I read that thread. This woman seems to have, in the proud British tradition, put on her pith hat and explored whole new virgin fields of racism.
I need it to be a porno now, but one of those made for female audiences where it's the emotional experience being highlighted. A bloodpact ritual to eternally link themselves to the torah, two minutes of deeply problematic sex where any time he makes contact with her there's a trail of hair like a great pyrenees, then the camera focuses on her absently gazing at the ceiling while it happens. It fades to black and becomes a 45 minute justification of Zionism in a beautiful "oi guvnah I's a bit o' the ole semite I is" accent.
I think it's a reference to lie back and think of England. A famous quote from a Victorian upper class woman about how to handle spousal rape. The Victorians were I am sad to say not alright
This is the antisemitism equivalent of "nonono, i love black people, they have an innate talent for music and basketball!"
Also cf: "I'd never be racist against Asians, they're so good at maths!"
This is more like "I'm not racist, I watch porn with black people!"
You’re not supposed to write “beat”.
You mess with the rhythm of the reading through format.

her wiki article is dunks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Burchill#Religion_and_philo-semitism
"The problem is [Burchill] doesn’t have any in-depth knowledge. I can imagine her endlessly watching the film Exodus with Paul Newman. She’s got a kind of Hollywood view of Jews. You know, ‘Jews are so clever, we’ve survived...'."[58]
She announced in November 2012 that her next book, Unchosen, was to be crowd-source funded, via Unbound, and published after enough pledges had been received.[57] Her agent had failed to interest six conventional publishers in the project.[59]
"Crowd funded journalists" no thanks, how about we crowd fund this: :gui-better:
In 2014, Burchill's book Unchosen: The Memoirs of a Philo-Semite was published. Tel Aviv-based writer Akin Ajayi in Haaretz thought "the reactionary solipsism of Unchosen is far removed from the affectionate warmness that a love of the Jewish people can be".[60] Burchill's ex-husband, Cosmo Landesman, considered it to be an "exhilarating and exasperating mix of the utterly brilliant and the totally bonkers". He observes that "there are plenty of Jews Julie doesn't love" including the "millions of Jews around the world who have ever criticised Israel. Her love is blind, deaf and dumb to such an obvious contradiction".[61] Guardian columnist Hadley Freeman wrote: "Hilariously, she sets herself up as the Jewishness Police, railing against Jews who are not Jewish enough".
A bunch of people on the far right are engaging in weird philosemitism, helpfully self-identified by the author of this book, driven by their understanding of Israel as part of a united front against Islam, which seems to be briefly referenced by the authors claim that there is a "troubling trend" for young black people to support Islam. This also allows them also to posture about not being anti-semitic, and has an uncomfortable relationship with mainstream defence of Israel which arguably gives a window for these types to present themselves as noble defenders of minorities, not as closet Islamophobes and reactionaries opportunistically accusing e.g. Corbyn, Sanders and the left in general of being racist against Jews.
Not a surprise at this kind of overlap tbh.
