Royal Family social media is hit with ‘anti-Semitic’ and ‘disgusting’ comments after uploading post to celebrate Jewish holiday

The Royal Family’s social media has been hit with ‘anti-Semitic’ and ‘disgusting’ comments after they uploaded a post to celebrate a Jewish holiday. 

The post reads ‘Happy Rosh Hashanah’ – the Jewish New Year festival – and ‘Shanah Tovah’, meaning ‘a good year’. 

People have since commented on the post to slam the Royal Family and call them out for uploading it during the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. 

Reacting to the abuse, others backed the monarchy’s decision to support the Jewish holiday, with one writing: ‘Wow really stupid and uneducated people on here, this isn’t about Israel or Palestine it’s about a holiday for Jewish people.’

Another said: ‘Look at the comments and tell me it’s not antisemitism! Shanah Tovah we are here to stay!’ 

The Royal Family posted on social media to celebrate the Jewish holiday

A third added: ‘A Jewish holiday does not have to do with geopolitical conflict. Please let the Jewish people have a sweet new year without the hate comments!’ 

It comes as a defence chief warned today that Britain and America could be dragged into a wider war between Israel and Iran – as the globe teeters on the brink of World War Three.

US and British warships are already in the region, with one of America’s most powerful aircraft carriers the USS Harry S Truman now steaming across the Atlantic to bolster the West’s military muscle in the region.

Iran launched an unprecedented onslaught against Tel Aviv overnight which saw about 180 ballistic missiles being fired against Israel, plunging the Middle East into chaos.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the Iranian leadership had ‘made a big mistake’ and he defiantly vowed it ‘will pay’ for its bombardment.

Meanwhile Iran threatened more ‘crushing attacks’ on Israel – while Iranian-backed militias warned American bases in Iraq would be targeted should the US join any action against Tehran.

And as the crisis threats to explode, with Israel continuing with its bombing against Lebannon today, Admiral Lord Alan West, the former head of the Royal Navy, feared the ratcheting up of military aggression was reaching a dangerous stage.
