Helen Pidd, a senior Guardian journalist tweeted a photograph of an antisemitic banner made by a 13-year-old boy. Pidd was tweeting a series of photographs from a protest against the Conservative Party, including this banner in the series with no reference to its antisemitic strapline.
13 year old Morgan from Blackpool spent two days making this banner. Says if he could vote he wouldn't. pic.twitter.com/HtjpMQw3zf

The tweet triggered a range of responses, some of which were themselves antisemitic, however the majority simply condemned the antisemitism in the banner.
