Astonishing this kind of fascist action can take place under a labour government
Today’s Labour is a kind of conservative party.
I would like the conservative party to be the conservative party and the labour party to be the labour party :(
So would a lot of people, and there was a chance of that with Jeremy Corbyn until the right-wingers in Labour stabbed him in the back with the help of the Tories and all of the media. They are terrified of workers figuring out where their real interests lie.
Interesting to read yesterday that Corbyn is forming a new party. It’s a big mountain to climb and he’s no spring chicken, but if it’s done right the UK could once again have a party true to Labour’s original principles.
Hows Flyingsquid doing over there in England? Haven’t seen him in a long while and didn’t he move there to escape shit like this?
Fuck Keir Starmer
Why has liberal-ruled Britain become attack dogs for Israel?
Because liberalism is a hypocritical ideology.
The USA built itself off genocide and colonialism and has spent the last three centuries expanding its empire to every continent (and has long-since been an attack dog for Israel).
France endorsed liberty, equality, and fraternity at home and horrors abroad in Haiti and Algeria.
To the credit of the Liberal Party, they were much less imperialist than the Whigs they derived from or Tories. This is not to say that they were truly opposed to imperialism. Cecil Rhodes was a Liberal.
In all of these cases, the colonial adventures did not occur despite liberalism but were justified by it. We must bring enlightened civilization to the savages, you see. Locke and Mill, two foundational British figures of liberalism, were both supporters of colonialism.
Money says AIPAC money bought their politicians like they have in America. If I could wipe any organization off the Earth, AIPAC would be right behind Fox News. Fucking poison.
I just don’t get how AIPAC has so much leverage over the US
Lobbyists spend very little money to catch political ears. Look into it! I have. Stunning that a major company can drop $20,000 in pocket change and get in their pants.
AIPIC has got extra juice! Since WWII, being branded an anti-Semite is political poison. They don’t have to spend much money, just tell the pol, “Do as I say or we go scorched Earth on your happy ass!” Works. FFS, we have video and images of Israel actively committing genocide, murdering woman and children and people trying to get food. And what are the headlines? “$group warns of genocide!” “$group warns of mass starvation!” You mean shit that’s already happening YESTERDAY?!
Try saying anything negative, in any way, in any venue, use the word Jew. You will be excoriated and banned. Notice how every single post here makes certain to make the distinction between “Jew” and “Zionist”? I mean, it’s true, preaching to the choir guys, but the eggshell fire-walking is kinda nuts. And Jews don’t seem to have clue why international antisemitism is on the rise.
Not being snarky, I’m actually afraid to use the word, anywhere. That’s how deep the insanity goes. Watch me catch a ban for saying I’m uncomfortable using “Jew”, in any context. Watch 12 people explain that Jews are not necessarily Zionists. I GET that. But someone will comment!
And Jews don’t seem to have clue why international antisemitism is on the rise.
Maybe I’m the commenter you’re looking for, but this seems like an overgeneralization. I have several Jewish friends who are under no illusions about Israel, and who are quite clear about how Netanyahu and his ilk are consciously and cynically fueling antisemitism, not least by throwing around accusations if it against anyone who criticizes the genocide they are perpetrating. So saying “Jews don’t seem to have [any] clue” feels heavy-handed.
(can’t edit my own posts)
For context, I’m a 54yo atheist and had always supported Israel. Poor underdogs! Nah. Now Israel is the Third Reich, and fuck them, all of their supporters.
Sickening how we have to repeat history every time our grandparents die out.
Yo britishes, how’s it going?
Sue them.
