⭕️ Benjamin Moser, the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer and author of "Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History" agreed with the New York Times' main criticism of his new book on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Wednesday.
The Times review said the book "paints a fraught world in black and white" and casts Israelis and Palestinians as "evil perpetrator and a virtuous victim."
"Absolutely correct," said Moser. "I do think it's black and white… There's a colonizer and there's a colonized. There is a victim and there is a [perpetrator].”

What shocks me is how every liberal value has collapsed in Britain. Now people go after someone’s wife or go after someone because of his wife. This is truly barbaric stuff

Shami Chakrabarti, meet Ahmed Alnaouq- who lost almost his entire extended family in an Israeli bombing, including 13 small children - and @ghadakarmi - exiled as a child from Jerusalem in the Nakba and forced to live her entire life in exile because she belongs to the wrong ethnicity .
Perhaps you could explain to them why their views are "foolish ... student politics." /1
"For me as a Palestinian, Zionism is racism. Zionism is genocidal. Zionism is sociopathic. Zionism is all about ethnic cleansing for a group of people at the expense of another. If I were not Palestinian, if I just happened to be a Jewish person, I would have lived with all my rights granted. No one would have questioned me, no one would have come after my land, my country, to kill us. So if that is not racism, then what is? Ever since I came to the UK, I've been hearing some bizarre ideas: 'Zionism means different things to different people'. Zionism means only one thing. And it means one thing to the people that it was manifested at. Zionism means genocide and death."
Ahmed Alnaouq, who lost almost his entire extended family in a single air-strike, including 13 children, speaks at this morning's Greens4Palestine press conference./1

Greta Thunberg backs the Green Party and the zionism is racism motion by explaining why it’s … obviously racism

Can anyone remember the last time @BBCNews interviewed a Palestinian about their experience of the racism of Zionism? Having spent the last two weeks interviewing elderly Nakba survivors in Jordan, driven off their land in their teens because of their ethnicity and religion, I'd be happy to suggest some astonishingly articulate victims of Israeli racism who would be only too happy to tell their tragic stories of eviction, slaughter and dispossession. It is like reporting on the Civil Rights movement in the US and only interviewing outraged Whites

“[Saying] ‘Zionism is racism’ is offensive, it’s antisemitic and it’s dangerous”
Broadcaster Jo Coburn says she “watched in horror” as the Green Party passed its motion on Zionism and criticises leader Zack Polanski's defence in his #BBCLauraK interview

If a US politician made fun of Jewish people like this it would be the end of their careers.
But Islamophobia is totally fine and normalized.

I am sorry. I know you tried hard not to witness it
The BBC has witnessed Israeli settlers attack Palestinians and set fire to olive trees in the occupied West Bank. 🎧 #GlobalNewsPod bbc.in/4hXVX4b

I see we’ve arrived at the “Washington Post is Hamas”moment
The journalists at the @washingtonpost should themselves be investigated by the Israeli police and the @IDF as to who they are traveling with, their contacts, including relationships with terrorist organizations, foreign antizionist radicals and extremists, and their exact role in potentially inciting or instigating or engaging in violence against Israeli civilians.

The goal is that once all this is over, there will be no evidence the Palestinians had ever been there.

There are now novelists banned in Britain for their political opinions. And note the banned opinion is … opposing a genocide

The campaign against Polanski has now reached Corbyn levels of hysteria. So normalised has this become for the political/media class that they are totally oblivious to the fact the bulk of the public are saying - hang on, but he's Jewish.
According to Opinium 81% of Green voters who expressed a view said they supported the Zionism is racism motion and 60% of ALL voters under 34.
It is absolutely vital the current Green Party leadership stands firm. Millions switched to the Greens precisely because they appeared to be prepared to stand firm on the great moral issue of our day. To buckle would be disastrous for British democracy.
Antisemitism is a cancer in our politics.
We fought hard to root it out of our party.
We will not stand by and watch it infect public life again.

If Sally Rooney was donating the proceeds of her books to the IDF she'd be fine to sell them in the UK.
Despite their heinous crimes.
This is the dystopia we live in.
All for Israel.

With her lonely stand for Palestine, Sally Rooney has exposed the contemporary literary world as a nest of cowards and careerists
Where are all the Doris Lessings, Harold Pinters, John Bergers, Graham Greenes, Samuel Becketts that once raised their voices against war and injustice?
Rooney stands almost alone

Warmongers and neocons have been using this same dumb cliché for decades:
You must choose: either you're Churchill or Chamberlain.
The only way you can be Churchill is if you fight wars and bomb everywhere. If you refrain from war, you're Chamberlain. History for imbeciles:
