Is it racist, though? If the statement is so outrageous, you’d think it would be very simple to rebut. And yet, nobody has tried: they just point and screech like Donald Sutherland in Bodysnatchers, and never address the question. I wonder why nobody wants to do that?

Obviously I oppose Zionist settler terror in all its forms but I’m exhausted by and uninterested in the endless litigation of incidents involving white journalists or colonial “diplomats” while “Israel’s” daily massacres of Palestinians in Gaza pass without notice.
Look, we hate Elon, and the functionality of that new car is dubious at best, but we don't have to pretend that the car trick wasn't cool.

If You Think Antisemitism Is a Problem, You're a Zionist.
The Left needs to abandon the Zionism narrative of antisemitism. Jews are not the victims of racism, and pretending otherwise plays right into the Zionists' hands. Don't believe me? Read my new piece.

*The land of our fore-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great(+40 more)-grandfathers, but who's counting? Zionist logic is so funny because this means I and most other people are entitled to roughly 75% of Afro-Eurasia
Netanyahu just responded to Obama:
"The Jewish people are not foreign occupiers in the land of our forefathers. Our history is not a colonial enterprise. Our land is not stolen land. This is our homeland. It's called Judea. We're not the Dutch in Indonesia. We're not the Belgians in the Congo. We're Jews in Judea."
When 750,000 people are expelled, when villages are erased, when checkpoints dictate who can breathe- that's not a homeland. That's an occupation

Novara kept asking about strategy at the Greens for Palestine press conference. They mistake a comms strategy for a political strategy. We have a political strategy and build our comms around it. The storm may be raging but the Greens will emerge from this stronger.
I’ll explain the strategy in more detail to Novara at 6pm this Tuesday.
This constant reporting of antisemitism accusations must be doing wonders for the perception of Jews in the UK.

Yes nothing bad happened to Palestinians when the Socialists ran Israel... Just the Nakba... and like three wars...

"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."

"I don't know what the fuss is about. Zionism is of course racist. .... Zionists ... decided to establish their self-determination on the territory of another people. .... There's no way that the state of Israel could have been established without the expulsion of the people already living in the territory ... Why is this so difficult to understand?"

It's all manufactured by the press, Zionist lobby groups and right-wing politicians and everyone just goes along with it. All the statements condemning the Green Party make it clear that most politicians don't actually care about Israel either - it's just completely performative
I blame David Baddiel and Rachel Riley.

Zionism in the UK is some sort of mass psychosis. We aren't a religious country. Christians don't care about Israel, most people don't give a shit about any country let alone Israel, our Jewish population is small. Pro-Israel politics doesn't motivate people to vote
Gonna posit the idea that no one (outside of jews, of course) really cares that much, if at all, about antisemitism. If anything, I would wager that the vast majority of the public are fed up of hearing about it. It is mostly cited for cynical ends. People know this.

For starters the GPEW actually needs to start attacking them on the fact they screwed over local government for the sake of Israel’s honour instead of another bajillion statements about how Labour are the Real Antisemites™️
