Took my kids on a steam train. Ended up in Sheringham, Norfolk. This astonishingly racist Golliwog caricature stands in the entrance of Carousel Amusements, clearly visible from the street. Absolutely shameful.

If your place of worship is used to market the proceeds of war crimes, the moral response is to oppose that - not attack those who do. Pollock’s appeal to childhood nostalgia speaks to the arrested development at the stale heart of the Zionist project.

t’s difficult to describe the impact of these scenes. They’re protesting outside the synagogue I went to as a child, the venue for my ‘Sunday school’ (Cheder), around the corner from my Jewish primary school. A place I associate with pure joy. Depressing doesn’t come close.

A striking example of the portability of antisemitism in the Zionist worldview: Tapp isn’t Jewish, yet claims antisemitism. Polanski, a Jewish man targeted by Tapp for opposing genocide, is denied both victimhood and even his Jewishness. The world turned upside down.

Mike Tapp MP tweet reads: I’m more disturbed that you spent the night thinking about me. 

The antisemitism I’ve woken to from the extreme left over night  is utterly unhinged, shameful and disturbing.

Useful idiot Mike Tapp helpfully illustrates the chilling effect of proscription. His argument isn’t meant to be coherent; it’s pure authority: “Fuck you, we’re in charge.”

Pictonico is a new Nintendo game that pulls from your camera roll. If you forget to exclude your screenshots folder you get random jumpscares.

Shouldn’t Tony Blair advocating a: “postwar Gaza Riviera, including blockchain-based trade initiatives and low-tax special economic zones” mean that we don’t listen to anything he says ever again?

Zionism, only a few years ago, relied on the NYT. Now they've traded-up, enjoying the support of a smaller but meaner set of publications and politicians. Ethnostates are defined by shrinking in-groups and growing out groups. So are their media strategies.

“The Israeli Prime Minister has threatened to file a libel lawsuit against The New York Times regarding Nicholas Kristof’s deeply reported opinion column on sexual abuse by Israel’s prison guards, soldiers, settlers and interrogators. This threat, similar to one made last year, is part of a well-worn political playbook that aims to undermine independent reporting and stifle journalism that does not fit a specific narrative. Any such legal claim would be without merit.”

 — Danielle Rhoades Ha, a spokesperson for The New York Times

Israel is raping Palestinians with dogs, this is Eve Barlow's reaction. I cannot imagine typing this without having an "Are we the bad guys?" realisation. You’d be hard-pressed to find a clearer example of the complete moral degradation at the heart of her political project.

For the 1000th time. 

There is no scientific or behavioral evidence that dogs can be trained to commit sexual assault. 

Experts and dog behaviorists point to several biological and cognitive barriers that make this impossible. 

But go on with your desperate myths.

England’s leading party wants concentration camps. The government they oppose is also building camps and enabling genocide. I voted Green, but our voting system made that vote worthless. You can see why people end up smashing up arms factories…

One of these days people will wake up and realize that there's been one good Star Fox game and half the reason it was good was because it was insane that they put new weird math chips inside the cartridge.

Tactical voting is a cul-de-sac. If you keep backing parties that oppose proportional representation - despite MPs, party members, and the public supporting it - then nothing will change. If you want a vote that matters in the long run, vote Green today.

If Labour actually cared about antisemitism they wouldn’t habitually conflate a genocidal pariah state with all Jews, endangering the latter to shield the former from criticism.
