Pro-indy & pro-Europe. Motherwell FC and the Clash. I like old photographs. If you have a racist friend, now is the time for our friendship to end. Hate bigotry in ALL forms and there's no such thing as positive discrimination.

Has this livestreamed execution been put out to tender yet? One can only speculate which evil companies will sign up for pay-per-view. But you can guarantee Trump will have shares.

Question: Does Israel have a right to exist? Correct answer: Your question is racist because it centres the coloniser rather than its victims. It's not Israel whose land is being stolen. It's not Israelis who live under brutal occupation. Ask me about Palestine's right to exist.

Live-streamed public executions by firing squad: how low can barbarian America go? America is lost. It’s so morally debased it can’t be saved. Only its collapse will lead to redemption. Until then, every civilised nation on Earth should turn its back on this pariah. In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Where exactly is rock bottom for America? How low can that nation sink?

As previously noted: the end of this trajectory isn’t “two states”. The consequence is us sitting here in twenty years with the Palestinians long eradicated, watching the Robo-IDF “fight terrorism” in its Lebanese and Syrian provinces. And it’s not like our leaders don’t understand this.

I have no strong view on a preferred outcome here - “stop the massacre and destruction” feels like the immediate priority - but I invite readers to note the result of decades of nice libs wishing for two states is their own governments assisting in genocide, ethnic cleansing and massive destruction.

The Guardian view on the Green party and Palestine: rejecting two states is no shortcut to peace
Editorial
Zack Polanski must defend Palestinian freedom while reassuring Jewish members and showing that his party can handle disagreements

Nour Odeh: "It didn't happen because of the Oct 7 attack, in fact, Israeli society has been veering to the right for years" And of course it wasnt the Israeli right who established the occupation, settlement project & apartheid. No, it was the so called moderates who did that

You should understand this stuff not as analysis of public opinion - since when did the lads give a fuck about that? - and not even as threats. These are promises: we, the press, are now going to fuck you up, and we won’t stop screaming until your lives are utterly miserable.

I think the problem around all of this is the definition of Zionism. Society no longer has a shared reality - for example, most UK media pundits over the weekend seem to believe that Zionism is anti-racist concept which advocates for a 2-state-solution - despite all evidence to the contrary.

“Zionism is racism” is not a policy but a slogan. It compresses a complex history, going back millennia, and a very wide set of beliefs into one narrow meaning. The answer to genocide is not discrimination. We don't fight racism with racism. I’m gutted to see this motion adopted by the Green Party.

In recognition of the Zionism is Racism vote today here's some of the video evidence, just to remind those who need it that this is what Zionism has wrought on the non-Jewish population since 1948. Let's start with this banger from October 2023.

Nothing wrong with healthy debate on the topic! But media attempts to portray this policy as inherently antisemitic are deliberately ignoring the many many Jewish voices in favour of it. I don't think that helps anyone.

I'm not a Green member and I'm not Jewish, so disregard this based on that if you want, but most of the people I spoke to this weekend at English Green conf who backed the Zionism is racism motion were Jewish. One served in the IDF, another was a child Holocaust survivor

The secretary of state for Justice (an MP for Nottingham) rules out holding another Scottish independence referendum. He also says that voting on whether to be a member of the (European) Union is different to voting on whether to be a member of the union.
