Nandy cares about antisemitism so much that she has likened criticism of the IDF to criticism of all Jews, which means the IDF is above criticism. It does not, however, mean that all Jews are responsible for the actions of the IDF. Conflating all Jews with the IDF is antisemitic, but it's also antisemitic to not do this. I hope you're keeping up!

WTF my additional rewording for 'DEATH DEATH TO THE IGF', runs along the lines of DEATH DEATH TO LABOUR ZIONISTS!

The downfall of Labour is coming! The downfall of Israel is coming!

I hope I'm alive to see the downfall of Israel!

Basic rule at this point - if news about the UK government's crazed desire to stifle free speech doesn't look like a parody version of 1984, it's not accurate enough.

At this point the best thing they could do as well as dismantling the IDF, is to dismantle the BBC and get this Genocidal state broadcaster that we pay for off our airwaves.

Dismantling the BBC would suit MorlochMurdoch perfectly, he could then push for ABC US and ABC OZ and all his dreams coming true might mean he can die happy, which could be very good for mankind be cause we could then call for the whole mortice media empire to be broken up before Lachlan gets going to be worse than huh father, if that's possible.

You make a good point about other, even more right-wing media lies that could take over. However, at least we wouldn't have to pay directly for it and ABC doesn't masquerade as an honest news broadcaster and we all know that it is a mouthpiece of the Devil IsRael.

I cancelled mine a while back, but it's no surprise to learn that they've made it harder >:$

I had to "apply" to cancel and then call a 300 number. After 40min on hold I then had to listen to another 20m of timeshare spiel about all I'd be giving up. The guy on the phone was massively sympathetic about how shit the process was, just some poor grunt doing a thankless task he knew was BS, poor thing.

🙄 They really don't like us rejecting that daily helping of propaganda, do they?

They DO NOT! Considering how little Beeb I've watched over the past decade I'm actually retroactively horrified by the amount of money I've given them.

Actually, as a representative of the Sixties Gen, I was hoping to bring back the ghost of Frank Zappa specifically to sing to Lisa (and others): "Broken Hearts Are for Assholes". And for Israel, while we're at it.

If everyone who is appalled by Israel's racist genocide has automatically to be an anti semite, does that make every scumbag who supports it automatically an Islamophobe? And if being an antisemite is 'a bad thing', surely being an Islamophobe must be too? Or are haters who hate Jews much worse than haters who hate Muslims? Why? Is it possible to hate the evil perpetrated by a race or a religion, but without stooping to hate the race, or the religion? It ought to be. Humans stop being evil when they stop believing they'll get away with it. Religions aren't dangerous when their followers aren't fuckwits. Islamophobes - ie, Zionists who see Arabs of every religion as 'subhuman animals' - who accuse people of being antisemites are simply trying desperately to make decent people seem as scummy as they are themselves.

Every time these MPs come out with Palestine racism, we need to remind the people of all the donations received by the Labour Party from Israel and people can make their own minds up

No, Zippy from Rainbow 'Zippy ruins games, shouts over people, sometimes steals and imposes his own emotional state – good or bad – on to every single situation in the house. Zippy wants and needs everything to be about him.'https://www.bigissue.com/culture/tv/the-dark-shadow-cast-by-rainbows-zippy/

Thanks for keeping me up to date on UK news! You’re a source I can trust. Maybe the only one I do. 👸

Just as Israel has done its best to destroy truthfulness through its imaginative use of bland mendacity (“We dare you to challenge us!”) Laura upholds it - magnificently - through her imaginative use of riotous honesty.

Love it.

Despite being a pacifist, Nandy makes me feel like abandoning my principles and stamping on her, all by total accident of course. Anyhow, seriously, great piece of writing.
