But there has to be a solution. A change of US government could help. There are no easy fixes but a two state sollution remains the only option

My point is that it is the Israeli government and the Israeli people that are presently the problem. This needs to change if a 2 state sollution is to happen but it is not impossible. Banging on about zionism achieves nothing. We short prosecuted actual crimes according to international law

It is quite possible for Israel to exist without oppressing the Palestinians.

People should be judged by their actions not their ideology or religion. You could equally say that 9/11 wouldn't have happened without Islam. This does not mean that Islam was the cause

Better to oppose actual acts of genocide than ideologies

Dave Mitchell @chemit.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
My issue is equating zionism with racism. It is not necessary to do this when criticizing the ethnic cleansing and genocide that the Israeli state has carried out.

Dave Mitchell @chemit.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
By focusing on this issue he also removes the main issue (the destruction of the planet) from centre stage
000
Dave Mitchell @chemit.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
It's the easiest path for him to satisfy base. It is possible to call out the Israeli genocide without getting bogged down into issues about zionism. Calling zionism racism sounds petty and abstract to many and does nothing to further the Palestinian cause.

Dave Mitchell @chemit.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
With your defense of the 'zionism is racism' thing you give the impression that you just follow whatever path seems easiest. I also don't get the feeling that you care more for the environment than your carreer

Mind-blowing story in Private Eye about how the Telegraph's chief reporter reached out to James Orr (or meant to) after the Channel 4 donation revelations


...within hours of journalists on either the *Guardian* or *Sunday Times* contacting Reform for comment on the same stories ahead of them publishing their own investigations. Reform deputy leader Richard Tice and his fiancée, supposed journalist Isabel Oakeshott, even crowed online about their spoiler tactics.

Not that the *Telegraph* doesn't do its own leg work when reporting on Reform. After James Orr, the party's head of policy, had to resign after a sting by *Channel 4 News* (see "*Right Orr Wrong*, p14"), *Telegraph* chief reporter Rob Mendick texted Orr: "I was hoping to talk to you entirely on background," he schmoozed. "You must be feeling very bruised and I totally Appreciate [sic] the sensitivities. I suspect you deserve better and I wanted to see how I can put the record straight in some way." Alas, instead of the Reformer and Cambridge theologian, Mendick messaged someone else, who shared it with the *Eye*!

Yelling "stop the boats!" as I charge in to rob this NatWest at gun point so that I can later call the Home Secretary as a character witness and the BBC will spend two weeks telling all my potential future jurors how legitimate my concerns were.

Nick Robinson on Today is literally talking about ‘legitimate concerns’ after second night of organised men dressed in black - sorry ‘protesters’ - mobilising en masse in another littoral town. This is how street fascism is normalised

When you really think about it, there are only 2 universally loved people. David Attenborough Dolly Parton And we lost one today. It's kinda heartbreaking.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I think it's a lot to do with London East Enders moving out. I'm from Canvey Island and it's basically the same there. It's sort of built on a romanticised version of the past and a fear of change
