I think you've got it wrong on this front. yes, the motion will provoke an avalanche of 💩 from the media-political class, but I know that you're aware of the gulf between their opinions and the opinions of the popular at large - especially on the backdrop of Israel's more recent actions

there is no such thing as a 'two state solution': as Miko Peled says, Israel wasn't built beside Palestine, but on top of it it's been used as a distraction in Israel's game of colonial three-card monte for decades, and it's always been based on a lie

when the truth stands in opposition to political expediency, then I don't think the truth itself is the problem - the power dynamics of our politics is the problem is whoever is in control of the narrative, and how powerful they are. you don't need many guesses to figure that one out

that's what upsets and outrages me most of all. Jews and Judaism have a long history of standing with the underdog. "do not do unto others that which is hateful to you" being a key principle... what a horrendous, insulting betrayal of that great tradition

The Failed Anarchist Revival @failedanarchist.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
and btw: there is no 'two-state solution': Israel wasn't built beside Palestine, it was built on top of it. it wasn't a 'land without people'... those people are living with the consequence of nasty people riding a decades-long societal and political guilt trip, which has somehow become normalised

I'm a member of the Green Party (but not active) and I have no problem whatsoever with this motion being adopted - because it's true there's the nub of it: when stating the truth becomes opposed to power dynamics in politics, it's not the truth at fault www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

that says more about who controls that particular narrative than it does about the Greens or the validity of the question

The Failed Anarchist Revival @failedanarchist.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
an open and honest conversation about that claim is entirely valid and appropriate. whether it marginalises and discredits the party says more about those trying to control the narrative than it does about the Greens as a party I don't find it toxic at all - the conflation of Jews with Zionism is

excuse my pessimism, but I'll believe it when I see it. the whole of Westminster political culture is so bound to the crooked dynamics of FPTP that it'll be hard to shift. he could do it right now, with his massive majority, but he's going to wait until the next parliament - it's an empty promise
