I don't think they have been either naive or weak. They have delivered their centre right, pro-genocide agenda unstintingly and with great alacrity. They have destroyed the Labour Party and utterly alienated its core supporters!

Americans do not have the strength, resilience or courage to effectively resist the authoritarian oppression of the Trump regime. Consequently the U.S is neither brave nor free. Posting on Bluesk social media will achieve nothing. It is what actions you take to resist that will define your future.

I support Zionism without qualification”.– Keir Starmer, statement to Jewish News, February 2020 We were given fair warning, but could not have guessed the extreme nature of his Zionism. We could not have guessed that he would select a cabinet stuffed with paid Israeli assets. All is now clear.
