So what upside did these people gain with Brexit? Better wages, cheaper prices, more rights and freedoms, better public services?

Well, no doubt they're enjoying their pay rise now. Fortunately I have an EU passport, which tempers my lament for the idiots and bigots who brought this on themselves

It seems it's OK to hate Jews if: - you're Jewish yourself, or - they oppose Israel's atrocities, or - you're a racist fascist but support Israel regardless because you hate Muslims and brown people more than you hate Jews

At least the US is now consistent in supporting the bad guys: Russia and Israel. While the UK gets its hypocritical knickers in a twist over whether Zionism, the philosophy that's led inexorably to a genocide in which the UK is complicit, actually amounts to racism

I'd venture that it's much, much safer and easier to be Jewish in the UK, whether you choose to espouse Zionism or not, than to be Palestinian in your own homeland

The US thinks it's prosperous when it can't even provide universal healthcare?

Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 6h
Yeah. And some Eastern Europeans came to the UK. And fixed all the plumbing and stuff. And all was fine. Until one of them spoke their own language on a train and pissed off a racist gammon. Then all hell broke loose!

The US supports Israel too. What did anyone really expect?

It seems the time you see real "antisemitism" unleashed is when a decent person of Jewish heritage is brave enough to push back on Israel's genocidal atrocities and the ideology underpinning those atrocities

I heard more convincing arguments back in the day in support of apartheid in South Africa. The results of Zionism are plain to see, whatever it may have once meant. Those who've suffered under it understandably recoil from it, and there's no coming back, any more than for the once innocuous swastika

In a controlling abusive relationship you shouldn't feel the need to seek the abuser's permission to walk out

The only argument I've heard against free movement is that some English people didn't like to hear Romanian spoken on the train. Or was it Polish? Or maybe it was a queue of brown migrants, supposedly from Turkey? I forget

The US has supported and perpetrated a helluva lot of shit over the years, up to and including a genocide that's ongoing. Trump's support of Russia is hardly surprising, and arguably entirely consistent

People are being genocided and books are being banned of those who oppose the genocide? Where could that possibly ever happen?

In committing a holocaust there's no coming back for Israel as presently constituted. See also Nazi Germany

If one is going to support Israel, the morally consistent position is to also support Russia. Same expansionist genocidal intent

If you're gonna side with Israel the morally consistent position is to side with Russia, since the land-grabbing genocidal intent is the same. What is it that isn't understood about this?
000
Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 10h
If you're gonna side with Israel you might as well side with Russia, since the land-grabbing genocidal intent is the same. At least the US is consistent in this regard, unlike Europe

Given that Palestinians are a Semitic people, if ever there was one, arguably there ain’t nothing more antisemitic than Zionism

Meanwhile Brits who served in the genocidal so-called IDF are no doubt walking around free as birds, instead of being hunted down and tried for the war criminals they are. And anyone who so much as shoves them on the tube would be deemed antisemitic

Because long before even Trump, Europeans grabbed it and renamed it all America. And many there still think history only began when one group of genociding white slaver colonists had a spat over the stolen land with another group of genociding white slaver colonists

Trump's effectively done that for the entire US, which is now a puppet of Russia and Israel - probably in large part due to Epstein kompromat

Goodness gracious me. Neither Zia Yusuf or Suella Braverman would fit many Reform-types' definition of Englishness for reasons that you'd have thought would be obvious even to them

What's unforgivable is the land-stealing, ethnic cleansing and genocide perpetrated by an apartheid ethno-state - not taking issue with the philosophy underpinning it or holding that an inclusive state where all are equal is a better way forward

What does antisemitism even mean any more? Hating Jews just for being Jews? That tends to be far-right racists who support Israel only bc they hate Muslims more. Hating Semites? Then what about Palestinians? Overused as a slur against opponents of Israel's atrocities the term is now denuded of force

Once again the problem is Brexit. Which makes the UK uninvestable as it Is. Raise capital gains tax and it just gets worse. Applies to much else. The only viable option is rejoining the EU

A government stopping payments to medical insurance companies and providing free healthcare funded by taxation is pretty civilized. Is that what Trump means? Didn't think so

Does Trump mean that by stopping payments to medical insurance companies the US government will provide free healthcare funded by taxation like other civilized countries? Didn't think so

So organisations inciting this kind of far-right extremism, like Reform and Restore, will be proscribed right? Didn't think so

This is all understandable. But sadly Zionism has been coopted and perverted into violent racism of the worst kind with which it is now indelibly linked. Similar things happen to symbols like the once innocuous swastika. The blame rests on those who did the perverting, not those recoiling from it

Not sure I'd be using that excuse at The Hague. These Palestinians who happened to live in this land we grabbed aren't our own people so executing them all over the place doesn't count as public execution

So much for catholic meaning universal. Though to be fair Roman Catholicism is a heresy to the universal and apostolic right-believing Orthodox church!
