Luke Stronach @lukestronach.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I know people like to treat the D motion like a huge gotcha when a) amendment 3 was voted down, which would surely have been an acceptable buttress against any disciplinary measures and b) pretends the new DC isn't full of people who voted for the motion 100

Luke Stronach @lukestronach.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Extremely telling that a flagship council for the Greens (Norwich) has fallen into civil war over the zionism motion.

Luke Stronach @lukestronach.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I mean, this is the crux of it, right? It's all just part of a 'healthy debate' for these people. It's not real, it's just semantics. And 'many many Jewish voices' agree with me, so I don't understand why the rest of you are whinging about it. 000

I would have loved them to focus on a post Covenant space, there's a good story in trillions of beings finding their way in the universe after their worldview crashes.

Luke Stronach @lukestronach.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The violence is the point. They *want* mass expulsions and what that entails because they see it as a redemptive act for the sin of not just the Israeli state, but every Israeli. This is why Algeria ('the coffin or the suitcase') was the 'right' outcome and SA was the 'wrong' one. 010
