So your objection is to the language of the motion itself rather than the assertion? Who are these non racist Zionists of which you speak and what is it that they believe? I'm assuming you mean some of the more socialist kibbutzes from the early days that attempted some form of co-existence.

What I think is remarkable is when asked to explain your stance regarding Zionism you verbally dodge about and explain nothing. All you say is people identify with the term but aren't racist. You don't explain how this is the case.

The only way you are going to convince anyone that your argument is valid is if you define the term and explain why it isn't a racist ideology. All else is empty rhetoric. I am open to being convinced that I am wrong. You just aren't making the attempt to do so.

Well then tell me what you believe. Specifically what you believe about Zionism and the meaning of the term. This does sound a little like the people that insist Communist governments are not actually Communists.

And as a final though. This is less about the specific case of the Zionism policy and more an absolute loathing for any political group that might challenge the neoliberal consensus. Even a little bit.

Regrettably, it would seem that most Israeli Zionists disagree. And as the people implementing the policy don't they kinda get the last word as to what the term means?

Shaun Murrant (☕🧉🍻🏳️‍🌈)He/Him @pilotmoondog.bsky.social · 11h
So, your position is that Zionism merely involves the movement of Jews to the area of ancient Israel, and does not automatically involve driving out those that already live there?

Friend pointed out that if your dog goes and harms someone, you can be held criminally liable for the actions of the dog. So why can't we hold AI companies criminally liable for the actions of their "AI" agents, e.g. providing false evidence to the police, hacking government and corporate systems?

Think of it less as bias, and more: it’s snobbery and hierarchy. Badenoch is a ludicrous, disastrously online clown but she is leader of the Tory Party, and that makes her a real person who matters, supported by real people who matter. Polanski is not: he is beneath them, and so are his supporters.

I liked the bit where they meet Vorenus and Pullo and Anthony is incensed that they met Pompey and didn't try to capture or kill him. Caesar tell him he won't kill them because they have survived all sorts of misfortune and obviously have the favour of powerful gods who he does not want to anger.

I always appreciated the bit in "Rome" where Anthony accuses Caesar of playing at religion, and Caesar, with full seriousness, tells him he's not playing at all. Julius is meant to be slippery, and at that moment, the audience loses grip entirely bc *we* assume it's play-acting at religion.
