The Green Party descends into disgrace
As expected, the Green Party has today passed its motion declaring Zionism to be racism, and calling for Israel to be replaced by a single state of Palestine.

The greatest service Keir Starmer did the Labour party was to drive the anti-Semitic left out of the Labour party. He deserves immense credit for that. The Greens welcoming them with open arms was absolutely always going to prove a disastrous decision

When you've got senior members trying to find places to hide and are having to rule out physical violence from proponents... ...maybe a motion is slightly dodgy?

There is a lot of circular money in tech right now. But also a lot of noise. Decent comment by @tpgroberts.bsky.social that cuts through a bit of “it’s all bad” which is the OG posters vibe and can wear thin at times.

I appreciate that we need the full details of the latest apparent attempt to murder as many Jews as possible using a plane but if it turns out airlines can’t ensure their pilots aren’t dangerous assassins it rather rubbishes me putting little pots of liquid in clear plastic bags before boarding.

Absolutely appalling. Costs have gone up 10-20x when I got mine. The government shouldn’t be a profit Center. These people (as / was I) pay taxes. But you know, immigrants. So acceptable to squeeze. For reasons.

James is not wrong. And as a South African they’ve also massively misread that and what Mandela achieved (short answer: not bloodshed) Seems like they know very little about Israel/South Africa and from what I can tell from the thread Algeria.

Don’t say “an OpenAI agent swarm autonomously hacked HuggingFace”. Once you say “OpenAI built a ‘hack any company’ machine and accidentally pointed it at HuggingFace, where it performed exactly as designed”, you’ll see that there’s nothing to be alarmed about

One of my pet peeves is looking for country level explanations for global trends. I am no expert but I don't think Norway doing X in 2022 or France changing policy Y in 2019 can explain these global declines across a diverse set of countries.

I think something a fair number of people refuse to engage with is that American Jews have good reason to fear for their physical safety. Zionism is a morally and practically disastrous response to that, but the underlying concern is legitimate.

I'm not saying Zionism has uniformly worked (October 7th, current pariah-ness, etc.) but there's something of an open question, zooming out at Jewish history, as to what would.

I think this is a lot about “places you go to often and get to know the other people who do” (Cheers the tv show was basically this) This used to be the pub. Now it might be the pub. But more likely to be the coffee shop, the gym, the shared working space.
