Zionist behaviour, and Zionist statements. A handful of Zionists disagreeing with the vast majority of Zionists doesn't negate that. I suggest you and I leave it here. You already suggested that I was racist, and this convo is extremely close to nosediveding. (3/3)

who dares say Zionism is racist (which it is) there's a marked lack of criticism from you re the open racism common throughout Israel, the land being stolen for Lebensraum, and the genocide of Palestinians. Odd, wouldn't you say? Saying Zionism is racist is factual, and is based on decades of (2/3)

Simon, the only reason you're not already blocked is because I have had respect for you for a long time. Re Israel's existence - again, I have no issue with that, provided it remains within international law, which absolutely means the 1967 borders. In all your talk about criticising anyone (1/3)

I have zero issue with Jews wanting a homeland. I have a major problem with Jews wanting that homeland on stolen land, for them, exclusively. And Simon, I have a track record of fighting racism stretching back to the 1980s. On my body I still carry scars left by the South African Security (1/2)

If Kurds (or any other group) wanted a homeland where they alone have full rights, and anyone else are (at best) 2nd-rate citizens, then yes, it would be racist. Except that's not what the Kurds want, now is it?

I fail to see what's shocking about saying Zionism is inherently racist. If you want to build a homeland JUST for one group of people, at the exclusion of all else, you are absolutely racist.

Scholen VS verbieden recordaantal van 12.000 boeken - en AI hielp daarbij
In verschillende Amerikaanse staten zijn strenge regels over wat er in de klas gezegd en onderwezen mag worden, en daarom zijn boeken over thema's als ras en lhbti verboden in schoolbibliotheken.

Boycotting also reduces the odds of companies wanting to put out more related merchandise, and that in turn can lead to less public interest in the brand. The more that happens, the less influence Rowling has on public sentiment. This is why refusing to accept even free stuff can have an impact.

“Destroyed a ULEZ camera” is an interesting way to describe detonating a homemade bomb in a residential street, sending shrapnel into homes and cars, and being convicted of causing an explosion likely to endanger life. Still, “camera” does make the fifteen years sound terribly unreasonable.
