You know, I am quite ambivalent about bsky because it's quite genteel and unbothered in the main. I have seen FAR MORE OUTRAGE about the Greens motion over the last two hours than posts about Palestine over the last two years.

If you want a better world we are going to need to be much tougher than I'm seeing from lots of people today. Regardless of what particular motions are passed, they will come for us, and a few negative headlines is just the appetiser. So prepare yourself for the fight. The world is at stake.

To suggest that Zionism equates with Jewish self-determination is actually what might be considered antisemitic. It flattens diverse Jewish lived and historical experiences and suggests that Jews everywhere have some kind of dual loyalty.
