'The Orwellian dystopia that Israel has constructed between the river and the sea — where tyranny is “security” and apartheid is “democracy” — is by no means unique, but the legitimacy it enjoys among Western allies is wreathed with exceptionalism.' @aj_iraqi.

@RedRosa91940184 @greg_herriett The false accusations of antisemitism were about making sure that the Labour Party wouldn't have any members who oppose imperialism, settler-colonialism, & the Nakba. Capitalism & imperialism have always been mutually dependent, so it rids the Labour Party of anti-capitalists.

@simonmaginn It is Zionists who have much more similarity to Mosley & his ilk - they subscribe wholeheartedly to the white-supremacist imperialist right to dominate the world, which makes them happy to keep the racialised other separate & inferior - apartheid - & to resort to genocide.

@m7mdkurd In making antisemitic statements, Mahmoud Abbas is cementing his alliance with the Zionist regime. Zionists thrive on actual Jew-hate antisemitism, which in their eyes justifies their crimes; Zionism & antisemitism are twins born of hatred, racism, & fear, & used by imperialism.

How to deal with people brazen enough to canvass for votes for political parties supporting apartheid, the most extreme form of state-sponsored racism:.
Labour councillors in Tower Hamlets tried to campaign and ask people to vote labour…. It didn’t go very well, people across the country feel betrayed by Labour’s position on Gaza. When will Labour realise just what they’ve done?. #LabourAreFinished 🥀

Hackney Council's Pension Fund has one of the worst investment profiles in the UK in terms of companies that support Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine. As the local elections approach, we call on all the candidates to do what Sussan (and the United Nations) ask - DIVEST.
