In the US the democrats, yes them, are now endorsing a candidate for senate in Maine who has a nazi tattoo because he describes himself as a Bernie bro and a communist.

Thanks for the link
"The question being asked is: “Would they hide me?”
I'm not Jewish but I've been using the same metric lately, mine has been more along the lines of Would this person hide Anne Frank or turn them over to the Nazi's? Depressingly, I've come to the conclusion that there far, far more collaborators than saviours, especially amongst those in positions of power and influence.

"If our political parties really mean it when they talk about unity against Jew hatred, they should act this week."
Don't hold your breath Trev, none of them seem capable of growing a spine anytime soon. 😕

I have long argued that the solution to the housing crisis is to relax planning restrictions, but only in constituencies that vote Liberal Democrat.

I'm starting to worry that Zia Yusuf is eavesdropping on my conversations.

Muttering about Mothin Ali's lack of support for the LGBTQ is increasing. Peter Tatchell has called for him to make a statement.

Antisemitism on the left has been around for a very long time, and you don't have to have read Robert Wistrich on its history to see that it's never gone away. Leftists have become very skilled at unseeing this because they've convinced themselves that antisemitism is by definition a right wing phenomenon. [1]

I think a breaking point for me was Corbyn's leadership of Labour, specifically the Luciana Berger affair. (I'm not close to Luciana but we have mutuals, so I knew lots of the detail.) I witnessed Lindsey German, who is not a stupid woman, tie herself in rhetorical knots to deny that Corbyn or his supporters had anything to do with this: you see, all the threats and antisemitic abuse directed at Berger came from the far right, while Corbyn fans were only criticising her disloyalty to Dear Leader. Lindsey had her narrative and by jingo she was going to push it no matter how distant from the truth it was.

I watched Corbynite ganzer macher James Meadway, also not a stupid person, spend years not only denying there was antisemitism in Labour, but loudly mocking anyone who said there was. As soon as Corbyn was gone and Starmer was leader, he was offering himself as an honest broker who could sort out the party's antisemitism problem. Now he's in the Greens, establishing himself as one of Zack's policy guys.

Let's not forget all the Palestine marches they have been on, where they can't have failed to hear Muslim crowds doing the Khaybar chant, and I don't believe for an instant that experienced political operators like Corbyn and McDonnell and Abbott and John Rees don't know exactly what that means.

I can't tell you how much contempt I feel for a lot of these people. I know it's natural to want to downplay the problems in your political tribe, but blatantly lying about it for years is another thing.

This is getting to be a serious problem for the Greens, with their influx of Momentum types adding to the cranky fringe the party already had, and I don't think Zack has much space left where he can claim to be naive rather than dishonest.

And of course they'll come after him in the end.

[1] There is also antisemitism on the right of course - it's very easy to find on X, particularly among Rupert Lowe supporters, and (thinly veiled) among the young men he's hired to run his party. I'm not sure what will happen when they discover what a massive Israel supporter Rupert is.

@The Green Party in government will:
Implement a fair and humane system of managed immigration
Treat all migrants as if they are citizens
Give all residents the right to vote
Help families to be together
Dismantle the Home Office
Abolish the No Recourse to Public Funds condition
Abolish the ten year route to settlement'
Thats bold! 😂

Thats written by someone who just trying to annoy their dad.

"from the River to the Sea" and "globalize the Intifada" could never make any Jew feel unsafe. Whatever they might say.
Whereas "biological men should be allowed in women's prisons and sport" is a guaranteed to make TRAs feel unsafe. Because they say so.

“The Green Party leader tells Trevor Phillips that even if pro-Palestinian marches make Jewish people feel unsafe, that doesn't mean marches "actually" make them unsafe.“

copied and pasted from Sky News app. Do you think he applies that argument to Tra when they claim transgender people feel unsafe?
