Private schooling for a wealthy minority is the cause of so many problems in our society, media & politics.
Like Finland, kids should be educated in government funded & supervised schools, eating free school meals together to build shared values, understanding & citizenship.

I would, very much, like to deny Israel the right to implement a racist apartheid genocidal state, predicated on the forced displacement of the indigenous population.
Yes.

The right for a Jew to be able to self determine their own future in their ancestral home, the birthplace of Judaism is not racist
If you think otherwise, and want to deny Jews that right , you’re racist
It’s that simple

I don’t know, it seems to me the kids may have been right about their ruling class being full of very racist, misogynist sex offenders. Perhaps that whole Cancel Culture panic was badly wrong, and apologies are in order? Not least because it was obviously vexatious *at the time*.

Excellent visual summary of my last report on MEDIA and Genocide
▶️Israel has tried all it could to eliminate professional reporting from/on Gaza: through propaganda, censorship, influencers
▶️Western media has often been Israel's house organ:for habit, convenience or just racism

There was no response form @robertshrimsley to this.
That's because there isn't an answer.
Antisemitism is a real evil
AND
There is an international campaign to weaponise it to shut down opposition to a Western ally's crimes.
That's not happening with other forms of racism!

You're not responding to a point I made?
I said antisemitism is both a real and monstrous evil, and it is cynically weaponised to shut down opposition to what a consensus of genocide scholars consider to be genocide.
That is what is different. There is not an internationally orchestrated campaign to use anti-Black racism to shut down scrutiny of a key Western ally, with mass deplatformings, sackings, arrests, imprisonment and even deportation as a consequence.
You're not bothering to rebut this because there isn't a rebuttal. It is the obvious difference.
The answer, of course, is to take action against actual antisemitism and not to shut down discussion of Israel's crimes.
That includes defending a strict demarcation between Israel and its crimes, and the Jewish people as a whole. The trashing of this demarcation is driving antisemitism. That should be obvious. But both antisemites and Israel's cheerleaders both push this conflation.
The government's report promotes the implementation of IHRA in schools. IHRA has been rolled out in universities and has been used to target opposition to Israel. The same is clearly going to happen in schools.
Perhaps you could try and engage with these points? What is the rebuttal?

The Labour Party in the process of ensuring that anyone who cares about Palestine—let alone knows that Zionism is about denying Palestinians their rights, not just the ideal of a Jewish homeland, as this falsely claims—will not vote, even tactically, for it in the next election.

It is beyond ridiculous that this man is still a life peer and retains the Labour whip.

Okay, let’s do this Stephen: there’s no smoke without fire, the fish rots from the head. Let’s have an utterly ruthless inquiry into the BBC’s hate. Drag in executives, journos, presenters and really give them The Treatment at full late 2023 intensity. That would be clarifying.

Neither This Government, or the Mainstream media consider this Racist.. But if you are revolted by it, well, you're obviously an Antisemite, an Extremist, or something something..

This is Zionism
This is the moment Channel 4 News Foreign Affairs Correspondent Secunder Kermani was charged at by a group of Israeli settlers in the Occupied West Bank.
The settlers have laid siege to a Palestinian home, while nearby Israeli soldiers keep watch but do not intervene.
Violent attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank have risen dramatically over the past two years, while Israel's government has approved a record number of new settlements.

Our petition for a public inquiry into Britain’s role in Gaza has hit 10,000 signatures.
Now, let’s get it to 100,000 to force a debate.
The public deserves to know the full scale of Britain’s complicity in genocide.

Israel’s zionist extremists are committing a systematic genocide and hellbent on ethnic cleansing
Andy Burnham’s racist ‘Labour’ government continues to arm, provide fighter jet parts, military and political support to this criminal Israeli state
It is complicit in genocide

McSweeney Labour tested this proposition to destruction and beyond with ceaseless upsucking to reactionary voters who hate them and will never vote for them. The result: they got banjoed at the council elections then dropped Starmer in a river like he was an incriminating weapon.

In Britain, the establishment liberal position is that it’s racist to describe Zionism, a Racist ideology, as racist, and if you say that it is, clearly, racist, then some of the most racist people in the country will accuse you of being a racist.

Over the weekend I have been taking ever deeper dives into Sir David Bell's “Independent” Review into Antisemitism in Schools and Colleges.
There is zero doubt in my mind that this sloppy, misleading, and inaccurate report is contribution to a systemic, legal, and institutional dismantling of any support for Palestine, or any education and discussion about Palestinian history and existence within the UK education system.

Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1
