What a joke: the non-Jews telling the Jew what Zionism is & isn’t. The ignorant arrogance is astonishing
🇬🇧 “Is it now the Labour position that a genocide is not racist?”
Green Party leader Zack Polanski confronted Conservative and Labour politicians at the London Assembly on Thursday after Conservative Susan Hall introduced a motion condemning the Greens’ decision to define Zionism as racism.
Hall called the Green Party’s position “abhorrent” and argued it threatened Jewish Londoners.
Polanski, who is Jewish, accused Hall of weaponizing antisemitism and challenged Labour members over their government’s continued military support for Israel amid the genocide in Gaza.
The Assembly passed Hall’s motion 19–3, with just the three Green members voting against it.

🔴'Here are two CAREER #politicians who have never built a business that had to survive on its own. Their entire adult lives have been spent inside politics - drawing salaries, climbing political ladders, and spending other people’s money - without ever running a business, making a payroll, or answering to a customer who could simply walk away.' - @JamesMelville

It is critical that everyone understand this: the issue of highly enriched uranium is a goalpost that the neocon & Israeli lobby echo chamber will keep moving until we physically go into Iran to “take it”. The actual goal is to force a ground invasion and/or never-ending air strikes.
Even when we bomb & obliterate all of Iran’s HEU, as we did w/Op midnight hammer, the lobby insists we have to go get the “nuclear dust,” creating the circumstances for more strikes and/or that prized boots-on-the-ground op.
The U.S. intelligence community assessed that Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon. The entire premise of chasing “nuclear dust” was—and remains—bait to draw us into Israel’s war.
Fuck, we have a new problem. The Neocons have a new pitch to Trump: 'The only way to fix the damage the Iran war has done to your legacy is to force them to give up their highly enriched uranium.'
They're spamming him with this stupid new idea, undermining Vance's efforts to reach a diplomatic solution
What they leave out of their pitch is that Iran will NEVER give up their uranium to Trump, as it's their only bargaining chip, and giving it up is an irreversible step, while Trump's conscessions (lifting the blockade and sanctions) are easily reversible
And needless to say, the Iranians do not trust Trump, or the U.S.

“This and everything across the BBC is made possible because we’re funded by you. Thank you.” #DefundtheBBC
It’s hard to grasp the BBC’s systematic attempt to launder Israeli propaganda until you see the sheer scale of it. Here's a compilation of them doing it at 2x speed.
The latest was on Newsnight on 4 November. When Bernie Sanders called Israel’s government extremist, Victoria Derbyshire answered for it: “And the Israeli government would deny that they are extremists.”
As this video shows, BBC presenters repeatedly do this as guests describe Israel’s crimes: “Israel would say.” “Israel would deny.” “They would reject that.”
We counted 70 of these denials and justifications in 52 aired interviews. The BBC calls this impartiality. But in not one of those 52 did a presenter raise any of these words from Israel’s own leaders:
- “We are fighting human animals.” Yoav Gallant, 9 October 2023
- “It is an entire nation out there that is responsible.” Isaac Herzog, 12 October 2023
- “They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world.” Israel Katz, 13 October 2023
- “Remember what Amalek did to you.” Benjamin Netanyahu, 3 November 2023
- Starving two million people in Gaza until the hostages came back might be “justified and moral”. Bezalel Smotrich, 5 August 2024
On 10 October 2023, Tahani Mustafa told the BBC that Israeli forces were not distinguishing civilians from fighters. The presenter replied: “They would reject that.” Mustafa then had to bring up Gallant’s “human animals” herself. The BBC supplied the denial. The guest had to supply Israel’s own words.
That is cherry-picking. The Royal Charter requires the BBC to be impartial, and the public pays for it through the licence fee. In these interviews, it handed its audience Israel’s denials and left out its leaders’ own words, during a genocide streamed live to the world.
We have archived the BBC’s coverage for three years, and we are now counting all of it: 50,000 video clips and many more written excerpts.
We are calling this first part: "BBC: The Would Say Files".
Handing Israel its denials is only one of the ways the BBC launders Israeli propaganda, so we will count every other technique too. Over the next few weeks, we will announce each milestone as we complete the report.
These are the first results, with every clip, quote and source: newscord.org/editorials/bbc-…

British Army training fails to recognise the changed face of war – Video
Instead of focusing on drone defences, elite soldiers of the British Army are using a winter camp in Estonia to battle “cold feet” and practice the completely outdated bayonet stab.
How ridiculous!

Let’s do the actual math of the imperial supply chain.
Take a mother working in a garment factory in Bangladesh.
She works a 12-hour shift.
During that shift, she sews more than 150-200 t-shirts for H&M.
Her pay for the entire day? Less than 5 dollars.
Now look at the other end of the ledger.
H&M takes those exact same shirts and sells them to European consumers for more than 20 Euros each.
That is over 4,000 Euros in retail value. Generated by her hands. In a single day.
Her cut is less than a fraction of a percent. The rest goes straight to shareholders in Stockholm.
What is the human cost of this math?
This mother spends 12 hours away from her child. She works until her body gives out. And she goes home to a wage that barely covers the bare minimum food to share with her family at the dinner table.
This is what Western "free trade" actually looks like on the ground.
The European consumer gets cheap fashion. The corporate boardroom gets record dividends. The Bangladeshi mother gets starvation.
H&M runs massive ad campaigns in Europe talking about "conscious" fashion and "sustainability."
But there is absolutely nothing sustainable about a system that requires a mother to sacrifice her child's childhood just to keep the company's profit margins intact.
This is why the factories are shutting down.
They aren't just striking for a few extra cents. They are striking for the right to actually sit at the dinner table with their kids.
All power to the striking workers of Bangladesh.
They are hitting the empire right in the ledger.

It's mindboggling that Tusk dared to invite German troops to Poland, and it's mindboggling that Germans dared to send troops to Poland!
"Mr. Tusk! To Poles, you're a German, and to Germans, you're nobody"
