This is not necessarily an incorrect view. These trends are not great!

Since March, the Israeli military has flattened vast areas of Rafah. The area that is being destroyed corresponds to a reported new ‘aid distribution area’ between the Morag and Philadelphi Corridors. frames.forensic-architecture.org/gaza/updates...

This is all too typical for the deep polarisation on this issue. Apparently every incident makes the Jewish diaspora less likely to accept criticism of Israel, and more committed to its defence. There is no way to repair the resultant divide.

There was never a time, when identity was not weaponised, and there is no harmonious society to rebuild.

🚨 working paper (w. @morganlcj.bsky.social @markuswagner.bsky.social): Protesters are not judged equally - even if tactics of groups are similar. We ran an experiment in 🇩🇪 testing how people react to farmers vs. climate activists blocking roads. What we find is disturbing: osf.io/preprints/os...

But, if you ask them whether a non-English-speaking African Muslim immigrant is "British", almost all will say no. Easy to manipulate = unreliable results.

It is reasonable to criticise the Jewish religion, primarily because of its territorial claims on behalf of the Jewish people, which created a favourable emotional climate for the later Zionist movement. That criticism is not an 'attack'.

The Jewish people has a legal right to self-determination, but that right is established by treaty, and can be revoked. Given the death toll that resulted from Israel's establishment, it is reasonable to revoke it, and Jewish institutions have no veto on such political demands.

Mainstream politicians like to claim, that right-wing voters are happy with 'good immigrants' - integrated, educated, skills. In reality, a substantial group emphatically wants to throw them all out, all of them, even if the service and health sectors collapse.

The kids won't remember but many liberals justified the Iraq war on humanitarian grounds - and denounced those who didn't as lacking in, well, humanitarianism, and you can predict precisely where all these people are on the humanitarian issue of the moment

How then, are we to criticise Zionism or Israel or Jews, without ever making anyone feel unwelcome?

Any core belief of "Jews qua Jews' is not exempt from moral judgement. Even if all Jews hold that the Earth is flat, and take that to be the essence of Judaism, we can still legitimately say that they are wrong.

Elon's efforts to alter the algorithm of his AI to suit his needs appears to have completely broken Grok, as it currently cannot stop talking about "white genocide" www.wired.com/story/grok-w...

'Ordinary people', 'hard-working people', 'ordinary families' and similar terms, all refer to the presumed core electorate - the 'white working class' in Britain, and its equivalent in other countries.

The German left continues to lose itself in endless discussions about the correct definition of antisemitism, mainly because they are terrified of being called antisemitic. They care more about their media image, than the slaughter in Gaza.

Humans have very large numbers of ancestors, who lived in many regions, and certainly all over Eurasia, so that ancestry confers no residence rights for any modern state or territory.

Jews do not have the right to "build a nation". There is no such right in international law, and no accepted definition of 'nation-building'.

apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"

The white working class is neither multi-ethnic nor multicultural, and its members' nationalist and xenophobic attitudes are entirely their own responsibility.

Neither neoliberalism, nor community decline, nor local austerity, made the British white working class hostile to immigrants. That achievement is all their own.

There is no understanding of the contemporary radical right in western Europe without considering the guilt of the white working class, but this article tries to absolve them.

Many political scientists don't take sovereign citizens seriously, but the self-styled 'Kingdom of Germany' shows that they capable of creating parallel quasi-state organisations, which could threaten an existing state in times of crisis.

Revoking the Jewish people's right to self-determination is only possible at international level, by amending a treaty (ICCPR). That cannot constitute a legalisation of genocide, which is prohibited by another treaty. Much pro-Israel propaganda appeals to unfounded slogans.
