It's almost like Gaza Strip is not like the Warsaw Ghetto at all. It's almost like the Gaza Strip is run by a rejectionist, genocidally Jew-hating terror gang who divert all its resources to terror attacking Israel and keeping its residents in poverty. #LabourAntisemitism
The odd thing with these Western "pro-Palestinians" is how they're willing not just to overlook the suffering that Hamas brings down on innocent Palestinian heads, but also how they seem to desire it in their mission to prove Israel is the most uniquely evil state in the world.
These "pro-Palestinians" seem to forget that Hamas' immediate response to the signing of the Oslo Accords in '93 was a wave of suicide bombings killing hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians, Jew and Arab alike. These are not people interested in a peaceful two-state solution.
These "pro-Palestinians" would rather the Palestinians "resist" to their very last drop of blood because their anti-Zionist ideology is so callous, so fixed, that they would rather have a 'perfect' conflict that an imperfect practical peace that improves people's lives.
Forget "pro-Palestinians" being Jew-haters, the Orientalist racism they direct towards Palestinians and Arabs generally is probably worse. They set them apart as the 'noble savage' suffering from the 'European' Israelis (even though more than 50% of Israelis are MENA Jews).
No, Western "pro-Palestinians" will continue to remove all political agency from the Palestinian leadership & play out their White saviour Holocaust guilt psychodrama on the conflict by supporting Hamas. And directly contribute towards the conflict never being solved. Ironic.

This is McDonnell's Early Day Motion that Corbyn sponsored in 2011 to scrap Holocaust Memorial Day. Anyone reading this and having the temerity to state that the Corbyn project doesn't have a problem with Jews can literally get to hell.
Not only were and are other genocides explicitly referenced from the beginning of Holocaust Memorial Day. (The first was called Remembering Genocides: Lessons for the Future, plural) and to date, all victims of the Nazis were and are referenced. hmd.org.uk/what-is-holoca…
This motion is McDonnell, Corbyn & cronies All Lives Mattering the Holocaust and snidely implying that Jews 'hog' the genocide experience for their own purposes. This is the behaviour of Holocaust deniers and inverters. These people now run the formerly anti-racist Labour Party.
But just Jews, hey? Not a *proper* minority. They're all rich, White, straight, able-bodied, Netanyahu & Trump fanatics, amirite? I mean it's not like anyone has ever *harmed* Jews on the basis of false stereotypes about wealth, power and politics. Oh, wait... #LabourAntisemitism
The absolute state of this. Those of us who knew the Far Left, knew of Corbyn and his fellow travellers, spoke loudly in 2015. And were ignored & belittled by people looking for something *different*. And now the hate has been unleashed, still the moderates ignore & belittle us.
It's just "Zionists" they have a problem with, the moderates say. It's not really hatred. Except that Corbyn and Willsman talk of Jews behind closed doors, separate us from 'proper' English people, at the same time as maintaining we're just White people.
He said this defending Stephen Sizer, a vicar who shared articles from Neo-Nazi sites, including Israel did 9/11. Corbyn said "much distance exists between AS, AZ, and anti Israeli govt actions for that matter. Overzealous critics find it convenient to conflate them all"
And continued: "well informed individuals such as...Sizer, withstand a considerable amount of inappropriate criticism. Indeed many MPs & Peers are also attacked. I do admire the excellent work that he does & personally, I would give no credence at all to any claims that he is AS"
“In the past,in pursuit of justice for the Palestinian people & peace in Israel/Palestine, I have on occasion appeared on platforms with people whose views I completely reject. I apologise for the concerns & anxiety that this has caused”
And to @johnmcdonnellMP@PeterWillsman@jonlansman and the whole sordid lot of you spinning racist jackanapes. And of course, a particular fuck off, to Voldemort himself, Seamus Milne, without whom so much of this sorry #LabourAntisemitism situation would not be possible.
He *wouldn't appear alongside David Cameron for the Brexit referendum* because, as a Tory he was beyond the pale, but terrorists, Blood Libellers, Holocaust Deniers are just fine and fucking dandy. Fuck off.
