mass murder with no discernible endgame unless,that is,completion of the project of 1948.So depressing that this is what Starmer is advocating for and so reminiscent of the stunned astonishment we felt when Blair threw us into war with Iraq.

I will ALWAYS look at Reagan in the light of Gil Scott-Heron's B Movie. Sorry, but that can't be shifted now.

Looked up Andy McDonald and he comes across as a decent hard working MP
He fell foul of Starmer due to this:
en.m.wikipedia.org
This might help explain why he's been targeted.
Starmer is quite vindictive.
He's also got "form" on supporting Palestinian rights. Which makes him a marked man as well.

Piece on the Ch4 news tonight about Palestinians being forced out of their homes in the west bank. What have Sunak, Cruella, Starmer, Biden, etc got to say about this?

Matt Frei's interview with a family on eviction watch quite moving i thought.Earlier i had been watching an interview with a Palestinian academic dreaming aloud of a lasting peace and political settlement which would follow upon the return of the Palestinian diaspora to their abandoned villages( in modern day Israel).Seemed a distant prospect i must say.Piece on the Ch4 news tonight about Palestinians being forced out of their homes in the west bank.

There is a lot of shaping of Palestinian solidarity marchers going on. Shaping them up for a good kicking and nicking.
If they are minded to, I speculate that they will send in snatch squads into future crowds to arrest whoever (they said Jihad) knowing this will cause alarm and disarray and pushback and a big row. It’s the same old playbook

Thanks for this. Just watched it.
The on the ground report of Palestinian villagers in fear and leaving due to settler violence was very good. As was the questioning by the reporter on the roof top in Ramallah of two leading Palestinians. Plus the surreal interview with the Israeli Knesset member. Who lived in a parallel universe where everything would be ok on West Bank if it wasn't for Hamas "cells" and that he objected to term extremist settlers.
Ive following Al Jazeera on this until now.
It was when it went back to C4 studio I saw the difference. The head of PSC being repeatedly asked if he supported Israel right to exist. Was chanting to the river to the sea anti semitic.
Head of PSC response, which I thought was a good one, was that Israel did not have right to exist as an Apartheid State. That to be free meant in that context Palestinians no longer having to live under military rule / second class citizens/ or in open prison of Gaza. He still got asked the same question despite giving a cogent answer. Get the feeling that saying State of Israel is an Apartheid state is not supposed to be part of the answer.
The journalist in Ramallah was interviewing two mainstream Palestinians. The journalist said as he went around West Bank he felt that Hamas had a lot of support. They agreed. The disappointment of peace process had led to increase of view amongst ordinary Palestinians that Israel only understands the language of force. And its Hamas who are doing this. Which correlates with previous article I posted up about why Hamas gets support. They reckoned if elections were held Hamas would get a lot of seats. It would be even with Fatah/ PLO
Excellent reporters on the ground in C4.

Be very surprised if they don't kick something off to try to undermine the support the Palestinians are receiving.

That is certainly the language the Home Secretary (and the wider government) is trying to use, but all I would say there is that she / they've done nothing legislatively or in policy terms to bring any of that about. They've not even rescinded their directives around the recording of non hate crime incidents which could be very relevant here.

Re the marches.
As they are big and PSC are doing a great job in organizing frequent marches the pushback I think is on the propaganda front.
Keep bringing up the minority of placards etc which are problematic/ keep saying they are Hate marches/ Go on and on about the From the River to the Sea chant, keep asking people whether they think Israel has a right to exist.
Its the drip drip accusations and painting of the marches as people screaming hate. Fuelling division.
Do this enough and some of it sticks.

i recall hearing of Paris summer 68, where le flic were kept in their suffocating vans for hours with only cases of police supplied cheeky red vin de table to keep them company until it was time to let them loose. The met are probably putting in a big order for red bull and vodka in anticipation of the big days ahead

Must be very frustrating for Home secretary and Met that these demonstrators are so peaceful. Include a lot of families. Keep on the route and generally behave themselves.
So the Met and Home Secretary have to resort to post demo arrests by scouring footage for the miniscule number of problematic placards and chants.

These have been the most peaceful and well behaved marches I've ever been on.

Saw this on Novara Media.
An elected politician and minister in government calling for Israel to have sanctions, arms embargo and Netanyahu to put up for war crimes.
How refreshing and how unlikely to happen here.
Ione Belarra leader of Podemos and Minister of Social Rights.
Bastini puts forward that a major reason for getting rid of Corbyn and Starmers push to get rid of anyone remotely sharing same politics is that the establishment didn't want someone like that near foreign policy. Starmer has brought it back to we will wait to see what Biden decides and then follow.
So in UK end up with two main parties basically agreeing with each other and any other voices pushed into the wilderness. Except on this Joe Public are making themselves heard.
Really cheered me up listening to her.
