Cake sale solidarity.

Prestigious Science Institute in Meltdown Over ‘Alleged Peaceful’ Palestine Cake Sale | Novara Media

A bizarre tale of censorship, hypocrisy and home baking.

At the Crick institute in London some staff organised a bake a cake sale for Gaza with money raised going to MAP Medical Aid for Palestinians.

HR then got complaints that the cake sale had made them feel "unsafe"

Further sales were banned by the mge

The Director of Crick institute waded in with email to staff suggesting that any further cakes sales should be to fund a "neutral" charity.

The word Palestinian in MAP was the problem.

Same director of Crick hadn't been "neutral " on Ukraine. Holding forth with long article on the Crick website

Doesn't really suprise me. Any support for Palestinians in Gaza makes one suspect. Ukraine a different matter.

It's about whiteness as a political concept and the white privilege that stems from it. Hence, the reason why Ukraine is seen by some as a more worthy cause.

They’re out almost every time on Market Street with their anti-Semitic nonsense. Conflating settler colonialism with the Shoah.

So tell me, hot stuff. What would you do if you saw that kind of thing?

You're out of order with this.

Hmmm, mysterious disappearing post. Have we had another visit from that person who likes getting banned a lot? I did spend a while today mentally drafting a response while bored at work, but if the post's vanished then I suppose there's no point.
