There is not a single political party or mass movement in Palestine that advocates for this idea. Or in Israel for that matter.
A British politician making such statement is doing imperialism pure and simple. Giving up on an independent Palestinian state is for Palestinians to decide on. Not you.

Her inability to come to terms with basic facts does not mark her as a stupid person.
Her bullish charge into topics she not only knows nothing about- but doesn't care to know about- does.

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

Hope this is the start of something magical for the Premiership but history always suggests otherwise. Would be a great thing for Scottish football as a whole.

I do think this sort of open, gutter racism becoming normal enough that they feel comfortable saying it on TV is probably the most damning indictment of the last 5 years.

Lam believes her policy would deport all of the proportion in pink - keeping the thin group in black - of the post-2021 legal migrant arrivals. (The draft legislation proposes similar thresholds/rules for all past grants too). She says jar is 3.5m people: an astonishing scale of mass deportations

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

Indeed. One of the consequences is that MPs and journalists who still consider themselves centre-right now discuss unilaterally revoking settlement rights and deporting people on a mass scale as if this a normal policy option like tax cuts or bus spending.
A lot that could be said about this but if you look on Twitter it’s noticeable that the replies and quote tweets are *overwhelmingly* telling him he shouldn’t have apologised and even attacking him for doing so. That’s the feedback loop certain users are plugged into now, and it has consequences.

Something I find striking about Zach Polanski is how - unlike the vast majority of those who played a key role in Corbynism - his politics are so clearly not rooted in any kind of deeper analysis or intellectual tradition. It's all just a surface-level synthesis of 2010s left-wing slogans and memes.

Still can't get my head around Polanski's defence on *that* interview being 'i didn't ACTUALLY believe it, it was merely a confidence trick for anorexic girls' and thinking that's better somehow
