If Russia is banned for its war of aggression and atrocities against civilians in Ukraine, Israel should be banned for its genocide in Gaza.

Do we think these long years of all-channels terror from the most hateful people in the country about menacing ethnic criminals and transgender people is a separate issue from wealthy men being very publicly exposed as creeps, harassers and rapists? Or do we think it is part of the same phenomenon.

It is a serious problem for our political discourse that the most consistently astute commentator in the country is someone posting anonymously on social media behind a rat avatar.
June 2016 here. Do you notice how this has been proven correct: there really is no way to appease the reactionary right, who take every concession to their fucknut demands as a new base camp to strike out for more and nastier?

I'll say it again. Our horror at the Gaza genocide and at the atrocity in Manchester comes in both cases from the same, inherent part of our shared humanity. We need to assert that shared humanity in the face of both these evils as loudly as possible, and in as many practical ways as we can.
