Forget the oranges, Israel's largest exports are now political repression, political corruption and authoritarianism. The money they have invested in politicians and the media are paying huge dividends!

I support Zionism without qualification”.– Keir Starmer, statement to Jewish News, February 2020

We were given fair warning, but could not have guessed the extreme nature of his Zionism. We could not have guessed that he would select a cabinet stuffed with paid Israeli assets. All is now clear.

Ooops, another "technical issue". We already know the IDF is the most barbaric in the world, but now it turns out it's the most incompetent. Killing 20,000 children is some fuck up!

Good job they weren't peacefully protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza. They would have been battered, beaten and arrested by Kier's boot-boys!

what a fucking disgrace. with a labour party like this, you really don’t need tories or reform
Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

Hell's teeth, a proper journalist daring to do what proper journalists used to do! Good work, Lewis!

The implications make me deeply uneasy, and deeply suspicious!

This really is worth reading.

Being a red Tory is bad, but being pro-genocide, pro- ethnic cleansing is infinitely worse. You have blood on your hands and that blood stains everything you touch. You and the pro-genocide, pro- Zionist cabal leading Labour Party have stained its reputation and that stain will never be erased. Scum

German politicians clearly believe they can atone for one genocide by participating in another! Germany is one of the biggest arms exporter to Israel.

Israel's biggest export to the rest of the world is authoritarianism!

So, the arch cheer-leader for extreme Zionism, genocide and ethnic cleansing has the temerity to use the term 'moral imperative'! 'Oh brave new world with such people in it!'.
