It's fairly simply.
It's Because Starmer for years has purposely and maliciously weaponised anti-semitism to reach his political objectives - including through expelling numerous Jewish members that don't unequivocally toe the pro Israeli party line.
I posted this in another thread about CBD but it might help someone
Other than the standard advice of dark room, not too much caffeine, good bedroom temp, no screens before bed, the following might be useful.
Deep breathing. Keeping your mouth closed, inhale quietly through your nose while...
Let's also not pretend Israeli war crimes and brutal occupation started in the last few weeks. A framing that you see on nearly all UK media interviews. Israel has been allowed to break international law for decades.
Recent leaked intelligence (potentially deliberate) detailing an Israeli plan to continue the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians
Apologies if already posted.
There were also Jewish groups and individuals on every march in London.
They will be labelled the "wrong sort" of Jews and smeared as anti-semites. A tactic frivolously employed by the Labour right / right wingers to anyone sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians
To add - what is the appropriate Palestinian response to being subjugated, murdered, harassed and imprisoned over a period of decades.
A useful exercise is to imagine your own street whether it be in Brighton, Portslade, Hove etc subject to those conditions.

March on Saturday was really well attended with estimated attendance ranging from above 100k (Sky news) to 300k (organisers).

Miserable weather but will be joining.
Starts at Marble Arch at 12.pm for any London Seagulls interested

This is an unfortunate and reprehensible tactic - unfortunately used spuriously but effectively against many left leaning Labour members over the last few years
Indeed, but if someone is confident that you were not the perpetrator you would think that they would not go out of the way not to purposefully manufacture or utilise fake material. On the assumption it was fake - it seems an odd strategy although saying that Israel has plenty of previous in...
He was in the UK touring in March this year (South Bank). Looked into him a bit more and apparently hes a former heart surgeon and a good friend of Jon Stewart (ex Daily Show). Two v smart guys who use humour to convey their message.
