The belief that Israel’s actions amount to apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide are “worthy of respect in a democratic society”, an employment tribunal has concluded in a landmark decision.

    The problem of anti Zionism is that those of us who oppose apartheid ethnostates regularly have to stay alert less those who just hate Jews claim to be with us

      Although, some racists love Israel. Pro-Israel groups pay Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, a notorious racist in England, and while he hates immigrants (despite being the descendants of Irish immigrants) he specifically supports Israel.

        Any idea behind ethnostates invariably feel dangerously fascist.

        “This land only welcomes X and anyone who isn’t X should leave” - where X can be whites, blacks, jews, latins, arabs, japanese, whatever. Ethnic purity is stupid.

      The only way to equate Israel with the Jewish Religion is to be a Racist - it requires one to believe that “Jews are all the same” hence they are all represented by Israel. This is expecially Racist given that there are many Jews who are openly critical of Israel, its actions and even its existence - it doesn’t get much more obviously Racist than when non-Jews claim to know better who represents All Jews than actual people who are Jews.

      This is how you spot the Racists: not just the obvious ones but also the kind that playacts as anti-Racist whilst in practice, as I pointed out, holding extremelly prejudiced views viewing, judging and treating other human beings as “etnic group members” rather than people.

      In my personal experience Britain is riddled with Racist thinking, but a lot of it was disguised as “support of good races” (only they didn’t carefully avoided the word “race”), except when it came to Muslims as discrimination against them has long been treated as acceptable.
