The problem with the #Israel government shouting #Antisemitism at everything they don't like, is that when the real thing comes along, it can go unnoticed. Sadly, many #Palestine supporters and other #left folk dismiss any charge of antisemitism rather than engaging with the problem.
Accusing #Netanyahu of committing #war crimes is not antisemitic. However, the events targeting the Jewish community in #UEA over the past year were clearly antisemitic, and culminated this week in the abduction and murder of a young rabbi.

“Tax the Rich” EU initiative agony
The formal proposal that would have imposed EU to discuss the initiative is about to be abandoned, having obtained only ~1/3 of the necessary votes across Europe, while only some days are left now.
The complicated voting system result at this moment, at this time, is quite original (see the figure) as we discover both German and French people did strongly support (countries in black) while some neigbors generally considered poorer didn’t reach this level -maybe due to unsufficient awareness?
If you are (very) optimistic you still can go and add your vote (try recruiting followers outside France and Germany!) but really we literally have only days left now…
(even if probably useless, doing this is really interesting to learn the way it works -and there are many other proposed initiatives ongoing that may please you too)

A #bully believes that because he was beaten up by someone stronger, it's only fair that he gets to beat up someone weaker. A compassionate person believes no one should ever get beaten up. This is the true difference between #right and #left mindsets.
There is another type of right that believes that if everyone just left each other alone and let them do their own thing then everyone would do the right thing. A realist knows that someone will always have a lucky advantage over others and begin to aquire more power than others and use that power to rig the system against others. The only through collective feelings own ownership and community can we police each other to keep each other's worst tendencies at bay.
People on the right believe that only fear prevents laziness, and believe the left is naive that letting everyone have a basic floor of protection/safety net will ensure that people will use it as a hammock and be lazy. The left actually knows that "laziness" is a myth. A mix of depression caused by manufactured want, the lack of desire to work for someone else without merit, and psychological exhaustion of having to constantly grind just to survive. They use the bolshevic agrarian coops as their example where everyone got paid the same no matter how hard they worked oblivious to everyone else under communism who got paid more after their quota was filled and were no lazier than people in capitalist nations. The most productive people are those who work for themselves or have ownership in the outcome of success. A healthy brain is not lazy, only one exhausted and abused by the powerful beating them up become lazy because they see no true freedom.
There is a final kind of right is one that believes that those with power are superior, and therefore more ethical. Either through divine right or intellectual merit, they deserve that power so it shouldn't be questioned because they know better than us. A left mind knows that power corrupts absolutely and isolates the powerful from reality and suffering of others. They are the least to be trusted, and the less imbalance of power and the more collective power weilded, the less bullies are able to exist in the first place to pass along their toxic ideas.

Terrified by Hamas red triangle, German House votes on banning symbol
"Germany's House of Representatives voted in favor of banning the use of the red inverted triangle used by the al-Qassam Brigades, #Hamas' military wing, in its videos"
"...opposition parties, the #Greens, #Left, and #AfD, did not support the application"
What else are they going to ban in Germany? Res heart? The V sign?
Breathing?

Need a Sunday #leftist read? Try this German #communist in-depth critique of #antisemitism on the #left.
"As critical communists who are active in the international radical left and are part
of alliances and campaigns, we see the need to take a stand on the current anti-
Semitic fervour within the German and global left. The criticism of anti-Semitism
within the left, which was still much more present at the beginning of the century,
seems to have faded away. We want to take this as an opportunity to criticise
these current developments within the left and explain why we consider an
ideology-critical, anti-authoritarian and anti-national left to be necessary. At the
same time, we are experiencing a pretended form of combating anti-Semitism
and solidarity with Israel by state bodies and parts of the ‘majority society’, which
are full of instrumentalisation and even open racism. We would also like to
comment on this.
However, it is not our intention in this statement to analyse individual Islamist
structures, give military tactical advice or suggest an adequate solution for the
conflict. We are aware that the space in which the current anti-Semitic fervour is
spreading is also a reaction to the war waged by the Israeli army in Gaza. This
has cost the lives of tens of thousands of people, including many civilians, and
destroyed large parts of the region. We mourn the dead and stand in solidarity
with the suffering population of Gaza. For an emancipatory left, it is also
necessary to support those structures in Gaza that are fighting for the prospect
of a good and self-determined life and against Hamas' reign of terror and
reactionary images of society, for example by campaigning for their rights as
workers, women or queers. ..."
A #leftist #Labour member is blocked from standing. Another leftist Labour party MP is prevented from running for re-election following a complaint about something 8 years ago. The complaint just happened to come just in time to prevent him from running. The #purge of the #left continues, no doubt orchestrated by Kier #Starmer's henchmen.

"whites decided amongst themselves that what their nations needed was less whites? Of course it wasn't the whites that initiated this #agenda. It was a faction of the minorities already present in the #white-nations and a #global #movement lead by a few white #multi-billionaires, backed up by their #NGO front companies, the #UN, #China, and the #fanatics on both the #left and the #right.
Whites are Christians, and many Christians have a guilt complex. When drilled down upon, it is due to their belief in original sin. Ask any Catholic about their deep-seated guilt. Guilt can be played and turned to other purposes. This is the door that the enemies of the west opened and once inside they unleashed their poisonous rhetoric on the white nations. They got in through the white nation's Christian tendency to feel guilty and the need to repent and make amends for any imagined transgression.
It was a perfectly played ploy. For most European Countries it is already too late. Most white nations of the past will not survive this onslaught. The #white #race will be #displaced and divested of both power and territory. They will become The New Jews of the New World Order.
I don't think there is anything that can be done about it either anymore."
