always when i read postings here about the #usElections and stupid (there are others!) wannabe #leftwingers claim, that there is no #differnce between #harris and #trump, i am thinking about, how safe #german #communists, #liberals and german #jews felt on the #29.1.1933

you see yourself as a #leftist? i see you in #jail when trump wins
not to mention

#abortionrights

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.

Yuval Noah Harari backs critique of #leftist ‘indifference’ to #Hamas atrocities

The Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari has backed academics and #peace activists in his home country in an attack on the “indifference” of some American and European progressives to Hamas atrocities, accusing them of “extreme moral insensitivity” and betraying #leftwing politics.

...

Harari said that for the people in #Israel and #Gaza who “have suffered tremendously … your mind is so full of your own pain that any attempt to even draw your attention to the pain of somebody else feels like a betrayal”.

So, he said, “in a moment like this, we entrust the possibility of peace to outsiders”.

“We cannot hold it right now, but we hope that outsiders hold it for us and help de-escalate the current situation,” he said. “The job of intellectuals, artists and scholars is to try and go deeper. [It is] to try and see the complexity of reality, especially in today’s climate of post-truth. It feels intellectually and emotionally lazy to just pick a side.”

The right’s position here is the better known, the movement having aggressively dedicated itself to stripping #women of fundamental rights for decades. Thanks in part to two #SupremeCourt justices who have been credibly accused of abusive behavior toward women, #Roe v. Wade, nearly 50 years a target, has been ruthlessly overturned.
Far more bewildering has been the fringe left jumping in with its own perhaps unintentionally but effectively misogynist agenda. There was a time when campus groups and activist organizations advocated strenuously on behalf of women. Women’s rights were #humanrights and something to fight for. Though the Equal Rights Amendment was never ratified, legal scholars and advocacy groups spent years working to otherwise establish women as a protected class.
But today, a number of academics, uber-progressives, #transgender activists, civil liberties organizations and medical organizations are working toward an opposite end: to deny women their humanity, reducing them to a mix of body parts and #gender stereotypes.

Opinion | The Far Right and Far Left Agree on One Thing: Women Don’t Count

Tolerance for one group doesn’t need to mean intolerance for another.
