The definition of antisemitism has been diluted yet further. I guess Palestinians aren't considered Semitic people anymore? Though to be fair, I guess they lost that definition when they stopped being classed as people.

This stuff is starting to feel incredibly dangerous.

UK public opinion skews towards sympathy for Palestine over Israel in the conflict, towards disapproval of Israeli settlements in Gaza and the West Bank, and in favour of the recognition of Palestinian independence. Support for a free Palestine obviously isn't anti-semitic in the first place, but it's not even a radical or fringe position. (With 8% favourability, Bibi is only slightly more popular in the UK than Putin.)

But we've somehow ended up with a political class that is, at times, helplessly beholden to the Will of the People, but at other times very happy to loudly impose the unpopular position of uncritical support for the actions of a widely-disliked foreign government.

When you read the article it does seem like the mum is entirely in the right here, and I do love to hear about a bad school administration getting told off.

To be honest I’m finding the Israel Palestine thing enormously frustrating. What the gently caress do you think people do when you deny them basic human rights and space to live for generations? They certainly shouldn’t massacre civilians but you can’t be shocked when they do and I don’t see why everyone on the telly is pretending this is in any way not the exact same thing any person who’s grown up in prison would do upon meeting the guards and their families.

The purpose of people on the telly is to reinforce existing power structures. That means cheering when our allies do bad poo poo and booing when our opponents do bad poo poo. Every UK presenter knows without being told what line they have to take in Israel/ Palestine if they want to keep their jobs.

Die Satan!
We regret to inform...

quote:

A mother who claimed her son’s school made him eat a tuna sandwich instead of a hot meal because he ‘took his time’ on the toilet has admitted the story wasn’t true.

Stacy Jarvis, 31, publicly accused the school of forcing Jayden, nine, to go all day ‘without food’ because he doesn’t like tuna.

But she has now backtracked and admitted her son was in fact offered a hot meal before he turned down the sandwich.

Mum-of-four Stacy claims she didn’t know Jayden was actually offered a Shepherd’s Pie first during lunch time at Thanet Primary School before he refused.

She claims she only found out the truth after the story broke when her son’s headteacher wrote her a letter.

The head said Stacy ‘knew full well’ Jayden had been offered Shepherd’s Pie first when she decided to go to the press.

Stacy maintains that she was not told this by anyone at the school before the letter came on Monday.

Prior to to the article posted above, I’d have said yes but children can be weird about food and the correct answer to ‘I don’t like that food though’ isn’t ‘well starve then’. Now my answers the same cos shepherds pie is rubbish.

There was a quote on today's Chapo from journo Mohammad Alsaafin that I thought was bonkers:

quote:

"One thing that stood out to me, watching some of the footage the Hamas fighters filmed of themselves is that- I think a lot of people don't comprehend this- as much as Israel controls every aspect of, I think, Gaza, most people in Gaza have never seen an Israeli. Right? That's something crazy to think about. When we think about dystopian future where we're talking about people being warehoused or ghettoized. You know?

...

We're talking about an entire generation of people who only know Israel through airstrikes, through the limitations on their physical freedom at the borders, sniper fire, and the fact that whether they get sick, whether they can't get a job, whether they can't go abroad to get an education. All of that is determined by a faceless bureaucrat behind a high-tech fence.

And so, these fighters who entered the Israeli military bases and killed Israeli soldiers and then moved onto Israeli towns, and then were interacting with Israelis in their homes, this genuinely was the first time they'd seen an Israeli, you know? It's absolutely mind-blowing to think about."

It’s good OP, you’ll enjoy it. Let me know if you’d like any recs for food and drink in the area, or other fun things (there’s an Engels statue that’s quite cool that might be a suitable thematic expedition).

I was thinking about this and it's not that dumb. Anyone trying to watch a clip is going to be wondering why Starmer is covered in glitter, so any news covering it is going to have to include the clip of it being thrown, Starmer rebooting, and the guy shouting his manifesto (or at least that seems to have been his intent before being tackled).

But also, I visited both the Engels statue and the People's History Museum a couple months ago and they were booth very cool.

The museum was a little pokey, but the union banners display was class. (Was cool seeing the blessing of the banners parade in Ken Loachs new film as well).

The statue I just stumbled across because we were going to a play in that nice theatre space right next to it (to see a pretty cool musical called The Faggots and Their Friends Between Wartime)

The science museum was a load of crap though.


Overall- Manchester cool, much better than London in many ways

I'm hopefully going there again in a few days time and will take some time out to appreciate bees and statues of people who aren't the usual genocide men.

I still need to see the Henrietta Lacks statue in Bristol, which was installed as a direct reaction to the handwringing about the racism man statue that got removed by being chucked in the proper channel.

That’s cool, if a somewhat random choice for Bristol. No Black UK women to make a statue of? Still, one statue is better than no statues.

I worked with HeLa cells when I was a cell biologist. Those things are a mess. Poor her :(
