From an old time it was posted, apparently two stubborn males set up burrows right next to each other and neither one wants to leave. So they're having a rock spitting endurance contest until one decides it's easier to just get a new den.

I'd never heard of or seen the guy. Had to google him. I've heard of Oasis, but didn't know his name because Oasis loving blows. I can't name any members of Cold Play either.

On the subject of the thing 8chan are raiding on, the supposed Jewish backing of the slave trade is something that Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam have been banging on about for at least the past thirty years. More recently, it's one of the brainworms that has been tearing the Labour Party over here apart, because there really is no anti-semitism so insidious that people won't claim it's just criticism of Israel (see also: Ken Livingstone's theory of Genocide by Diminished Responsibility).

Of course, there were Jewish slaveholders involved in the transatlantic slave trade, but to pretend that it was a uniquely or even majority Jewish thing on any facet is, of course, complete bollocks.

I mean like even assuming that those dastardly Hebrews were the only ones shipping slaves, it's not like that would render the good Christian folk of the Americas completely innocent of every goddamn thing that happened after people got off the ships.

...I have been following stuff in U.K. politics, and I've not heard ANYTHING about Labour party members blaming the transatlantic slave trade on Jewish peoples. To be sure, there's been a lot of accusations of anti-semitism against Corbyn, which, after I've been looking at it, seems utter guff.

No see Corbyn is sympathetic towards Palestine and that is horrendously anti-Semitic.

Really? Jackie Walker is a cause celebré among the more unhinged parts of the left because she goes around the country telling people how she was “lynched” by the party for being anti-Zionist, when in actual fact she was suspended for saying that Jews were the “chief financiers” of the slave trade.

I think the truth of the matter is that Corbyn‘s wide appeal on the left meant that some crazies also joined the party, and because they’re louder on social media, anti-Semitism is seen as more of a thing that’s happening.

Like, when people start accusing anti-Zionist anarchists who hosted a seder that Corbyn attended of being in the pay of Israel for standing up against anti-Semitism, you know they’re three bob short of a pound note.

It's possible that we're talking about two different stories here but my understanding of that was that Jewdas (the anti-Zionist Jewish group whose seder Corbyn attended) were accused of anti-Semitism by pro-Israel Jewish groups, because a standard tactic amongst Zionists is to conflate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism.

Regardless of that, it's pretty disgusting that the right wing of the British press will crow against anti-Semitism one day and send people to infiltrate a private seder in the hopes of bagging some dirt on Corbyn the next.

Here's the quote from Walker, by the way, which was from a discussion about to what extent the Holocaust should justify British support for Israeli policy:

quote:

Oh yes – and I hope you feel the same towards the African holocaust? My ancestors were involved in both – on all sides as I'm sure you know, millions more Africans were killed in the African holocaust and their oppression continues today on a global scale in a way it doesn't for Jews... and many Jews (my ancestors too) were the chief financiers of the sugar and slave trade which is of course why there were so many early synagogues in the Caribbean. So who are victims and what does it mean? We are victims and perpetrators to some extent through choice. And having been a victim does not give you a right to be a perpetrator.

I think coming from a black Jewish woman does make the whole thing a bit more complex.

A couple of months ago, Jewdas organised a protest against Gilad Atzmon because he’s, you know, a Holocaust denier, and the cranks came out to castigate them.

https://twitter.com/sarahxdorman/status/1105219218495152129?s=21

Seems like an all too often occurrence that Jewish socialists are getting exiled from the movement because the cranks are throwing poo poo-fits whenever said Jewish socialists call out anti-Semitism.

Jews were still not in any sense of the word the “chief financiers” of the slave trade, and to claim so is, you know, anti-Semitism. It’s basically a microwaved Farrakhan speech.
