How does that even “bring the institution into disrepute”?
Reasonable people (read: anti-zionists and neutral non-zionists) would argue the exact opposite.
Alas, a lifetime of pro apartheid propaganda (as in “in favor of apartheid” AND "professional apartheid apologists ") is a hell of a drug…
Summing up the essence of Israel’s Apartheid regime in a sentence…
It’s definitely both.
The West is a geopolitical, financial military and cultural conglomeration of the world’s richest countries, not a race.
And yes, Israel very much IS an example of Western colonialism. That’s what it’s been from the start and it’ll never not be.
It’s an apartheid ethnostate by design. Doesn’t get much more Western Colonialism than that.
Don’t they already? Israel and the US sure do…
Unfortunately Labour hasn’t said anything clear about their plans other than “we want to make it better”
Blairites and vague platitudes in place of concrete policy, name a more iconic duo.
It was not immediately clear when aid would enter Gaza, or how. The Israeli military body in charge of overseeing aid did not comment
So yeah… I’ll believe it when it actually happens rather than trust the word of the government that has been blatantly lying about it and related topics since its inception nearly 80 years ago.
They’ve been doing it for decades.
The likely reason why there’s been a dearth of protesting lately is that the UK government (under both conservative and Labour leadership) has been criminalizing it to the point that you risk being thrown in jail for causing any inconvenience in the process of decrying the most heinous crimes against humanity.
In their defence, there is no defined point
Where something is considered genocide? That’s simply not true.
any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
- (a) Killing members of the group;
— Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article 2
Like water, in fact 😁

The three MPs will not receive their salaries during the suspension and will not be present during next week’s annual budget debate.
There we have it. They’re making sure that Maori people won’t have representation when taking away their rights is debated again.
When it comes to blatantly deceptive quoting, removing “in this one thing” and then talking about other things is so on the nose that’s there’s no doubt left to give you the benefit of.
Be better.
The students’ demands include Columbia’s financial divestment from Zionist organizations, an academic boycott of complicit institutions, cops and ICE off campus and amnesty for all university members unfairly targeted and disciplined for pro-Palestinian actions.
Not a single one of which wouldn’t be a given in a sane and civilized modern society.
Columbia’s Public Safety officers immediately responded and violently barred protesters from leaving unless they showed identification, which created a prolonged standoff…
Because of COURSE they did!
When it comes to Apartheid regimes (and indeed most big picture stuff), student protesters are always on the right side of history and the people who derive income directly dependent on the atrocities continuing always react with the subtlety and intelligence of trying to remove a splinter with a machete.
Please do not the word.
They are state level convictions. He has no power over that
Yet. Expect that to change some time during his currently illegal third term.
But did she turn a single viral moment into a career? I would argue that publicity itself doesn’t seem to be her career, whereas activism clearly is the main thing. The way I see it, publicity is a tool she uses to enhance her activism
That’s the argument I was trying to make too, sorry if I was unclear 🙂
I have a feeling that she would have ended up being an activist with or without any viral moments
Kind of a “yes and no” kind of thing: she became an activist back when she was just an unknown 15yo who believed in something, and the “viral moments” have all been the results of effective activism (with the exception of some hilarious trolling of some prominent far right idiots), which is part of what effective activism IS: getting as many people as possible to notice and talk about the issues.
This song of theirs is fucking fantastic btw!
