The Reverend Sue Parfitt, from Bristol, was detained for holding a placard that read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” She was among more than 27 people arrested on Saturday for acts of defiance against the proscription.

      The entirety of the current Government owe their jobs to Israel, as the last leader of their party - Jeremy Corbyn - was kicked out opening the way for these ones to get power after a campaign of slanders of anti-semitism backed amongst others by Israeli-linked Jewish groups in the UK which was so extreme that at one point a Jewish Holocaust Survivor was said to be an anti-semite for what he said in a conference for Palestine in order to taint Jeremy Corbyn by association, as he was sitting in the same panel in that conference and “didn’t rise up to dispute it”.

      Since Britain also has First Past The Post like the US, getting the leadership of that party was a guaranteed path to Government since that party was the next in line in the power cycle over there.

      So these people were basically bought by Israel.

          China and Russia are colonial powers, too.

          Crazy how tankies think it’s only ok if you do it to your neighbours.

            To be fair, China does it all over, especially in Africa. Russia probably would too if they could.

              The Russian Federation is de facto a Moscowite empire. And they are trying their best to annex more countries into their “Federation”.

              I don’t know if you just don’t know how conversations work, but it follows pretty reasonably. It didn’t come from no where. First someone complained about “the west” doing colonialism. Then someone corrected that all major powers do it. Finally someone points out that tankies only complain about “the west” and never China or Russia who do the same things.

      What makes you think they are backing israel only because of blackmail? They are arresting a 83 year old for opposing a genocide, our governments are shit and always have been, can’t you see it?
