Ah. Both-sidesing genocide yet again, I see.

You’ve been crying genocide since the 12 Oct 2023 - less than 5 days after Oct 7 attack. You are not a serious person pic.twitter.com/Njvkzq8IB0

"You were EVEN saying October 7th does not justify genocide RIGHT AFTER OCTOBER 7TH" is not the flex either of you think it is. Indeed, the fact that you both honestly seem to think it's some kind of Gotcha may be getting us to the nub of the issue. Opposing genocide...

...consistently rather than as a luxury extra is pretty much the only option for a serious person.

Essentially the position Jenny is outlining here, and that Stew is clearly supporting, is that in the immediate aftermath of October 7th Israel had the right to withhold electricity, water and fuel from the entire civilian population of Gaza, in other words that it had the right to commit acts of genocide, unless Hamas released the hostages. That, of course, was also the position of Keir Starmer at the time, but the penny subsequently dropped for Starmer that he had made an openly genocidal statement. He later pretended that he hadn't said it or had misunderstood the question.
No such penny seems to have dropped for Stew - or if it has, it doesn't seem to have made the slightest difference to him. He still seems to believe that genocidal tactics such as starvation were a proportionate and reasonable response to October 7th. Perhaps his nickname should be "Starve Them Stew".
I suppose Mr Campbell is a great supporter of Trump, Putin, Netanyahu and Xi. Tough powerful men hanging out together. Inspirational.
ReplyDeleteThrough an Indy lens, practical question is: how to bring WoS readers over from his blog to reliably pro Indy ones like WGD or here
ReplyDeleteWGD is pro SNP not pro Indy.
DeleteWoS is pro Farage not pro Indy.
DeleteThe regulars on WOS can stay there. I don’t want them anywhere near the Indy movement. Keeping them contained on the WOS forum is the one useful thing the fake rev does, albeit it’s an unintended consequence.
DeleteAnon 11.27 SNP is pro-Indy(except to dafties like IfS)
DeleteTBH, anyone on WoS who still supports that genocide excusing right wing piece of garbage, I would not want anywhere near me.
ReplyDeleteThey are people Scotland could well do without.
WOS has been grotesque for quite a long time now. Could its hard core operate within the real world of putting the indy case in SNP branch meetings and motivating YES groups to co-ordinated activity ?
ReplyDeletePerhaps they're better left in their dark, bleak 'coal hole' while
the rest of us try to get on with it. A few will probably find their way out of the cult eventually.
Priti Patel says we are now under the jurisdiction of a foreign court.
ReplyDeleteWe are under the jurisdiction of a foreign court. It’s called the UK ( English) Supreme Court.
I think the Campbell cult will, almost certainly, defect to Reform, if most haven't already done so.
ReplyDeleteThey are nothing more than a dwindling bunch of hard core right wingers who now only exist to attack anything they see as progressive.
Clowns like that are just an unwelcome pollutant in the Yes movement.
Flush them.
