  1. Robinson is just doing what the BBC allows him to do.

    The State broadcaster allows an extreme right Pro-Zionist Tory to spout the line that the overwhelmingly Pro-Zionist UK Govt and UK Media want him to spout.

    They know that they have already lost most of the UK public on this (by all available polling) and are now frantically trying to ignore that fact and browbeat that same public into agreeing with their Pro-Zionist views.

    But it isn't working and the more frantic they become, the more they will alienate the public.

    Unsurprising to see Campbell yet again on the Zionist-Fascist side of the argument.

    Him and his small cult of followers are now so far gone that they are simply not worth bothering about.

    Trash

  2. My old man recounts the summary execution of british soldiers, Arabs diplomat and peacekeepers by the Stern Gang / Irgun in the 40's. They were extreme right wingers and some became the leaders of the new state of Israel. It seems some of their progeny are still in charge and hold the same extremist views.

  3. Polanski will find himself increasingly shunned by the entryists in his own party. He'll be demonised and marginalised just like Kate Forbes was by the trans activists in the SNP.
    If the pro Palestinian cause is apparently so important to the UK public why do activists need to hijack a completely separate political movement to get their message across?
    Labour will be so glad these tiresome bampots left when Corbyn got the boot.

  4. In what sickening perverted world does being against an ongoing genocide in Gaza in which around 30,000 completely innocent children/babies have already been slaughtered, make you a "bampot'?

  5. Robinson used deliberately doctored extracts from an interview with A S which completely changed its meaning. The BBC promoted it. That says all that needs to be said about Robinson and the BBC. In my opinion Robinson is a liar and an apologist for Genocide. The BBC are the same.

  8. Polanski is coming round to accepting that the disastrous motion on Zionism was misguided, and accepts that he ought to have been vocal in his opposition to it passing unamended. His rejected amendment sought to minimise the damage to the reputation of the Greens that has followed. The usual halfwits on here have of course been waxing lyrical about the ridiculous definition of Zionism and the one state solution the Greens now support on paper. Hopefully he can get the adopted definition amended in due course. The halfwits referred to above needn’t bother commenting on this post. It is so far above your pay grade. Until the definition is amended the Greens are open to accusations of anti semitism. I think there is a real risk that the minute grouping of anti semites that previously attached themselves to Labour have jumped across to the Greens. The Greens have to be careful. The murderous genocidal State of Israel and the equally evil IDF should be the target of criticism and action. Student politics and anti semitism should form no part of the policies of the Greens. Ditch it and ditch the definition.

    1. The UK Green Party is not the first institution to recognise zionism as racism. In 1973, in Resolution 3151 G, the UNGA condemned what it called an “unholy alliance” between South African racism and zionism. Two years later, the World Conference of the International Women’s Year adopted a principle that “international co-operation and peace require…the elimination of colonialism and neo-colonialism, foreign occupation, zionism, apartheid, and racial discrimination in all its forms.” A month after that, the Organisation of African Unity, predecessor to the African Union, declared “that the racist regime in occupied Palestine and the racist regime in Zimbabwe and South Africa have a common imperialist origin, forming a whole and having the same racist structure.” The Non-Aligned Movement went further, condemning “zionism as a threat to world peace and security” and calling “upon all countries to oppose this racist and imperialist ideology.” We find all of the above in the preamble to Resolution 3379, adopted by the UNGA in 1975, which determined in a pointedly simple phrase, “that zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination.” To the world’s majority, zionism has always been racist, sitting alongside the racist and apartheid structures of Rhodesia and South Africa.

    2. Did you not read the amendment proposed by Polanski and his comments? And do you not realise that you quote authority that distinguishes between racism.and Zionism? And of course, you have a definition of Zionism that not everyone shares. As I said, the Greens need to ditch the student politics. The miniscule percentage of greens who have caused this damage have a lot to answer for but I suspect they do not care. They would rather sit on their very high horse (as they see it) than be involved in running a country.There is a real world out there. In that real world a two state solution needs to be found.

  9. When you have a choice of Sudanese (the ones with the biggest genocides), Palestinians, Burmese, Congolese, Kashmiri, Ukrainians (the ones with the most dead?), Yemeni (dead heat with the Ukrainians?), etc, why do the Palestinians get chosen as imaginary pets and the others pretty much get totally ignored? Serious question - because that attitude is real and very prevalent.

  10. Why do some morons get very upset when the Gaza Genocide by the Fascist Racist Apartheid Zionist State of Israel gets 'more' coverage than other similar atrocities in the Western Press?

    The solution is not to question the coverage and human empathy given to the Palestians in Gaza, but to encourage and demand that those other atrocities get matching coverage in the Western Media.

    It is a matter of inherent humanity to empathise with the victims of Genocide wherever it occurs and to try and criticise decent human beings for doing exactly that, rather than criticise and expose those responsible for such acts, is both reprehensible and beneath contempt.

    1. You're very good at personal abuse and anger. Try calming down a bit. You'll get no sympathy for your cause if your opening gambit is hostility.

    2. Those who attempt to pit one Genocide against another in relation to how much coverage and human empathy is given to each, deserve all the abuse they get.

      They are stinking human trash.

  12. It is a fake post trying to stir up ‘civil unrest’ in Scotland, mmm? Wonder which party could be behind that? All we need is 51% support for independence, that is called a majority and democracy!

    1. Yes 51% would obviously be a majority. It’s getting a referendum that’s the big problem though, and it’s very difficult to see a route to one anytime soon.

  13. Good timing by the SNP as John Swinney is set to make a speech at the SNP conference next weekend. I was speaking to an SNP member who says he is scheduled to make a speech in which he presents a package of measures to deal with the various criticisms of government policy and to set out a clear path forward.

    1. John Swinney is likely to focus on the domestic agenda, including building up policies to address cost of living.

  15. Yet another attempt on WOS to flog the long dead horse of trying to prosecute N S. More whipped up outrage from the mouthfrothers and more money for Stuey boy. Kerrching. Why doesn't Stuey use some of the money to do a law degree. He certainly needs one. That would possibly stop him churning out his embarrassing ignorance soaked drivel.
