I’m an elderly lefty, living in South West England, watching in horror as the world descends into a potentially unimaginable abyss at the hands of a small cabal of equally elderly (mostly) white men! I grieve for my children & grandchildren who will inherit a planet I’ve been helping, albeit minutely, to destroy! When I’m not “doom scrolling” I enjoy gardening, bird watching, bread baking & being the best granddad I can be.

“Will the Greens go anti-Zionist? A motion to conference proposes just that”
by David Miller in Tracking Power Update on Substack
@uk_politics
“The Zionists use law fare to enforce submission to their politics and ideology and crush resistance to genocide in their precious colony. We can and must engage in counter-lawfare. Here is an encouraging sign that comrades are getting on with the business of creating and expanding a British Anti-Zionist Movement”

“If deradicalisation means dismantling the ideological acceptance of civilian harm, then the project does not begin in Gaza.
It begins with the state that has normalised that harm.
And we know exactly who
the BARBARIAN is”

Report: Mike Huckabee says Israel is well within its rights to seize all the land between the Euphrates & Nile Rivers (spanning five countries).
This "Greater Israel" project has been espoused by Netanyahu & other senior Israeli officials.
Huckabee, an avowed Zionist, has long insisted the land "was given by God to the Jewish people."

“What the Jewish Left Doesn’t Need is Advice that It has No Responsibility for What Zionism and Israel Has Done In Their Name”
by veteran UK socialist and anti-Zionist campaigner Tony Greenstein on Substack
@palestine@fedibird.com
@Palestine@masto.ai
@palestine@lemmy.ml
“At a time when US and Western Imperialism is using Jewish people as its human shield, its moral alibi for support of the genocide in Gaza, to pretend that solidarity with the Palestinians and opposition to Zionism should be deprioritised is to do exactly what the Zionists want us to do.
It is to argue that Jews should become the bystanders to the slaughter in Gaza”

Seriously informative interview on:
* how central Epstein was to the Zionist project
* the UN's choice not to defy Israel
Epstein was a powerful, unofficial, Jewish-supremacist "ambassador" for Israel.
Among his projects, Epstein helped shape the Oslo & Abraham Accords to eradicate Palestinian rights from the process - which became "peace without justice".
Craig Mokhiber is a fearless former UN insider.

TikTok US’s new CEO, Adam Presser, described its moderation policies:
“The use of the term ‘Zionist’ [is] a proxy for... hate speech."
It's fine to use ‘Zionist' as a proud Zionist, "but if you’re... calling somebody a Zionist as a dirty name, then that gets designated as hate speech to be moderated against.”
"Jewish organizations are constantly feeding us intelligence & information when they spot violative trends.”

Specifically, it is essential that we know whether the Mastodon server covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant) adopts the IHRA’s Working Definition of Antisemitism (https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definition-antisemitism) – which conflates antisemitism with criticism of Israel – or the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism (https://jerusalemdeclaration.org) – which does not. (Or some other declaration that I’m not myself aware of or had discussed with the mastodon.social team.)

Quoting
@Mastodon@mastodon.social This is a link to the server covenant:
https://joinmastodon.org/covenant
One important question – and one we’ve discussed together – is which definition of antisemitism are you going with? I’d appreciate it if you could state the decision you’ve reached on this publicly. Crucially, is it one that conflates opposition to Zionism, Israel, and the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people with being bigoted against Jewish people or not? This is key in knowing whether only Zionist, pro-Israel, pro-genocide Mastodon servers will be featured in recommendations or not.
