A massive amount of MPs from all parties are supporters of LFI, it's not a single-party issue. There's far more LFI on the political right usually but it's not exclusive by any stretch, they're very good at hedging bets.

As for news sources, shop around. I try and pick a mix from those who lean right and left to cover all sides. The only rule I have is that if it's on youtube or any other social platform I avoid it like the plague and I nuked all my social media a few years ago so couldn't use that if I wanted to. I don't really watch TV news, it's too selective. Your mileage may vary but as a rule, I prefer to pick sources who at least are legally forced to stick to the truth unlike the massive legal grey areas that exist on 'social' news feeds.

Completely agree, Conservatives and Reform especially are just as deep into Israel.

Will definitely try to broaden my horizons for information, it seems very hard to know what to trust these days. Social media has definitely become a cess pit. I only use Facebook mainly for following MX clubs and bike events. Every time I go on there now it's filled with crap that is purely designed to shock and aggravate, it thrives on anger and hatred.

Anyway... apologies for going slightly off topic!

If you want to really rile them up, start a thread about seat bouncing 🤣

Some of the stuff that gets posted in here.

Damn.

How is some of this shit tolerated?

From "everyone who disagrees with me is a pedo" to this latest anti-Jew insanity.

No worries. The posts speak for themselves & pretty much let's us know who's who amongst the crazies.

Not sorry for judging them by THEIR actions and the things THEY say. Cope. Btw, the radical Muslims are fucking nuts too and I do not sympathize with them in any way. They are right there with the radical Zionist. So save the antisemitic bullshit. Notice how whenever they shout “that’s antisemitic” they rarely ever sue for defamation of character or anything like that. I read that as an admission of guilt.

Yeah super duper good people in Israeli govt and their leaders prior to the creation of that state. Have you forgotten about the USS Liberty? Do you know anything about the Bolshevik Revolution? Yeah they aren’t nearly as innocent and the victims they claim to be.

This isn't about being cancelled. It's the conservative right pushing back on the identity politics game being played by the left in both cases. Calling people racist or blaming a particular group are two sides of the same coin. 

There's not a contradiction here and Glenn Greenwald is a hysterical fool.

I think it’s important to distinguish between the State of Israel, the Israeli government, and Jewish people as a religion or ethnicity.

Not all Jewish people support the actions of the Israeli government, just like not all Americans support the actions of the US government. Governments and political movements should be open to criticism, but that criticism shouldn’t turn into blanket assumptions about an entire ethnic or religious group.

We should be careful about sliding from criticism of a state or its policies into broad stereotypes or collective blame. History has shown repeatedly that once people start assigning the actions of governments or powerful individuals to an entire population sharing the same identity, things can get ugly very quickly.

I agree with this but can we also educate some people on the Israeli government not being the same thing as the old testament promised land? Christianity doesn't require you to support Israeli politics. If your pastor doesn't know the difference you should find a new church.

That's a bit more difficult here because of the 'no religion' ask.  It would be difficult to make the points you are talking about without delving into theology, and that brings out a lot of heat from everyone involved.

Goin' down the rabbit hole ain't new. 

Remember when you use to get so mad at Biden supporters “you can’t make this shit up”. That’s how you are for Trump now.

If you read Greenwald's entire post you will see that the first response, MT Cicero, does nothing but prove his point.

Criticism of Israel is automatically conflated with antisemitism. They are two different things but very handy if your agenda is to silence critics of the state.
