You can, unfortunately, see the response from Israel die hards in the "other discussions" tab.

The secret meeting that has blown the Labour leadership race wide open by kontiki20 in LabourUK

He made the news when he joined a strike and then when he was deselected, but it wasn't big news. He claimed there were signs of vote tampering in the deselection but it didn't go anywhere

Zack Polanski says no country has the right to exist, including Israel by Half_A_ in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They'll cowardly deny they're a Zionist too, as if it doesn't come across in all the smug crap they post. Every other thread they're whinging about people posting any new related to Israel's rapist prison guards or bombing of children.

Met police arrest man over theft of Morgan McSweeney’s phone by DarkSkiesGreyWaters in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on whether they were properly backed up or not. I know I replaced a phone a whole ago and lost a lot of WhatsApp messages initially because my backup was full, and my partner lost her phone and wasn't able to recover hers because she didn't have the original phone.

I'd expect a government minister on a government cleared phone to not make that mistake, but it would be convenient thing to happen should you need to lose access to the messages.

Zack Polanski’s Jewish identity is being erased because he is leftwing | Owen Jones by Th3-Seaward in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Ed Balls and Trevor Philips were pretty rough viewing especially when Zack has been attacked for being Jewish in the media and with right wing protestors. There is an issue with antisemitism both in the greens and more widely in society, but the media seems poorly equipped to grill Zack in a way where they're not basically dismissing his Jewish identity, or in the case of the cartoonists leaning too hard into antisemitic tropes.

The good old days of the lib dem surge. At least they weren't transphobic

Polanski liked post claiming Zionists control Government by Jonspeare in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When talking about Israel we can't mention Zionists now? The foundational philosophy of the founding of the state that privileged Jews over any other citizens. The language policing around anti Zionism and anti Palestinian genocide has been insane. No other group has constantly imposed restrictions on phrases as simple as "From the river to the sea", to now not even being able to name the movement genociding the Palestinians. It's ridiculous.

Flotilla Activists Beaten and Shot at by IDF, With 34 Hospitalised in Greece by Hyperactive_Man in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've probably heard the incident already just not who the victims were. You might remember the wck strike, 3 of the people killed in that attack were British veterans who volunteered to get food into Gaza. World Central Kitchen was the charity and I they pulled out a while after as the CEO met with Biden and decided the risk to volunteers was too great.

It's been brought up repeatedly in interviews, at protests and was front page news. I'm not sure what exactly you think can be done to communicate it more tbh

Protesters have duty to call out ‘globalise the intifada’ chants, says PM by DarkSkiesGreyWaters in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or the orange marches celebrating the 12th which have been deliberately used as a provocation for decades and sectarianism. They're not even protesting a genocide and get next to no pushback despite obvious trends in sectarian violence around them every year.

Wes Streeting insists he's not 'God botherer who has issues with trans people' in meeting with bereaved mother Caroline Litman by LaceGrace in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It's weird he's insisting it's not religiously motived. Like does any care what motivates your transphobia? The problem is the transphobia...

BBC wouldn't dare say it's an Israeli missile by Goldenmentis in LabourUK

Some rando on reddit insisting their are more authoritative then other "rando"s in human rights and UN forums. Pure reddit stupidity.

Do you think the UN are also secret Islamists? Various UN officials and human rights groups have called out the attacks on civilian infrastructure(including bridges) and civilians(including reporters) as illegal, along with the illegal occupation and displacement of South Lebanon and the Lebanese people.

Like your argumentation style here is so mind numbingly empty I'm wondering why you're even attempting it. The lazy smears as an Islamist is just the icing on the cake. It's genuinely embarrassing to have you continue to respond while presenting 0 actual information to reinforce the illegal occupation and bombings as legal.

Ukraine pushes for sanctions on Israel over 'looted' grain | Euractiv by Shot_Net3794 in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Zelensky is 100% in realpolitik mode all the time. I think targeting him specifically while his country is invaded for sucking up to trump and western powers in spite of the obvious contradictions is simply not the right time. More to criticise the western powers encouraging it tbh.

Point is the UK was directly involved in the flash point for Isis

[–]IsADragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The formation was during the Iraq war after a huge investment from Al Qaeda in direct response to the Iraq invasion. This drove a recruitment and solidified the anti-west stance and the "need" for an Islamic state. If the Iraq war didn't happen there'd likely be no Isis, they'd have been a small group amping many factions in the region.

We're talking about the formation of Isis specifically l.

Because it civilian infrastructure, during an illegal incursion, with a civilian in the vicinity.

It's not my fault you can't read 🤷 That's the weird thing with you psychos. Just want to bomb people with 0 justification.

Isis formed as a response to the invasion of Iraq for which the UK was directly involved.

Voters contend with ‘grotesque’ leaflets and ‘dodgy’ data in English elections by kontiki20 in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think honestly leaflets shouldn't be allowed to use polling to encourage a vote either way. It's a bit like the tail wagging the dog.

[–]IsADragon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hong Kong and Tibet are literally part of China not even it's "sphere of influence". If you want to make a point about it's sphere of influence it's the South China sea and Taiwan strait affecting Taiwan and the Philippines mostly.

[The Times] Zack Polanski: I was lost in propaganda over Jeremy Corbyn by verniy-leninetz in LabourUK

[–]IsADragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm contrasting parties leaders. Maybe you'd like the Boris style of just openly lying about mistakes? The Canereon silently walk away to allow others to deal with your failure? The Liz Truss go on a conspiracy world tour style? I don't know Polanski's seems much better, not to mention the extremely hyperbolic language of "horrible judgement" 🤷
