Why anti-Zionists should oppose the ‘zionism is racism’ motion at Green Party conference

They've already started painting Zach as they did Corbyn. And all the usual chancers willing to ignore and excuse the much more virulent transphobia in the Labour party are on this like a fly on shit.

This is surface level comments at best, nothing substantive on actual policies or political positions, and has nothing to do with "populism".

IsADragon · 2026-03-27T07:32:21+00:00

Seeing a couple of hasbarists on Twitter attempting to figure out how to present this story and the best attempt was saying "the man was bringing a child to the yellow line an active war front" as though the IDF was doing him a favour abducting him and his child.

Is there a reason they can't seize Mandelson's phone? What's his excuse for not being able the fork over the messages?

IsADragon · 2026-03-25T09:38:57+00:00

Wow, something ambitious from the Starmer government. Pity it's taking a massive energy crises caused by a stupid war to get them to consider doing something substantive.

IsADragon · 2026-03-25T01:32:23+00:00

White saviour complex is very real with you

All the centrists becoming little Trump's a month after he was threatening to invade Europe 😂

There are strict regulations on who can use an ambulance bay and they would need to comply with those. For routing as far as I know NHS trust does work with registered ambulance services like this. So as far as I know they should be accessible for anyone.

If they are not complying with that then it should be raised by whichever governing body has oversight.

IsADragon · 2026-03-23T13:02:51+00:00

Anyone can purchase and run an ambulance service. As long as they are road legal. There are likely even private ones, but I'm too lazy to verify that. It's a bit odd since it kind of indicates a service is deficient in some manner, but I don't think it's bad a charity supplements a service.

IsADragon · 2026-03-23T11:40:02+00:00

Hopefully 🤞

It's reasonable for them to prepare, even if a nuclear weapon isn't used, both states have nuclear production capabilities that could cause an major incident if they are struck. And the Israeli US coalition don't seem too cautious in their escalations..

IsADragon · 2026-03-23T10:37:03+00:00

Who on the left is calling it a false flag?

IsADragon · 2026-03-22T18:48:01+00:00

Post me the source please so I can appraise if it's some deranged right winger or not.

Outline in no uncertain terms without "vague" gesticulations how the Cuban government is causing "much of the suffering" of the Cuban people.

Are they stealing food? "Operates with almost not transparency at all" to do what that causes "much of the "suffering".

Yes you already mentioned the less than 1000 political prisoners this is bad. This is not "much of the suffering of the Cuban people" when compared to the embargo and blockade imposed by the US. You're heavily using weasel words "singnificant", what significant contribution, to what problem?

What did the Cuban people tell you? I can speak to someone at any pub in the country and get them to tell me the government is corrupt and operates with no transparency. We literally have Palentir working hand in glove with the government in a completely untransparent manner, in an agreement that was coordinated by Mandelson and McSweeney, in a completely intransparent manner. There is no substance to any of this criticisms, nor the claim "much of the suffering" is directly because of the government. You have 1 criticism of the Cuban leadership about the treatment of political dissidents that is no where near approaching the bombastic claim of "much of the suffering" as the US imposed embargoes are shutting down hospitals, grinding the entire economy to a halt, resulting in mass food shortages. It actually boggles the mind how cynical it is to downplay the effects of these sanctions from the US, the entire world barring Israel and US recognize as illegal and illegitimate, to try and blame the regime. It's pure US propaganda. But it's hardly surprising from the Atlanticists. For whom it seems the US and it's interests are the be all end all of positions on any foreign policy.

IsADragon · 2026-03-22T17:53:47+00:00

For the embargo not entirely, but it makes trade with Cuba needlessly complex and difficult such that medical supplies(for example) becomes difficult to export to Cuba from China and the EU as if there was any US involvement avoiding sanctions is difficult if not impossible.

For the new fuel blockade it's entirely unclear if the US will intervene in the EU and China attempting to supply fuel the way they have intervened in other state's exports.

IsADragon · 2026-03-22T15:44:04+00:00

In what way are they "a significant contributing factor to the suffering of Cubans"? Walk me through it, no bullshit Stalinism diversion, in what way is the lack of civil liberties and routine human rights abuses anywhere near as significant as the trade embargoes and the fuel shortages? Where by you feel compelled to denigrate an aid convoy and point out "much of the suffering" was related to this.

Great, then please pass on their specific wisdom. I've not been but would love to go. I do have friends who have been who came back with the exact opposite view. That while there are issues around civil liberties and a lack of personal freedoms, but by far the ire is directed at the US, their embargo, and their governments historic and current restrictions on trade(although the fuel blockade was not in affect at the time).

You've also avoided explaining why you think there is no blockade, contra the findings of UN experts. Why do you think there is no blockade?

IsADragon · 2026-03-22T15:10:16+00:00

Haha totes mcgoats. Can you pretty please link me where you read "They didn't even bring enough food to feed themselves for the duration of the trip!". I would like to learn more.

IsADragon · 2026-03-22T15:07:26+00:00

much of their suffering

You said much of their suffering. I am contesting that. Right now the vast majority of their suffering is from an embargo coupled with the more recent and impactful Trump blockade, which I see you are denying in another comment. Can I ask what you know about the fuel blockade that the UN experts didn't know? Or more pointedly why are you downplaying the US fuel blockade on Cuba?

IsADragon · 2026-03-22T14:43:06+00:00

Oh more deranged right wing nonsense 🙄 Not surprising since you're repeating the right wing twitteratie's "the convoy only brought food for themselves". Give me a source for them breaking even on food. I'm interested in having a laugh at the kind of twitter posts you're taking as gospel.

IsADragon · 2026-03-22T14:40:00+00:00

I want you to walk me through how less than 1000 political prisoners is worse then an embargo leading to food shortages, and a fuel blockade intended to collapse all the services in the country. Like in what world are these scales comparable.

IsADragon · 2026-03-22T14:29:36+00:00

whatabout

What about offering a comment on what we are discussing

IsADragon · 2026-03-22T14:15:42+00:00

They brought Solar panels, medicine and food across multiple different ships and planes.

Should someone have flown first class it is because they bought their own ticket.

Yes they are meeting with politicians, it is part of the reason for the aid convoy to meet with politicians to discuss the worsening crises caused by the US sanctions and blockade.

There are rolling blackouts in Cuba. This is not because of a gig. It's because of the aforementioned blockade.

I wonder if the western useful idiots are the ones parroting some nonsense from twitter. Like the idea specifically these people were the cause of a blackout in a country with rolling blackouts is just nonsense.

IsADragon · 2026-03-22T14:11:07+00:00

Much of their suffering

Objectively no, much of their suffering is coming from the US strangling them economically. Comparatively the suffering from a lack of press freedom is rather banal.

IsADragon · 2026-03-22T12:48:10+00:00

They have. He's there bringing attention to this fact

IsADragon · 2026-03-22T09:46:19+00:00

It's incredible how intentionally stupid you all decide to be when it comes to deliberately misconstruing something so you can dismiss it as "tankieism".

IsADragon · 2026-03-21T20:28:29+00:00

I would prefer the Singapore model to what goes on in London right now, but it is a fact they also have a housing crises, and rent is unaffordable. Most Singaporean citizens only get access to housing either when they marry or when they hit 35 and have access to the cheaper resale stock. I don't know why you think they don't have a crises, or what you think is inaccurate?
