General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

People like to dance around it because it is a touchy subject and also does not really hold much value in the discussion but the definition of Zionism is the belief that Jews are superior to other humans. AKA Jewish surpremacy. It is no different than White surprmacy or Arab surpremacy, or Han surpremacy etcetera, but because it includes the word "Jew" people do not like talking about it becuase anything associated with it is seen as anti-semitic. .

The realization of the right to national self- determination in the State of Israel is exclusive to the Jewish People.

World jewry remains largely in support of jewish supremacy (Zionism), terrorism, and extremism”

There are certainly Jews who oppose Israel, but sadly they are a vocal monitory. The majority of Jews support Israel and its genocide.

Two years after the October 7 attacks: British Jewish views on antisemitism, Israel and Jewish life

Emotional attachment to Israel has increased: 75% of British Jews feel emotionally attached, with 49% “very attached” (equivalent figures just before the October 7 attacks were 72% and 40%). Attachment varies by age and denomination.

Only a small part of mostly the younger generation of Jews (from 8 to 12%) is anti Zionist.

Zionist identification remains stable overall (64%), but anti-Zionist identification has risen from 8% in 2022 to 12% in 2025, and most notably among younger Jews.

The only part which I would call anti-semitic in her comment is her usage of the word "jewish lobby" as it no longer makes any distinction to Jews which subscribe to Zionism but directly insinuates all Jews who lobby do so for Israel. That said, the Zionist lobby identifies itself as the "Jewish lobby" so it is difficult to know what she truly means by it.

As for who she retweets is not relevant, only what she retweets.

The video has a guy quoting literally quoting the Talmud. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talmud

Do you give this same leeway to racists that do the same thing to Muslims over Muhammad and Aisha? Even when those racists are calling themselves "Der Wulf" and have a crusader as a profile picture?

If they are victims of ISIS and the UK government is supporting ISIS murdering them the last thing that would come to my mind is trying to nitpick what they repost.

Jesus fucking christ "don't uncritically promote incredibly obvious Holocaust-denying Nazis to your audience for their analysis of the Talmud" is neither a nitpick nor a bar we should be failing to clear here. She does not need DerWulf's vicious racism in order to be anti-Zionist.

I certainly do not agree with her retweet but I also do not think that is worth anything more than the deletion of the Tweet by Twitter. Not a house raid.
