Well that's good you support their fight against Israel. I'd be too afraid to go against all those zealots with all that American military hardware and id guess you would too.

Should Palestines be taking security measures when being slaughtered by a vile genocidal racist fascist ethnostate?

Completely agree, charity is a symptom of something wrong in a society. If something needs support and is worthwhile (and you assume charities are for worthwhile causes), why as a society is it not being done?

If you look at a lot of charities throughout history, it's almost like they're really there for the powerful to play with their pets ..

Internally in the UK, the BBC brought in quota to hire more right wing comedians after it was found they aren't funny

This was by Tim Davie the director general, a very generous Tory donor

The BBC has been fully captured and the stuff that comes out of it is as biased as any of the right wing media outlets (which is pretty all major outlets now), but done in a plummy(1) way that seems to get past a lot of peoples bullshit detention

Two birds with one stone

Semitic is race. Judaism is a religion. Religion is a cultural phenomenon. Zionism is intrinsically linked to the religion and historically has been an incredibly fanatic cult very willing to do anything to reach their final goals. I think hatred of this is far removed from any kind of racism.

E: and the conflation of Zionism with Judaism is something I see consistently coming from zionists, so it being being deemed a trait of anti Semitism doesn't make sense to me for several reasons. I'm an atheist though so generally have no respect for fairytales that send people psychotic...

Yep, or "IDF causes muderous mayhem in unprovoked slaughter of more than 100 innocent civilians waiting for humanitarian aid." Even a bit of alliteration, news outlets love that.

explaining “wallpaper” to the currents in the ocean…

If this isn't just a saying I haven't heard of, I'm doing my best to make it a common place phrase, absolutely perfect in this context!
