Starmer is a disgrace to the Labour movewment. His support for, and attempts to justify Israeli war crimes is making a mockery of Labour's great history.
Jackie, money increasingly talks across the board in politics - whether it's the Israel lobby, City of London, Wall Street, Big Pharma, private healthcare and insurance companies, the military industrial complex, Big Agriculture.... Western politicians have been captured by corporate and special interests which is why the will of the people is continually ignored. I could have said, and have said before, "Follow the money" - it comes down to the same thing.
I'm partly Jewish and am fully aware of what antisemitism is - Arabs are semites - and what antizionism is. I am against zionism, an ideology that inevitably leads to an apartheid state and to denigrating and suppressing those who are not Jewish. Since 1948, the Palestinians have been murdered, brutalised and pushed from their historic lands. Now they are being exterminated. Many prominent Jews around the world have spoken out against Israel's genocide. The powerful Israel lobbies in the US and UK have muzzled the politicians. There's no other explanation for their shameful complicity.

I don’t like the subhead Money Talks - I think that speaks to anti Semitic tropes. Anti Semitism does exist - it’s a real thing

The distinction is really important and clear but the two are constantly conflated to shut down criticism or even discussion
