Labour leader frontrunners Keir Starmer and Rebecca Long-Bailey are currently capitulating to the Board of Deputies of British Jews, a right-wing organization that supported Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and that regularly condones the mass murder of Palestinians.
Such cowardice. The hope, for Britain to become a nation of peace and justice, that came with Corbyn's leadership, seems to truly be dead.
The antisemitism smear campaign against Labour was successful. We failed to resist it. We let the racist, right-wing weaponisers win. The absurd, Orwellian lie that there was an antisemitism ‘crisis’ under Corbyn - the first ever truly anti-racist leader of the party - is now an ‘official truth’.
The stats/facts don’t matter. Up is down. The campaign by racists to smear anti-racists as racist worked.
There is little hope for the planet, until we manage to take control of the narrative, from the handful of billionaires/corporations who own the media and our politicians, and who peddle ridiculous propaganda narratives like this constantly.
All victims of western capitalism/imperialism around the world, from Palestine to Venezuela, need us to keep trying.
I’ll still probably going to vote for Rebecca Long-Bailet (presuming I’m not suspended just for writing this!), but ugh it’s all very sad.
