To put in perspective the UK's new crackdown on a largely non-existent antisemitism problem in schools, remember that more than 2,000 young British Jews are believed to have headed off to Israel to help its military commit genocide in Gaza.
The government has done nothing to stop them going. Meanwhile, British police have been repeatedly handed details of potential war crimes suspects but so far have failed to investigate, arrest or charge any of them.
Powell, the UK’s education secretary, has told Sky News: “I don’t think that our schools should be a place where it’s about making protests and statements about geopolitical events around the world.”
And yet only a year ago her predecessor, Bridget Phillipson, who set up the Bell review, was filmed in British classrooms with primary schoolchildren waving Ukrainian flags.
Despite Powell’s new prohibition, many Jewish pupils will continue to be encouraged by their schools to identify strongly with the foreign state of Israel – a state almost permanently mired, in the worst possible way, in “geopolitical events”.
If it is important for British children to identify with and support Ukraine’s white children through their suffering, why is it not possible – why is it antisemitism – for British children to similarly identify with and support the brown children of Gaza as they go through far greater suffering?
It is hard to imagine an answer that is not racist to its core.
Whatever the government claims, these double standards are not driven by principle. They are not about antisemitism. This is about protecting Israel.
Burnham entered office apologising for how his predecessor, Starmer, “got it wrong” at the outset of Israel’s slaughter in Gaza.
But his government is now doubling down on what Labour got equally wrong in the years leading up to the genocide – when it dedicated its energies to crushing the section of the party led by Corbyn that was warning of Israel’s deeply racist character and of what it was likely to do to the Palestinians.
The gencoide has vindicated Corbyn and the left in the most horrifying manner possible.
No matter. As with the current attacks on Zack Polanski of the Greens, none of this is really about antisemitism. It is about Israel.
It is about the British establishment and the billionaire class protecting their interests both in the war industries Israel is so central to and in the oil-rich Middle East, where Israel acts as the West’s attack dog.
This is about crushing dissent to prop up a crumbling western political order, led by a greedy, belligerent narcissist in the White House, as it is afflicted by collapse on every front: economic, environmental, political and social.
Dissatisfaction and unrest are growing. Violence is simmering. Bullying children into saluting the Israeli flag will not halt the decline. It simply underscores how much the “liberal” western order has lost the plot.

I was in court WITH Jeffrey Epstein for three days before he died and with his survivors reading their victim's impact statements. I KNOW what they have on Trump. There were 1700 photos of underage young people on the walls confiscated by the FBI. There were hard drives. WHERE ARE THEY?
More massive protests in France on Halloween.
The Socialist revolution is not going away.
People have had enough of billionaires, lets turn them all back into millionaires.
The reason that everyone under 65 cannot really appreciate the magnitude both economically and socially of Thatcher's destruction, is because they weren't there before it.
They cannot appreciate how low State owned bills were and the service received.
French 🇫🇷 Senator EXPOSED Trump indirectly like no one else did 🔥
He said: "A handful of drug addicts and alcoholics have seized power in US, whenever something regarding the Epstein case is published, they bómb a corner of the world" 🔥
KIMMEL: "Has he commented on your appearance, your physique? He's a little boy crazy lately."
NEWSOM: "He does have a bit of a fixation with, forgive me, people's asses. But the only ass I care about is the one we're going to kick on Tuesday: Donald Trump's."
Boom.
And why exactly do the police deserve any support from the public?
They need reminding of the purpose of the role they undertook and more over they are PERSONALLY laible for everything they do and what they fail to do.
If I was this CHILD's dad that copper would be in court!
Combover Caligula spends his life humiliating people over their appearance, calling them ugly, fat and stupid. Meanwhile, he’s hiding a fucking landing strip of a bald spot under that dead ferret on his head.
So whatever you do, DO NOT FUCKING RETWEET THIS.
Patrick Stewart was a socialist.
Glenda Jackson was a socialist.
George Orwell was a socialist.
Albert Einstein was a socialist.
Nelson Mandela was a socialist.
Nazis were NOT socialist, Musk is a liar, and he spreads Nazi propaganda.
BREAKING: 🇧🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸 Former Mossad operative got Bolsonaro out of Brazil, per CNN
Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro fled Brazil with his wife and two daughters in a coordinated international operation involving assistance from a former Mossad operative, Argentina, and the U.S.
The family crossed into Argentina on October 27 in two separate vans through the Tancredo Neves Bridge.
A former Mossad operative, now a naturalized U.S. citizen, accompanied Bolsonaro during the escape, while officials linked to Argentine President Javier Milei assisted the operation.
The family subsequently boarded a private Gulfstream jet, stopped in Ecuador, and arrived in Miami on October 28. The private jet was arranged by Trump adviser Jason Miller.
Everyone in the West needs to be super vigilant.
There's a high chance that the United States and Israel are planning a high profile, false flag terrorist attack.
Innocent Westerners will be murdered to justify an attack on Iranian civilians.
Be careful out there...
The BBC says they give Reform wall-to-wall coverage ‘because of their position in opinion polls’.
Presumably they’ll now very significantly reduce the platforming given that Reform is tanking in the polls? I hope Zia Yusuf hasn’t been booked too far ahead for Question Time?
Please RT this until Burnham's Labour Govt finally lift Yvette Cooper's proscription which results in thousands of good people arrested as terrorists just for holding placards.
Thank you.
Nothing is shocking any more…
Israel buried alive everyone who was on this truck.

🇮🇹 Tens of thousands of workers, students, truckers and farmers marched in more than 40 Italian cities on Friday in a general strike against soaring living costs, rearmament and European support for wars in the Middle East, including the genocide in Gaza, according to Italian news agency Adnkronos.
Police counted 30,000 in Milan, where marchers shut down the eastern ring road for three hours, while organizers claimed over 100,000, according to Italian broadcaster TGCom24. A speaker in Turin put the crowd there at more than 50,000. The grassroots union USB, which called the strike, claimed 2 million nationwide showed up to challenge Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's "war economy."
Protesters blocked the port in Genoa with burning tires, TGCom24 reported, and marched into Naples port, demanding that ports not be used to move "weapons, ammunition, military equipment and troops." In Rome, police charged about 300 students who threw stones and Molotov cocktails. At least 10 officers were injured in Mestre and Vicenza, according to Adnkronos.
Transport Minister Matteo Salvini had ordered rail, air, sea and transit workers to stay on the job, but the order was dismissed by USB as "illegitimate."
