And folks say the US is backwards! 🤣 What a joke the UK is.
I don’t know what it is about Israel that has made politicians the world over lose their minds.
Europe ia still controlled by racism and neocolonialism
Of course, but, Europe also has a long history of being antisemitic. It just seems weird to me to fall over yourself for an ally that doesn’t seem especially valuable. Maybe there is some 4d chess that is lost to a peasant like me.
It is convenient. By claiming unwavering support for Israel you can distract from your own antisemitism and blame it on brown people. This comes in especially useful to ramp up racism against the very same people you blame for your own antisemitism.
Israel plays along in this game, as they profit both from racism against brown people letting them get away with more crimes as well as profiting from cases of antisemitism, as it allows Israel to claim it is needed for Jewish safety.
Which recent Europeen leaders and major parties has antisemitism policies?
How do you define recent?
Let’s say last 25 years
By your definition of recent, I don’t know if I could. Of course, I don’t really agree that 25 years or even 30 years constitutes recent, and my ability to name a specific policy in that time frame doesn’t erase nearly 2 thousand years of Anti-semitism in the hearts (and sometimes law) of Europeans.
learn the term PEP
Progressive Except Palestine.
they are all nice and progressive but as soon as Palestine comes out, they flip flop or go full right wing and change sides.
That doesn’t explain why though.
lobbying.
they support the more leftist lobbied options.
The turd doesn’t fall far from the ass
At least this is just one group of palestine supporters. In the US you get deported for any sign of support for palestine.
