I do not much give a fuck who said what to whom in nineteen dickety-two, and it IMO has absolutely no relevance to questions like “should countries we have sentimental attachments to get a special Get Out Of Crimes Against Humanity Free Card”. No: censure, sanctions, arrest, jail.

“International censure, sanctions and prison for war crimes” is not at all controversial for e.g. Russian or Syrian leaders, nor was it for Slobodan Milosevic or Saddam Hussein, and these leaders have committed war crimes every bit as egregious as any of these infamous criminal scumbags.

No doubt, and this is why it makes sense to focus on absolutely undeniable facts like “there is no such thing as a good and defensible genocide” and “national leaders who attack entire civilian populations with the intent to destroy them as a people are monstrous criminals”.

A clear, coherent, exposition which fits the facts. Zionism is racist in ideology, racist in practice.

North Korea has nukes, Iran has neither.
If nukes were the issue why isn't the US bombing North Korea. The only reason the US is bombing Iran is because they have been sucked in with Israel.

It is incredibly telling, to me at least, how Cameron and May were more progressive on trans rights, and yet even those areas of recognition are being rolled back/completely destroyed by Labour, yet trans and non-binary individuals are ignored, talked over, and told to shut up and support Labour.
Please don't forget about us trans people. Facing the worst attack on our rights in this country due to Labour's current transphobia.

Crucially, the exact same pattern would have been implemented, by design, if the Zionist movement had opted for Uganda, Libya, or any other territory under its consideration instead of Palestine. It is this which distinguishes Zionism from most (but not all) other nationalisms.

Israel could not have developed as a Zionist state without the systematic application of structural racism against its non-Jewish citizens and the enforcement of apartheid regimes against Arab populations beyond its initial boundaries that would come under its control in subsequent decades.
