  1. On a related note, I'm tired of the cliched retort to people explaining how Israel is committing genocide that goes "Oh, I don't remember you condemning Hamas after 7 October!"

    Like, right, yeah, because it went without saying.

    I get that some folk might enjoy winding people up by refusing to condemn obviously heinous things even when prompted, but that's because there's something wrong with them. It doesn't mean the rest of us have to wear badges saying "I condemn X, Y and Z".

    In 1996 I didn't go round telling people I condemned the Dunblane massacre, lest they somehow thought I was a big fan of it.

  2. Can someone help me with this #GreenParty motion? The title is obviously about #Zionism being #racism. Fine. I'd never looked into it before, but it does sound racist by any normal definition.

    But what strikes me as much more important is that the motion also "supports the establishment of a single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic #Palestine." Yes, really, it says that.

    What would that actually mean for #Israel and its people, in practice? In what reality is the end of Israel – even just in name – a remotely tenable or even a desirable component of a lasting solution?
