"It isn’t just that people are angry that the catastrophe in Gaza isn’t being given due attention: it is that their encounters with observable reality are being flatly denied. ...
"Those people have been told that Gaza protests are hate marches; they can see it’s not true. They have been told that US campus protesters are largely motivated by antisemitism; they can see it’s not true. They have been told that Palestine Action is a terrorist organisation because it spray painted military aircraft; they can see it’s not true. They have been repeatedly told, by Benjamin Netanyahu, that opposition to Israel’s war is antisemitic; they can see it’s not true. They have been told that the British government finds Israel’s actions “intolerable”; they can see it’s not true.
"Now they are being told that opposing the IDF is antisemitic, that the Glastonbury crowd is more virulent than the one at Nuremberg, and that direct action is a form of terrorism. They can see all that’s not true, either, and however far their view is from the front pages, they know that they are far from alone."

Seems the thin-skinned #Starmer really is digging into his authoritarian tendencies. He’s now got #MetPol investigating #Kneecap and #BobVylan after their stage performances at #Glastonbury. He’s learned nothing about Irish history, or oppression anywhere in the world, or how the British State creates heroes by attempting to suppress people fighting for rights and the truth.
