"You'll see certain people, including political pundits, saying lets not be hysterical, Britain is not lurching towards authoritarianism. I don't know what else you call it, it absolutely is, & its a direct result of its support for Israels genocide"

@dianabuttu.bsky.social : "The west continues to entertain proposals(...)giving Israel the ultimate say over the future of Gaza. How is it that the country committing genocide is granted any say in the future of the people against whom it has committed genocide?"

"The most urgent task at the moment is to stop, and immediately, the genocide of the Palestinian people by the State of Israel, and to ensure that the whole world is aware of this murder, so that they will pay attention and act to stop it. "

"There is no doubt that the cultural boycott of Israel will harm not only the fascists, but also good and courageous people. So what? This is a small price to pay to end a genocide."

State commits genocide, and the plan to end it includes demilitarisation, but of the victims! The perpetrators face no accountability, pay no reparations and can keep their occupation intact, while the victims are made to live under foreign domination, seemingly in perpetuity. That is dystopian
