that the problem of antisemitism in their movements has been deliberately exaggerated by their enemies for political gain. taken from Tension and dissent: inside the Green party’s antisemitism struggle | Green party | The Guardian
I am about to jump into the fire with very little capital behind me, but my need to see things from both sides is paramount to my soul. Yesterday I signed up to the Green Party, it took a week to work out of course but as the hostilities mounted up against Zack Polanski my anger started to form.
The GP has many faults, notwithstanding their long and lengthy debates or discussions about everything.
"the background of the party’s near-continual and often tortuously decentralised process of developing policy"
Many of them are sincere people and your neighbours and friends. They want a better world for both the planet and the people, so the so called red/green nature of their cause, the socialism/environmentalism has a somewhat uneasy feel, I think even in the party itself, a juxtaposition of unease. In fact what happens in the established parties that fight to govern us is exactly the same.
This of course reflects the whole seething mass of people that live on this Earth, they don't all think the same way sadly, but then we would appear like robots so that is a good thing. There is dissent, there are a lot of causes brought to the table. Above all there is the pick, pick nastiness of the people who think otherwise. And who, I may say, probably have just as many faults as everyone else.
Zack probably has many faults, his training as an actor helps his style of performance and I really think the other parties are very jealous that he has such appeal amongst the people ;)
He is Jewish, shall I venture down this road strewn with the dead of both Israelis and Palestine. Yes I was totally appalled by October 7th but I am also appalled by the death of civilians in Palestine. And, as a rider here, I think Netanyahu should be taken before the courts of Nuremberg and sentenced for his warring.
On my blog I keep a reminder of the death of the little Palestinian girl Hind, it would have been her birthday yesterday, someone wrote a poem for her. For me she represents all the children that have been killed in the needless wars in Israel, Palestine and Ukraine.
This is what is bringing the protest crowds on the streets, they are not some evil minded mobs but young and old, Jewish and Muslim people trying to get this senseless slaughter of other human beings stopped.
Taken from Face Book because this is the real issue, and not the political nit picking we so often find in our media and social outlets. xxx
Nice work, and I think very similarly. The Greens here have some balance of power in our Senate, the upper federal house, and so have some say over what the government can do at times and involve themselves in social policies, among others. But at times I think The Greens need to return to their roots of the environment, and god knows, there is enough to keep them fully occupied with those matters.
ReplyDeleteI suppose now it would be The Hague for Netanyahu, rather than Nuremburg, but I would love to see him there.
To criticise Israel's actions is not antisemitic. It is just plain speaking about what Israel as a nation has done, led by Netanyahu.
