Plastic Venus

"Only if you hug it will help" "רק אם תחבק"
And one of the greatest of the period -

נושאי המגבעת - אני טקסט פוליטי?

And again Plastic Venus, when the had an album with hi quality production

UK's president of the National Union of Students!!

"I just want to start by declaring solidarity with siblings in Palestine who have historically decades upon decades have continued to bear the brunt of a racist system of apartheid"
At the same meeting we have Omar Barghouti stating that Israel enacts a form of "Zionist supremacism" which provides a model state for "white supremacists".
And finally Ben Jamal, of the PSC:
"[Israel] is a problem rooted in process of settler colonialism given initial energy by Balfour declaration, was accelerated under British mandate which oversaw & engineered process of huge Jewish settlement & expulsion of Palestinians"

I've had a massive (and destructive) argument with a friend over whether this is antisemitism. I see a lot of people have trouble understanding this. So let me try to explain:
What you see here is not a criticism of Israel or Zionism. I can pretty much guarantee that Ed has little idea what Zionism is, or what goes on in Israel. Or, for that matter even, what Judaism is (not to mention it's long relationship with Zionism)
A rational critique might go: "I think the excesses of the IDF against Palestinians is a direct outcome of Zionism and even a manifestation of it". This is a rational argument (albeit completely untrue - and falsifiable as well).

1/ It's that time of year again, and Banksy's simplistic, shallow but evocative political art work of Joseph and Miriam being confronted by a giant concrete wall and watchtower.
2/ The image juxtaposes of the mythological image of Yosef trying to reach Bethlehem - called forth by the xmas star (which is on the other side - unreachable). The harshness of a ten-foot concrete barrier is contrasted with idillic pastoral image of local shepherds.
3/ Border watchtower in full view, in order to invoke image of concentration camp. It is also intended to invoke the impression that "Jews were victim but now they're the oppressors"

On the "moderate" Labour Party Forum, someone posts the question:

"Why is Labour so heave on faux antisemitism but so light on real Islamophobia?"

Here are some of the answers:
"Faux anti-semitism is the work of non-socialists"
"all the stuff about antisemitism, It's just make-believe"

This pretty much mirrors what's been happening in Stamford Hill (the "Bnei Brak" of London)
Sorry, this makes for very grim reading.

I've been looking at areas where there are conceptual similarities between David Icke's writings and Mein Kampf. In some cases I think you'll find it hard to say who said what. Some examples follow:
"How far the entire existence of this people is based on a continuous lie is shown in an incomparable manner and certainty in the 'Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion" - Adolf Hitler
"In the 1800s some documents surfaced called the Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion. Almost everything these documents proposed to do has happened in this century." - David Icke
