A quick look at the a Taliban’s network of friends:
Hamas and the Taliban are the same, hence the celebrations from Hamas. Neither are big on elections or freedom.
For Jews in Israel, “Antizionists” seek an even more hideous version of Afghanistan’s reality...
Of course the Taliban are cosy with Iran, the psychopaths behind most war in the region who publicly hang dissenters and hate women. Shared values...
And China won’t hang about. Not with all those natural resources they can take advantage of as well as increasing their influence...
Of course the Taliban are keen on the Islamic republic of Turkey, who have imprisoned the most journalists in the world and conduct a permanent racist war on Kurdishness....
It’s an open secret that Pakistan is helping (or dictating) the Taliban. The leadership were always welcomed, their soldiers got treatment, their children schooled and some own property there. Pakistan’s politicians have laughably rebranded them as “the new, civilized Taliban.”..
This is the network that the US and UK withdrawal has supercharged. This is the future.

THEEAD ABOUT 🍊 AND 🍋
You’ll never see this nursery rhyme the same again....
1/5 It’s about impoverished Jews collecting Oranges and Lemons shipped by Livorno Jews to St Clement’s (Eastcheap - by the Thames wharves)...
2/5 They were fronted the money near St Martins (Outwich) and if they couldn’t sell their produce (to pay back what they owed) they endedup in Newgate, where they would hear the chimes of St Sepulchre opposite the Old Bailey...
3/5 Jews lived in tenements in Shoreditch and Stepney - places like this were packed with thousands of Jewish immigrants , mainly Ashkenazi but also Sephardi...
Kevin McDonald appeared as a witness for Holocaust revisionist David Irving during his infamous libel trial, and described Irving’s work as “required reading for serious students”.
He told the court about Judaism being “self interested groups”....
Miller published McDonald at length - uncritically and without challenge - on his website Neocon Europe.
Miller even reproduced McDonald’s racial eugenics list, which outlined the “characteristics of Jewish intellectual movements”...
I find it difficult to find the words to express how angry I am about this Ken Loach saga.
Why is ‘free speech’ in practice used to allow antisemites to speak at universities? I don’t see other types of racists given a platform without so much as a murmer...
Loach is celebrated by society despite his anti-Jewish incitement and Holocaust revision.
Instead of solidarity, the Jewish students who complained were confronted with gaslighting and sneering racism by their own College...
And where the hell are the anti-racist left in all this? Almost completely silent (when they aren’t supporting Loach), once again exposing the truth of where their ‘solidarity’ extends...
