Ignoring the Starmer part, TIL that “Sir Jimmy always said he had berated the Israeli Cabinet in 1975 for being too soft after the Six Day War.”
I took a couple of weeks off paying attention to the news, but seeing this stuff is making me pretty well convinced that we’re all in some sort of drug-induced collective hallucination.
I really can’t imagine how else this headline exists. Or any of the other headlines about Boris Johnson, Jimmy Savile, and some sort of flash mob targeting Keir Starmer. With that somehow being Labour’s fault. Also antisemitic.
I surely can’t be the only one who doesn’t even remotely understand any of this insanity, or any of the other recent insanity, or any of the insanity from the past half a decade (or more). It doesn’t look like the same universe I grew up in.
Bleh. I’m sad that I have to investigate every time, and while most of these are obviously racist, there’s a few which are borderline. Pointing out Starmer’s history with Zionism and such isn’t racist. Also says ‘collaboration between far-left and far-right’ which seems unlikely.
