Comments on: Zionism Should be on Trial, Not Ken Livingstone https://bsnews.info/zionism-trial-not-ken-livingstone/ News You Won't Find on BBC or ITN Mon, 16 May 2016 04:15:16 +0000 hourly 1 By: reynadine https://bsnews.info/zionism-trial-not-ken-livingstone/#comment-2789 Mon, 16 May 2016 04:15:16 +0000 http://bsnews.info/?p=14644#comment-2789 ‘This is a complex and, for obvious reasons, delicate history.’ Certainly the history is more complex than a few soundbites on msm, but it is not complex in itself or compared with most political conflicts. The history of the Jewish takeover of Palestine is actually quite straightforward. It is made complex by the mythologising that accompanied it and the pro-Jewish propaganda that followed it. Neither is it especially ‘delicate’ except for the same reasons. It is complex and delicate only because of the risk of inflaming Israeli and Jewish opposition. But this is not an innocent opposition. It is a carefully crafted and deliberate attempt to hold the conscience of the world to ransom. And as such it should be vigorously exposed and rejected. Redefining the meaning of the word ‘anti-semitic’ to include those who oppose Israeli actions against the Palestinians, makes large numbers of us anti-semitic by default. We should embrace this, not resile from it. We should call Zionism’s bluff.
