The Green party of England and Wales, at its conference last week, passed a landmark – and long overdue – motion backed by the Greens’ new, Jewish party leader Zack Polanski demanding the proscription, or banning as a terrorist group, of the so-called ‘Israel Defence Forces’ (IDF), in reality an arm of the terror state occupying Palestine, as well as calling for an apology by the UK to the Palestinian people for the ‘Balfour Declaration’ that paved the way for the theft of their land to create Israel as an ethnostate.

The Green Party: IDF are terrorists

It is the first time a UK political party has named the IDF as a terror group, despite the Israeli regime’s genocide and endless crimes against the Palestinians for the past two years and for decades before that.

The motion calls for:

The Israeli military (IDF) to be banned under UK counter-terrorism law, so that participation in or praise of its operations could be criminalised;A formal apology from the British government to the people of Palestine for the Balfour Declaration;An immediate cease of Israeli military operations in Gaza, a withdrawal of forces, and the guarantee of humanitarian access – food, water, medical supplies – to civilians;Support for the International Criminal Court’s case of genocide, and a full arms embargo on Israel;The end of British training, intelligence sharing, and spy-plane flights over Palestinian territory;Use of British shipping resources to deliver aid to Gaza and the West Bank;Deployment of a UN peacekeeping force into Gaza and the West Bank to protect Palestinian lives.

Under the Starmer regime’s ‘lawfare’ war on UK citizens’ free speech and protest rights, to protect Israel from action and scrutiny, the UK state has been misusing proscription against non-violent anti-genocide activists, leading to the arrests of thousands of peaceful protesters demonstrating against the proscription, which is normally applied to violent groups such as ISIS and al Qaeda.

Meanwhile…

Despite those two groups appearing in the government’s list of proscribed groups and the new Syrian regime’s strong links to both, the UK military – along with those of the US and Israel – was repeatedly deployed to assist the terrorists against the previous Syrian government, as well as continuing to provide intel and military support to the Israeli occupation in its slaughter of almost 700,000 civilians in Gaza. Starmer has also invited the new regime’s president, a former senior member of both terror groups, to visit the UK.

There is, of course, zero chance of the Starmer government classifying the IDF – and therefore itself for aiding it – as terrorists, or of either Reform or the Tories, both strongly Zionist, doing so either. All the more reason to do everything to ensure a Green/Your Party coalition is in government after the next general election.

    Now that I know what’s really going-on: it’s a policy of Netanyahu’s “Israel”… it makes much more sense.

    ( Thank you Lemmy.World for informing me of that doctrine, the other day )

    It also makes-obvious that you have to meet force with force proportionately, such that any player who always throws-around disproportionate-destruction so as to always-increase their control-of-the-world, you HAVE to hit them with force-equal-to-what-they’re-throwing-around, XOR you are accommodating-their-gaining-control-of-our-world.

    Same as always, G-D’s law is reflective, and that means equal-and-opposite-force. ( yes, same as physics )

    The really-sad thing about Netanyahu’s “Israel” is that their own scripture, like Jeremiah & Isaiah, identify that their relationship with their god is cyclical: with-god then against-god … and when they go against-their-god, then their-god torches them.

    So, IF their scripture holds-true, and their god is as it/“he” stated in their scripture, THEN Netanyahu’s “Israel” should be toast, shortly.

    if their god won’t torch them, or enforce-their-torching, THEN their god is … evil, apparently, or intermittent, or … periodic, or something.

    So, the Scientific thing to do, is simply … wait & see.

    Let’s see if their scripture is right, & they’re getting torched, shortly…

    If so, then maybe their god is someone of integrity…

    ( for a bit more context, Jews are ordered to NOT read all of Isaiah, apparently, by their rabbis:

    1 entire chapter of it is forbidden because it looks too-much like it backs the root-guru of the Christians, benJoseph.

    The whole concept of rabbis outranking the prophets of Judaism … I find that hard to reconcile with logic, you know?

    but ideological-contortionism is normal, among humans… )

    whatever. From what I’ve read, zionists insist that Ezekiel … iirc it is 39 … vetoes all Jeremiah & Isaiah, & blesses their genociding of ALL peoples around them…

    Therefore genociding Palestinians is just the beginning, right?

    Rabies is rabies.

    Ideological-rabies is ideological-rabies, it doesn’t matter whether it is “zionist” or “christian” or “islamist” or “capitalist”/moneyarchist/oligarchist or “buddhist” or “hindutva” or “atheist” or “confucian” or “marxist” or “leninist” or “right-wing” or “fascist” or mass-shooter or ANY ideological-rabies:

    we’ve got the inherent right to fight against ideological-rabies!

    Same as the right to fight against the biological rabies, & ebola, too.

    Healthiness is a right!

    Always was, always will be.

    Anyone opposing healthiness-is-a-right is … representing wrongness.
