British politicians have been referring to those speaking out or attending protests in support of the Palestinians and, in particular the genocide in Gaza, as supporters of Hamas or supporting terrorism and so on. The multi-millionaire warmongering US politician Nancy Pelosi has called the protestors Putin's puppets and stuff like that. This is the depth of deceit and dishonesty these imperialist mouthpieces are stooping to in order to protect US and western imperialism' only reliable ally in the Middle East.
What a despicable character Pelosi is, and the two parties of US capitalism are populated by these characters.
What Pelosi, Rushi Sunak and others should be doing is applauding the heroism and dedication of the, mostly young Jews, who are in the forefront of the protest movement in the US and throughout the world. Instead, the politicians of the bourgeois, and in the UK that includes the Labor Party, defend AIPAC, Zionism, and the Israeli' fascists in the efforts to drive the non-Jewish Palestinians off the land and create a greater settler colonial state.
Pelosi should apologize to the American Jews who are in the streets, for her slanderous comments because they face mountains of abuse not just from Pelosi, but from right wing Jewish elements and in particular the Zionists. They are called self hating Jews, traitors and more. They are inspiring to say the least.
Any sensible person, or decent political figure knowing the history of persecution that Jews have faced in Christian Europe, where some six million of them were murdered, or the forced conversions from Christian states like the UK where Jews committed suicide rather than being forced to convert to Christianity, or Spain whose many Jews fled rather than convert and were welcomed by the Muslims of North Africa, would be praising the thousands of Jews leading the struggle for Palestinian rights and against Zionism with the slogan, Zionism is not Judaism.
