What’s scariest is that the West has abandoned any pretense of caring about human rights or moving beyond its colonial mindset. We are told that genocide is fine, actually, and that those who commit it are our friends. We are told to just let go and become Nazis. It is in this moment that we must decide whether we are to embrace our humanity and resist this psychopathic vision for our species and take the first steps towards a future in which humanity explores its potential among the stars or whether we simply give up and exist as orcs for as long as our habitat allows before we finally manage to destroy it.
@aral We live in a world in which a person who says "I will always be a friend of [a state actively committing #Genocide]" is not only not arrested, not only not expelled from Parliament and from her political party, but is allowed to hold the second highest political office in a country which considers itself 'civilised'.

I have no problem with this, BUT, friends don't usually let friends break the law, sometimes even your closest friend has to be told NO, sometimes you HAVE to stop friends doing stuff that is illegal, even if that results in their arrest, it may get them the help they need, if nothing else, for their own good.
A friend is not much of a friend if they stick by you while you commit serious offenses such as rape, murder.
Lets see if Rachael Reeves has the ability to actually understand this and put pressure on Netenyau to either seek peace or step aside so someone else in his country can take israel forward as a civilised nation or cement them in this part of history as complicit in Gencide (UN has used that word).
@zleap @simon_brooke She is not "friends" with #IsraelTerroristState she is a PARTNER. It's all about the money, power and colonisation (wich will give them lots of money)
Friendship and 💰 are a bad merge.
Well now that war criminal, Tony B Liar is involved, he will rake in the money.
