At times like this, the mask really comes off the British media. There is no pretence - at all - about their impartiality or objectivity towards the Green Party. It is a blatant naked partisan cross-media assault against the Greens.

The deliberate slaughter of children. That is where racist supremacy leads.

Many of today's Palestinians are actually descendants of the ancient Jewish people. Some of their oppressors are not. Make it make sense!

Today is the day!

Go and campaign for @zackpolanski.bsky.social if you can!

Even if it's just for an hour!

Go to πŸ“St Pancras Gardens NW1 1UL.

Spread the word!

Beyond awkward. Look how the Labour candidate in Holborn and St. Pancras responded when Palestine was mentioned. 😱😱😱😱

The West is falling.

So why has it been left to the Right to talk about it?

My new book 'The Fall of the West: How They Really Lost It' is out now: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/468587

Douglas Murray hasn't just been wrong. He's been catastrophically wrong - over and over and over again.

This is how an Israeli minister responded to the statement "Zionism is racism". By being extraordinarily racist. You cannot make this shit up!

@owenjones.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 10:06 PM

Bosnian Serb nationalism would not have been racist if Bosniaks and Bosnian Croatians didn't exist. Zionism would not have been racist if Palestinian Muslims and Christians did not exist. But here's the problem for both: They did and do exist!

@owenjones.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 10:06 PM

The thing is: Palestinians are a people with equal rights. Bosnian Muslims are a people with equal rights. You cannot oppress and slaughter these people as compensation for crimes you've suffered.

Serb nationalism and Zionism are very similar. Serbs and Jews were both victims of Nazi genocide in WWII. The nationalism of both fused victimhood with chauvinism. Both nationalisms argued that they were merely rectifying a historical wrongdoing their peoples had suffered.

@owenjones.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 10:06 PM

In WWII, the Serbs were victims of genocide at the hands of Croatian Nazi collaborators, the UstaΕ‘e. In the 1990s, their justification for ethnic cleansing? "The Serbs were once majorities in these lands, but genocide ended that. We must now rectify that historic wrong."

@owenjones.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 10:06 PM

Like every settler-colonialist movement that has ever existed, you need a justification. "Why do we deserve this land, unlike the people who actually live there now?" The basic justification for this always, well, racism. By actual definition!

@owenjones.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 10:06 PM

When the Zionist movement was promised Palestine by the British Empire, 90% of its people were Arab Muslims and Christians. The Zionist movement of the era echoed the colonialist mantras of the time to justify taking the land away from the people who actually lived there.

@owenjones.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 10:06 PM

There is nothing racist about any ethnic or religious group wanting their own homeland. The problem is if this desire is at the expense of another people. Zionism in practise meant "a homeland at the expense of Palestinians". It's really not hard to grasp this basic point!

Two million pensioners live in poverty. We spend less on pensions than other rich countries. Yes, we desperately need a National Care Service. Don't make today's workers poorer in their old age to pay for it!

as the article says!
