Whenever I see this accusation I'm reminded of the opposite accusation:

" Are white western people biologically predisposed to colonising the globe, imposing dictators on non-white people (incl Arabs), and normalising genocide and violence on non-white people ... all whilst maintaining a beautiful polite decorum around the superiority of human rights and democracy?"

Dear Starmer

Years ago your accusations of antisemitism frightened the shit out of us. It would paralyse us into compliance.

Now we just laugh at your pathetic attempts to scare us.

It doesn't work any more. Try another trick, or just give up and go home.

Regards

Why are the police to enthusiastic about physical violence?

It's as if they have a personal interest is defending Israel.

I genuinely believe the Western world will somehow ignore the genocide and move on. They'll find it very easy because the genocide and their role in it is rather inconvenient to acknowledge. And many citizens will be more than happy to forget and ignore, because at the deepest level, they are less aligned with brown people than "one of us" people.

The uphill difficulty will be faced by those who want to ensure history preserves records of what happened, and by those that seek justice.

No-one has been put on trial for the Iraq war and the subsequent horrors. Lots of kids today weren't even born in 2003.

If winners write history, we can only get justice by winning.

Downing Street will be tried in a future war crimes tribunal.
