Shame on the BBC reporter for NOT stating that a High Court decision ruled the governments decision to proscribe Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000 was unlawful
Palestine Action became a proscribed organization in July 2025, making membership of or support for the group a criminal offence. For absolute real, the stinky brits will arrest you for wearing a tee shirt:
Fascists are good at pointing at the problem. They aren't as good at figuring out why and then finding a solution. Very often, they'll point at a problem and then say something stupid like "and it's all the immigrant's fault."
I didn't realize the brits were as much of a pussy for isreal to fuck as the us is. What's isreal got on brit leadership? We already know that they have trumpstein files and that's why trump bows down to them.
Tucker is going to run for president in 2028. Watch. He's been trying to present himself as a sensible person. He's just like MTG. Savvy, but still terrible.
The right wing media shitheads turning on Trump and Netanyahu are doing so not because of a come to Jesus moment but because they want to have a career after the Mad King is dead.
It also lets them indulge in their antisemitism.
The fact that they're able to call out clearly immoral acts by Israel before most Democrats is shameful for the Democrats.
Tucker Carlson is calling this out because opposing Israel is becoming rightfully popular and he thinks he can leverage that popularity of siding with some common sense issues in order to spread his incredibly insidious and unpopular issues, like widespread racism and hatred. You do not have to hand it to him in any way.
Honestly I think that's the scariest part of how bad Bibi's Administration has become in that prople are more open with criticism, regardless if its sincere or not.
Clinto and Bush era it was coded as something else. A desperate fight of equals on the west wing.
After bibi's constitutional crisis the 10-7 attacks, his government is....well folks are realizing their governments might have (definately have) created a tyrant king of israel
That's the excuse for the ban but they were banned because they were effective rallying support for Palestine and Israel was not okay with that. They were "proscribed" so they could be shut down.
The way to understand why British politics is still supporting Israel is this: they see Israel as their last Imperial territory. As long as Israel exsists, the British Empire exists. Totally delusional of course, but thats (a large part of) the psyche behind it.
Britain still has a number of overseas territories, it followed the un recommendation and withdrew its Palestine mandate in 1948 . It created a mess there by promising ,during ww1 ,to many Arab groups that they would get lands and political control if they helped defeat the ottoman empire while in 1917 through the balfour declaration that the British would help establish a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. It was not possible to fulfil the promises to both groups
This feels much more like someone who has a rough idea of a country's history and is coming to conclusions based on broad simplifications. You look at the history books and Britain having an empire is a major, unavoidable part of global politics in the centuries leading up to the mid-1900s, including the events leading to Israel becoming a state. That doesn't mean it makes sense for modern UK politics to be seen through the lens of an empire that hasn't been relevant for a generation. /1
A better, but more mundane explanation for the overreaction against Palestine Action is to look at the companies they were protesting against in the UK before proscription and what economic and political influence that those companies have in government. Add to that the fact that many politicians are historically wary of strongly criticising Israel because of the political backlash that can follow, and you get a much more grounded explanation than ‘Britain still thinks it has an empire.’ /2
It's more than just that. Criticising the genocidal state that is Israel requires you examine their history, all the way back to the founding; a patch of land was taken from people already living there and given to others who were and still are proactively hostile to everyone in the region. No nation will voluntarily get on the international stage and admit they fucked up (since Britain was 90% responsible for that handover of land).
We still had a vast empire when Israel was established, and in fact we neither wanted Palestine in the first place nor mourned its loss when we left; in fact the UN and US wanted us to stay longer but because we felt they had ignored our recommendations, arrived at after the 1936/37 "Arab revolt", we basically said alright its your problem now. That literally made no one happy, not the Jews, not the Palestinians, not the US, not the UN, it probably made the 1/
French happy because they felt aggrieved by our war time support for Syrian and Lebanese independence and they still believed the post war world would have empires where as we had already begun transitioning our empire from one of flags on maps to one of financial and corporate dominance over our former colonies. Zionists however did infiltrate our politics along time before they did anyone else's, basically in the years after the Napoleonic wars, because we were suddenly the worlds only true 2/
Superpower for slightly more than a century after that. They recognised that essentially British word was global law, and tried to get us to support various schemes for a Jewish homeland, including one where we'd give them Uganda and a piece of Kenya, and another where we'd approach the Portugese government and facilitate a purchase of Angola. 3
Tucker Carsol is a vile, oozing boil of a human being. A seeping pustule on the backside of the American media monstrosity. But... as much as it actively pains me to say it... the oozing boil is making some valid points here. Not everything. But some of that which dribbled out of his mouth here was actually asking good questions.
He was smart enough to pivot on Israel early. He's a trained propagandist and isn't tied to the current suicidal regime in the US. He is all of those things you mentioned, yes, but he is not saying these things now because he had an epiphany about conservatism being wrong or anything like that.
He's doing a heel-turn to try and get more/better work when Trump crumbles and the Dems take power. Then he'll be right back to his bullshit to curry favor with the "new" same old Republican party. Keep booing him despite his "new" messaging, he is still a shit swizzler.
he's made an interesting break from maga in recent years. He's an absolute bastard, but he's no longer their bastard. Kinda like whats happening with mtg.
What nightmare reality do we live in where Iran is the victim, Tucker Carlson is speaking sense ( briefly) and Israel gets away with genocide on a daily basis.
Not so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93Russia_relations The relationship between Israel and Russia has improved significantly since the early 2000s, with the election of the more pro-Israel Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and the election of the more pro-Russia Israeli leader Ariel Sharon. Putin has had a close relationship with long-serving Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Its what leftists have been trying to warn liberals about for decades now. By demonizing all anti-israel anti-zionist speech as "antisemitism", you leave the door open for REAL antisemites to swoop in and grift their way to correct moral positions, leaving an opening for moderate voters to come into the movement. If Tucker were to run again Kamala in 2028 for instance, I have no doubt he would win on this one issue alone, and it terrifies me.
BAD PEOPLE can sometimes serve as useful tools, in the right moment.
Just look at Marjorie Taylor Greene. She is now a thorn in Trump's side. She's calling out some of the major wrongs. But, it's self-serving. She only did it once she was personally affected. She's useful now, but can't forget what she did, what she enabled.
The same goes for Tucker Carlson. HE HELPED CREATED THIS PROBLEM of the toxic conservative far-right.
He is a horrible person and he sells himself to the highest bidders. That doesn’t always mean what he is saying is a lie. It just means he has a reason for saying it.
The standard is so low now in regards to Israel, that Tucker Fucking Carlson manages to be the saner voice in the room for several consecutive seconds in a row from time to time. And THAT is scary.
He is correct on these criticisms but his motives are not from a place of universal application of morality. It's from a supremacist ideology. That's the difference between him and us.
Well said. Tucker Carlson is an opportunistic slimeball. He will turn on a dime to contradict his previous positions when it serves him. There's no moral foundation in this man. He's exploitative and selfish. He helped create the MAGA movement. His baby that he co-authored. He should never live that down.
THANK YOU. Even when he stumbles backwards into a logical, coherent idea, it’s from a place of malice. And that’s giving him the benefit of the doubt—it’s far more likely that his shift into semi-coherent non-hatefulness is part of a larger strategy to get peoples’ guards down so that he can further build his audience. He is NOT to be trusted, and we need to stop saying “he makes a good point here.” It’s what he wants, and he counts on people saying it.
First large Marge said something I agree on, then blowjob boobit was less dumb than usual and now for the first time I don't want to punch Fucker Carlson. Worlds are colliding.
He's not good, he's just a smarter fascist than most of them, which means he has at least two braincells. Don't mistake that for him somehow becoming rational.
Well, the party finally tossed him aside and now it's less he's doing something right, and more just acting against the side that stopped supporting him
You should still punch him. His opposition towards Israel, and thus alleged support of Palestine, IS actually because of his anti-semitism. Similar cases for Greene and Babbit. You absolutely don't have to hand it to them
we hate netenyahu and Israeli society because they’re genocidal sociopaths. Marge and Tucker Klanson hate them because they’re antisemites. we are not the same
The whole western concept of media is to create discourse between its people and so they can accomplish nothing. He's no activist by saying agreeable things. He's just another grifter with a big platform. His true ambitions will be revealed some day.
He still is one of the "Flood the zone with shit" guys. He just swapped the kind of shit, because his old buddies didn't pay him anymore, so he now has to flood other shit others (Russia) pay him for.
