The Black Lives Matter chapter in Chicago publicly backed the Palestinian terrorists who killed some 1,200 Israelis over the weekend with a post that read “I Stand with Palestine” and an image of a Hamas paraglider. The Mail has more.
A graphic posted to the group’s social media accounts shows an image of a paraglider with a Palestinian flag pointing out of his parachute – similar to the terrorists who paraglided into an Israeli music festival to viciously murder innocent attendees.
As has been the case in most major U.S. cities, pro-Palestinian protestors gathered Monday on the streets of Chicago to cheer on the Palestinian cause, which in this latest bout of terrorism has led to, among other things, the beheading of babies.
It’s not clear that the Chicago BLM branch were among the protestors in Chicago.
BLM Chicago is just one of the many BLM branches around the country, including the entire grassroots organisation, that has publicly backed Palestinian fighters over Israel in the days since the attacks on Israel began.
The Chicago branch has shared to its social media pages graphics that explicitly blame Israel for the barbaric terror attacks conducted by Hamas terrorists, because of their “apartheid regime”‘
The organisation also attempted to sow division along racial lines by posting a graphic displaying images of celebrities who have spoken out in support for Israel in recent days.
The image included Sarah Paulson, David Schwimmer, Kylie Jenner, and Madonna, and contrasted them with those who support or have supported the Palestinian cause, who include Angela Davis, Malala, Malcolm X and Nelson Mandela.
“Notice anything about those who support Israel and those who support Palestine?” reads the graphic, implying that people of color should align themselves against white people in support of the Palestinians.
Since its founding the Black Lives Matter movement has supported the Palestinian cause, frequently referring to Israel, its people and its Governments as oppressors.
In the spring of 2021, when Israel and the Palestinians last traded rockets, BLM released several statements in support of Palestinians, and against Israelis, whom they called settler colonialists.

Brendan O’Neill in the Spectator wonders aloud where the ‘anti-fascists’ like Antifa are now that something redolent of actual fascism is happening.
To the modern Left, everything is fascism except actual fascism. Everything is ‘like the 1930s’ except the slaughter of Jewish youths, the kidnapping of Jewish grandmothers, the rise of mobs demanding a second Holocaust. …
Back Brexit and they’ll call you far Right. Say a man can never become a woman and they’ll brand you a fellow traveller of fascism. Wonder out loud if we should try to do something about illegal immigration and they’ll say, “This is starting to feel a bit 1930s”.
But wipe out entire Jewish families? Gun down Jewish festivalgoers? Kidnap an elderly woman who survived the Holocaust? Mock Jews on the streets of our cities? Then they’ll erm and ahh. That’s ‘resistance’ apparently, not racism. It’s a rebellion, not fascism. It’s a “day of celebration”, as Novara Media’s commissioning editor said of Hamas’s invasion of Israel on Saturday, not a return of the bigotries of the 1930s.
Surely nothing better captures the moral disorientation of the radical Left than the fact that they are more likely to use the word ‘fascist’ about their own fellow citizens who voted Leave or who defend women-only spaces than they are about a radical Islamist in Gaza who spits on the dead body of a woman who was murdered on the presumption that she was Jewish.

Yes pricing is an issue, but also Machete wielding lunatics trying to chop everyone’s heads off probably play a role too.
” tourist numbers remain below pre-pandemic levels”
What pandemic was this? I remember lockdowns and other restrictions on normal life, imposed by our and other governments and I remember being told there was a “pandemic” but I never saw or read any compelling evidence pointing to it being real – just stuff about “cases” and “deaths” based on a “test”, none of which were meaningful or properly defined. Just after “lockdowns” were declared, an unusual number of mainly old people died in a short space of time, but the reasons for this could be various and not necessarily “covid”.
“Just after “lockdowns” were declared, an unusual number of mainly old people died in a short space of time, but the reasons for this could be various and not necessarily “covid”.”
Come on tof, stop being cutesy – Midazolam Mat.
Certainly the most likely explanation along with general denial of care/drop in care standards.
Exactly that!
Cheers Ron.
Never Forget, Never Forgive.
Given Kneel’s wholehearted commitment to utterly destroy our country I am sure he and Robber Reeves will be delighted with this news. Sadly, the collapse in our hospitality standards and inexorably rising prices has done nothing to deter the Calais Yatch Club arrivals. Whoops…but they only come to TAKE not give. Silly me.
Realistically though why would anyone want to visit this country? Everywhere we go, every town and city is full of non Brits wandering about jabbering away in anything but English and wearing pyjamas while their women have their faces covered for some obscure reason not linked to the C1984.
Anyway, more WEF browny points for Starmer Feuhrer.
They are probably just using the main cities as an airport Hub. I used Birmingham Airport and got straight out of there once I got to my car!
The internet means that a Country’s problems are now fully on display for any would be tourists to see. So what do they learn about the UK?
There is permitted violence in the form of the Palestine protests in London, which have resulted in the defacement of some of the national treasures that tourists would choose to see.
The Museums have now fallen under the spell of re-educstion such that great works of art are either no longer available to be seen, or the visitor is told that they need to be aware that they might be “triggered” by what they see. In addition there is always the possibility that a JSO, Extinction rebellion member will throw dye over them, or glue themselves to the picture.
Then there is the knife crime, the machete incidents, the muggings which are a risk, one example the little Australian girl a tourist with her mother stabbed in Leicester square, how do you think that went down in Australia?
The terrorist offences.
Then there is the general standard of filth in our Cities London stinks of weed, in Tottenham court road human excrement littered the pavement, and tents in various side streets with visibly drunk people inside.
Then the cost of things, the cost of a round of drinks in London and in the Cotswolds for 4 people is circa thirty pounds, the cost of a very average meal won’t see you out with less than 50 quid per head, that’s in a pub, and the service is very rarely service, the guest is made to feel more of a distraction from the mobile phone of the server.
Hotel room costs are a joke, its cheaper to stay in a luxury hotel in Asia than it is in a bog standard hotel in London.
Transport unless its the Elizabeth line is filthy and dispiriting, trains elsewhere are likewise cripplingly expensive, overcrowded and again less than clean.
Yes we have some castles, museums, and places like the Palace of Westminster etc, but as with much else in the UK the citizens have been conditioned to feel shame at these places, as representative of our terrible history, that patriotism and pride in your culture is to be abhored, and so these places look neglected, the staff reflect the state of decay and neglect.
In summary the country to the outsider is dirty, crime ridden, unsafe, expensive and in a state of collapse. Why would you choose to risk a holiday here.
Depressingly well put. I have avoided any cities for years now, but I will not go anywhere near London exactly because of the reasons in your comments. I would have loved to take my grandchildren to visit all the places I took my children, to show them the treasures of our country but it has all been debased and I will not put their safety at risk to even travel on public transport.
I must say not everywhere is tainted by the Globalists (yet at least). Was walking around Hereford the other day, with it being a nice day there was a generally good atmosphere. Events outside of the amusements of kids etc, I used to live there so it was normal for there. But while walking through the back of my mind was full of the dark news events. End of Rome maybe.
You are very wise to protect them. An acquaintance said that he took his wife and kids to London for the first time last summer, to visit their own capital city, and to show them the world-famous historical sights which his own parents had shown him as a child.
He and his wife were utterly shocked to see so many Third World Immigrants swarming everywhere, with few English people to be seen, along with the general atmosphere of dingy, filthy, menacing decay. He hardly knew how to answer his young son when he asked, “Why are all the men wearing pajamas?”
He said he couldn’t believe this had happened in only a couple of decades, and he would never go back there again, or let his children go even on a school trip there.
Here’s an example of public transport in Sweden:

Another excellent article from Colin Todhunter on how the big corporations are working to take over world food production.
https://www.globalresearch.ca/agrarianism-transhumanism-long-march-dystopia/5865602
Todhunter supplies this quote:
Silvia Guerini says [3]:
“The past becomes something to be erased in order to break the thread that binds us to a history, to a tradition, to a belonging, for the transition towards a new uprooted humanity, without past, without memory… a new humanity dehumanised in its essence, totally in the hands of the manipulators of reality and truth”.
Is this not so obviously what has been happening to this country for at least fifty years and which Kneel and Co are now pushing in to overdrive?
They haven’t won yet, we may be at a metaphorical crossroads.
Just go to the main visitor attractions. Arrival at the aitrports and the journey through Britain are depressing. Service at hotels and restaurants is surly and expensive. Service everywhgere is poor because it is based on minimum wage immigrant labour, in the main.
The National Trust displays its wokery at every opportunity as do museums, theatre and other attractions.
Safety concerns have been circulated around the world and the attitude of the elites and the police is hardly encouraging. Removal of VAT refunds for high spending visitors makes a 20 per cent difference to the disadvantage of London.
Good points. And here is the kind of “London Theatre Experience” on offer, entitled “Death of England”, featuring an Ethnic African complaining about racism, and boasting about impregnating the English sister of his English “best friend”.
Then there’s his angst-ridden English “best friend” deciding to wait until his own English father’s funeral to publicly denounce his dad’s “racism”. Perhaps he will also kneel before the theatre audience.
Then there are the two mothers-in-law: one Ethnic African, one English, and we can guess which one is portrayed as the “victim”, and which one the “villain”.

It really feels like the country is returning to the 1970s sometimes
“It really feels like the country is returning to the 1970s sometimes.”
Or perhaps soon to be the 1470’s.
But the 1970’s where? Bangladesh? Syria? Pakistan? Iraq? Afghanistan? –or maybe all of those?
Which is why I referred to 1470. Feudalism incoming. Or maybe even worse for the survivors.
But the 1970 were also better in many ways.
I don’t remember any of this in the 1970s. “The Winter of Discontent”, all the trade union strikes and IRA Catholic Terrorist atrocities can’t compare with this total Alien Invasion.
I agree with Nigel Farage, when he said that in London in the 1980s, “Life was fun!”
I was thinking that the ‘entertainment’ referred to sounds like the political theatre of an earlier era. The air of general decay and cultural malaise, too. Granted there were grounds for optimism then, which I don’t see today, as you say.
Oh, yes, I see what you mean. I meant that at least the towns, cities, villages and workplaces of the UK were still recognisably English/Welsh/Scots/Northern Irish back then, before Andrew Neather bravely revealed the plan to “rub our noses in diversity”.
“…with accommodation costs up by 35.8%, restaurant prices by 28.7%.”
Wot? Despite all that essential, cheap, enriching, immigrant labour?
Interesting article thanks. Especially the bit on pricing, “The CEBR report says that overall prices in the U.K. for 2024 are expected to be 23.5% higher than in 2019, with accommodation costs up by 35.8%, restaurant prices by 28.7%, and airfares by 47.6%.”
The Fake News tells me that inflation is low…..in the past 10 years some products have gone up 50%… for people from ‘weak currency’ countries, the UK is increasingly unaffordable to visit. Rona, Net-tard zero, massive immigration, etc etc to blame. But I am sure the BBC will find a way to blame ‘Brexit’….
The airport experience both arriving and leaving is uniformly horrendous.
And once you’re here, prices are high quality is let’s say variable.
Destinations such as museums display an unpleasant level of cynical self hate, so why would anybody spend gazillions taking their kids there.
The weather and the traffic are hideous, and our cities, where most tourists would go are run by metropolitan councils whose main concern seems to be to make a misery for all. Parking impossible, boarded up shops, and a lack of care and maintenance.
Pubs closing, idiotic petty rules everywhere…I’m amazed anybody still wants to visit.
Here’s a rare cheerful snippet from Germany, showing Ethnic Europeans at their best:
Klaus Arminius on X: “A Scotsman lost his iPhone and these Germans found it, they took a selfie and hand it over to the police. Normally phones that are lost are found in Morocco, Algeria or some African country. https://t.co/viwJijNIwH” / X
Let’s see if I lived in Alabama would I want to visit London? I realise that crime exists everywhere, but when was Alabama last in the news for Palestinian Marches, Pitched Machete battles in broad daylight, gangs marauding with knives and guns, a multicultural clutter of disparate groups not integrating, sex crimes and women not feeling safe etc etc etc? ——-Oh but maybe they will feel safe that people are being arrested for being offensive on their laptop
Nothing to do with our shocking summer weather then ?
Britain has certainly lost its attractiveness: overcrowded, expensive and most of the big cities seem to have picked up a certain shabby, slightly menacing atmosphere. I can’t put my finger on what it is, it’s just something that makes you feel uncomfortable.
I have to say though that I had the same feelings in Paris as well the last time I was there.
“most of the big cities seem to have picked up a certain shabby, slightly menacing atmosphere.”
I agree. And the towns in the North West are similarly afflicted.
Britain is also becoming an economically and socially failing state. The unfettered immigration is changing our country into nowhere land. No one wants to go to nowhere.
Except for thrill-seeking tourists from North Africa who pay thousands for the excitement of a trip across the Channel from France by giant inflatable ferries.
Sadly, they can only afford a one-way ticket but not a problem as the inflatables only go one-way.
But what the hell. A holiday is a holiday and it is a holiday of a lifetime or indeed some hope for a lifetime [and not just Christmas, although it seems most don’t celebrate Christian festivals].
Oops – am I going to get banged up in chokey for a couple of years for those remarks?
“Visit Britain ….. the roads are appalling; the trains are expensive and frequently on strike; town centres look like a wasteland; eating-out costs a fortune; the weather’s unpredictable, but usually bad and to top it up, in London and other cities there’s a very good chance you’ll be robbed or stabbed.”
I wouldn’t want to visit London, or a great many other places. It’s OK down here in the west country, which is mostly still recognisably England, but I wouldn’t go anywhere near Bournemouth which is rapidly sliding down into the multi-culti hellhole which has already ruined so many other cities, or Bristol.
It seems not even London’s Mayor likes London.
He feels unsafe here.
And that is despite travelling around in a bomb-proof armoured car with armed close protection.
And it is his job to make sure we all feel safe.
I wonder how he will spin that achievement on his CV?
He claims he does not feel safe as muslim in London.
I am not sure why with all the rate-payer’s money spent on his security.
And that is necessary not because of his religion [which I understand he does not observe nor practice] but because he is so unpopular as a politician with downright crooked ULEZ money-making scheme and other policies so unfair to poor working class white and other peoples.
However, judging by the machete and knife-wielding muslim rioters who have free rein in Birmingham he should resign and stand as Mayor of that great British city safe in the knowledge that his muslim brethren are there to keep him safe from the Far White rioters.
NB ‘Far White’ is not a typographical error. It is not an error at all.
Starmer must really clamp down on the Far White. There are far too many of them, making up about 80% of the population.
They should go back to where they came from.
Erm, what do you mean – they come from here? Are you sure?
I was born in London and worked in the CoL until we moved away over 40 years ago – from what is happening nowadays it was a good move!
