The Left’s Defence of Hamas’s Brutal Attack as Resistance Against an ‘Apartheid State’ is “False and Grotesque”

by Will Jones
11 October 2023 4:30 PM

Just when you thought that parts of the Left couldn’t sink any lower in their response to Hamas’s brutal assault in Israel, along comes Yanis Varoufakis defending it as resistance against an ‘apartheid state’ – a comparison as false as it is grotesque, writes Normal Lewis in Spiked. Here’s an excerpt.

The black masses’ often brutalising struggle against Apartheid, which cost the lives of thousands, was never about violence as an end in itself. It was about the pursuit of the political ideals of democracy and freedom.

The contrast between the struggle against Apartheid and Hamas’s war with Israel could hardly be starker. This weekend, Hamas carried out a pogrom against Jewish civilians. As Daniel Ben-Ami highlights, Hamas is not a national-liberation movement engaged in trying to free Palestine. It’s an antisemitic death cult, hell-bent on eliminating all Jews in the quest for an international Islamic order. There is not one iota of democratic idealism in Hamas’s make-up.

In equating Hamas with Umkhonto, Yanis Varoufakis and his fellow cheerleaders not only arrogantly malign the sacrifices of South Africa’s black masses. They also perpetuate a damaging falsehood about Israel, which helps to isolate the Jewish state globally – namely, that Israel is an apartheid state. That it is just like South Africa used to be.

This is simply untrue. Arabs in Israel can vote in elections and Arab parties sit in parliament. There are Arab justices on the Supreme Court and Arab doctors in the health service. Similar equality for black people in Apartheid South Africa would have been unthinkable.

Yes, Arabs do suffer discrimination over jobs, education and housing. And the Israeli state’s abuse of human rights should be condemned. There are grounds for a serious debate about Israel’s problematic policies towards Palestinians. But the comparison with Apartheid South Africa is grotesque.

Worth reading in full.

‘Mizzy’ shouldn’t be allowed near a mobile phone. He’s a danger to the public in an unarmed country. If he’d carried out his crimes in Texas, he’d have been dead and buried years ago. Schools are allowing this narcissistic behaviour and not helped by parents being kept at arm’s length. Assaults on teachers are in part because schools have locked out parents and there’s a deep suspicion about what is being taught to youngsters and how schools are deliberately forcing wedges between child and parent.

There’s only one way to sort this out: schools have to have massive servers installed and all classes need to be recorded with picture and sound and made available to parents and pupils. That way, parents can have access to what their children are being taught and how the class is being disciplined; and pupils can use the recordings to check up on things they were taught in that class, if they missed any notes. It would effectively end any claims being made by malicious pupils and it would ensure teachers similarly behave themselves.

Most importantly, the state’s pernicious, controlling influence needs removing from the education system. Education vouchers would allow parents to select the type of schools they want their children to attend. If leftist parents want their children taught that there are 70 billion genders, they can do send them to such a school. If parents want their child to go to a traditional Catholic school they can use a voucher for that. And the voucher can be put towards a fee paying private school, if they choose.

PTAs need to be given more teeth so there’s greater parental input in schools. Allowing parents access to all lesson plans and teaching materials is essential. Peter Hitchens discussed just this yesterday in the Mail.

Well I think ”Mizzy” sounds like a female name, a name I’d call a cuddly toy or pet girl hamster, to be exact. In fact, looking at the picture, I actually thought he was a female. Anyway, I’m not here to talk about attention-seeking little scrotes that should be put in the stocks and pelted with the contents of everybody’s compost bins, I’m here to share a new study about how the clot shots screw up a person’s immune system. Yes, another one to add to the collection. I also note one of the authors is our Dr William Makis over in Canada who does a very good Substack. An abstract excerpt;

”As the immunity provided by these vaccines rapidly wanes, their ability to prevent hospitalization and severe disease in individuals with comorbidities has recently been questioned, and increasing evidence has shown that, as with many other vaccines, they do not produce sterilizing immunity, allowing people to suffer frequent re-infections. Additionally, recent investigations have found abnormally high levels of IgG4 in people who were administered two or more injections of the mRNA vaccines. HIV, Malaria, and Pertussis vaccines have also been reported to induce higher-than-normal IgG4 synthesis. Overall, there are three critical factors determining the class switch to IgG4 antibodies: excessive antigen concentration, repeated vaccination, and the type of vaccine used.

It has been suggested that an increase in IgG4 levels could have a protecting role by preventing immune over-activation, similar to that occurring during successful allergen-specific immunotherapy by inhibiting IgE-induced effects. However, emerging evidence suggests that the reported increase in IgG4 levels detected after repeated vaccination with the mRNA vaccines may not be a protective mechanism; rather, it constitutes an immune tolerance mechanism to the spike protein that could promote unopposed SARS-CoV2 infection and replication by suppressing natural antiviral responses. Increased IgG4 synthesis due to repeated mRNA vaccination with high antigen concentrations may also cause autoimmune diseases, and promote cancer growth and autoimmune myocarditis in susceptible individuals.”

Yes this IgG4 just will not go away, it is significant. More and more research showing the same thing. Not just that but real world evidence too. We all know people who just pick up everything going and are constantly ill with something going around. And I see the UK has just approved clot shots for ”high risk” 0 – 4yr old tots. Grim. 🙁

Sadly Mogs there is a prior example that TPTB don’t give a damn about the data or the evidence. AIDS was a trial run for harmful treatments, fearmongering, asymptomatic carriers of disease, medics giving up on patients as though they were the living dead & pursuing a death protocol, all hope of recovery taken away from patients & trashing the reputation of any medic or scientist who dared to question the dogma.
Guess which odious individual was in charge in the US of this murderous agenda? Guess which ‘diagnostic’ test was used to further the fear porn….

I’ve come by the odd study or two regarding this but didn’t share here because I just thought, considering the ridiculous amount of adverse side-effects released by Pfizer ( how many pages were there again?? ), isn’t it just safe and accurate to say that these death jabs basically cause any and every disease and disorder under the sun? I mean, it’s true isn’t it? It’d be far quicker to name any disorder known to modern medicine that they *don’t* have a direct or indirect hand in causing. This shouldn’t be surprising now we know more about how the LNPs travel everywhere, don’t get degraded and eliminated by the body and there appears to be no off-switch for spike expression. I suppose we just have to hope our loved ones got the degraded, not so toxic batches.

He (Muzzy) needs a strong father figure to give him a good hiding, but I don’t doubt such a figure, if he ever existed, chose to do a runner many years ago.

It seems to me he is not some gangsta and is picking soft targets. If he misjudges he could be executed on the spot or end up in a wheelchair as you suggest.

We are turning into a latter day version of “Lord of the Flies”. ——To the Liberal Progressive, discipline and punishment are dirty words. They think they can socially engineer crime away. The cretinous goon featured above is a product of their failed experiment.

I was once threatened by a large and very aggressive parent for reprimanding his obnoxious child, who had been hitting other kids and generally disrupting the class – in 1981. But back then, I stood my ground and the Head supported me: fat chance of that these days. (The little git was eventually expelled for persistent violence – that wouldn’t happen these days either.)

I’m pretty much to the right of the right of Genghis Khan on most things, but my reactions watching the Morgan/Mizzy interview are:

  1. Morgan is phony moralizer. It comes through here and is consistent with his conformist stance on lockdowns and vaccines.
  2. Mizzy states openly why he continues to do what he does – because he gets away with it in a weak society.
  3. Mizzy is highly intelligent and rather articulate behind the non-stop patois. He’s like an unruly horse that needs curbing by a strong trainer, aka a father.
  4. He’s a gutsy, driven adolescent who hasn’t yet empathy for his victims. Many young males are a slightly toned down version of that. I was for sure.
  5. The correct policy response is to recognize the family as the bedrock of society – mother, father, children; to disincentivize and deprecate divorce, abortion, single parenthood; to maximize sporting and work chances for the young, yes especially for young males; and to get the government the hell out of the role of parent.
  6. Between Morgan and Mizzy, I prefer Mizzy. Were he my son, he’d do great.

Which is why the cabal have been so hell bent on destroying that bedrock of society – makes their implementation of their evil agenda so much easier.

Welcome to America. Welcome to the future. Any rich/educated/”intellignet” person voting for mass immigration, depolicing, lenient sentences, the destruction of the family and of European civilisation is a traitor and deserves to have their comfortable existence/gated community overrun with thugs.

I’ve seen plenty of p1ss poor parenting over the years but I don’t remember any native white British people invading other peoples homes and live-streaming it on social media.

This is an incoming population demonstrating that they have no respect for the country that’s welcomed them.

Most of our major cities are now unliveable because we have subsidised our own colonisation.

Pleading “I’ve got kids” eventually isn’t going to be enough. We either need an armed population or we’ll go the way of South Africa.

There is a video on Hugo Talks showing Mizzy is a professional actor. His agency page was removed a couple of days before the story broke. Might be relevant to the Online Harms Bill… Main stream media all singing from the same hymn sheet yet again.
