I agree with the latter point. Your former point would carry more weight had the left not been consistently anti-Israel for decades.

I'd never seen myself as anti-Israel but I'm definitely anti-bombing kids.

Is there anyone here who isn't?

Having taken student groups to Auschwitz on multiple occasions and seen and felt it’s indelible impact (Birkenau even more so in some ways) I find what they are doing in Gaza unconscionable. That aside, just on a purely objective basis, they are also just multiplying the future generational threats they will face.

It's war. War is generally unconscionable.

Reversing from what?

Anti-semitism is at a 40 year high in the UK. It wasn’t just the far right in the 1930s-40s, and it isn’t just the anti colonialists on the Left now.
