Boycott all Israeli academics (except for Arab
Israelis of course)

Freedom of speech
|
Freedom of speech is sacrosanct and universal
|
No platform for Zionists, no platform for
‘Islamaphobes’, in fact no platform for anybody we don't agree with.
|
Antisemitism

Antisemitism, like Islamaphobia, must always be
condemned
|
The Zionists control America. The Zionists
control the media, The Zionists control the world banking system, etc

|
Immigration and freedom of
movement
|
There should be no international borders – every
person has a right to live wherever they want
|
Not a single Jew has a right to live in their
historic homeland
|
Eviction
|
Evicting any person from their home – even if
they have lived there for a matter of hours is a crime against humanity
|
Every Jew living in Israel, including those who
are over a hundred and have never lived anywhere else, must be forcibly
‘returned’ to Poland or Germany
|
Ethnic cleansing
|
Attempts to resettle two Arab families illegally
squatting in Jewish owned buildings in Jerusalem is ethnic cleansing and must
be stopped.
|
All 600,000 Jews who live on the “West Bank” who
paid for their land and houses must be forcibly removed.
|
Racism
|
Any oppression of people because of their race,
colour, or religion is a crime against humanity and must be aggressively
confronted wherever it occurs
|
Muslim oppression of Jews and Christians is a
natural reaction to the crimes of the West; muslim oppression of blacks and other
non-Muslims is just a natural cultural phenomenon
|
Gay rights
|
Any discrimination of people because of their
sexual orientation is a crime against humanity and must be aggressively
confronted
|
Opposing the death penalty for gays in Muslim countries
is a colonialist attitude that shows a racist insensitivity to traditional
Muslim culture.

destroyed

Capital Punishment
|
Must be universally banned. No government ever
has the right to take a life no matter how serious the crime.
|
The fact that Muslim countries like Iran hang hundreds
of people each day (mostly political prisoners) has nothing to with us –
those criminals were probably really evil child murderers or even worse - Zionist collaborators
|
Forced Conformity
|
Forcing people to dress in a particular way is a
crime against freedom and humanity
|
People who complain about women being forced to
wear the burka are racist Islamaphobes
|
War generally
|
The ultimate horror and always to be avoided at
all costs
|
We are all Hezbollah, We are all Hamas. Bomb
Israel!
|
Weapons
|
All weapons everywhere in the world should be
made illegal and destroyed
|
We must arm Hamas, Hezbollah as they are freedom
fighting heroes
|
Armed intervention in other
countries
|
We must never intervene - if we do they (the Muslims) will have every
right to hate us and terrorise us
|
We must organize a UN force to stop any kind of
violence against Muslims by non-Muslims.
|
The right to self defence
|
Israel and the West has no right to self-defence
against acts of terrorism
|
Muslim acts of terrorism are always valid acts of
self-defence
|
Religion
|
Religion is the opium of the masses. It should be
ridiculed and banned
|
All aspects of Islam must be respected
|
Impact of Religion
|
Religion causes wars

Basically.
Great post, Edgar! The hypocrisy of the Left never ceases to surprise and disgust, with of course special mention of the oh-so-silent feminists among them.

Thanks - and thanks also for the link to this

Wrong. Not 'every leftist' Not this one, for a start. I am as 'leftist' atheist and secular as they come and, for that very reason, totally reject all the assertions in the right hand column, as do many other 'letists'. Unless, of course, one adopts the tautology that 'leftists' are to be defined by agreement with the same column. However it is certainly the case that many on the left (and the right) would like us to forget that Israel was created and fought for by 'leftists', against the forces of Arab/Islamic clerical fascism. A (Jewish) 'leftist' once famously described religion as 'the opium the people' Now we can add, 'and Islam is the poison'.
To Anonymous who rejects all the assertions in the right hand column:
Sadly you in a small minority of leftists now (or at least of leftists who dominate the media and academia). Obviously there is some stuff there that is little 'artistic license' in how I phrased the statements, but in the main those views are all essentially held by main stream left wing people like Guardian writers and readers.
I laughed at this....yet sadly it is utterly true. Leftism is and always has been a creed of hypocrisy. Leftism is also a matter of fashion. Israel had (many decades ago) been a 'fashionable' leftist cause. Due to mass immigration of muslims to the West and their influence.....leftism as a movement is now a weapon against Israelis. In truth it is much worse...leftism is against Jewish people....and Christians too!
If the tide of immigration from islamic countries continues.....this is very very bad news for Israel.
What an absolutely hysterical, hyperbolic and ultimately plain wrong post. I've been around my fair share of leftists and absolutely none of them believe in 'Zionists control the media' or whatever other crap you've pinned up. It seems to me that what you've attempted to do is take typical extreme right wing, white nationalist views and try to portray them as silly, dumb liberal views. That's typical of a white-hating leftie such as this author.
You've also gone and pulled out of your ass the notion that wanting to leave Iran the f*ck alone is 'leftism', and not just common sense. Iran fear-mongering sounds like leftist whining to me. "Waaaah, Ahmedinejad is a NAZI HOLOCAUST DENIER!". I guess the author just wants to forget how leftists and Communists have a history of being Jew-lovers and the ones behind Holocaust propaganda.
You're also trying to portray Jews as some higher tier of being equatable to the European, that leftists love blackies and muzzies in spite of whitey and the Jew, when in reality leftists are the first at the defense of the poor, persecuted Jew. Jews are not white. Jews are not closely tied to Christians or Europeans. Jews do not form part of the blockade combating Islamic Jihad & multiculturalism. Jews don't have a history of conservatism, and no matter how loud you screech out 'LEFTIST' at everybody who disagrees with you, it won't change the fact that Israel has a massive, inherent leftist and socialist backing.
Pew Polls and other statistics show that in America there isn't much difference in belief in the left/right spectrum, only around 20-30%, and considering this is a country that still practices circumcision for non-therapeutic reasons, that's not a lot compared to Europe where it's around 50/50 left and right. Also, the Republicans care more about the conflict than Democrats.
From my personal experience, Israel has a very large leftist backing including the leftist PC media.
Also, around 80% of Jews in America are leftist democrat voters themselves. Oops, you've made yourself look rather silly there.
Support Israel: Barack Obama, George Bush, Joe Biden, Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, Julia Gillard, Pamela Geller, Bill Maher, Pat Condell
Oh look, they're all leftists!
Criticize Israel: David Duke, Pat Buchanan, Ron Paul, Scott McConnell, Peter Hitchens (to an extent), Nick Griffin, Ramz Paul, Theodore Dalrymple
Oh look, they're all conservative!

Where did this false belief of Israel's opposition being 'leftists' come from? You could swear that less than a decade ago it was the leftists swooning in to defend the innocent, holocausted Jews from their neo-Nazi racist oppressors!
It's a tragic delusion and hilarious propaganda tactic to keep the true, inherent leftists that are pro-Israel with the belief that their opposition is just a bunch of whiny libtards, when the reality is the opposite.
--
Next up from the author: Hitler and the Nazis were leftists, white nationalists are leftists, holocaust deniers are leftists, everybody who opposes my Communist world view is a leftist because I said so.
So this entire blog is basically just one wailing incoherent strawman, tu quoque, false equivalency, ad hominem, appeal to emotion and false dichotomy rolled into one. It doesn't even reflect reality - the 'Zionist' conspiracies are usually reserved for right wing, White Nationalist groups. I've never in my life seen a leftist who believes Jews control the media, or who supports Iran.
Edgar, you sound like a crying liberal yourself. You even have a MLK quote at the top. I hope you live in Israel because Marxist, anti-West immigrants like you should be deported.
Hey, I made my own version based on real life as opposed to your Jewish-Marxist delusions. I hope you like it.
