Eventually, it will emerge that Hamas were in fact a targeting a renegade Jiahdist militia, funded by Israel to do their dirty work.
Yasser Abu Shabab leads one.
Until then, Israel will manufacture any pretext to resume its genocide, rewrite history and steal all the land 'From the River to the Sea'

Please don't fence us in with negatives.
We are Humanists, who by defintion endorse Human values.
Let the opposition decide how to be 'Anti-Human'.
Ditch the jargon.

Royal wealth is no more corrupt than any other billionaires.
The complete profit/charity/community-benefit audit of British companies would probably be more favourable to the Royal family than most.
Especially compared to the Pirates of Silicon Valley (U.S.A.) now industrially peddling child-abuse.

The 'criteria' are the problem. In fact, the elitist language in general, which drives the debate into obscure corners to be easily ambushed and shouted down.
A struggle between simple @Humanists and the rest would be more productive.
Everyone knows what @Humanism is without reading books.

Better an impotent Constitutional Monarchy than an Omnipotent Constitutional Dictatorship.

Don't paint yourselves into a rhetorical corner with negatives.
Just be HUMANISTS, and see who dares to negate Humanist values.

The Tory media's shift from hysterically claiming that Starmer *did* intervene in the China spy case to hysterically claiming that Starmer *should* have intervened in the China spy case is a thing to behold.

Let's start with language, which defines thought.
Meaningless gibberish like 'Left' and 'Right' are a gift to barbarians of all kinds. The substitution of 'radicalised' for 'fanaticised' is another.
Humanists should let the opposition decide how to oppose Human values.
