And well done to Zack for challenging Phillips smear that 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' is antisemitic

This is a massive vindication for those who fought Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people - which is facilitated by our government.

But we should also fear those who use either real terrorism or bogus claims about terrorism to boost their own powers, restrict our freedoms and corrode our democracy.
