In other words you "forcefully" denounce white nationalists while running cover for the people crafting their ideology.
Richard Hanania@RichardHanania

@SashaGusevPosts I forcefully denounce white nationalism. But “humans should be healthier and smarter” isn’t politics any more than the idea that rape or murder is wrong.

when I first saw Rowling talking about it she had presented it in a way which was prima facia contradictory but when you look into what was actually said the meaning was plain... But this quote doesn't even need more context to be plainly intelligable and obviously true

Like this for example. It's being taken to be this big bombshell moment. It's just obviously true.

İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
Famine in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels. The Netanyahu government has intensified the famine during ceasefire negotiations, using mass starvation as leverage to force Hamas into concessions. People in Gaza are literally dying of famine as you read this.

There is obviously a difference between prejudices faced by people who are visibly from a discriminated against group (there are also just specific differences in discriminations faced) but that wasn't what she said in that letter.

Like she compared the racism Jews (and grt people) experience to that of people with red hair, the comparison was stupid and didn't even remotely approach the point she is making here.

Peston is wrong here in saying "it's neither here not there" it's very relevant. but Dianne is rewriting history here as well about what she actually said. The example she used was not one of a non visible difference it was of red hair.
Ash Sarkar@AyoCaesar

So, are we meant to all pretend that people with visible ethnic differences don't experience racism differently from those who appear to be white? That's gonna be the Labour line?

Ignore the framing here but Miller is actually right about bastani and this story. It's funny though. Miller often doesn't have a problem with collaboration with the far right so long as they say the right things about Israel.
David Miller@Tracking_Power

Novara Media is not content merely with shilling 'antisemitism' smears recycled from the Zionist Ministry of Strategic Affairs, as it did throughout the Corbyn years. Nor with shilling for the CIA's 'Women, Life, Freedom' regime change campaign in the largest remaining anti-imperialist power, the Islamic Republic of Iran, as they did shamelessly two years ago, joining in an orgy of CIA-led Islamophobic propaganda. Nor with getting supporters of Palestinian Resistance arrested and charged with terrorism offences, as Bastani infamously did during this genocide just last year. Now Novara is promoting a campaign by Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and his disciples to whip up a media frenzy about 'repression' of white British identity, using a patently manufactured piece of agitprop about a child radicalised into racism and imperialism wearing the Butcher's Apron to school. This is now not just about Bastani seeking gigs on GB TV and elsewhere among the far-right. He has been actively attempting to transform Novara's audience, and not on issues where there should be convergence between the anti-imperialist Left and the anti-war Right, such as tackling Zionism (as there is in the US but not in Europe). Instead Bastani seeks to propagandise to his liberal audience far-right ideas about race, imperialism and immigration — not explaining these ideas for the purpose of challenging them, but to legitimise them. Are his equally guilty colleagues who have caused the scandals noted above in any position to rein him in? After all, Sarkar was frothing to have anti-Zionists expelled from the Labour Party; Rivkah Brown baselessly accused prominent critics of Zionism on the Left of sexual harassment to help the State of Israel; and Michael Walker enthusiastically pushed the CIA's 'Women, Life, Freedom' hoax. Novara Media is just as irretrievable as any 'New Left' party would be under the Zionist Corbyn and the Syria regime change supporter Sultana. It's time for a new media for a different politics.

David miller is just a madlibs nazi
David Miller@Tracking_Power

For decades, some self-professed 'anti-Zionist Jews' have sought to diminish and divert attention away from Zionist entryism, subversion and penetration of other polities (an essential Zionist tactic since the ideology's inception). This is explicitly aimed at guarding Jewish supremacism, and at censoring the study or understanding of Zionism, using accusations of 'antisemitism' in order to aggressively police any curiosity about Zionist tactics and the Jewish supremacist beliefs that underlie them. In order to force leftists and others away from examining or discussing Jewish supremacism, some self-professed 'anti-Zionist Jews' paint Zionism as purely the product of British imperialism. The aim is to minimise Jewish culpability for Zionism, even sometimes going so far as to say that Zionism was invented entirely by atheists who worked hand in glove with the British Empire. These are, to put it mildly, egregious deceptions, and anyone falling for them is a naïf. Zionism is an imperialist ideology in its own right, with global ambitions. The fact that Zionists have been involved in engineering separatist movements in Sudanese and Somali territory; or in subverting elections in Argentina and Brazil; or cultivating Hindutvadi footsoldiers who have a global footprint, has nothing to do with US or British Empire. No Brit or American forced Jewish supremacists to take any of these actions, or made them genocide the Levant. This outdated, limited and deeply immature understanding of Zionism is a sign of two disturbing phenomena: (1) the increasing grip that faulty leftist thinking about Zionism — itself the product of propaganda seeded by Jewish Zionist leftists — is now taking in Muslim communities, and (2) a complete failure to recognise that we are in a new imperial reality, in which previously sub-imperial powers now act with much more latitude than they have ever had before. The State of Israel is not alone in this. Its major ally the UAE, which has traditionally been perceived as a British and then US vassal, has been acting much more independently since 2010, attempting to establish its own lines of power amounting to a proto-empire, leveraging mercenaries, shipping, trade, lobbying and subversion, propaganda and finance capital to build a power base that is not reliant either on the US or UK. If one understands that Zionists have been shaping British policy for over a century, one should naturally ask: "What tactics were used to do that?". And then "why were/are those tactics necessary?". Today, the State of Israel is by far a net liability for the British state. There is a vast political, media, military and financial infrastructure designed to obscure that reality but also to punish anyone with power who might point that out or act upon that reality. #DismantleZionism

I have my issues with Palestine action which I won't get into here but they're not fucking terrorists. And it's incredibly alarming to see the government crack down on them in this way.

From the Court of protection handbook (of all things such a handbook ought to be less incoherent about the nature of harms and interventions)

Medicine involves harm! Routinely! Law involves harm! Again, Routinely! To pretend one can have medicine or law without harm ends up downplaying harms that will inevitably exist.

An example of why "first do no harm" is actually a shitty and incoherent principle and not actually an important principle of medicine (or probably law as it happens)
