  • I absolutely agree that it isn’t a local council’s place to dictate foreign policy. I’d also argue it isn’t the place of any UK party to declare exclusive support for a single state solution, that decision is for the people born on the land themselves.

    The point I’m getting at is that if a party’s position is antiracism, and also that thing X is racist, I don’t understand why they would want to work with a party who supports thing X.

    For example, I cannot see Labour or Greens making formal power sharing agreements with Reform, even if just to get the bins collected.

    Why is this different?

    Forced assumilation is recognised as one of the five acts of genocide.

    The creation of a single state via anything other than a peaceful and democratic union and merger of two states is genocide. It doesn’t matter if it’s Israel or Palestine.

    Given we don’t have a time machine, any viable solution must acknowledge that generations of people have been born in those lands, and as humans they have the same fundamental rights.

    There is a world of difference between condemning the actions of a far right government, and advocating for the deconstruction of a nation state as if that was an achievable outcome in 2026.

    As with a United Ireland, while a peaceful multifaith unification is absolutely the most desirable end state, pretending this is achievable while people on both sides of the border don’t want “them” to part of “us” is at best a display of profound ignorance.

    There have been generations of people born within what is now called Israel and Palestine since 1947, suggesting either “don’t belong” will not bring a lasting peace.

    We must aim for better than total dominance by one, achieved through the removal of the other, no matter which way around.

    The solution to a genocide is not another genocide.
