Analysis | Netanyahu Is No Longer Israel's Legitimate Prime Minister

The blue and white-washing behind Israeli calls for 'democracy'
The obsessive focus on the Israeli flag within the current anti-government protest movement shows its goal is simply to preserve the apartheid status quo.

NUS opens conference with antisemitism apology after damning report
Student union leadership apologised for the 'truly shocking' Jew-hatred and said they are 'genuinely, truly sorry that it has taken us so long to address antisemitism head-on'

The National Union of Students (NUS) has opened its national conference with an apology to Jewish students following the damning independent report into antisemitism published earlier this year.

At its annual meeting of delegates representing students across the UK, the leadership of the student organisation apologised for the "truly shocking" Jew-hatred detailed by Rebecca Tuck KC, adding that they are "genuinely, truly sorry that it has taken us so long to address antisemitism head-on".

The students leaders pledged to ensure that Jewish students "never have to fight this fight on your own again".

The national student body is meeting for a two-day conference in Harrogate this week, with students representing universities across the country attending to discuss the widespread challenges facing university students in the UK, notably the cost of living crisis.

But ahead of discussing those issues, Chloe Field, Vice President for Higher Education, and Nehaal Bajwa, Vice President for Liberation and Equality, stood up in front of delegates to address the findings of Rebecca Tuck's report that branded the student union a "hostile environment" for Jewish students.

The damning report (which can be read in full here) found that the NUS had consistently ignored and dismissed antisemitism, often demoting complaints because of bias over the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Ms Tuck detailed accounts from Jewish students who felt "reduced to being only 'the Jew' in the room" and that they were "treated as a pariah at NUS events".

Opening the conference, Ms Bajwa said: "[Rebecca Tuck's] findings were truly shocking and showed us what Jewish students have been saying and have known for a long time; that antisemitism is real and it is happening in NUS spaces as well as in student unions and wider student politics."

Ms Field, who is leading the organisation after Shaima Dallali was fired as president earlier this year, continued: "So, we really want to open conference today with a moment of accountability for NUS and a moment of humanity towards our Jewish friends and members.

"On behalf of NUS today and the past, I am genuinely, truly sorry that it has taken us so long to address antisemitism head-on. You have been let down by the very organisation that you should have been able to trust the most. My team and I will do everything that we can do to make sure that you never have to fight this fight on your own again."

https://twitter.com/nusuk/status/1635960735229411331?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1635960735229411331%7Ctwgr%5E905525af45d2522453281e350c99ee33721cd21c%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thejc.com%2Fnews%2Fnews%2Fnus-opens-conference-with-antisemitism-apology-after-damning-report-4iEt9A7gtoXzolEL1aH8wD%3FreloadTime%3D1678893870772

Ms Bajwa called on student leaders to join in the fight against antisemitism, and to examine their own organisations, groups chats, and organising groups to "figure out where it is and combat it as well."

Ms Field then said: "Let us say this to anyone in doubt: antisemitism is real and it is happening in student politics today. Antisemitism is an attack not just on Jewish people, but on all of us and the shared values we hold."

The NUS will be hosting a session later today about the report and to give students the opportunity to ask questions about it, and about the action plan, developed alongside the Union of Jewish Students (UJS), currently being implemented by the union's leadership.

UJS President Joel Rosen welcomed the apology, and tweeted: "A very different feel to the conference this year. Feel incredibly proud of the change we've collectively made and are making in the student movement.

"It is bittersweet as there are generations of Jewish students who didn't get to witness moments like these."

Rebecca Tuck's investigation into antisemitism was launched in May last year following outrage over historic posts by NUS president-elect Shaima Dallali and widespread allegations by Jewish students that antisemitism was endemic within the organisation.

Dallali was fired by the NUS in November after a months-long independent investigation into allegations of antisemitism found "significant breaches" of the union's policies. She is believed to have been the first president to have been sacked in the organisation's 100-year history.

In January, the report into antisemitism within the organisation as a whole found that it was a "hostile environment" for Jewish students, with heartbreaking accounts from Jewish students detailing the widespread scale of Jew-hatred.

The NUS itself described the 100-page report as "a detailed and shocking account of antisemitism" and has pledged to implement the KC's recommendations in full.

QuoteGeorg [György] Lukács
First published Mon Nov 4, 2013; substantive revision Thu Jan 18, 2018
Georg (György) Lukács (1885–1971) was a literary theorist and philosopher who is widely viewed as one of the founders of "Western Marxism". Lukács is best known for his pre-World War II writings in literary theory, aesthetic theory and Marxist philosophy. Today, his most widely read works are the Theory of the Novel of 1916 and History and Class Consciousness of 1923. In History and Class Consciousness, Lukács laid out a wide-ranging critique of the phenomenon of "reification" in capitalism and formulated a vision of Marxism as a self-conscious transformation of society. This text became an important reference point both for critical social theory and for many currents of countercultural thought. Even though his later work could not capture the imagination of the intellectual public as much as his earlier writings, Lukács remained a prolific writer and an influential theorist in his later career and published hundreds of articles on literary theory and aesthetics, not to mention numerous books, including two massive works on aesthetics and ontology. He was also active as a politician in Hungary in both the revolution of 1919 and during the events of 1956. Today, his work remains of philosophical interest not only because it contains the promise of a reformulation of an undogmatic, non-reductionist Marxism, but also because it connects a philosophical approach drawing on Neo-Kantianism, Hegel and Marx with an acute cultural sensitivity and a powerful critique of modern life inspired by Weber's and Simmel's sociological analyses of modern rationalization.
[...]
1. Biographical Notes
Georg Lukács was born on April 13, 1885 in Budapest as Bernát György Löwinger. His father, the influential banker József Löwinger, changed the Jewish family name to the Hungarian surname Lukács in 1890. In 1899, the family was admitted into the nobility. Already as a high school student, Lukács developed a keen interest in literature and especially drama, publishing numerous reviews of theater plays in the Hungarian press.

Of course, this is a sign of blatant "anti-semitism," isn't it?  After all, everybody must know and obey the sensitivities of the jews, and nothing like this can ever be accidental, and it must be an intentional act of "anti-semitism."   <:^0

It's not a matter of a poorly-paid overworked worker at Sainsbury's being given a bunch of passover signs and told to walk around the store and put them up.  That would never cross a jew's "mind."

But, what are the jews that are complaining about this doing in the pork section of the store, anyway?
