We sometimes fall into the trap of thinking that only a certain type of person can be racist, or have supremacist urges that they try to impose on to others – like little wannabe dictators from bygone eras.
Simon Schama falls into the latter – he believes, like so many Zionist extremists believe, that the phrase “river to the sea” should only be interpreted as the way they interpret it:
I know from speaking to people who say โriver to the seaโ, that it means different things to them, to what Schama is saying it means to him.
And for him to force his interpretation upon others, is frankly the kind of thing those who say it for Palestine, want to free themselves from; โwhite” supremacy.
His interpretation is not more superior or accurate than theirs – many phrases and words have different meanings to different people.
And so, why should they stop saying that phrase just because he and his ilk interpret it as something bad for them – when the Palestinians and their supporters interpret it as something good for them; Palestinian freedom and rights.
Schama and his ilk need to stop trying to impose their views and interpretations on others, itโs not the way civilised humans behave.
We have often argued this: that seemingly normal, rational and intelligent people, turn into extremist, radicalised, irrational ghouls when it comes to the question of Israel and Palestine.
Schama also recently joined the bandwagon of Zionist extremists who began “piling on” to Charlotte Church, and began to attack and harass her in a co-ordinated way – after she spoke up in support of Palestinians.
The modus operandi for Zionist extremists is clear, in how they attack Palestine supporters – they falsely make it about Jews and Israel – rather than acknowledge it for what it really is; support for Palestinian rights.
It works wonders, well it did, until recently, I would say. People know the tricks far better now than they used to even in the recent past.
Schama tries the same tricks here:
He falsely makes it about Israel, and plays on the victimhood card to garner sympathy.
Charlotte Church is one of our most loved artists – adored by millions – but that doesn’t stop Zionist extremists like Schama attempting to smear her, by misrepresenting what she said and what she stands for. Misrepresenting to a degree that it is a simply a lie – he is liar when he says Charlotte Church called “for the annihilation of Israel”.
Below is the full clip of what Charlotte Church said:
Extremism, lies and fabrications do immense harm to societal cohesion and unity in Britain.
We will keep exposing and calling out those who play this ghastly, pernicious game. We believe the British public and the wider world have a right to know.
We will be writing to Mr Schama for a response.
