RAMZY BAROUD on how Israel’s narrative collides with military failure
AS HAS often been said, racists see the problems we face through the prism of race. Socialists should see these problems through the prism of class. It’s only by accepting this that we can truly challenge and defeat fascism and its bedfellow, racism.
This must be our key demand on today’s counter-demonstration in response to the protest called by Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, (aka Tommy Robinson) from his prison cell.
Let’s not forget he’s in prison for libelling a 15-year-old refugee at a school in Huddersfield, fined £100,000 plus legal costs. He breached an injunction and repeated the libel and was sentenced to 18 months in prison. He is not a political prisoner. He chose to repeatedly libel a child.
