Re: BLM - an anti-Semitic movement?

Isn't it a reasonable criticism? Israel is one of the few modern states openly pushing colonialism. The idea that the Israel lobby doesn't have some influence over newspapers is naive, at best. Especially those in the USA. I think, for a lot of people, it's just too close to "Jews control the world...

Re: BLM - an anti-Semitic movement?

I can't say it's antisemitic, but alarm bells do go off when a lefty political organisation starts blasting Israel out of nowhere (and not worse countries) when it's not in their direct remit. If somebody on the right started ranting about Zionism controlling British politicians they'd be called a ...

It was good compared to other world cup finals. Engaging throughout and Kolbe scored the best RWC final try ever.

I'd rate it above 99, 2007 and maybe 2011.
