  • The connection between Israel and the entirety of jewish people is zionist at best and antisemitic itself at worst.

    Not all jewish people have a connection, let alone are in favour of Israel, nor has Israel any right to speak for all jewish people. Add to that, that the current far-right israeli government is not supported by or representative of all israeli citizens and maybe you can see why not all criticism of Israel or its current government is antisemitic, although a lot of antisemitism likes to hide behind criticism of Israel and the current israeli government.

    In the same way it’s absolutely possible to be antisemitic and still support the current israeli government as well as funding Israel.

    If the current US government are Nazis or if the more broad term of Fascists should apply is debateable however, imho fascist is the more accurate term, if only because it has broader application for the very broad coalition of far-right authoritarians in the US.













  • Reads differently

    Looking ahead, most of the respondents expect current risks to persist, in particular the frequency of extreme weather events, and the unpredictability of how the Russian invasion of Ukraine will evolve. Concerning the latter, risks are not only linked to the availability of imports, but also to ongoing price volatility both for inputs and commodities and to potential logistical restrictions in place. Several respondents anticipate no decline in food inflation in the coming months, as input and production costs are expected to stay up, thus keeping consumer prices high due to delayed price transmission between different stages of the food chain

    So there are concerns about the invasion and it’s driving food inflation.
