Can we please, please never, ever do this again anywhere? We need to advocate hard for no absolution for either of the anti-democratic war criminal sides, show solidarity with the resistance committees and demand of our governments that democracy is the only acceptable way forward.

Really unforgivable this, whether we are doing it for trade relations with the gulf, US empire, or the convenience of working with elites and centralised power structures.

Is this true? If so, the version aired really couldn't have been catered more towards white supremacists. NB the "Free Palestine" speech also referenced Nigeria, Sudan, Congo and refugees.

Same. It was long overdue.
