and was my first thought on Shy's thread below. If they get away with this, I don't know. Some commentators have made podcasts with the "end of xxxrael" type of theme but it seems they have complete immunity from any kind of sanction for any kind of crime and their control of western political elites seems to be getting stronger and they are constantly expanding their territory. It seems like wishful thinking more and more. Nightmare is right.

The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide.
Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.

Cenk and Hasan barred from entering the UK. Guess what they both have in common?

They both speak against genocide...

https://x.com/ggreenwald/status/2061227896597819833

Note that the UK Government just banned entry of two American citizens -- @cenkuygur
and @hasanthehun
-- not because they criticized or worked against the interests of the UK.

It was solely because they criticize and oppose the one country deemed sacred and off-limits in the UK and so many other wester countires: Israel.

The UK under Labour is also regularly arresting its own citizens for peacefully protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza (including old British ladies and countless Jewish activists at these protests, though they remain free to protest *in favor* of Israel or against any other country).

This is all driven by the same dynamic that caused the Trump Admin -- as one of its very earliest top priorities last year -- to force US universities to expel American students protesting Israel, to deport others who merely criticized Israel, and to implement aggressive speech codes to protect Israel from common criticisms (even though one is free to say all the same things about any other country, including the US).

Why does this one small country command such special, elevated, supreme status and attention in so many western countries? It's way past time to give that question the attention it deserves and to finally put and end to it.

If only...

They really do enjoy insulting our intelligence, don't they?

Their barring has absolutely nothing to do with their criticism of Israel?
Oh just get tae fuck, you putrid poltroons.

BadEmpanada: The fact that Mohammed El-Kurd was allowed in but not Cenk Uygur or Hasan Piker makes

the game clear:
they want to bring attention to centrists and frame them as radicals.

Actual radicals are being allowed to speak no problem, but they'll get no
attention.

Wasn,t Uygur fully behind the banning of anything and everything pro-Russian over his support for Ukraine?Ouanqueur.

To be quite clear,the Ouanqueur being him,of course, not you

Not a fan of Cenk (even less of Dore) but the principle is the point

This habit of "didn't x say y or do z?", "yes", "ok, then we don't need to worry about x being done to them" is why "the left" never gets anywhere. At the same time as thinking grifters like Candace Owens and dangerous enemies like Carlson are ok because they say the right thing on certain topics.

They have clearly been denied entry because of their speaking out on the Gaza genocide and criticism of the apartheid state. That's the point.

I suspect it was also a sop to the frothing right as evidenced by Morrisey's post above from GB News celebrating their ban.

The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide.
Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.

it looks like a publicity stunt

particularly because Uyghur isn't a lefty, he's the lackey of a US billionaire. The silly season has begun.

I saw all those clips at the time; no longer pay any attention to Dore. Publicity stunt for whom?

The government colluded with Cenk to boost TYT? No. They stopped them coming in because of what they've said about Gaza. That is (still) the point. I know all about TYT, but again, that's not the point.

The gatekeepers are working on it:
