"What started as support for Palestine has been hijacked by the far left."
These marches may have begun as a show of solidarity with civilians caught in conflict, but it's increasingly clear they've been co-opted by radical elements with a very different agenda.
We’re seeing:
Open calls for the destruction of Israel, not peace.
Chants and banners with hard-left, anti-capitalist, and often anti-Western rhetoric.
A focus that has shifted from humanitarian concern to political ideology — with socialism, decolonization, and anti-police narratives now dominating the conversation.
Let’s be honest: this isn’t just about Palestine anymore. It's a broader vehicle for far-left activism, and many who genuinely care about innocent lives are being drowned out or used as cover for more extreme voices.
You can support peace and condemn civilian suffering without aligning with those who celebrate terrorism, push Marxist ideology, or hate everything about the West. |  | | |  |

The bias inherent in the education system is made clear by the fact that you can't move for lessons about Nazi Germany, but there's not a word about the crimes of the Soviet Union.
Totalitarianism is the same no matter what side of the political fence you sit on, and education should reflect that. |
I’ve just read that report.
I’m not one for hyperbole but that’s the biggest load of rubbish ever shared on this forum IMO.
I then checked myself and thought maybe it’s because I only know the English National curriculum so I looked up the Welsh one for History:

1 unit on Nazi Germany and 1 on the Soviet Union.
Equal weight given. | | | |

If it wasn't for the Russians is and the Yanks would never have defeated the Germans. Nazi crimes were on a different level to any others | | | |

You probably won't bother to read this article as it's written by a Conservative but it rings true in my experience, discussions with other parents etc..
50% of teachers polled voted for Corbyn in 2019. To suggest that there isn't a left-wing bias in the teaching profession is daft. Of course it's not on the official curriculum but looking at the new Labour approved head of Ofsted I can see it getting worse.

That's a great piece of misrepresentation though isn't it?
They didn't vote for Corbyn per se they voted for a realistic alternative to the government that had been responsible for a decade of austerity. Austerity they'd been at the front end of. They may well have been no more left wing than Ken Clarke.
They may have thought Corbyn was a moron because he is, but less of a moron than Boris Johnson. I can't disagree with that . | | | |

You seem to have forgotten Russia and Germany were on the same side they both invaded Poland. Stalin killed more Russians than Hitler did.
After Hitler invaded Russia it would not have survived without all the tanks, planes etc that the USA and the UK sent via the artic convoy
You are right the Crimes committed by Stalin and Hitler were on a different scale. | |

The education system has most definitely done a job on you |  | | |

One thing that has affected perceptions is that the phrase is in the 2018 Hamas Charter. |
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free...seems self explanatory. It doesn't say Israel will be involved. I suppose it depends on who you support or want to win as to how you unterpret the words. Someone called it an Israelu myth but if they truly believe it means the destruction of their country then who can argue? Well a few undoubtedly will.
Personally I don't know how anyone can take sides over what's happening in Gaza, they both have been wrong and thry both still are wrong. Until they can both see that, there will be NO satisfactory solution.
The rest of the world hasn't really helped. Because the USA backed Israel, Europe was too scared to say what needed to be said. Now Europe is being more forthright but it's too late.
people hailed Trump as a peacemaker
~ but in Gaza he hasn't brought peace and in Ukraine he hasn't brought peace but in both cases he has enabled deayh and destruction.
Putin doesn't want an end to the war and Netanyahu won't stop until he's cleared Gaza and put Israeli settlers in instead.
Maybe it could have been different but we will never know. | | | |
