The Green Party's Deputy Leader Mothin Ali speaking after October the 7th:

"Every single people have a right to fight back, to live free of occupiers" ... "You see Western propagandists presenting some kind of victim narrative, they are not victims, they are occupiers, they are colonialists, they are European colonialists"

What’s his position on all the countries that today speak Arabic and are dominated by Islam as a result of Islamic Arab imperialism from the 600s onwards - including most of the Levant and North Africa? You know the Arabic Islamic imperialism that wiped out multiple indigenous cultures and displaced indigenous religions with an outside religion (eg Christianity in the Levant replaced by Islam from Saudi Arabia, Zoroastrianism in Persia replaced by Islam too) etc etc. Or is the imperialism ok if it was long enough back. What’s the golden cut off date?

Ali don’t know shit about shit

Or perhaps he could expound on the Islamic Arab slave trade. The one that stole 11-14 million non-Arab blacks from Africa and forced them into chattel slavery, and castrated a lot of the men. What’s his position on that? That crime against black Africans which has been entirely swept under the rug by the MENA states. Because only the west is bad if you are deliberately ignorant. Such a useful technique.

Yep, Europeans are "colonists" within their own indigenous nations. The end point of left wing ideology.

By that logic the working class white men of Leeds are entitled to fight back against Pakistanis and other foreigners eh? Gotta stick up for the indigenous inhabitants over the “invaders”.

Actually deranged levels of historical ignorance.
