Quote from Sun Sport:
JAMIE Redknapp and Patrice Evra ditched the Black Lives Matter badges on Sky Sports last night after the movement's controversial statements criticising Israel.

The pair, along with host Kelly Cates and commentator Gary Neville, were not wearing the badges during the coverage of Brighton vs Manchester United.

Since the Premier League returned after lockdown on June 17, players have knelt before kickoff and had 'Black Lives Matter' patches on their sleeves.

It now appears the badges have been dropped by Sky Sports pundits after a series of tweets by the UK branch of Black Lives Matter - which criticised Israel and called on the government to "defund the police".
BLM being anti-Semitic. Who'd have thought it.

Re: Black Lives Matter

One would think insurrection in the homeland of the global hegemon would warrant a more prominent position.

Certainly more so than most of the stuff on the news.

*Political analysers would be interested in this in so far as it is an indication of geopolitical weakness or impending collapse.

Are you saying that really, they are just a bunch of far left activists/anarchists, the likes of which we have seen throughout the decades and they're just using the BLM banner to rally behind?

Who'd would've thought that eh?

Does the M in BLM now stand for Momentum?

Criticising Israel is not anti-semitic.

BJ criticised Netanyahu’s plans in an article today - does that make BJ anti-semitic?

So where have BLM criticised Israel. Criticising is one thing, but the Left go much further than that. If The Left are allowed to criticise Israel, why can't the rest of us, criticise so many things that the Left order us not to?

Anyone can criticise Isreal.

The problem has been that some people, often on the left but also some on the far-right, try to blame Israel for things they have nothing to do with. From 9/11 to the 2008 crash there is a section of society that tries to infer 'a hidden hand of Israel' behind negative world events.

It's anti-Semitic because it's invoking the puppetmaster tropes. This is a racist trope that's been directed at Jews to suggest they're controlling world events. All that's happened is they're replacing 'Jew' with 'Israel' to try and dismiss claims of anti-Semitism.

This is a potential example. Anti-Semitic code words used here are "globalists" and the reference to ""Goldman Sachs"
Quote:
Nigel Farage has claimed that “globalists” are using the coronavirus pandemic to push their agenda.
Later in the article Mr Farage makes reference to “numerous reports” of “Goldman Sachs executives” having a say in EU policy, “behind closed doors, of course.”
In 2019, the Guardian found that Mr Farage had appeared six times on the Alex Jones talk show, in which he repeatedly used words and phrases such as “globalists” and “new world order”, which regularly feature in antisemitic tropes.

Do a search for "new world order". It appears everywhere, about a lot of countries, and a lot of circumstances(eg Covid-19)


The term "globalist" mostly applies to the Left.
Code word or fact?

Quote:
Goldman Sachs participates in the EU policymaking process by engaging with relevant officials and / or members of staff from the EU institutions on specific policy issues (including but not limited to financial services, competition, and trade) and responding to selected consultations.
Link

Quote:
Jose Manuel Barroso had closer contact with Goldman Sachs during his tenure as European Commission chief than he has previously admitted, according to Portuguese media.
Correspondence obtained by Portuguese daily Publico under a freedom of information request suggests that Barroso, who took a job with the US bank earlier this year, held unregistered meetings with Goldman's top people.
In one email dated 30 September 2013, Goldman boss Lloyd Blankfein thanked Barroso for their “productive discussions” and said the bank’s senior partners were delighted about their “extremely fruitful meetings”.
