Did I say "virtue-signaling idiots"? I believe I did.

More from the deranged Sisters Uncut:

The women’s organisation that held a pro-Palestinian blockade at Liverpool Street station in London has formed a “joint struggle bloc” with Black Lives Matter, LGBT and social justice groups.

Sisters Uncut — founded to campaign against cuts to domestic violence services — claims that the same “white supremacist patriarchy” oppressing feminists is “murdering Palestinians”.

It appeared to play down the massacre of 1,300 Israelis by Hamas terrorists on October 7, saying: “The violence of the oppressed must never be equated with that of the oppressor.”

The group — which organised the rush-hour sit-in at the station on Tuesday — has joined a coalition of other activist organisations, including Black Lives Matter and Queers for Palestine. Together the “joint struggle bloc” said they were “unconditionally in solidarity with the Palestinians in their struggle against settler colonialism”.

Explaining its alignment with the Palestinian cause, Sisters Uncut said: “As intersectional feminists we know our struggles are connected; nobody is free until we are all free. The same colonial logic of white supremacist patriarchy that oppresses feminists the world over is murdering Palestinians right now, through isra*l’s [sic] racist apartheid settler-colonialism.”…

More recently, the group has campaigned for the rights of transgender people and minorities. On its website, the group describes itself as “women and gender-variant people who live under the threat of domestic violence”.

In July it supported Sarah Jane Baker, a transgender rights activist who told a Pride event to “punch a Terf” [trans-exclusionary radical feminist]. Baker had previously spent 30 years in prison for kidnap and attempted murder. Baker was later acquitted of a charge of inciting violence in connection with the Terf comment.

Since the Hamas attack on October 7 Sisters Uncut has repeatedly posted on social media about the conflict. One video showed protesters holding a Palestinian flag next to a banner that said: “Trans liberation, trans revolution now.”

There does seem to be this strong overlap between support for Hamas and support for trans rights. Both are profoundly regressive movements which've been dressed up in modern leftist jargon to fool the young and gullible into thinking they're progressive causes. In the case of trans rights it's misogyny and homophobia dressed up in gender-speak. Hamas of course make absolutely no secret of their hatred of Jews – and. it goes without saying, their misogyny and homophobia – which makes it all the more astonishing that their horrifying brutality gets excused in the name of fighting "settler colonialism". 

All of which, rather depressingly, suggests that antisemitism never really went away, and was always lurking under the surface waiting to be revived.
