Tweet Brexit reveals Corbyn to be the true moderate: Reporting, commentary and analysis on the Israel-Palestine conflict



EXCERPT:

Standing a little outside Europe is probably the best we can hope to
manage in current circumstances. But it might give us the political
space – and, more importantly, burden us with the political
responsibility – to imagine the deep changes that are urgently needed.


Change
has to happen if we as a species are to survive, and it has to happen
soon and it has to happen somewhere. We cannot force others to change,
but we can recognise our own need to change and offer a vision of change
for others to follow. That can begin only when we stop shielding
ourselves from the consequences of our decisions, stop hiding in someone
else’s ideological life-raft in the forlorn hope that it will weather
the coming, real-world storms.


It is time to stop acting like
zealots for neoliberalism, squabbling over which brand of turbo-charged
capitalism we prefer, and face up to our collective responsibility to
change our and our children’s future.
