British Students Support Palestine!

British University Students Support Palestine Against Zionist “Genocide”! (9.5.2024)

“We ask everyone who is taking part to do so with respect, courtesy and empathy,” the spokesperson said.

Students and staff at the University of London have set up a “Liberated Zone for Gaza” on campus stating that the institution was “deeply tied to Israeli settler colonialism” through investments in various companies.

Similar pro-Palestine encampments have been set up at universities in Manchester, Sheffield and Newcastle as well.

Students from the Cambridge Jews for Justice in Palestine group said they “refuse to sit by while our university is complicit in, and profits from, the genocide of Palestinians and we refuse to accept its commitment to murder and bloodshed as the status quo”.

The group’s spokesperson said they were joining “students across the world in refusing the weaponised conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism”.

The protests at British universities mirror pro-Palestine demonst

Richard Hunn’s Portable Buddha-Statue! (2.3.2024)

As it stands, Oxford University is the pinnacle of Bourgeois opulence, class distinction, grace and favour!

Newton and the Pyramids – When Religion Pollutes Science! (10.10.2023)

Ancient Egyptians never encountered the Jews because Judaism as a religion is not as old as its believers assume, etc, but we can see how Newton’s thought-processes were operating. He incorrectly believed that the Jews built the Pyramids – and that ‘God’ must have directed the Jews in this activity, and so on. Therefore, Newton (like many others) believed the Pyramids were the inspired machinations of a Judeo-Christian God! Either that or Cambridge University needs funds for a new Smoking Room – and the Dons decided to auction-off one of the Newton manuscripts currently held in their possession!

Dr John Wilkins (1614-1672): Revolutionary Thinkimg & England’s 1640 CE Moon-Shot! (30.9.2023)

The point is that the external Revolutionary conditions of British society that led directly to the English Civil Wars (and the overthrow of absolute monarchy) – not only emerged from changing attitudes within – but served to further condition the human mind to think beyond the boundaries set by previous generations without! Changing times led to changing thoughts – and changing thoughts led to the eventual advancement of science and society. John Wilkins is to be applauded for his diplomatic skills and his scientific vigour! This very much encapsulates the spirit of the English Revolution!
