“Every word in it is a lie”

DD Guttenplan, on the Guardian’s Comments blog, takes apart the recently-published Euston Manifesto, exposing the alliance behind it - liberal advocates for Israel including the Engage mob and what he calls the “laptop bombardiers” like Norman Geras and Nick Cohen, and the odd sectarian leftist of the Workers’ Liberty stripe. The choice of decoration is noted as well - the US Declaration of Independence, no less. (I wonder if they really thought about this though, or if they chose it because it looked nice and was the right colour?)

Comment is free: No sects please, you’re British

    I object to the self description of people like Cohen, Hitchens and Geras as the “pro-war left”. They’re not pro-war. This makes them sound like Nordic gods. They’re pro other people fighting in wars. Most of them are the last people you’d expect to fight in wars.

    I didn’t claim he was.

    Communism is just a gateway drug to neoconservatism.
