We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Samizdata quote of the day – Why the West fails to stop antisemitism The suffering of Gaza, the death and destruction, is undeniable. You can make a legitimate criticism of Israel’s tactics in the conduct of the war. Many Jews around the world make exactly those critiques.
But you cannot engage in such criticism legitimately if you do not also condemn the terrorism of October 7. You cannot pretend that Israel does not face a substantial terrorist threat from Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, the Iranian regime, and other groups that do not recognize Israel’s right to exist.
You cannot complain about the restrictions on goods and material going in and out of Gaza unless you also reference the reasons for the restrictions: the fear in Israel that such materials will be used for the purpose of building a terrorist infrastructure, which is precisely what nearly 300 miles of tunnels underneath Gaza represent.
– Tony Blair, who is not someone often quoted favourably in this particular parish (£)

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Fact
Bliar only emotes when he’s in line to gain financially.
Looks like he’s been engaged to push the reconstruction project of Gaza
The former Prime Minister rejects truth in the first paragraph.
If Israel wanted to destroy Gaza it could have done so in a few days – and there would have been two million Muslims OUT of the place. Instead there has been two and half years of endless restrictions on military action – restrictions that have cost the lives of soldiers. And we get “The suffering of Gaza, the death and destruction, is undeniable. You can make a legitimate criticism of Israel’s tactics in the conduct of the war. Many Jews around the world exactly those critiques”.
“Tony” Blair repeats the propaganda of the followers of Islam – repeated, endlessly, in the international media (always eager to attack “exploiters and oppressors”), with its constant extreme agitprop – agitation propaganda, showing destroyed buildings – but not showing the firing from those buildings, or the leaflets and broadcasts telling civilians to leave those buildings.
As for “recognizing Israel’s right to exist” – Muhammed recognized the the right of Jewish communities in Arabia to exist (they had been there for centuries) – then he launched surprise attacks and killed them.
No one in Gaza warned of the mass attack of October 7th 2023 – this was thousands of Islamic warriors, it was not a few “terrorists”. The general community in Gaza celebrated the mass rape and murder of Jews (and others).
And this was celebrated all round the world – including in Britain, before-Israel-had-done-anything.
To pretend that people are motivated by the “suffering of Gaza, the death and destruction” is a LIE – because, all round the world (and most certainly in Britain), the celebrations of the October 7th attack started BEFORE there was any response from Israel at all.
As for it being “undeniable” – just sex and travel “Tony” Blair.
DJM
Vast amounts of money to be sunk into Gaza, as vast amounts of money has been sunk in the place so many times before, so the people in Gaza (which as been “Jew Free” since 2005 – it was NOT “occupied” before the 2023 attack) can attack again – as they have attacked so often before.
But then Westerners will not even protect their own countries – they sit back and watch whilst places such as New York and London fall, and hiss “Islamophobe!” and “Racist!” at anyone who tries to warn them.
For those who still do not understand – when “Tony” Blair says “You can make a legitimate criticism of of Israel’s tactics in the conduct of war” he is NOT condemning the terrible weakness (the endless delays and restrictions) of the last two and half years – he is saying the exact opposite – and also saying that his opposite of the truth is “undeniable”.
