Thread Name: BS: The Euston Manifesto
Subject: RE: BS: The Euston Manifesto
The Euston Manifesto is a clear attempt to smear anyone who opposes American and British actions internationally as nationalist, sectionalist, anti- democratic, and even racist. It's all weasel words.

If they are really for human rights, they can't support the self- appointed international death squads.

They skate over the problem that there can't be a two- state solution in Israel while one state is occupying the other. their idea of human rights would not appear to include the right not to be removed from your home by an occupying army.

In short, it's just the latest attempt by authoritarian New Labour types to claim the political centre. Which "centre" has moved rapidly to the right over the last 20 years.

The Political Compass.
