Police called on ex-MSP who accurately called US & Israel ‘evil’

According to the National, someone has called the police on ex-MSP Tommy Sheridan and the reason is because Sheridan called the US and Israel “evil”.

Which they objectively are.

Because of all the evil shit they keep doing.

Israel ARE evil

Sheridan is running in this year’s Holyrood elections for the Alliance to Liberate Scotland. He’s previously been a member of Alba, and was the leader of the Scottish Socialist Party.

In the offending video, Sheridan addressed a hall full of people, saying:

Brothers and sisters, we were on the side of the IRA because they were doing the resistance.

We’re on the side of Hamas in Palestine because they’re doing the resistance.

We’re on the side of Hezbollah in Lebanon because they’re doing the resistance.

And we’re on the side today of the Iranians and Yemen because they’re standing up against the twin pillars of evil in our society today, the United States of America and Israel.

They epitomise evil in our planet.

Increasingly, it isn’t an uncommon opinion to support whoever the Yanks are invading.

During the Invasion of Iraq, there was considerable support in the West despite the obvious criminality of the war. Now, most people recognise that America and its attack dog Israel are the aggressors.

People also recognise their lives keep getting worse because our governments have pissed money up the wall on immoral wars of aggression.

Sheridan also said:

If somebody says to me, Tommy, whose side are you on?

I say I am not on the side of those that murder children, that torture children, that steal their land that belongs to the Palestinians.

I’m on the side of those who resist repression and if that means you don’t vote for me, then tough fucking titty.

And as reported by the National, Sheridan branded:

the USA and Israel “evil” and [said] he is not on the side of “those who murder children”.

Sheridan has since provided the following quote from Trump to backup his argument:

Yet I'm reported to the police for calling out these evil bastards 🤦😡🇮🇱🤮🇺🇸🤮 https://t.co/jLwy7duomP pic.twitter.com/pgQgMr5YPW

In terms of Israel, doctors provided evidence that Israeli snipers were “systematically targeting Gaza’s children” – the very definition of evil by anyone’s standards.

Responding to the police report, Sheridan said:

This is obviously someone with a lot of time on their hands.

There is zero criminality in the comments. I was merely expressing the side of the fence I am on in relation to these resistance fighters.

Any suggestion of criminality is mythical. I think the police have more to do than deal with this.

Differences

As you’d expect given his links to Alba, Sheridan has transphobic views:

👏👏👏♀️
Women are born not certificated. That statement of fact is not bigotry or discriminatory it is a biological fact. It is truth no matter how many transactivists shout loud or scream transphobia. Transgender people deserve kindness & consideration but not false recognition https://t.co/B9DAGIFWhr

In case you don’t follow, Sheridan is saying that he’s willing to be polite to trans people but won’t recognise them by their identified gender.

We certainly don’t agree with this, but we’re not calling the police on Sheridan because he said something we don’t like.

The fact that the US and Israel’s defenders can’t say the same shows what snowflakes they are.
