Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the 'Palestinian Pelé'.

A talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Can anyone in the government explain what on earth they doing here. Labour opposed in opposition then Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s abuse of secondary legislation to rail through these changes. How can they possibly now be condoning & supporting what she did? It’s a disgrace

[Valerio B @68Guanche]

@Keir_Starmer Rather than reach for tired tropes about bureaucrats perhaps reflect on what really lies beneath Britain’s housing crisis. Take #Manchester, a city with no shortage of construction but severe housing inequalities: https://t.co/FKNfBWgT33

@Keir_Starmer @BlackRock @RachelReevesMP This government of sterile technocrats is either more dangerous than we thought or they really have no idea who #Blackrock are and how they operate. Fortunately there is plenty of literature available to help you to understand, 👇

Likely raped to death.
A doctor. A stellar surgeon. The embodiment of Palestinian ethics.
Likely raped to death.

The racism of Western media who are not covering this, and Western politicians who are not denouncing this, together with the thousand other testimonies and allegations of rape and other forms of mistreatment and torture that Palestinians have suffered in Israeli jails, is absolutely sickening.

Just got violated at Ben Gerion airport for no reason other than being a Palestinian from Jerusalem.

Questioning wasn’t enough, going through all my sh*t wasn’t enough, x raying me and literally seeing through my bones wasn’t enough.

They had to strip my clothes off and use a metal detector against my a$$ and vag.

Always honored to contribute to the security of the “only democracy in the Middle East”.

No matter what a Palestinian does; learn the language, volunteer or work on bridging communities you will never out grow the status of being a security hazard. That is the systemic discrimination that is embedded in our every day lives.

Manchester activists storm and occupy BBC's Manchester offices today to protest against the BBC's continued false narrative and normalisation of the genocide in Palestine.

What's causing the Islamophobic riots across the UK, and why now?

1. The riots have been instigated by the Zionist asset Stephen Yaxley-Lennon ('Tommy Robinson'), who has been working for the State of Israel since 2009 as part of the so-called 'counterjihad' Islamophobia movement established by that state. When his organisation, the English Defence League, was incorporated in 2011, two years after its inception, it was named the English & Jewish Defence League. The Jewish Defence League, a Zionist terrorist organisation, has been a key part of violent Islamophobic street thuggery in the UK over the past decade.

2. Yaxley-Lennon is one of the most high-profile actors in the State of Israel's Online Influencers Programme in response to Operation Al-Aqsa Storm. He and others, like Oli London, Noa Tishby, Hen Mazzig, Arsen Ostrovsky and Emily Schrader (and many others) are paid to distribute Zionist propaganda, of which pushing back against pro-Palestine protests and sowing Islamophobia are two important and interlinked aims.

3. The recent Islamophobic riots in the UK should be seen as the latest phase of the State of Israel's war on British Muslims, who it sees as originating the protest movement in the UK. These riots are designed to punish Muslims for their anti-Zionist sentiment after various other methods to suppress opposition to Zionism by the State of Israel have been thwarted. The State of Israel's attempts to use its assets and operatives in the British political and media class — such as Suella Braverman and Michael Gove — to thwart pro-Palestinian protests have failed. Zionist counter-protests have failed to mobilise significant numbers. Sporadic Zionist thuggery and the use of other assets — such as Iranian secularist extremists — have also failed to intimidate Muslims. So now the State of Israel is weaponising its cannon fodder on the white nationalist far-right, who have greater numbers than either Zionist street thugs or Iranian monarchists and secularist extremists.

4. Finally, there are also questions about which actor authored the idea that Muslims were responsible for the ostensible triggers for these events. MI6 and its assets (eg Paul Mason) are desperately trying to pretend this was a Russian disinfo op. But the original stories did not come from Russia. Where did they come from?

What in God's name @DavidLammy are you doing to put an end to this horror being meted out by your friends in Tel Aviv? Which aspect of international law exactly did you study because it clearly didn't include #genocide. #GazaGenocide https://t.co/FkuRiIvPZS

[Aaron Winter @aaronzwinter]

Call out those who scapegoat & spread suspicion of Muslims, migrants, refugees & asylum seekers, & legitimise, mainstream & embolden the far right, their racism, grievances & narratives. Seeing only the extreme & exceptionalising it is an obstacle to understanding&stopping this.

[Norman Finkelstein @normfinkelstein]

I just learnt that the inimitable Clare Daly @ClareDalyMEP was not reelected to the European Parliament.  It's a disappointment--but NOT a defeat.  In fact, each "defeat" is a necessary stepping-stone on the road to victory:

"What does the entire history of socialism and of all modern revolutions show us? The first spark of class struggle in Europe, the revolt of the silk weavers in Lyon in 1831, ended with a heavy defeat; the Chartist movement in Britain ended in defeat; the uprising of the Parisian proletariat in the June days of 1848 ended with a crushing defeat; and the Paris commune ended with a terrible defeat. The whole road of socialism – so far as revolutionary struggles are concerned – is paved with nothing but thunderous defeats. Yet, at the same time, history marches inexorably, step by step, toward final victory! Where would we be today without those “defeats,” from which we draw historical experience, understanding, power and idealism? Today, as we advance into the final battle of the proletarian class war, we stand on the foundation of those very defeats; and we cannot do without any of them, because each one contributes to our strength and understanding." (Rosa Luxemburg, "Order Reigns in Berlin")

Two clenched fists (and a rose) to Red Clare!

🛑 Anthropologists, historians, and intellectuals, including many jews and holocaust survivors, are comparing now the atrocities committed by the Apartheid regime of Israel during the ongoing Genocide, with 1940s Germany, regarding especially 10 horrific simultaneous premeditated acts done in just 7 months:

1- Dehumanizing propaganda and lies (example of the fake 30 babies story on October 7 investigated and uncovered by CNN and debunked by Israeli press themselves among others).

2- The killing, burning, or burying alive of 15 000 of real babies and children, with in addition using prohibited chemical weapons like white phosphorus, and drones playing crying baby sound…

3- Starvation and extermination of people based on their ethnicity, skin color or religion, while they were putted into a concentration camp, which is Gaza, with a totally controlled siege and illegal blockade for years (open-air prison).

4- Theft of native people's land and homes and selling them to US & EU settlers, colonization, domination, ethnic cleansing, racism, violence, discrimination, forced displacement, inhumane treatment of detainees, armed checkpoints, and obvious complete destruction of infrastructure and facilities.

5- Unprecedented mass executions by dropping thousands of tons of bombs and missiles on such concentrated population, causing permanent damage to the injured, such as deformities and disabilities, along with the environmental risks resulting from the release of toxic radiation, and the presence of graves with clear signs of torture.

6- Flour Massacres targeting unarmed palestinians seeking food, and shootings on innocents with white flag or in declared « safe zones ».

7- Intentional targeting and killing of international aid workers, ambulances (shocking example of the assassination of 6-year-old Hind Rajab and the rescue team that she called), doctors, 143 journalists, and annihilation of healthcare system, note that experienced war surgeons are reporting apalling injuries unseen before.

8- Disregard for all the global authorities, conventions, human rights and laws.

9- Pillaging or destroying homes, hospitals, universities, schools, churches, mosques, cultural sites heritage, and even UN buildings, with recorded mockery by the IDF.

10- Extensive worldwide documentation, proof, videos, images, articles, interviews, testimonies, names, and online live streaming of all these indisputable facts that the whole world is witnessing !

Don't be distracted. Don't look away. Let's stick to these evidence. We will never forget. We will never stop sharing. It’s not a political or religious question here, it’s a matter of HUMANITY & FREEDOM. Never again means never again for anyone.

And always remember that Palestinians have a recognized right under international law to resist Israeli occupation under Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions. This right is affirmed in the context of the right of self-determination of all peoples under foreign and colonial rule.
