Free Palestine.

Noo we’re just crazy feminists remember? The only reason Muslim men don’t like him anymore is because they found out he’s not Muslim. You guys fully supported him even when he was being misogynistic and had human trafficking/rape charges.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

I really cannot believe this!!!
Falling? Is this how you, CNN, describe the killing of tens of thousands and the expulsion of so many more?
Could you say that the Jewish population in Europe was falling between 1933-1945? FALLING?
Seriously?
Where did these people get their degrees? Also the chief editors?

I'd argue that today's media coverage of the Amsterdam situation is one of the most transparent and easily refutable cases of false reporting i've ever seen.

It took the full force of the internet to get major networks to start reporting it even remotely correctly. Disturbing.

@zarahsultana This CANNOT be real 🤦🏽‍♀️ crazy how having Rowling directly message you would have been a childhood dream many many years ago…

Amazing how "terrorist attack" becomes an "explosion at supermarket" when Israel does it

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The UK has abstained on a UN resolution demanding an end to Israel's occupation of Palestine.

A shameful chapter in this government's ongoing contempt for international law and the dignity of Palestinians.

End the occupation. Free Palestine.

[Jessica Ellis @baddestmamajama]

Um. Can someone explain to me how causing hundreds of pagers to explode, regardless of where the people were at the time, and thus endangering the lives of thousands of civilians, is not a terrorist attack?

[Laila Al-Arian @LailaAlarian]

It won’t be forgotten that the western media’s response to the maiming of thousands of people is how “amazing” Israel’s tech is.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

8 people confirmed killed and almost 3000 injured. The impunity given to Israel to carry out its genocide, by any and all means of violence, has allowed it to expand its destruction and has annihilated whatever facade remained of the international law regime.

[CAGE International @CAGEintl]

Marieha Hussain's full statement outside court today

I must start by thanking God for giving me the patience and strength to withstand the trials and tribulations of the last 10 months. It has led me to my outstanding legal team who defended me, CAGE who have advocated for me and academics, like Nels Abbey, who have supported me.

Despite the pressure from the CPS and the police, Judge Vanessa Lloyd has seen through this politicised prosecution and I have found some justice today. The damage to my reputation and image can never be undone but I am proud to have defended the principle that our language and political critique is not illegal.

The laws on hate speech must serve to protect us all, but this trial shows us that these laws are being weaponised to target ethnic minorities and in my case also crack down on pro Palestine political dissent.

It goes without saying this has been an agonising ordeal for my family and I. Instead of enjoying my pregnancy, I have been vilified in the media, lost my career & dragged through the court system in what can only be described as a politically motivated show trial.

Although it may seem like I lost it all, in actual fact I have been liberated - free to openly call out genocide enablers wherever I find them. Nearly a year on from the genocide in Gaza, and despite this trial, I am more determined than ever to continue using my voice to defend Palestine.

FREE FREE Palestine!

We currently have a situation in Israel where nine soldiers were arrested on charges of raping a Palestinian at a torture camp. It was caught on camera. The Knesset has debated whether the rape of Palestinians is lawful. Israelis have stormed the military courts and rioted in support of the rapists, while the Israeli media platforms the defense of raping of Palestinians. All of this is funded and armed by the U.S. government, specifically the Biden-Harris administration.

We have the faces of the Palestinian male victims of sexual violence, their names, and their testimonies detailing their experiences and what they witnessed.

But.. the Israelis are too traumatized to talk about or investigate their own claims?

[Aveiro @ali_haytch]

Thought I was the only one lol

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

Leadership looks like telling a group of young Arab/Muslim women students that they’re gonna get Trump elected if they protest genocide & then staring them down with disdain as the crowd cheers and jeers.

The depth of the dehumanization of Palestinians/Muslims/Arabs is numbing.

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

The Palestinian flag is a symbol of anti-fascism around the world. Maybe think about why that is.

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

They are not “protests.” They are violent race riots. If you can’t even name the act, then you’re complicit in it.

It’s not okay for immigrants to move to the UK, but it’s okays for English people to move to Benidorm, Ibiza, Dubai, Thailand, Australia….

[charl ♡ @tinycharlll]

"without immigrants we wouldn't have ...." ok but also! they are humans? stop viewing immigrants as money making machines for the economy it's very demeaning

[Alex Zonneveld @A_Zonn]

Great turnout so far by the good people of North Finchley so far!

People against racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia and domestic terrorism!

People who refuse to be intimidated by the far-right!

This is the London I know and love ❤️❤️❤️

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

Watching those monsters set fire to the Holiday Inn in Rotherham to burn alive the asylum seekers inside

…whilst blocking the doors & LAUGHING is something I never thought I’d witness in England in 2024.

What kind of depraved person does that to another?!

Murderers.
