@Ocado @OcadoHelpline this driver was gesticulating and swearing at others when driving today at 16:18. Behaviour isn’t great for someone customer facing. Considering we use your business I think we’ll be taking our business elsewhere. Unnecessary behaviour

1/2. Their silence is deafening, their hypocrisy nauseating, their callousness exposed for all to see. We have a ceasefire now in the Middle East, courtesy of Donald Trump’s superlative diplomacy, and yet many of the “ceasefire now” activists that keep marching on the streets of London appear distraught, or at least nonplussed. They are still chanting "death to the IDF", "from the river to the sea" and other foul slogans as if nothing has changed. Perhaps they just don't know what to do with their weekends, but I fear the truth may be more sinister. A common view among the more extreme protesters is that Trump's is “not a plan for an enduring peace” as it “says nothing about the root causes of violence”: for many, the fundamental, intractable issue appears to be the very existence of one small Jewish-majority state in a vast Middle East. What started off as supposedly "pro-Palestine" marches now feel increasingly explicitly like anti-Israel jamborees. Some still hide it, but many no longer do. The ceasefire has triggered an explosion of joy in Israel and Gaza, but mostly stunned silence among the British activist class. Their inability to share in these celebrations is revealing, if not surprising. They never cared about emaciated Israeli hostages and the inhumane conditions in which they were kept, but why aren’t they happy at the end of the combat operations? Why aren’t they loudly expressing their joy at the fact that the Palestinians they claim to care about are no longer dying? Wasn’t that the stated aim of their protestations?
Some activists are pretending the ceasefire hasn’t actually happened, just as they pretended that Gaza was “occupied” prior to the savage invasion of Israel launched from the strip on October 7 2023. They haven’t bothered to update their rhetoric.
Swathes of the pro-Palestinian movement in the West have gone fully post-modern, unbound by the facts, untethered from the actual reality of the region, turning their supposed cause into a mere symbol of the anti-Western omnicause. Its most extreme advocates have long spread incendiary lies about Israel; now, their truth-bending extends to protesting a war that is no longer being waged.
Some Western advocates of the “pro-Gaza” cause even wanted Hamas to refuse to take the deal, and still hope the terrorist group might wreck it come the second phase. Some don’t want it to disarm, contrary to the Trump plan, which is backed by all of the important Muslim and Arab nations as well as Israel. Many of those who screamed, over and over, in one of the vilest blood libels of recent years, that Israel was conducting a “genocide” in Gaza don’t seem to want to end it. Many of the “pro-Palestine” advocates in the West appear staggeringly unconcerned by the well-being of real Palestinians, or at least want to sacrifice more of them for an everlasting war with Israel.

'If the hostages are being released and Hamas is leaving Gaza, why still march in London today, unless you just want to go Jew-bashing?'

Ben Leo says Trump’s deal may end the war, so protesters have no excuse.

@implausibleblog Where was he racially abused @implausibleblog ?? Please quote

[Alexandra Stratton @AlexLever]

@bbc5live why is Adrian Chiles leading his questions about community tensions due to what is happening in Gaza. What has happened today to Jewish people in Manchester is terrorism. Not a community tension issue. We get it, the bbc hates Israel but enough is enough! #crumpsall

[Alexandra Stratton @AlexLever]

@charlielever11 Get it, get it, get it!

[Alexandra Stratton @AlexLever]

@AvivaKlompas Can you see the Hamas guy behind the sign, about 30 seconds in shoves the kids who get excited and then points a gun at them?

[Israel ישראל @Israel]

Where are all of the human rights organizations?

[Alexandra Stratton @AlexLever]

@SkyNews reporting how awful prisons are in Israel for convicted Palestinian prisoners. Mainly murderers. From pure hearsay. Yet no comment about how awful it must have been for hostages stolen from their homes for simply being Jewish. When will the British press do better?

[Alexandra Stratton @AlexLever]

@thismorning shouldn’t be able to give financial advice on live tv which is completely inaccurate. Plenty of lenders exist who have to be non regulated to lend money and are not classed as loan sharks. Blanket sweeping statements are worrying #thismorning

[Alexandra Stratton @AlexLever]

@thismorning @ITV who is doing your piece on loans sharks. You’ve just said it’s illegal to lend money unless you’re regulated by the FCA. This is factually incorrect. Look into the non regulated bridging industry which is HUGE and LEGITIMATE. Not regulated & not regulated by FCA

[Alexandra Stratton @AlexLever]

I’ve just walked past in the same area a police man get out of his police car to get himself a wrap. Yet can’t sort crime. Good job @cheshirepolice !!! So glad you’re on our streets 🫠

[Alexandra Stratton @AlexLever]

@cheshirepolice taking no action against someone who drove at me and my child narrowly missing us. Illegally parked and then laughed at the fact they could have seriously hurt us if I hadn’t moved in time.
Police say if they’d hit us they would have got involved. Baffling!

[Alexandra Stratton @AlexLever]

@cheshirepolice this driver drove at me and my child narrowly missing us. Parked illegally. Laughed in my face. You’ve chosen to take no action because they didn’t hit me or my child (thank god!). What is your purpose if this behaviour is acceptable?

[Alexandra Stratton @AlexLever]

I’m on a @jet2tweets flight and got to my seat and someone else is in my seat with a boarding pass they’ve been given at check in with my name on it. Apparently it happens often. Is this not a huge security issue @manairport ??? Passport and boarding pass checked pre boarding!

[Alexandra Stratton @AlexLever]

@holland_barrett your Wilmslow store customer service is DIRE!!!

[Alexandra Stratton @AlexLever]

I’ve tried for the last 5 days to post three @YodelOnline parcels. Same excuse by various places - “label machine not working”. “Collection full”. “Not doing collections anymore”
What am I supposed to do? @vintedUK

[Alexandra Stratton @AlexLever]

@RCObsGyn Why don’t you ask the women on the lists?

[Alexandra Stratton @AlexLever]

How can we know what they’re saying is untrue? Or intended to be dangerous? Or intended to even be aimed at you at all? Is there video evidence, and if so, how can we know if it’s real?

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Here’s a little statement from me.

I’m taking legal advice about potential legal action against a number of people.

I won’t be responding to individual statements for legal reasons.

There was a time when I would never have imagined taking such a step.

It’s my view that everyone has the right to criticise me and my views, passionately, robustly, vehemently even.

That doesn’t extend to saying things which are not only untrue, but which are seriously dangerous.

In the last few days, it is clear that some of my harshest critics have decided they can say anything and everything about me, however extreme, however baseless, without consequence.

There are consequences for me, however: my work, the things I believe in, the implication for those who believe the same things, and the physical safety of both me and my loved ones.

This isn’t an abstract fear. One man has been sentenced for threatening to kill me, I’ve been repeatedly targeted by far right extremists in the streets, and I was beaten up by a far-right extremist and his accomplices: my friends were attacked while defending me, underlining they are at risk, too, and I have a duty of care to those I love.

I’m not going to comment further for now, but I hope that message is clear to those considering behaving in a similar fashion.
