It is worth remembering that Israel's apartheid in occupied Palestinian territory is imposed not only with laws but also by force, often involving brutality. https://t.co/sOla0lbw9U

EXCLUSIVE: More than half of former Labour voters who intent to back a centre or leftwing party in the next general election have cited the government's record on Gaza as a reason for abandoning Labour, new polling shows.

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.

Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.

Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

We're going to have to repeat a lot that many Jewish people don't support Israel's genocide.

Criticism of the Israeli Government and their war crimes has nothing to do with who is or isn't Jewish.

To conflate them like this is both harmful and antisemitic.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Find time to read this quite astonishingly good piece by
@ArwaM Mahdawi. Brilliant on our government's appalling moral confusion over Gaza

"Why is Hasan Piker ‘not conducive to the public good’? Because on Gaza, we punish the witness, not the crime"

Harriman told Novara Media: ‘We have reached the point where truth itself is being crushed by the very institutions that are supposed to uphold it’ 4 newspapers may have breached regulators code over hit-job on Southbank Centre head https://t.co/3GFvnuSqTG

By the summer of 2024, Israeli infantry officers in Gaza were routinely press-ganging Palestinian civilians to serve as human shields. The practice became so widespread that it had its own name: the human shields were called “mosquitoes." https://t.co/mbrkNE3TR9

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Following harrowing testimony from French nationals detained by Israel, France has now referred reports of sexual violence, beatings and humiliation against Global Sumud Flotilla activists to prosecutors.

On 21 May, I wrote to the Foreign Secretary demanding urgent action over the interception of the flotilla in international waters, and the detention and degrading treatment of humanitarian volunteers, including British citizens.

France is acting. Spain is showing leadership. Where is the UK government? Nothing but a simp for Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.

My open letter to Arsenal about their indefensible firing of Mark Bonnick because of his views on the genocide in Palestine

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Barbarism from Israel. Again. And the world just watches.

[Brighton PSC @BrightonPSC]

Boycott and action. Stop the genocide. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
This commentary would be censored in GB and the pundits sacked. @GaryLineker

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

If this was a British pundit Starmer would have them sent to a CIA black site.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

Nothing to see here, just Israel live streaming its war crimes.

[Tehran Tadhg @TadhgHickey]

Take a fucking bow, Richie kid. Moral clarity 🔥

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

There is no doubt. Israel systematically uses rape as a weapon of war. This recognition is long overdue.

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

Well done to everyone who signed the petition asking the press regulator to investigate the campaign to have @misanharriman removed as chair of the @southbankcentre because of his personal views on Israel’s operation in Gaza. Ipso has now found that “Harriman’s complaints fall within its remit and “may raise a breach of the Editors’ Code of Practice”. We await its judgement:

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

The point of these attacks is twofold:

1. Flood people with nonsense until it feels true.

2. Grind people down until they lose hope.

We know the answer to that: fight back - with hope & a plan for change.

There is absolutely no way they win this.
