I keep checking our PM’s, the human rights lawyer, Sir Keir Starmer’s twitter, for condemnation of any of the atrocities Israel has committed in the last few days, including the Al Aqsa hospital tent burnings. Nothing. Imagine if it wasn’t Palestinian lives but Israeli’s? Is this the change he promised?
What a tricky choice Starmer faces.
Does he support:
A) UN peacekeepers, UN resolutions, the ICJ, moral positions of Ireland, Norway, Spain & France, hundreds of thousands of innocent lives or
B) A monster burning children alive in tents whilst announcing plans to annex Gaza?
“Israel is now bombing central Beirut with white phosphorus, including the Al-Bashoura medical zone.”
“White phosphorus is a banned munition that causes fatal burns that reach down to the bone.”
“They [Israel] are criminals; they are terrorists.”
—Spain’s MEP, Irene Montero 🇪🇸

Today is the 88th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street, when thousands of East-Londoners stood alongside Jewish and Irish communities to drive out Oswald Mosley and his fascists.
Never forget: working-class unity can defeat the far right for good.
Wow, she actually uses one of her children as a human shield to justify accepting expensive Taylor Swift tickets she could have easily afforded on a salary beyond the dreams of most of her voters.
Do this government not know how they come across to most people?
This is insane. Labour’s Bridget Phillipson says she took a £14,000 donation, primarily to throw a birthday party.
She’s smiling while she divulges this information. I’m genuinely in awe that they don’t appear to see how bad this looks.
I have been sickened by revelations of 'donations'. It grates against the values of the Labour Party, created to fight for the needs of others, not self. Meanwhile pensioners are having their Winter Fuel Payments taken, risking going cold. I trust conference votes to change this.
Rather than have these unseemly disputes over which Labour minister can use these grace & favour mansions, let’s set a socialist example & use them to give respite breaks to unpaid carers or to some of the pensioners at risk of freezing this winter. https://t.co/EOnWdwpSvD
It is repulsive, abhorrent, indefensible & frankly unbelievable that our political leaders are allowing all of these beautiful children, and women & men, to be slaughtered at the behest of Israel’s proudly fascist, bloodthirsty, criminal regime with our weapons.

If Hezbollah blew up the phones or pagers of Israeli reservists, inevitably killing and maiming children and bystanders, those cheering on Israel now would be denouncing an obscene act of terrorism.
And anyone publicly cheering it on in the West would be liable for arrest.
