The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
The IDF has been accused of horrific war crimes in Gaza by the UN Human Rights Council & Amnesty International.
It is just common sense that those involved in war crimes should be held to account.
Both Scottish Green co-leaders Ross Greer and Gillian Mackay have declared the people of Scotland to be Sovereign before taking the oath.
They both said: 'The ultimate loyalty of the Scottish Greens is not to King or Crown but to the people of Scotland who are Sovereign.'
A UN inquiry has confirmed that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
The Foreign Secretary must come to Parliament, now, and explain why the government is still - shamefully - providing military support to Israel.
Israel has bombed Qatar, a sovereign nation.
This reckless act of escalation is a disgraceful & deliberate attempt to destroy any chances of a ceasefire.
It is clear: Israel has no intention of ending its campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
End all arms sales, now.
❗️BREAKING — The UK Ministry of Defence admits it is “currently training” Israeli military personnel in Britain.
The Labour government has until now refused to answer questions about this, which we covered last year.

It��s official. I will be introducing a Bill for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza.
The government must decide: will it support this inquiry, or will it block our efforts to establish the truth?
