‘It has been said that they cannot fathom my motive. For the full period of my active life I have been a teacher of economics to the working classes, and my contention has always been that capitalism is rotten to its foundations, and must give place to a new society.’

The UN has officially declared Gaza a genocide. And that Israel is deliberately targeting children and babies.

Only took them 3 years to get there.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

It’s not a “conflict”, it’s genocide.

Spare us this performative compassion while your government continue to enable it.

[The Cynic @90MinuteCynic]

If Scotland had had a go and really went for it, they potentially would be going out of the World Cup anyway BUT we might have scored a few goals and had a few more joyous moments.

Instead we will (likely) exit the group stages having been dour and joyless.

Where’s the gamble?

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Have any UK leaders condemned Israel yet?

…or is deliberately targeting children cool with them?

Former footballer Henrik Larsson has revealed in an interview with The Guardian that he never truly felt he belonged in Sweden.

Larsson, whose father is from Cape Verde and whose mother is Swedish, said he was one of the few Black children at his school, where he was frequently subjected to racist abuse and often had to fight to defend himself.

Despite making 106 appearances for the Swedish national team, Larsson said: “I see myself as a foreigner. To be honest, I don't know what I am. I know I've played 106 games for Sweden, but I've never felt 100% Swedish.”

Larsson added: “It was only after I became successful in football that I started to feel Swedish. When you're nobody, you don't matter. Once you become somebody, you become part of society. That's when people forget where you come from and the colour of your skin.”

@CelticFC Back room staff confirmed the day before the team starts training. Cue the flurry of loans on the last day of the transfer window after the club hierarchy have blundered us out of the Champions League again.
No strategic plan, just a sticking plaster year after year. Disgraceful.

🧵The New UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham Is a Passionate Supporter of Genocide

[Modern Soul Club @DelLennon1]

@lawrencedonegan This is how he acts in public, imagine what he’s like at home.

[The Cynic @90MinuteCynic]

You get what you deserve in football and Scotland will more than likely be eliminated.

There’s an argument to say they are the worst side at the tournament.

Poor off the ball and without purpose on the ball. No plan for buildup or transitions.

Not a jot of belief or joy.

Israel's chosen one.

[Luke @_LOH_77]

There is no viable explanation for why a club the size and with the resources of Celtic could possibly be run this badly. Apart from the fact the board despise us, Dermot Desmond is actively holding the club back.

Proper protests and boycotts are needed to force Fritzl out.

[Ragged Trousered Philanderer @RaggedTP]

Creepy as fuck. This gathering of pro-genocide sycophants and tools has absolutely nothing to do with the 20th century Labour Party. These are the people who engineered a Tory victory in 2019 rather than support Jeremy Corbyn.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

A UN commission has found that Israel is committing genocide through a "deliberate strategy to destroy the future of the Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children".

The truth always comes out in the end — and we must never, ever let it be forgotten.

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

Andy Burnham's Chief of Staff will be James Purnell.

Ex Chair of Labour Friends of Israel.

All you need to know.

He says “up the RA” for £86

…imagine what he’d do for £5m.

Celtic: A failure to communicate. https://t.co/KfPdNAgqMw

"Every country was put on notice by the ICJ that there was a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza.. every country became obliged under the law.. to take action to prevent genocide.. that obligation was activated on 24th Jan 2024"

The government must not water down the #OccupiedTerritoriesBill, it is our LEGAL OBLIGATION not to do *any* trade with apartheid Israel's illegal settlements.

[The Parkhead Faithful @TheParkheadF]

Celtic return to pre-season training this Friday, which is just 3 days away.

Reports have now emerged that Celtic have missed out on Elias Filet, the 24-year-old striker who scored 22 goals last season. According to the report, discussions were held, but the deal ultimately collapsed because Celtic took too long, allowing the player's representatives to explore other options.

Once again, it feels like we're sleeping at the wheel. Michael Nicholson and the board told supporters that mistakes had been made and lessons would be learned, yet here we are facing the same issues all over again.

Ange Postecoglou once said Celtic need to be aggressive in the transfer market. With pre-season about to begin and no first-team signings through the door, it's hard to argue that we're showing that aggression right now.

Whether Filet would have been the answer or not is up for debate, but allowing potential targets to slip away because of a lack of urgency is becoming a frustratingly familiar story for Celtic supporters. 🍀

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Israel deliberately targeted Palestinian children in its genocide.

That’s the findings of a latest UN commission.

Remember: if you oppose this abomination, you’re treated as a dangerous, hateful extremist
