@tayab_ali_ @PhilipProudfoot @andyburnham You sound like all the cabinet members of the labour party. No decisive action just words. And while you do so more civilians in Gaza, the West Bank and the Lebanon are being killed. It is time for you to stand up to your handlers and totally sanction Israel.

[Paul Holden @pauleholden]

This is utterly, utterly, outrageous. Lloyds is blocking The Canary from accessing its bank accounts. They are refusing to explain why.

This will undermine free speech and independent accountability journalism.

@LloydsBank must explain themselves NOW! Retweet @LloydsBank and make them come clean.

A beloved teacher in Luxembourg, Fatima lost her job after speaking out on social media against the killing of children in Gaza.
Her students and their families refused to stay silent. They organized a peaceful protest in her support, calling for justice and demanding that she be allowed to return to the classroom.

Mrs Sarah Wilkinson @swilkinsonbc is a 63 year old journalist that has been documenting the Gaza genocide from early on.
The UK Govt is charging her with terrorism crimes for simply posting the news out of Gaza, in an effort to silence her.

Please RT this - thank you.

Did anyone who voted Labour in 2024 expect this?

[Palestina En Español 🎒 @PalestinaVence]

El General Yakovleff (ex alto mando francés) rompió el silencio con una crítica dura y directa.

“Hay que dejar de decir que Israel se defiende. Israel no se defiende
.
Israel masacra y tortura a Líbano, y lo estamos dejando hacer. Trump está de acuerdo.
Me repugna, me da asco.”Además, denunció el concepto israelí de “alto el fuego unilateral”:

“El alto el fuego solo aplica para el lado de enfrente.
En un año: 0 muertos israelíes en Israel y 2.500 muertos en Líbano. ¿Quién es el agresor?”

Este testimonio de un militar experimentado es muy fuerte porque viene de alguien que no forma parte del activismo pro-palestino, sino de un análisis militar y ético.

“When is the British government going to impose sanctions on Israel for its endless violations of international law?”

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

Government ministers cannot watch on, wringing their hands, whilst Netanyahu blatantly forces the Palestinians off their land, destroying any hope of a Palestinian state. Total sanctions are the least this government could do & coordinate with other states https://t.co/Y4GJHeo9ks

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

Hi Jonah,

I'm Jewish. Many of my closest friends are Jewish. I love them all. My family is Jewish, I love them all too. My community is Jewish. Love them too. I love Judaism. I host shabbat dinners, celebrate Jewish holidays, sing Jewish prayers, study Torah & Talmud, and love Jewish culture, history and expression.

Judaism existed for thousands of years before Apartheid Israel came into existence, and Judaism will exist for thousands of years after Apartheid Israel collapses.

That's because the ideology of Apartheid Israel is Zionism, an ideological movement that set out to build a Jewish state with a Jewish majority working at Jewish-only cooperatives living in Jewish-only colonies owned by Jewish-only land authorities operating Jewish-only schools in a country of overwhelmingly non-Jews. What could possibly go wrong?

A short summary: That's why, when Zionists bought land in Palestine from the 1900s-1948, they uprooted the people living on the land because they weren't jewish. https://t.co/HRdm0V6YDS and https://t.co/5et8PsWW0Y

That's why, when Zionists created cooperatives in Palestine in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, they insisted on "Hebrew Labor", i.e., "Jews only" -- no Arabs allowed. That's why, in the 1930s, Zionists expelled Palestinian Arabs from working at Jewish companies and business. https://t.co/oXfyJsXdja

That's why, in 1948, Zionists militias ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. https://t.co/A6l95xmTfe

That's why, from 1949-1956, Israeli forces shot & killed b/w 2,700-5,000 overwhelmingly unarmed Palestinians trying to return to their homes after the war. Because they were the wrong religion/ethnicity https://t.co/s2RBvsdjMw

That's why Israel expelled another ~30-40,000 Palestinians from Israel from 1949-1959. https://t.co/1d4VqUk5lc

That's why Israel expelled another ~250,000 Palestinians from Gaza & the West Bank when it occupied those territories in 1967. https://t.co/aDxfsfnf9l

That's why Israel continued to expel Palestinians from the occupied territories from 1968-1993, many hundreds of thousands of them. https://t.co/16FarJ83q4

The Zionists wanted to create a Jewish State with a Jewish majority in a land of overwhelmingly Palestinians. That's why Israel has become such a pariah state over the years, because it's insistence on jewish rule in a country with so many Palestinians. That's why Zionism has led Israel to become an apartheid state, according to every relevant human rights organization ( @ICAHD in 2010, @UNESCWA in 2017, @YeshDin in 2020, @AdalahCenter in 2020, @btselem in 2021, @hrw in 2021, @fidh_en in 2021, @alhaq_org in 2022, @Addameer in 2022, @AlMezanCenter in 2022, @cacalqudsuni in 2022, @AdvocacyJlac in 2022, @miftahpal in 2022, @ICJ_org in 2022, @DAWNmenaorg in 2022, @amnesty in 2022)....

....Since it cannot grant the ~5-6 million occupied Palestinians Israeli citizenship. Israel chose apartheid and Jewish supremacy over democracy.

Zionism also explains why Israel is now committing genocide (according to @amnesty , @hrw , @btselem , @MSF , IAGS, @alhaq_org , @UNHumanRights , @UN_HRC , @pchrgaza , @AlMezanCenter , @WarOnWant , @PHRIsrael , @fidh_en , PHROC, @LemkinInstitute , @theCCR , @ECCHRBerlin , @unitedforrights @JURDIasso , @TheElders , @Oxfam ), because, what a Zionist dream it would have been had Palestine been a land without any people on it! the ideology incentivized genocide.

So, please don't conflate Judaism -- that has existed for thousands of years -- with your modern, fascist anti-Jewish political ideology founded on the principles of forcible displacement & genocide.

Judaism will last as long as their are humans on the planet. Israel is imploding in real time.

At least 15 cases of sexual assaults, including rape.

Shot with rubber bullets at close range.

Tens of people’s bones broken.

While the world’s eye is trained on the suffering of our participants, we cannot emphasize enough that this is a mere glimpse of the brutality israel imposes daily on Palestinian hostages.

Don’t let up. Statements of condemnation are not enough. This moment must be seized by people worldwide to apply the necessary pressure to end this colonial violence. Pressure officials. Escalate boycott and divestment tactics. Organize direct action.

“Please, if this can be a lightning rod moment, let it be that … join us wherever you are and rise up so that we can end this occupation, end this colonialism, end this violence.”

Free Palestine NOW.

[Jody McIntyre @jodymcintyre_]

Three patrons of UK Lawyers for Israel have been named in a “legal intimidation” complaint.

I’ve discovered that the family of one of the accused gave thousands to ex-Health Minister Wes Streeting.

Another served at a Peter Mandelson think tank.

@AndyBurnhamGM Are you in labour friends of Israel? Don't you feel ashamed about what is happening in the Middle East? Labour should be on the side of the Palestinians. Do you agree with Kit Malthouse's recent speech?
