Andy lad.
Get off Starmer’s fence.
You either accept the evidence before your own eyes, or you don’t.
There is no ‘appear’ about it.
Genocide. War crimes.
Say it.
@jodymcintyre_ Its a shame to see a man whose ancestors suffered centuries of slavery at the hands of the West, is happy to remain their slave than taking stand for the oppressed.
Reform Friends of Israel was set up last year. It is funded by deputy leader Richard Tice.
Labour Friends of Israel was set up in 1957. Current members include Deputy PM David Lammy, but it refuses to disclose its funders.
Are Labour operating a double standard re: donations?
It was clear from the very start that what Israel was doing in Gaza was genocide (every clip below is from Oct 2023)
And yet over two & half years later Burnham still refuses to call it genocide. Why? Because if he did, he'd have to take action as PM
Can Burnham say that war crimes, let alone genocide, has occurred in Gaza?
Being clear on this is the most basic first step.
Without this, Labour hasn't even started its journey to rectifying for years of complicity and participation in this genocide.
@notambiturner@BladeoftheS@grok The Cuban missile crisis was a justified reaction to American missiles in Europe. The bay of pigs was literally the USA attacking Cuba
Many in positions of influence are silent to the Gaza 🇵🇸 genocide
Not Hossam Hassan, Egypt’s 🇪🇬⚽️ coach:
‘No matter your nationality’
‘Thousands of children murdered’
‘Don’t be silent’
‘A shame on all of us’
‘Let Palestinians 🇵🇸 live’
👏
Egypt 🇪🇬 ⚽️ out
They will be missed.
Rising tennis star Zeynep Sönmez responds to Wimbledon’s hypocrisy with watermelon on racket in support of Palestinian rights
Wimbledon had shamefully banned Sönmez from wearing a watermelon pin on her top, as she has done in the past.
‼️ The stages of UK diplomacy on Palestine are:
1. Israel has the right to defend itself.
2. Something appears to have happened to some Palestinians.
3. We are waiting for a court to tell us whether it was a crime.
4. No, not that court.
5. Or that one.
6. Actually, Judge, this is for ministers to decide, not the courts.
7. Ministers are deeply concerned…
8. …deeply concerned about members of the public protesting about what is happening.
9. While we establish who did the concerning thing, we will continue the arms-export carve-outs.
10. Strong decisive action is now needed - Ban a few pro-Palestinian protest groups and arrest a few grannies for terrorism.
11. We are aware of concerning reports about the concerning thing.
12. We have raised the concerning thing with the people accused of doing it.
13. Britain’s commitment to the rule of law is resolute.
14. Israel has the right to defend itself. Return to stage 1.
They killed him because he had prepared areas that were full of garbage, cleaned them up, and set up a large screen and chairs, making the area suitable so that the people of Gaza could watch the Egypt-Argentina match, to have some joy, to be like the people of the rest of the world. However, the occupation refused this and assassinated him.
🚨Alexis Mac Allister on exchanging shirts with Mo Salah after the final whistle of the game.
🗣️“If to see someone emotionally cry and heartbroken then that shouldn’t be Mo Salah but it’s football, he is arguably the second best player I’ve played with after Lionel Messi. He gives his all today with a lot of sacrifices made in the game.”
“I have to exchange shirts with him because this might be my last time seeing him or play with him in the same pitch, I have learn a lot from him and he has given me the best advice in football to go far, he deserves my respect for everything.”
I love football. I love late drama. I love comebacks. I love knowing that anything is possible and feeling like we’re watching a steady stream of some of the greatest games ever. I do not love how we are expected to ignore the inconsistencies in officiating and the interventions from VAR, which have largely been heavily weighted towards certain teams and its players. If you’ve watched and followed everything in this World Cup and are still subscribed the idea that it’s all fair, delusionville must be a lovely place to reside.
Israel murdered the director of the Egyptian Committee in Gaza while Egypt were playing their biggest World Cup game in generations, days after Egypt’s head coach spoke up for Palestine.
This timing is not something anyone should be brushing off as coincidence.
🚨 BREAKING: Israel has killed Mohamed Fawaz al-Wahidi, director of public relations for the Egyptian Committee in Gaza, Tuesday evening in a strike on a civilian vehicle near the governorate building in Gaza City’s al-Sabra neighborhood, per the Palestinian Information Center.
Two other Palestinians, including a child, were killed alongside him and others wounded, per Arabi Post, bringing the day’s death toll from Israeli attacks across Gaza to six, amid ongoing violations of the ceasefire.
The Egyptian Committee, established by President Sisi, is Cairo’s official relief arm in Gaza, distributing food, housing displaced families in camps it built at Netzarim, and clearing rubble.
Israel has killed its personnel before: in January, an Israeli drone struck a vehicle carrying committee workers filming a new displacement camp near Netzarim, killing five people including three journalists working for the committee. Israeli media reported Cairo sent an angry protest demanding explanations for that attack.
The targeted strike and killing of an official of Egypt’s own relief operation comes as Cairo hosts negotiations on the ceasefire’s second phase, with a Hamas delegation in its sixth day of talks there. Reports suggest the strike took place just before the Egypt-Argentina soccer World Cup match.
Argentina's winning goal was immediately preceded by three Argentinian challenges in their own box, every one of which was worse than the soft foul for which Egypt's goal was disallowed.
