If these individuals were Jews, the whole of the internet would share photos of Nazis stripping Jews naked and lining up to be sent to concentration camps or to death.

But because the victims are Palestinian, not Jewish, making the same comparison is deemed anti-semitic.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

End all military cooperation with Israel.

[George Galloway @georgegalloway]

Antisemitism and the hate test

It's the Palestinians who are the semites and the Ashkenazis, late converts to Judaism from Eastern Europe, who are not semitic. So hating them is not antisemitic but hating Palestinians is

An apology over Gaza means nothing if the British government doesn’t end its ongoing complicity in genocide.

[John Hughes @Hughe1John]

@LMilk007 @jeremycorbyn Israel was founded by terrorists and it is illegally occupying land. They are also guilty of genocide and torture.

🚨 Lawyers acting for PSC have written to Minister for Local Gov Florence Eshalomi informing her of her responsibility to ensure that council administered pension funds are not investing in companies involved in Israel’s crimes. 🧵

"Anyone who has served in the Israeli Forces in Gaza since October 2023 should be considered a suspect in relation to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of genocide"

-Chris Sidoti, UN Commission of Inquiry on Palestine

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The UN couldn't print the names of Palestinian children murdered and maimed by Israel.

Why?

Because they feared Israel would respond by killing and maiming the families of the children.

Israel interference in Elections in France and Scotland

In April 2016, Ken Livingstone was ambushed by the odious John Mann and a camera crew following factual comments Ken made that Hitler supported Zionism. Ken was subsequently expelled from Labour Party while Mann left the party to become a Tory advisor.

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

Former BBC Middle East correspondent Tim Llewellyn writes of the BBC being a "prime mover" in the "tidal wave of lies and misreporting" about alleged anti-semitism in Corbyn's Labour, and of Israel's financing "a political, racist libel that made impossible proper debate about foreign affairs running up to two general elections".

Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained"

Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

When Ben-Gvir was 18, the IDF refused to draft him for his compulsory military service because his politics were too extreme. 30 years later, Netanyahu appointed him Minister of National Security, in charge of the police and the prisons. Netanyahu knew exactly what he was doing.

[George Galloway @georgegalloway]

This is a German citizen a European Union citizen kidnapped in International waters and savagely beaten by Germany’s ally Israel.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Absolute bombshell. Prominent Australian activist Juliet Lamont exposes the terrifying reality of Zionist detention.

She confirms Israeli forces systematically tortured activists, detailing horrific sexual assaults and beatings. MSM is actively hiding these war crimes.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Not in line with Israel’s values and norms?

That’s not true. Let´s stick to the facts.

While the hundreds of Global Sumud Flotilla activists unlawfully detained by Israel are en route back to their countries, Palestinian prisoners will have to continue to endure unspeakable abuse.

Israel has a long history of incarcerating Palestinians without charge or trial. Its systematic use of administrative detention – detaining Palestinians without charge or trial - is a cornerstone of Israel’s system of #apartheid. Torture and other ill-treatment of Palestinian prisoners have been a cruel reality for decades and only increased in the last 3 years. Over 9,000 Palestinian men, women, and children are currently held in Israel’s prisons. More than a 1,000 are from Gaza and subjected to enforced disappearance or held incommunicado in military facilities and denied access to lawyers or contact with their families.

Amnesty International and other human rights groups have continuously documented a pattern of Israeli authorities inflicting torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment against Palestinians, including through the denial of medicine, food, clothing and sleep, continuous beating, cuffing and blindfolding, dog attacks, rape and other sexual violence, among other abuses. In yet another display of double standards, third states have remained unmoved to the repeated calls to act to bring an end to Israel’s abuses against Palestinians in custody. This must end.

@PSCupdates If South Wales Police are typical of the influence Israel has on our police then this ban is very much welcome.
