NEVER FORGET
Ten years before 7th October…
July 16, 2014, a man carrying an injured child and another lying dead on Gaza City's beach after an Israeli naval strike killed four Palestinian boys aged 9-11
ISRAEL INVESTIGATED AND CONCLUDED THE STRIKES TARGETED SUSPECTED
HAMAS OPERATIVES‼️
What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

There is such a fundamental failure to understand how the political project that delivered us Starmer despises accoubtability journalism and the privacy it relies on, and how it has genuine, censorious disdain for divergent views. They literally targeted multiple journalists, including me, and reported us to the security services for investigating their unlawful conduct!
You think a government that bans Palestine Action and arrests thousands of protectors for speech won't use these systems for uses beyond protecting children? You think a government introducing untested AI into every aspect of our life cares about online harms? You think a government that sends arms to Israel as it kills babies and children in Gaza and Lebanon cares about child safety?
What's happening is that the people who supplicated before Mandelson despite his connections to Epstein are using justified fears of child exploitation to force through the worst provisions of the original, deplorable Online Safety Act through the backdoor, and then handing a system of algorithmic surveillance to the rising far right, who will turn it on people protecting migrant rights and other vulnerable populations. These sorts of systems are already being used by the US to identify anti-ICE protectors. For Gods sake, this last week the right have been building consent to make it harmful to even address systemic racial inequalities!
Mahmood, Starmer and this government are democratic vandals, and it is so on-brand that they're pushing through monumental, transformative policies just as they're about to be be booted out of power, after having plunged the Labour Party into an existential crisis.
Sections of the media are just absolute bullshit.
They've always been a problem - but now they're literally lying and making up things that have never been said.
The only way to defeat the billionaire media is to organise around them.

We're at the point where the Telegraph are literally making up quotes.
I said when veg is sold for pennies in supermarkets, it's a sign someone's not being paid properly.
Farmers being paid a pittance for their produce.
Workers on less than a living wage in supermarkets.
The same people who are destroying our planet should not be getting subsidised by the government at a time when we're in the climate crisis.
My speech to the Bakers Food and Allied Workers Union 👇🏼
Hey @AndyBurnhamGM how about making this your policy too? Or are you too afraid of the UK Israel lobby?
Vote Green 💚 if you don't want cowards in Westminster
🔴 Israel closed Gaza’s crossings after Iran and Israel traded fire yesterday, halting the departure of critically ill patients in need of treatment abroad.
According to doctors, around 4,000 cancer patients and 20,000 patients are unable to leave the territory for life-saving care.
20-year-old Malak Naim died after repeated delays prevented her from accessing treatment outside Gaza until it was too late, Gaza Notifications reports. Medical officials say the collapse of Gaza’s oncology system and restrictions on medical evacuations have turned many otherwise treatable cancers into death sentences, per Al Jazeera.
I had asked about this horrific crime by Israel — using drones to broadcast recordings of crying children so they could shoot Palestinians who were lured — when I first saw it reported in Gaza in 2024.
The Biden admin spokesperson saw no evil.
The Trump spokesperson hasn’t had a briefing in almost a year.
Now Israel is reportedly doing it in Lebanon. Video by @decensorednews
🔴 The son of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza held in Israeli detention since December 2024, warned Monday that his father’s life is in danger after being transferred to solitary confinement in Nafha Prison — a move the family says came in direct retaliation for filing a legal appeal with the Israeli Supreme Court.
The family says Abu Safiya is being held in a two-meter cell with no food, water, medicine, or access to his lawyer.
“How can a person be punished for asking why he is being detained?” his son asked in an urgent public appeal. “Every hour that passes without action may bring more suffering and pain.”
BREAKING: Israel has just issued an evacuation order for the entirety of the biblical city of Tyre.
No more “safe zones.” No more fake ceasefire. No more good-cop-bad-cop routine between Trump and Netanyahu.
Israeli ethnic cleansing is in full effect.
What is the point, John? Why should we care about Jess's readmittance to a party that is no different from the parties we didn't vote for? There comes a point where you have to admit it doesn't matter.
Yes, this 1000 times. Westminster (journalists and politicians) simply do not grasp, deep in their bones, the enormity of genocide. And so they don't see that it has been transformative and conscientising for millions of people.
Mark Zuckerberg, an outspoken critic of "man-made climate change", shows off his new $300 million, 287-foot mega yacht, powered by four gigantic diesel engines.
Yet another stark reminder that Net Zero is only for the peasants
“U.S. may soon designate UNRWA as a foreign terrorist organization.”
Proscribing an aid organisation is going to set an unbelievably horrific precedent.
Israel’s influence over the US is insane
