"In the West, Palestinians are immediately associated with terrorism, as Israel has seen to it that they are...There is nothing in Palestinian history, absolutely nothing at all to rival the record of Zionist terror against Arabs, other Jews, UN officials."

Edward W. Said, 1979

Tommy Robinson has lost an appeal against his 18-month prison sentence for contempt of court.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was jailed in October last year.

No accident that the aesthetic here is pure white-nationalist imperial nostalgia. Cisfeminism is a "colonial common sense" (Ann Stoler's term) that animates a recurrent internal counterrevolution in women's liberation. TERFs arent just the Brexiteers of feminism, they're the EDL.

[michael @Sisyphusa]

The entire population of North Gaza is at risk of dying.

[Isi Breen @isaiah_bb]

Remember when people were like “even if Biden stops sending weapons, it wouldn’t change anything”

[James🚲Beecher @JamesDBeecher]

Of 110 Health facilities in Gaza: 57% attacked; 45 damaged, 18 destroyed;

35 of 36 hospitals in Gaza have been out of service at least once

(if you've been paying attention you'll have seen much of this before, but its devastating to read it all collated point by point)

[James🚲Beecher @JamesDBeecher]

Devastating report on Gaza collating evidence for the ICJ case. Example content:
~70% of Gaza’s agricultural land of fields and orchards, have been destroyed;
None of the wastewater treatment facilities in Gaza have remained intact or functional

'Incredibly Bedfordshire & Oxfordshire saw their wettest month (of any month) in at least 188 years.'

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

The British Government is still allowing MOST arms sales to Israel despite a partial suspension.

Every MP must fight for a full and immediate arms embargo on Israel.

We need to end our government's complicity in the massacre of Palestinian and Lebanese civilians.
