Mèrcie mille fais (many thanks) to @BBCMaryam for shining an international spotlight on #JerseyCI, #Jèrriais, & my latest musical adventure, @LaDgaingue. There was even a clip of @Badlabecques!

Here's part of our chat (edited down for Twitter) on the BBC News channel. Oui dgia!

[Gary Spedding @GarySpedding]

So we are now saying that the existence of Palestinians, displays of Palestinian identity & peoplehood (i.e. a Palestinian flag pin), & Palestinian cultural symbols are a risk of being offensive in the NHS.

But Ukrainian flags and such isn't offensive to Russian NHS patients?

I'm sorry, I didn't realize Israel had now escalated to the "quadruple tap" where they just keep killing and killing as people try desperately to help the wounded

[Dr Rahmeh Aladwan @doctor_rahmeh]

To make sure British citizens realise what's going on, Palantir can now:

• Build and run the National Firearms Registry, tracking the addresses and medical files of 500,000 gun and explosives holders across all 43 police forces.

• Map your digital footprint by trialling police systems (like Project Nectar) that pull your texts, call logs, emails, and social media data into a single profile.

• Track your physical movements by linking live number plate trackers, CCTV locations, and mobile phone tower pings.

• Process unverified intelligence by feeding anonymous tips and police notes about who you meet into automated linking models.

• Profile police officers using data-matching tools that actively scrape the device logs, vehicle uses, and system logins of a force's own employees.

• Access direct NHS data through a £330 million contract, using admin privileges that let engineers view patient environments before the files are scrambled (pseudonymised).

This is the same Palantir used to coordinate the largest simultaneous terrorist attack in history by the IOF in Lebanon.

This is the same Palantir used by the IOF since 2014 and actively being used in Gaza.

Friendly reminder that Pride isn't about turning your straight kids into gay kids. It's about not turning gay kids into dead kids.

[Niz @NizMhani]

This opens up a can of worms @NHSEngland

🔴Will poppies be banned?
🔴Will LGBTQ/Pride emblems be banned?
🔴Is a Palestinian flag with no text considered "political"?
🔴Why is a Palestinian flag considered to "anti Jewish hatred"? Is that idea not racist towards Palestinians?
🔴Will all flags, including Union Jack and St Georges Cross, be banned?
🔴Will Ukraine badges be banned?
🔴Will the Star of David be banned?
🔴Where is the line that constitutes what is "political" and what is not? Is a Keffiyah a political symbol?
🔴Can badges be worn on clothing on the way to and from work?
🔴If a Jewish person decides to wear a Palestine badge, is that Jewish person exhibiting "anti Jewish hatred"?

[Torah Jews @TorahJews]

You are essentially attempting to rewrite history by falsely redefining Jews as a nationality.

Jews can be French, Polish, American, or citizens of any other nation.

Jews are a religious collective.

Ironically, Zionists and antisemites have long agreed on one thing and that is the false claim that Jews are a separate national group. With such friends who needs enemies?

[Voice of Rabbis @voiceofrabbis]

The entire claim remains on a fraudulent premise — that Judea is to the Jews as France is to the French or Italy is to the Italians.

That premise is false.
Categorically false.

France is the state of French citizens.
Italy is the state of Italian citizens.
Israel is the state of Israeli citizens — not of Jews worldwide.

Jews are not a nationality attached to a sovereign state.

They are a group of people dispersed across many countries, holding many citizenships.

Most Jews are not Israeli.
They don't vote in Israel.
They do not live under Israeli law.
They owe Israel no political allegiance.

Zionism survives by erasing that distinction.

It trains people to hear “Israel” and think “the Jews,” because without that conflation the argument collapses.

And this conflation is not accidental.
It is foundational to the ideology.

But that linkage is profoundly anti-Semitic.

To say Israel is “the state of the Jews” is to revive the oldest anti-Semitic accusation: that Jews everywhere are politically bound to a foreign country.

My country is the United States.
Israel is the country of Israelis.

Anyone who insists otherwise is redefining Jews as foreigners in their own countries.

Only two ideologies insist that Israel is “the state of all Jews”:
anti-Semitism — and Zionism.

And “anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism” is a lie.

It is a necessary link to protect that conflation.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

The genocide seems unstoppable,
Necrocapitalism seems invincible- but they are not!

All we need is UNITY. COORDINATION. PERSEVERANCE.

Keep Protesting. Striking. Boycotting. Litigating.

Not just once.
All the times needed till the Apartheid ends and the system which fed it too.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

The IDF has been accused of horrific war crimes in Gaza by the UN Human Rights Council & Amnesty International.

It is just common sense that those involved in war crimes should be held to account.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

We're going to have to repeat a lot that many Jewish people don't support Israel's genocide.

Criticism of the Israeli Government and their war crimes has nothing to do with who is or isn't Jewish.

To conflate them like this is both harmful and antisemitic.

[Shattubatu @Shattubatu]

Men secretly love that trans women exist because we are a class of women its socially acceptable for them to assault and rape.

Their porn habits (and my dms... 🤢) show they see us as women sexually, "transphobia" is just an excuse for them to express their misogyny.

[Voice of Rabbis @voiceofrabbis]

Listen to this short street interview:

“We are against the Israeli government, We are not permitted to establish our own government, We are a religion"

Jews who truly believe in the Torah never supported Zionism.

Zionism stands in contradiction to traditional Judaism.

There is no place for Zionism within Judaism. The Jewish connection to the Holy Land is spiritual, not political.

For centuries, Jews never sought to conquer Palestine or establish sovereignty there.

Our goal has always been to live peacefully alongside our Muslim neighbors.

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.

Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.

Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

Israeli soldiers invaded the Lebanese village of Ain Arab and went door to door telling everyone:

"you either leave right now or you die."

Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon.

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

Israel is weaponizing mountains of garbage in Gaza against the population. The Israeli army is blocking access to Gaza's landfill & banning the entry of trucks or other heavy equipment to the enclave

This created a giant overpopulation of rodents, insects, scorpions & snakes, & rapid spread of diseases

UN says it'd take 180 days to clear out those piles if 50 trucks are used each day

Israeli general (res.) Giora Eiland has called for the deliberate weaponization of disease & starvation in the genocide

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

It's an outrageous smear to suggest @hasanthehun should be banned from the UK for antisemitism.

Here's his speech last year denouncing the evil of anti-Jewish racism.

This is about suppressing voices who oppose Israel's genocide.

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

The thing about libel is it has to be untrue.

A Jewish baby born today in a West Bank community will have full rights in Israel, a vote in national elections, and access to civilian courts; a Palestinian baby born in that same community will have no democratic rights, tight restrictions on their movement, frequent harassment from settlers, and no access to justice beyond what Israel’s unaccountable military courts mete out.

That’s apartheid. It’s just literally apartheid.

If you think apartheid is really evil, such that it’s a terrible thing to say about a country, well, you’re right, it is. That’s why we have an issue here.

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

lol literally the moment I started to shake off the hasbara propaganda I grew up brainwashed by was taking a South African history class in college. The class never mentioned Israel once — but I couldn’t help noticing that nearly every one of the justifications and origin myths that propped up Afrikaner rule almost precisely paralleled the justifications and origin myths I’d been taught about Israel.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Literal Nazis rioting in Southampton.

These are our 'patriots'!

People who value white British lives so much that they celebrate a German regime which killed hundreds of thousands of Brits.

Including over 600 killed in Southampton by Nazi bombs.

[B O G ~ D W E L L E R @real_bogdweller]

remember like a month ago when zach polanski retweeted a member of the public's concerns about police conduct and all of politics came screeching to a halt for the day to condemn such a wholly inappropriate political interference into operational policing?
