You were part of a cabinet that armed and supported a genocidal apartheid Israeli state.
Spare us the crocodile tears.
No amount of revisionism erases your role in that. You’re complicit, whether you like it or not.
every light a home where people used to live, love, try, fail, shit, eat and hug. each gone is someone’s life destroyed through death or displacement.
the fact we live in such a world where the rich are able to simply decide this is fine is an indictment of the human species.

Today is "Jerusalem Day" in Israel.
The day celebrates Israel's conquest of Jerusalem in June 1967. Here's a short synopsis on what is being celebrated:
Shortly after Israel occupied Jerusalem, on June 10, 1967, Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek ordered 650-1,000 Palestinians living in the Moroccan neighborhood of Jerusalem to evacuate their homes, given only a few hours. https://t.co/LddbbxKx9Q
Israeli bulldozers then worked around the clock to level the entire neighborhood, destroying 135 houses, two mosques, and several religious shrines. At least one elderly woman, Rasmiyya Tabaki, was reportedly buried alive in the rubble because she did not hear the evacuation order. https://t.co/ZbAFQbi7Dd
Then, on June 19, Israel’s cabinet decided to annex Jerusalem, including some seventy square kilometers of the West Bank, later called East Jerusalem.
Israeli occupation forces imposed curfews & arbitrarily detained Palestinians throughout Jerusalem, causing about 7% of the population, about 5,000-7,000 Palestinians, mostly 1948 refugees, to flee the city. https://t.co/UDBVZzKEY8
Israeli forces then expelled another 4,000 Palestinians from the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, replacing them with Jews, and continued to deport the city’s prominent residents in the summer of 1967 and beyond, including ‘Abd al-Hamid al-Sa’ih and Ruhi Alkhatib. https://t.co/cFhXfrcUhw
Israel then conducted a census to determine who would be provided a “Jerusalem ID.” Some 26,000 Palestinians, about 37% of the population, happened to be outside the city at the time of the census and lost the right to live in their own city. https://t.co/XIJnrrw3XV
But Israel had grander plans for depopulation. For weeks after the war’s end, Israel provided free bus service from Jerusalem and other parts of the occupied territory to the border with Jordan. “For days and weeks lines of buses ran from the Damascus Gate [in Jerusalem] to the Allenby Bridge [on the River Jordan],” as Israeli President, Chaim Herzog, revealed publicly and proudly years later. The buses were labeled “To Amman -- Free of Charge.” https://t.co/g2zOdbbJR7
Palestinians were only allowed to cross the border if they signed a statement acknowledging they were leaving on their own volition. "There were also not a few people who were simply expelled,” an Israeli soldier confessed. “We forced them to sign. They did not want to leave, but were dragged from the bus while being kicked and hit by revolver butts. By the time they arrived to my stall, they were usually already completely blurred at this stage and did not care much about signing. It seemed to them part of the process.” Nothing screams "voluntary" like a signature requirement! https://t.co/g2zOdbbJR7
The soldiers turned violent in cases of disobedience. “When someone refused to give me his hand [for fingerprinting] they came and beat him badly,” he said. “Then I was forcibly taking his thumb, immersing it in ink and finger printing him. This way the refuseniks were removed. . . I have no doubt that tens of thousands of men were removed against their will.” Nothing screams of “voluntary decision” quite like a forced declaration. https://t.co/g2zOdbbJR7
Jerusalem Day is the celebration of occupation, violence, ethnic cleansing and murder. No surprise that today, is the day Israeli Jews chant death to the Arabs and roam around Jerusalem destroying Palestinian property and attacking Palestinians. It's a celebration of Israel's apartheid regime.
Don't you love nostalgia bait created by people whose knowledge of the past is hallucinatory nonsense half remembered from watching their parents copies of the goonies and breakfast club
Recency bias and all that but I can't think of a crazier end to a season than the rochdale v york game, this tops Aguero for me.
Can't even imagine how sick rochdale fans must be right now
As the Metropolitan Police rolls out facial recognition nationwide, remember that the software is from Israeli firm Corsight AI and was used as part of the Gaza genocide first.
