The Speaker of the Commons has announced that he ignored precedent & selected motions because of MP’s concerns of violent retribution if presented with the usual alternatives. This is not a Westminster issue, it’s a democratic crisis if it’s true. So we need to find out if it is.

[David Hirsh @DavidHirsh]

We've all been banging on about this for 8 years now, but the journalists and their researchers don't seem to have noticed.

Hamas and Hezbollah: dedicated to social and political justice throughout the region.

He never rebutted it because nobody ever confronted him with it.

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

Pentagon spokesperson also reads a statement declassifying US intelligence assessment on Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and their use of hospitals.

“We do have information that Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad use some hospitals in the Gaza Strip, including the Al Shifa Hospital, as a way to conceal and support their military operations and hold hostages. They have tunnels underneath these hospitals. Hamas and PIJ members operate a command and control node from Al Shifa hospital in Gaza city, they have weapons stored there, and are prepared to respond to an Israeli military operation against the facility.”

[European Jewish Congress @eurojewcong]

Hundreds of thousands of people across France marched on Sunday against rising antisemitism.

Thank you to everyone who came out to show support and solidarity with the Jewish community at this difficult time.

[Matthew Rhodes ن @MatthewRhodes]

@northernheckler @TracyAnnO Yes, completely beggars belief...

[Alex Crawford @AlexCrawfordSky]

I’m not sure - but can only hope the journalists in #Gaza realise how very important their work is. Incredible bravery. Vital testimony

[Iain Macwhirter @iainmacwhirter]

Worth remembering what happened when Bill Clinton tried to deliver a ceasefire and a Palestinian state. Hamas wrecked it. It’s what they do.

[European Jewish Congress @eurojewcong]

Antisemitism is on the rise in the United Kingdom following Hamas' brutal attack against Israel.

Europe's Jews have seen it before.

Every effort must be made to protect the Jewish community.

[David Hirsh @DavidHirsh]

Who is in favour of the indiscriminate killing of human beings?

If there's a war that you think is unwise, if there is a war that you think is costing too much in civilian lives lost, if there is a war that you think is avoidable - make your case.

Don't just make things up.

BREAKING: Starmer asks for perfectly normal collective responsibility among shadow government, not to mention standard party discipline for a whipped vote.

[Tracy-Ann Oberman MBE @TracyAnnO]

To every one on the so called ‘peace marches ‘ taking place every weekend please remember THIS man is your lead spokesperson . A man who is a Hamas apologist a friend of genocidal Iranian backed death cults . Not A Peace March.

[Labour Friends of Israel @_LFI]

Israeli Labor @HavodaParty leader @MeravMichaeli to the global left:

"[Calling for a] cease-fire now is giving permission to Hamas to continue rearming itself, continue stealing food, water, medicine and fuel from its own people and yes, rebasing itself"

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

38 days after she was believed to be kidnapped into Gaza, Vivian Silver was just identified as one of the people slaughtered by Hamas on the October 7th massacre.

Vivian is one of Israel's best-known campaigners for peace with the Palestinians.

May her memory be a blessing.

[Tracy-Ann Oberman MBE @TracyAnnO]

You ask for evidence of Hamas atrocities . It’s here . Where are my feminist friends ? My Womens Rights friends - or is excusing rape and sexual colonic against Jewish women part of the movement . shame on you all.

[Jack Lubner @JackLubner]

Corbyn can’t say whether Hamas are a terrorist group and calls it “tittle tattle politics”

I guess we’ll never know why his ‘leadership’ led to institutional racism against Jews

The most extraordinary interview moment of the Israel-Hamas war following the October 7 Massacre https://t.co/Ub6njwVuZV

[Daniel Sugarman @Daniel_Sugarman]

I am extremely proud that this man hates the organisation I work for.

It clearly massively frustrates him that so many British Jews understand exactly who he is & refuse to be used as his pawns.

British Jews show strength & courage every single day. Him & his ilk can jog on.

[Campaign Against Antisemitism @antisemitism]

Anyone with information about these individuals should inform @MetPoliceUK immediately.

If there are people on our streets advocating for terrorist groups, they must be brought to justice.

[Mike Katz @mikekatz]

Ah, but he was always so terribly misunderstood...

The fact this man was put to the country as a viable alternative PM to Boris Johnson (of all people) is a tragedy which the Labour Party must never forget. A moral wasteland, his abhorrent views pickled into a rigid dogma.

[Dave Rich @daverich1]

Corbyn’s refusal to call Hamas terrorists is not anomalous. It is the standard view amongst the organisers of the anti-Israel protests and many of the speakers too. That’s why it frightens so many Jews to see 300k people marching behind them.
