🇮🇷🇮🇱 Iranian President Pezeshkian on the DOUBLE STANDARDS regarding nuclear bombs with Iran and Israel:
"Atomic and nuclear bombs are in the hands of the Israeli regime, but the inspectors are requested to come to Iran.
Israel has the bombs, has weapons of mass destruction, is not a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, during her shameful life has not allowed a single inspection, but they are rewarded by all the means necessary for them to be able to bomb any capital in the region at will."
He's right

Just imagine for a moment if the Iranian president stood up at the UN, imagine if Ahmadinejad had come to the UNGA, and said: “Do I annihilate the Jewish state, and do it quickly? Do I drive Israel into hell?”
Imagine the Western and global and media response and outcry.
ERDOGAN: ‘ISLAMOPHOBIA IS SPREADING LIKE A PLAGUE IN THE WEST’
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has condemned the rise of Islamophobia across the West, warning that Muslim women and girls are increasingly facing discrimination.
Addressing world leaders at the UN General Assembly in New York, Erdogan described headscarf bans imposed in schools by certain countries as an attack on women's fundamental rights.
He also called for determined action against rising xenophobia, cultural racism and antisemitism.
Almighty. Protect us from the evil around. Grant us strength and good patience to cope with our trials. Help us surrender to Your Decree because You know what we don’t. You know what we need. You know what’s best for us. Aameen.
Sanctions against settlement goods are welcome, but they must only be a first step.
Britain must end all military cooperation, all intelligence sharing, and all forms of complicity in Israel’s apartheid, occupation and genocide.
Funny how immigrants get accused of hating the UK and not assimilating, meanwhile here is a British Zionist who was born, raised, educated in the UK, spent almost all of his life working in the UK, now attacking his country in a vicious and patronizing way.
🇬🇧 NEW: Jeremy Corbyn called on Britain to demand Israel’s complete withdrawal from Gaza and end RAF surveillance flights, intelligence sharing, the use of RAF Akrotiri and Israeli weapons production at Elbit Systems factories in Britain.
“If we’re serious about ending the military occupation, then we have to play a very full part in achieving that,” Corbyn said.
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband replied that he wants Israel to withdraw and Hamas to disarm, but defended Britain’s “important and valued intelligence and security relationships with Israel.”
He insisted: “We are not in any sense helping with the occupation.” He did not address Corbyn’s questions about RAF Akrotiri or Elbit Systems.
My statement on Israel's decision to ban me and 10 other British MPs from entry.
"I have visited all parts of Palestine on several occasions, where I have witnessed the horrors of occupation, as well as the resilience and humanity of the Palestinian people.
They are the ones who suffer from Israel's apartheid. It is their freedom which is egregiously curtailed, alongside thousands of Palestinian refugees who are denied the right of return.
As the world wakes up to the genocide in Gaza, it is shocking that Israel continues to deny entry to UN investigators and international journalists. Israel doesn't want the world to see what it is doing - but we can never give up in our attempts to expose the truth.
That is the real scandal. Israel’s genocide cannot go unpunished - and I will keep speaking up for peace, freedom and justice for the Palestinian people."
The shift in the new Labour leadership's stance on Israel is a welcome start, however, let's not shy away from the facts. Israel stands accused of genocide. As signatory to the Genocide Convention the government has a duty to fulfil all measures to ensure it is not complicit.
“The sinister creep of extreme Islam in this country is real and it is insidious.”
Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin gave an Islamophobic speech at yesterday's Reform conference in Birmingham, claiming that parallel communities and “Shariah courts" - which force women to remain in abusive marriages - operate and need confronting.
The far-right conspiracy claiming that Britain has hundreds of Islamic Shariah Courts which operate a parallel legal system has been debunked many times. Britain has 0 Islamic Courts. In reality, Britain has Shariah Councils which hold no legal power and are purely a voluntary service which some Muslims enjoy engaging with.
We need love, kindness and care to get through that tough week, the grey skies and storm clouds in life. For the times when things go wrong, when we feel lost, when everyone else appears to be doing well, know that the Almighty hasn’t abandoned us. He knows.
Waiting is not easy. We feel exhausted at times, on the verge of giving up. We may even lower our expectations. But we have to press on because only You know when the time is right. Almighty. Keep our faith firm while waiting, trusting You always.
