Just listen closely to the words of this man.

Back in 2008, US Senator Bill Bradley called NATO's expansion a colossal screw-up.
He said NATO had broken the promises made to Gorbachev.
Bradley warned that it would backfire, locking the West into a cycle of hostility with Russia.

And look where we are now.
He was right, but nobody listened.

Yesterday the Police tried to silence the words of a poet, today 28k people have listened to Michael Rosen's poem 'Don't Mention The Children' @MichaelRosenYes

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

Two years ago today, the world’s top court ruled that Israel’s occupation of Palestine is illegal - and Governments must act to end it!

With over 80 MPs and Lords, I've called on the Foreign Secretary to introduce sanctions on Israel to meet our legal and moral obligations.

ALL BETS ARE OFF

It seemed that the Empire of Piracy had avoided targeting Iranian civilian infrastructure after Tehran threatened to counter-strike against the UAE's ports and airports.

Not really.

The US attacked the Darkhovin nuclear power plant in Khuzestan: still in construction, with a made in Iran nuclear power reactor, and under the protection of the IAEA.

Once again, international law has been bombed.

And the escalation ladder is out of control.

After the World Cup Final, all bets are off.

Iran will be free to wreak havoc on GCC infrastructure.

@PeteHegseth You ritually sacrificed them for your masters in apartheid Israel

[Ori Goldberg @ori_goldberg]

You've read this here a thousand times. Israelis support the genocide by refraining not only from acknowledging the genocide but from accepting the humanity of Palestinians in toto. Reading Israeli social media now, it is all about "religious coercion" (limitation of civil rights) and "a shared burden" (conscripting the ultraorthodox because the IDF urgently needs new troops to continue the genocide). Gaza, dying in the heat and a plethora of siege- and lack-induced diseases? Fuck them. Don't start wars you can't win. The West Bank, crumbling under joblessness created intentionally by Israel? See under Gaza.

The evil of dehumanization is not unique to zionism. It has been brought to an extreme by Israel and zionism. Pep Guardiola really was right (as were Rage Against the Machine) - If you tolerate this, them your children will be next. Don't.

[Scott Ritter @RealScottRitter]

Joe, we started this.

“Hit Iran hard” is nonsensical.

It implies we are not “hitting Iran hard.”

And, of course, Iran will not just sit there and take it.

They will then “hit us hard.”

We’re not the good guys in this.

If we were, you’d never advocate us bringing this to an end.

We’re the bad guys.

Stop advocating violence in support of a corrupt cause.

Bring the US troops home.

Team brilliance won over dazzling individualism to secure the World Cup for Spain. Functioning, wholesome multiculturalism also got a share of the glory. Football overcame, only just, the rabid commodification and the corporate shenanigans that almost killed its spirit. Food for thought about all the other realms of human endeavour. https://t.co/jkANOr2VRf

The National newspaper reported that Scottish police arrested pro Palestine activist Bill Williamson, 74, while he was taking part in a solidarity vigil for Palestine and reading a poem about the suffering of Palestinian children killed in the Gaza Strip.

The incident took place on July 4, 2026, during a weekly vigil outside Dunoon Town Hall in Scotland, where Williamson was reading the poem “Do Not Mention the Children” by British Jewish poet Michael Rosen through a loudspeaker.

Tomorrow, the new Prime Minister should do something very simple: end all arms sales to Israel.

[Glenn Diesen @Glenn_Diesen]

NATO's objective of bringing the war to Russia is advancing, as evidenced by today's attack on Wildberries in Moscow. This can only go on for so long before Russia brings the war to NATO territory. Lunacy.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

🇪🇸Certain victories remind us that freedom can still prevail.

Thank you Spain and to all those who continue to stand with courage and dignity on the side of justice.

Gracias, equipo.

This is the poem by Michael Rosen @MichaelRosenYes 'Don't mention the children' Someone was arrested in Scotland for reading it at a protest #poetry

Seguimos con máxima atención la evolución del incendio de Guadalajara, que ya ha calcinado más de 13.000 hectáreas.

Todo mi reconocimiento a quienes trabajan sin descanso para proteger vidas y contener el fuego.

Negar la emergencia climática no hace que desaparezca. Solo nos hace más vulnerables.

[Perkin Simnel @PSimnel]

@CarlZha PS : I decided to stay after my 1st year working 4 foreign NGO instead of carrying on in another country. I never regretted this decision. Loved evry bit of my life in China from Guangxi to Beijing til 2023. I miss it very much. Chinese is a better language to tell this 缘定心乡

[Perkin Simnel @PSimnel]

@CarlZha I came to China, Guangxi autonomous province, much later in 2002, there were still places where it was very close to that

[Cyrus Janssen @thecyrusjanssen]

This tweet sums up how stupid many Americans are about the war in Iran. The propaganda in the US media is remarkable. Every day we are told:

The US has already won the war! Iran has no military! The Strait of Hormuz is open! But then the reality of the situation hits home 👇

The Strait of Hormuz is under full Iranian control. Only ships that have Iran’s authorization can pass. It doesn’t matter if the US has a more superior Navy, we can’t get our massive battleships anywhere close to Iran or they would be struck with drones and missiles. Iran can control the Strait with speedboats, missiles and drones

How can Iran still attack? This is a country 4x larger than Iraq and is full of mountains. They have prepared for this war for decades and have massive missile stockpiles. There is no logistical way possible for the United States to win this war and only an idiot would choose to start a war against Iran

But that is exactly what Trump is! For 30 years Netanyahu has waited to find a US President dumb enough to take the bait and launch a war against Iran. Trump took the bait and now the entire world economy is under threat

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Thousands of us are in London today with a message to the new Prime Minister: we are not disappearing, we are not going away, and we will never stop campaigning for the liberation of Palestine.

End Britain’s complicity in genocide, now.
