@DalrympleWill Yup, a whole lot of inshallahs and alhamdulillahs, etc!

Not just racist, the myth of 'imported antisemitsm' is an astoundingly revisionist claim, considering that Christian European countries invented antisemitism and perpetuated it in the most pernicious, violent and deadly ways for centuries on end

A doctor who saved lives in #Gaza is now fighting for his own.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya - detained without charges for over 500 days- is reportedly being tortured & at an imminent risk of death in Israeli detention.

Abu Safiya is among 14 Gaza doctors (pediatricians, surgeons & other specialists) who remain detained without charge, many for more than a year.

Their continued detention deprives patients of vital care & further undermines Gaza’s shattered healthcare system.

Their release is essential to saving lives + restoring Gaza’s shattered healthcare system.

Keir Starmer has done a trade deal with Donald Trump that could end up costing our NHS £45 billion - and, experts say, cause more Britons to die than Covid.

So why is hardly anyone talking about it?

“My mum could not be here either for a visa issue, and the money we had to pay for it.”

This is genuinely sad. What FIFA and the U.S. have done in this WC should not be brushed off as just another tournament controversy. A historic disgrace.

A must read from Rachel Shabi.

‘Solidarity must be forged in the understanding that all racism, whether that be anti-Black racism, antisemitism, or Islamophobia, is the creation of the unjust systems that govern us.’

[Labour Left Podcast @BrynHGriffiths]

I think Rachel Shabi is the go to person for those of us on the left who want to navigate & oppose antisemitism. A must read for all of us on the pro-Palestinian left seeking to avoid elephant traps.

For more Rachel see her Labour Left Podcast appearance in the replies. 1/2

If anything, it proves the complete and utter failure of Israel's strategy.

Breaking news: if your adversary gets stronger and more confident as the war goes on - you ain't winning.

Israel dropped a bomb on Mona’s home in Mansouri, South Lebanon, today.

Mona is not a fighter.

She is an environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles.

Because of Israel, Mona is now fighting for her life in a hospital bed.

The brilliant @rachshabi making sense of the duality of rising antisemitism & it’s weaponisation:

“It is entirely possible – in fact vital– to hold compassion for a fearful Jewish minority facing violent antisemitism, while rejecting the way such fears can be manipulated for political ends.”
