Jonathan Schanzer, a pro-Israel pundit a hawkish DC thinktank, claimed in our live CNN debate on ICC arrest warrants tonight that there is no starvation in Gaza and Israel is engaged in a defensive war without any war crimes.
Erm. Okay.
My response to him, with receipts:
@Ostrov_A@DrGiladNoam Oh yeah because obliterating the entirety of Gaza, it's population, it's children, it's homes, it's schools and hospitals, it's places of worship is really going win hearts and minds and lead to peace. Absolutely bizarre logic. #ceasefire
@miqdaad A large number of non Muslims have also abandoned the Labour party, I have cancelled my membership after 20 years, I can't stand their stance on Gaza, turning a blind eye to genocide. Labour was formed to stand up for those without a voice. I can't forgive.
@jeremycorbyn Absolutely! We cannot stop, not only until there is an end to this catastrophic genocide but until there is long lasting justice for Palestine! ✊🇵🇸
@PSCupdates I have been on a few marches. My spirit is lifted when I see the diversity of people demanding an end to this intolerable suffering and loss of life. We can't stop until there is a real lasting justice for Palestinians ✊🇵🇸
Spent the first night of Passover at the student seder in the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia.
The Jewish flank of the Palestine solidarity movement is growing and it is so beautiful to behold.
Judge for yourself how unsafe these Jewish students look.
@mehdirhasan What is the point of the Labour party, they have been a useless opposition (don't oppose anything!), don't stand up for those without a voice. I will not vote for this party as it stands. They are orally corrupt.
@DPJHodges Oh wow I didn't realise you were this cruel. Donating to raise money for babies living in tents getting the food and water they need to survive after their homes have been destroyed is wrong?! The employees accused have already been removed.
@OwenJones84 Just when you thought the Western world couldn't get any more cruel!. Israel have plausibly committed the biggest crime of them all (according to the highest court in the world). Will the arms funding be paused while this is being investigated?! 🤔
@OwenJones84 We can never give up fighting for an end to this sickening genocide, a free Palestine and a fairer world. As Jeremy Corbyn says, EVERY action we take makes an incremental difference. ✊🇵🇸
Enough is enough.
Those silent over Gaza must be shamed.
By not speaking out - when their own government is directly involved - they are complicit in one of the great crimes of our age.
No more excuses - time to shame them all.
This scandal is so disgusting, so outrageous, that those who facilitated must not be allowed to get away with it.
Israel claimed al-Shifa Hospital was "the main headquarters for Hamas’ terrorist activity".
This claim was used to justify attacking the hospital and slaughtering doctors, nurses and patients.
Several Western journalists, commentators and media outlets facilitated this lie.
In doing so they helped justify Israel's assaults on multiple healthcare facilities, and its killing and kidnapping of medical staff.
Well as this Washington Post investigation shows, it was all based on a lie.
A lie which was used to justify a monstrous war crime.

Amanpour: "When you say [the bunker under al-Shifa] was built by Israeli engineers, did you misspeak?
Ehud Barak: "No, decades ago, we were running the place... we helped them to build these bunkers."
Amanpour: "Ok. That's sort of thrown me a little bit."
