The rise of anti-Muslim hatred and hostility should shame us all. 45% of religious hate crime is targeted at the Muslim community. This is a reality none of us should accept - and one our @UKLabour government is determined to tackle. 👇🏾

"If you say or imply people cannot be English or British because of the colour of their skin...if you say they should be deported, then mark my words, we will fight you with everything we have."

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer tells the Labour Party conference that inciting "racist violence and hatred" is not free speech, but "criminal".

@AngelaRayner, you are a true working class hero.

It’s a privilege to follow in your footsteps as our nation’s Housing Secretary.

Witnessing the Palestinian flag in London was powerful - yet recognition isn’t enough. Real sovereignty demands dismantling settlement structures, unconditional support......

The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for the Prime Minister of Israel for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

So yesterday I asked: How can our government still be supplying his military with weapons?

[Barry Gardiner MP @BarryGardiner]

Condemnation is no longer good enough.
Anything short of full sanctions has become complicity.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza as “genocide” in some of the harshest public criticism of the country by a Saudi official since the start of the war.

Saudi crown prince says Israel committing 'genocide' in Gaza https://t.co/LAqDJ0RO93

[Maslaha @Maslaha]

We're seeing a widening of policing powers to criminalise and control Muslim thought and identity

The case against Marieha Hussain, charged with a hate crime for carrying a satirical placard at a pro-Palestine match, is one example

It reinforces the idea of the Muslim threat

[Chris Doyle @Doylech]

Thank you Archbishop for receiving us, for your statements and genuine concern for all Palestinians including the beleaguered Christian community. Huge thanks to @SabeelKairos for arranging.

[Labour Muslim Network @LabourMuslims]

The UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) has condemned the Israeli force's "increasingly military response" in the occupied West Bank.

The OHCHR says that the Israeli military's recent operation in the West Bank is being conducted "in a manner which violates international law".

ℹ️ | We are seeing lots of videos being shared online that were filmed at previous protests or during previous incidents.

There has been no disorder in London this weekend and the videos are likely being shared to mislead or to fuel tension.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Gaza: In the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century, Israel is genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one 'safe zone' at the time. With US and European weapons. And amid the indifference of all "civilised nations".

May the Palestinians forgive us for our collective inability to protect them, honoring the most basic meaning of intl law.

[Home Office @ukhomeoffice]

We’re strengthening protection for Muslim communities across the UK.

Watch Home Secretary @YvetteCooperMP's message ⬇️

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

This is not protest, it is pure violence.

We will have a standing army of public duty officers.

We will ramp up criminal justice.

We will apply criminal law online as well as offline.

We will not tolerate attacks on mosques or on Muslim communities.

[Jaffer A. Mirza @jafferamirza]

Are Muslims in Britain 'outsiders' or 'invaders'? A short thread on Muslim interaction with Britain:

* Muslims began trading with Britain in the 7th century
*Arabic inscription can be found on the Ballycotton cross dated to the 9th century

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

I utterly condemn the far-right thuggery we have seen this weekend.

Be in no doubt: those who have participated in this violence will face the full force of the law.

[Urban Muslimz @UrbanMuslimz]

Beatings, stabbing and mosques sieged: Racist attacks carried out by far-right mobs https://t.co/b2LEF3awV2

[thediyora.bluesky.social @thediyora]

We’ve now had verified reports of Muslims being punched, stabbed and attacked with acid in England in the space of a few days. What do you even say at this point. This is so scary and yet politicians remain silent.
