#Leeds City Council votes to support divestment of the West Yorkshire Pension Fund from genocide.

Read @leeds_psc’s press release below.

The road ahead is long but this is a crucial, symbolic, landmark moment for our movement. We will not be complicit in Israel’s genocide.

Are Private Eye jokes now... criminal?

PALESTINE Solidarity campaigner Jon Farley was arrested, bundled into a van and taken to the cells during a silent march in Leeds last weekend. What egregious act had prompted the police to act? He was, er, carrying a Private Eye joke piece as a placard!

The police have confirmed there will be no further action and all bail conditions lifted: however, even when no charges are brought, being arrested under the Terrorism Act leaves a record potentially affecting travel and employment.

Read the full story as well as Mr Farley’s description of what happened on the day itself in the latest Private Eye.

Not a single mainstream news outlet reported on Israel's bombing of a tent full of Palestinian journalists last night, including Ahmad Mansour who was visibly burned alive. Glory to Ahmad and all our martyrs. Shame on all media personnel complicit in this Holocaust against Gaza.

A month later they hunted him and left his family with deep anguish that will stay with them forever.

I can’t imagine. I can’t even fathom this pain.

#Israel has just murdered 23-year-old Al Jazeera journalist @HossamShabat. Israel has intentionally, deliberately & strategically targeted & murdered at least 208 journalists in #Gaza since October 2023. The world’s press outlets have blood on their hands for remaining silent.

One person, in a singular act, with zero budget, counters multi hundred million dollar Zionist propaganda machine.
More and more of this will come. Make it an avalanche of truth and righteous rage.

GAZA’S NOT FOR GRABS

Today’s regional march for Palestine in #Bradford is proof that the solidarity movement for the full liberation of #Palestine is not going anywhere. 16 months has not deterred us… we will not stop, we will not rest.

[Yorkshire Palestine Collective @YPalCollective]

Vindication for @RayCampbell19. The Ws keep coming.

The ‘Campaign Against Antisemitism’ is being found out with every bogus claim & its weaponisation of antisemitism against people speaking out about racist Israeli state policies will continue to falter. Zionists, cry more.

[Artists for Palestine UK @Art4PalestineUK]

London university apologises to lecturer wrongly accused of antisemitism and pays a settlement after suspending him during an investigation - which cleared him.

Important thread👇

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

REPORT | The Bibas family has stated that they have received no official details about how their loved ones died and have asked the media to stop publishing unverified reports.

Their request comes after Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari claimed in a televised statement that Hamas militants “did not shoot the two young boys — they killed them with their bare hands.” He further alleged that militants then “committed horrific acts to cover up these atrocities.”

Hagari said this assessment was based on “forensic findings from the identification process and intelligence that supports these findings,” adding that Israel had shared this information with its international partners.

But, not a shred of evidence was shared publicly to support any of these claims. And, it appears not even with the Bibas family.

“Any publication of details (including references to the treatment of the bodies) is against the family’s wishes, and we ask that this be avoided,” a statement by the family said.
“The family has not received any such details from official sources,” it added.

This complete lack of proof did not stop various prominent figures and media personalities from uncritically repeating Israeli military claims. Here is a partial list: 🧵⬇️
