Bills up.

Wages too low.

Record profits for Oil & Gas.

50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population.

Shit in our rivers.

Pensioners jailed for protesting.

Migrants thrown under the bus.

Supporting a Genocide.

That's Starmer's legacy.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes.

Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead.

As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence.

Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.

Weeks-long psychodrama after four 'Jewish ambulances' were burned including a national address by Starmer about Jewish feelings but fascists trying to burn Muslims and migrants alive barely makes a dent in the national discourse. Two tier nation

"There is something absurd about being told that footage of your destroyed neighborhood violates community standards, while the destruction itself continues uninterrupted. Something darkly funny about an app warning you that your post about a massacre is “too violent,” as if the violence begins with the image and not the act. The platform is offended—not by death, but by its documentation." -Taqwa Ahmed Alwawi

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

You cannot commit genocide in Gaza, invade Lebanon, bomb Iran, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq, violate Geneva and Vienna Conventions, international law, human rights, and state sovereignty, then hide behind anti-Semitism.

There is no rise in anti-Semitism. There is a rise in the number of people who are very angry at what Israel is doing. Your inability to separate the two is equally problematic.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Good. Let's talk about Marwan Barghouti.

Imprisoned for 25 years.
An inter-Parliamentary Union report found he was not given a fair trial.

Nelson Mandela: “What is happening to Barghouti is exactly the same as what happened to me."

Free Marwan.

Not a single peep from the likes of the BBC or CNN, the same outlets that were reporting on the Iranian women’s football team three times a day.

Western media doesn’t care about women’s freedom in Iran, Palestine or Lebanon unless it can be weaponised to serve their narrative.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Israel spent 2 years running an elaborate lobbying campaign to have Hamas added to this UN sex-abuse blacklist, making the case that the UN designation was thorough, evidence-based and widely respected, which was why it was so important for them to get Hamas added to it.

Now that Israel has been added to it, they say the whole thing is a sham.

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws1]

WOW

A website is DOCUMENTING Israel’s crimes with GEOLOCATION, dates, categories of crimes, and footage of the incidents themselves.

One click and you can see EXACTLY what Israel did.

An enormous digital archive built for ACCOUNTABILITY.

[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

There are people who die without ever understanding why. Ahmed Shanan was one of them.

Ahmed was a man with Down syndrome.
He was born into this world without choosing it, born to a family in Gaza, into a life that would demand from him things he could never fully understand.

He lived the war the way a child lives a storm.

He walked with his family through displacement, not fully understanding what “leaving” meant. To him, “home” was simply a word that kept changing, a place his parents gave a name to, then took away, then gave to somewhere else. Again and again.

He heard explosions, but he did not understand them. He looked at the sky, saw warplanes, and thought they were butterflies, or perhaps toys.

Because that was how he saw the world.

With a heart untouched by hatred. With a mind that could not comprehend war. Only a childlike innocence living in a body that grew older while the world around him kept collapsing.

Yesterday, the heat was unbearable. So Ahmed did something simple.

He stepped outside and sat by the door, searching for a little air, a little freedom, just a moment of relief.

Then, for a reason he would never understand, an Israeli strike hit an apartment across from him.

The explosion tore through the air. Shrapnel flew. And it reached him.

Ahmed was taken to intensive care. He remained there for one day. And then he died.

Ahmed was the purest definition of a civilian.

He did not know war. He did not choose sides. He did not hate. He did not even understand what was happening around him.

And yet, like so many others, he paid the price for something he never did. Not because of a decision. Not because of a choice. But simply because he was there, at that moment.

And he did not die during a declared war. He died during what the world calls a “ceasefire.”

In the past two days, Israeli attacks across Gaza have intensified again. Without announcement. Without headlines. Under the quiet cover of what is still being called a truce.

So tell me:
What kind of ceasefire is this, where the innocent continue to die?

What kind of calm is this, where even someone like Ahmed is not spared?

If a man who looked at warplanes and saw butterflies can be killed like this, then this is not peace.

This is war, stripped only of its name.

Palestinians take part in the International Palestine Marathon held along the coastal road in Gaza City, May 8, 2026. simultaneously with a marathon that took place in Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Imagine these were two blindfolded Israeli women.

Imagine Hamas militants had taken this picture.

Imagine those women had then disappeared.

Imagine the deafening outrage and denunciations of Hamas’ evil.

So where is the deafening outrage here?

[Frances 'Cassandra' Coppola @Frances_Coppola]

Apparently we are not supposed even to mention the fact that a Muslim was stabbed because that might "snatch away Jewish people's current trauma".

These people are mad.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

What’s been happening with the lack of reporting on the first victim is kind of proving Diane Abbott’s point about the hierarchy of racism.

[Liberation News Network @l_n_n_26]

Accordng to the Metropolitan Police's own statistics there are 45 stabbings per day in London. That this one has been elevated to "terrorism" whilst the other 44 incidents go unreported tells us that there is a clear agenda at work here. They will try to use this incident to (somehow) blame Palestine solidarity activists and/or Iran and increase the legal prohibitions on protest. We must resist this agenda.

[Omar Hamad | عُـمَـرْ 𓂆 @OmarHamadD]

A week ago, I visited the Al-Omari Mosque Library to take some books and place them in the Phoenix Library that I founded, due to the scarcity of books in Gaza and the high cost of printing them. There, I met the remarkable woman who appears in the photo — Dr. Haneen Al-Amassi. She has preserved books and manuscripts that are more than 500 years old, and some that are over a thousand years old. She has done everything she can to protect these books and manuscripts, and she also works on restoring those that were damaged by bombardment and fire. She has studied the history of Gaza and has a broad and deep perspective on it.

Truly, I was deeply honored to meet her. She is genuinely a person who deserves our respect and pride.

What I want to say is that there are people who have resisted with everything they have — and you do not even know their names.
