112 members of the Hassaniya & Abu Sharia families (related to one another) were given one of the biggest funerals in Palestinian history today. They were all killed in a single Israeli airstrike in 2023, with their bodies having just been recovered from under the rubble.

44 children, 38 women, and 7 people with disabilities. 112 members of a family, gone in a single airstrike backed, supported and funded by the U.S. govt under the Biden-Harris administration with no resistance from their party.

You forgot ‘…murdering her baby in the process and almost killing her’

I get dead Palestinians have never mattered to Sly News but perhaps they might to your readers? Idk

“Outdated Rhetorical Tactics That Sound Ridiculous Today”

Palestinian writer Mohammed El-Kurd and British MP Jeremy Corbyn respond to Natasha Hausdorff’s “absurd position” on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and the dispossession of Palestinians during her recent exchange with Lewis Goodall on LBC Radio.

Britain is still supplying arms to Israel. Britain is still supplying intelligence. Britain is still complicit in genocide.

Wes Streeting has been made Defence Secretary.

In his released correspondence with Peter Mandelson, he said:

“Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes.”

Journalists should ask him:

1) Does he stand by that?

2) What legal obligations does the UK therefore have?

@ShehabKhan Bit harsh calling Ronaldo and Ronaldonho Muppets.

The regularity of these stories about planned or successful attacks on Muslims is frightening, as is how little parts of the political class seem to care

This is the man who Musk amplified and has funded

You know how bad you have to be to get dragged like this by Save the Children?

[Adnan Hussain MP @AdnanHussainMP]

Lost for words as to the levels of threat and hostility British Muslims are finding themselves under due to the reckless rhetoric of people holding powerful positions of influence, as well as the unchecked hatred and misinformation spouted on social media.

It needs to stop.

30 yıl önce bir yaşını bile doldurmadan babasını kaybetti.

Alnes Alic, Srebrenitsa Soykırımı’nda katledilen babası Ramo Alic’i toprağa verecek.

Babasından geriye yalnızca bedeninin yaklaşık yarısı bulunabildi.

Srebrenitsa’da soykırımın acısı, 31 yıl sonra bile dinmedi.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Shall we test this one to destruction?

A Palestinian tells you that Zionism is anti-Palestinian racism.

You say that’s false.

The Palestinian replies you have no right to lecture them on what constitutes anti-Palestinian racism.

You thus accept that? Is that right?

[Brian Tashman @briantashman]

Israeli soldiers approached aid truck drivers and “ordered all of them out of their trucks. They assaulted the drivers, beat them, and forced them to strip. The moment Ahmad raised his hands in surrender, one of the soldiers drew his M16 rifle and shot him directly in the head”

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

What on earth are you talking about?

You were literally in Cabinet while the UK continued to sell weapons that were used in the systematic killing of thousands of Palestinians.

You don’t get to rewrite history. Blood is on your hands too.

[Paul Holden @pauleholden]

@wesstreeting You called South Africa's application to the ICJ a "distraction." Maybe sit this one out.

[Shehab Khan @ShehabKhan]

Apparently it’s anti-establishment to go to a private school, work in the city, spend decades in politics and have billionaire mates around you who just gift you millions of pounds

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

My gosh.
Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians.
Today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi, of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — which also organized Gaza screenings of the matches.

[Yannick Bolasie @YannickBolasie]

All I’ll say is if this was AFCON and they let a man play after he got a red card, the nonsense being said would be crazy

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

How do we live in the timeline where the “nationalist” position in Britain is to hate on London and celebrate US independence?

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

I can’t believe Ms Rachel is still asking US lawmakers not to send weapons to kill children, because they’re still sending weapons to kill children.
