Over 20 MPs and members of the Lords have this evening issued a letter in support of the Garvaghy Road residents.
Including Jeremy Corbyn, John McDonnell, Diane Abbott, Zarah Sultana, and Seamus Logan from the SNP.
This follows letters of support from political leaders on Capitol Hill in the US and from the European Parliament in Brussels.
The international solidarity with the Garvaghy Road community has been incredible to see, and I want to commend all those who have offered their support.
The message couldn’t be clearer.
There can be no unwanted Orange march down the Garvaghy Road.
There is no going back.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
Entirely misses the point that it's a death penalty that only applies to one ethnicity, the Palestinians, a people who are illegally occupied, living under military rule and subject to dispossession, constant violence and ethnic cleansing
This is Apartheid.
It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide.
To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.
It took a European journalist to finally ask this neo-nazi monster the kind of questions American journalists have failed to ask her on a daily basis for almost a year now.
unfortunately, ‘i don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven. i think i’m not heaven bound.’ reads like lyrics to a The National song i’d probably really enjoy :(
He posted 45 minutes ago and now he’s dead.
Kinetic strike. Most likely keyed off his cell phone signal, which the IDF tracks.
To the “journalists” in the West who toe the line with the NYT editorial board. Any words for your colleague?
