"How could it be done to you and your ancestors, and you turn around and do it to someone else?"

American Jewish actor and singer Mandy Patinkin passionately condemns Israel's leadership, calling PM Netanyahu dangerous for Jews globally and denounces Israel’s war on Gaza.

@SaulStaniforth Stupidly bowing to knee jerk Zionist pressure from those who had never seen the programme, it turned out to be the only film to have Gaza voices cursing Hamas. That’s what the BBC pulled. It showed the innocent civilians being massacred were not Hamas supporters

The outstanding Francesca Albanese brushes off 🇺🇸 sanctions against her:

“It’s ok”
“This is not a sign of strength”
“It’s a sign of guilt”
“I will stand tall like millions of others”
“We must bring this genocide in Gaza 🇵🇸 to an end”

Stand with Francesca.

A cold clinical and damning indictment of the supposedly wealthiest man in the planet….and poorest in spirit 🌍

[Meidas_Charise Lee @charise_lee]

No emotion just facts and undeniable truth‼️ Exactly this. The glorification of wealthy people and the excuse of their evilness‼️

⁦@BBCTVNEWS1⁩ too late to deny BBC bias over t Gaza genocide.U hide behind a ‘review’ to censor truth. U ban the only film with testimonies saying ‘curse Hamas’ yet U kneel b4 Zionist war criminals. Show t medics doc U are suppressing now #savegaza https://t.co/F3LzyAfIdM

@WardDEC Happy birthday old boy🎶

@Doylech as good as gets on the beeb. But no balance to Gazan critics of Hamas - many Palestinians know what Israelis know - Oct 7 was a premeditated trap set by Israel that went wrong &many of the 1200 were killed by the IDF itself. & the dead hostages killed by Israel’s blitzkrieg

@WardDEC I hope you weren’t standing on a chair David. How did that tinsel get there?

[DruimartS @arts_drum]

@WardDEC @jjohnstonmezzo Well done Wardie. You’ll probably find it easier to message on Instagram eventually.

Given that the UK a) has ALWAYS regarded the West Bank & Gaza as illegally occupied by Israel

and b) we have ALWAYS, under every government, supported a Two State Solution, what conceivable excuse can @DavidLammy & @Keir_Starmer produce for abstaining on this motion in the face of all sane readings of International Law?

What is this strange urge to back Ben Gvir & Netanyahu in their war crimes and slaughter of Palestinians? Do you both really wish the indigenous people of the West Bank to be wiped out or ethnically cleansed? Because that is exactly the endgame that British policy is heading towards.

This is an utter disgrace at any time. Under a Labour Government its even more unforgivable.

UN members back resolution directing Israel to leave occupied territories. General assembly votes overwhelmingly in favour of Palestinian resolution after ICJ ruling in July

2 things have happened in Gaza in the last 24 hours:
1) Israel killed 47 Palestinians
2) 6 Israeli hostages were found dead

As you reflect on why only one of these stories is dominating the headlines, there are 5 more things to keep in mind 🧵👇:

[DruimartS @arts_drum]

Does it really take the venerable Yanis to remind the ICC of its duty ….to resist the political pressure and Mafia-like personal threats and challenge evil no matter who the perpetrators are? #WarCrimesInGaza

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Dear International Criminal Court judges,

It is now beyond dispute: Israel has set out systematically to eliminate every aspect of Palestinian life in Gaza. It is not just the 186,000 lives that the Lancet estimates to have been lost. It is more than that. You have already witnessed:

1. The most intensive bombing of any densely populated urban area in living memory

2. The most deliberately targeted starvation of a population in post-WW2 history

3. The greatest number of journalists killed in any war worldwide

4. The largest number of UN staff killed in 10 months.

And that's not all: Israel attacks schools, universities, libraries, archives, cultural centres, heritage sites, mosques and churches. It assassinates professors and slaughters teachers, along with their students - often their entire families too.

When will you act?
If you don't, what is the point of having the ICC?
If you don't, is there a smidgeon of an iota of a possibility that anyone will take the ICC seriously in the future?

[DruimartS @arts_drum]

@WardDEC Aren’t you blowing your own trombone a bit here David? 😉

[DruimartS @arts_drum]

@WardDEC @howardnoakley @docsuzy Are you sure there isn’t some correction routine embedded? I’m often caught by seeing the odd correct word I have typed transformed into nonsense.
