I’m at Leeds Civic Hall. @MothinAli is talking about Israel. It’s all about Israel. He’s talking about a fictional ‘genocide’ by Israel. He is telling Israelis what they are. He is telling them they shouldn’t exist. Israel Israel Israel.
He’s councillor for HAREHILLS in LEEDS
This was an image shared by a company supplying hijabs to John Lewis. See the paraglider and bulldozer used by Hamas to invade Israel. As my husband @adammaanit said this is a “stab to the heart”. We bought our daughter’s buggy and baby clothes from John Lewis. Betrayal.
Boy George just played a sold-out show in Tel Aviv and sang "If you're confused / I stand with the Jews."
His Saturday show is for the Nova community, with 1,500 free tickets for survivors and bereaved families.
While others boycott, he showed up. Who else in music has the guts to do the same?

Avi Shlaim, an Oxford professor, says Israel “made it impossible” for Jews to keep living in Baghdad. My mother’s family is from Baghdad. Here is what he left out:
Jewish life under Arab rule was never equal. For centuries Jews lived as dhimmis, a “protected” minority, and the protection came with rules:
• A Jew could not testify against a Muslim in court.
• A synagogue could not stand taller than a mosque.
• Jews could not ride horses or carry weapons.
• Jews paid a special tax for the right to exist.
• Jews wore identifying marks on their clothes, a thousand years before the Nazis.
Then in June 1941 a mob in Baghdad killed almost 200 Jews in two days. My grandmother hid in the back of a café while a man shot a mother’s seven children in front of her. Israel did not exist yet.
In 1948 Iraq made Zionism a crime punishable by death. In 1950 it let Jews leave only if they gave up their citizenship. In 1951 it froze their bank accounts and took their homes. My grandparents arrived in Israel that year with nothing. In 1969 it hanged nine Jews in a public square and invited crowds to celebrate.
None of that was Israel. That was Iraq, doing it to its own citizens.
Shlaim knows all of this. He is one voice in a bigger project, and the project has a purpose. If you can convince people that Jews lived happily in Arab lands until Zionism, then 850,000 Jewish refugees stop being refugees. They become people who left for no reason. The Arab governments that robbed and expelled them get a clean record. And Israel, a country where most Jews come from the Middle East, can be sold as a European colony that has no business existing there. Even though ALL JEWS are indigenous to this land, no matter where in the diaspora we lived.
That is the point of the trend. Erase the Mizrahi story and there is only one refugee story left in the region, and only one side with a grievance.
It takes a Jew with an Oxford title to make that erasure respectable. There is a market for it, and he is not the only one selling.
Share this with someone who has never heard the word Farhud.
Firstly, there are no 'Palestinian' citizens of Israel. They're Israeli.
Secondly, is Sky News telling its audience that Israel ISN'T an apartheid state?! Wow.
Last night a number of us spoke to people going in to watch the NAZA film at Phoenix Cinema.
We asked viewers to take a QR code which directed them to a second documentary, one that presents an alternative view.
Many people took the flyer and said they would watch the documentary, but some rejected the idea outright, deciding ahead of time that it would be 'all lies'.
If you are also prepared to consider all sides, then please watch and share the video at the link below.

Thanks to everyone who joined us this evening outside Phoenix Cinema to talk to people going in to watch NAZA.
All we asked of viewers was to be open-minded enough to watch the alternative view. We shared a leaflet with a QR code to find the free film.
Many people took the flyer and said they would watch the documentary, but some rejected the idea outright, deciding ahead of time that it would be 'all lies'.
And of course, as is increasingly the way nowadays, the venue called the police.
Reassuringly, the police had no problem with our presence and many customers were prepared to take a leaflet and keep an open mind.
If you are also prepared to consider all sides, then please watch and share the video at the link below.

It is a stain on us as a society that Jewish children are frightened to go to school in Britain in 2026.
I welcome Sir David Bell's review & thank those brave enough to share their experiences.
Warm words will not be enough, the recommendations must be properly enforced.
🛑Israeli actress is taking Francesca Albanese to court.
Israeli actress and model Sarai Givaty has filed a NIS 500,000 defamation lawsuit against Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian territories.
According to the lawsuit, Albanese shared a 23-second clip from a 2025 interview, presented without its full context, and compared Givaty’s remarks to arguments used by Nazi officials to justify the murder of children during the Holocaust.
Givaty says she never called for children to be killed. She was discussing the dangers of extremism and the radicalization of children.
Albanese’s post reportedly reached more than two million views. Givaty says she subsequently received death threats and suffered damage to her reputation and career.
Think about that. A UN official used her international platform to make a devastating comparison involving an Israeli woman, without presenting the full context of her remarks.
Givaty is now fighting back in court.
Holding a UN position does not place anyone above accountability. Accusations this serious demand evidence, context, and responsibility.
