"Burnham declined to describe the catastrophe on the ground in Gaza as a genocide. 'I can’t judge things of that enormity from where I am as mayor of Greater Manchester,' he said.

Why not? Don't you have a phone? Can't you read the UN reports & ICJ?

This "Aw shucks I'm just a smol bean Mayor trying to become PM" shtick about *a genocide* really demeans him and the voting public. Get a fucking backbone.

The House voted today on a new measure to fuse elements of the Israeli and US militaries, particularly on the cyberweapons front. Section 224, as its known, is included in the National Defense Authorization Act. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., introduced an amendment to strip it from the bill. Watch as a stream of Republicans and Democrats stand up in support of the enhanced cooperation. Only Rep. Sarah Jacobs (D-Calif.) joined Khanna, and the measure failed in a voice vote. Watch:

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

The genocide seems unstoppable,
Necrocapitalism seems invincible- but they are not!

All we need is UNITY. COORDINATION. PERSEVERANCE.

Keep Protesting. Striking. Boycotting. Litigating.

Not just once.
All the times needed till the Apartheid ends and the system which fed it too.

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

What Israel is doing in Lebanon is unambiguously genocidal against Shias. And it is unambiguously an attempt to reoccupy and even annex a huge part of the country. It’s infuriating that we’re pretending that there’s a ceasefire. And even more infuriating that Western media continues to turn a blind eye to Israel’s endless colonial expansion and insatiable hunger for Arab land.

🚨: It's after midnight in Gaza as Israel is blowing up civilian homes on an unprecedented scale in Gaza City.

Reports on the ground and eyewitnesses talk of charred bodies and massive destruction, coupled with a vast number of casualties.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

I remember when Zack Polanski RT'd a person criticising the Police's excessive use of force.

He was publicly condemned by the MET Chief as if he had committed a serious crime.

Nigel Farage incites riots, AGAIN, and we have complete silence.

HAPPENING NOW 🇨🇴 Students from Universidad del Valle, one of the largest public universities in Colombia, are striking against far-right candidate Abelardo de la Espriella until after the second round of the presidential election.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Israel has killed many 10,000s of civilians in Gaza, often with drones.

International doctors volunteering in Gaza testify that Israeli drones come in after air strikes to "finish off" wounded children.

Israel remotely detonated thousands of pagers in Lebanon, killing and maiming anyone nearby, including children.

But Israel's ambassador to the UN wants your heart bleeding that Hezbollah uses cheap drones against Israeli *soldiers* as they violate the laws of war by invading and ethnically cleansing south Lebanon.

Drop Site News was scheduled to host a panel discussion at SXSW London on June 3. We have informed the organizers we will not be moving forward with the event following SXSW’s refusal to condemn the British Home Office’s state censorship of our colleagues Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur, who were also scheduled to speak at SXSW. The banning of our colleagues is part of an intensifying campaign by the UK government to stifle criticism of Israel and criminalize pro-Palestine activism at a time when the genocide in Gaza is continuing.

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

This is Emily Thornberry when she was Corbyn’s shadow foreign secretary

The UK Labour Party is completely and totally captured by the Israel lobby

Maybe more than any other political party in Britain

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

Adam Hamawy describes what he wishes people could understand from his time treating patients in Gaza:

"Much worse" than what we see online.

"The smells, the full senses…crying children, the families…to see this every single day…you just can't even describe it well enough."

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Israel invaded and occupied Lebanon in 1982 *before* Hezbollah existed. The problem is you.

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

Emily Thornberry has today said the government has let down the Palestinian people, and allowed Israel to act with impunity.

The audacity.

Here she is in October 2023 refusing to condemn Israel cutting off power and supplies to Gaza.

Don’t let these people rewrite history.

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

It’s begun: The Great Rewriting of History by the politicians, journalists, media commentators who stayed quiet over Gaza to keep climbing the greasy pole - while a handful of us who spoke-up were smeared, abused, or fired.

As @Hamza_a96 says, don’t let them do it:

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

The bodycam footage of Henry Nowak has just been released, and it's absolutely horrific.

He tells the officers multiple times that he's been stabbed, and one of them even replies, "I don't think you have, mate." He also tells them that he can't breathe, but they ignore him and handcuff him.

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

until the Oxford Union reinstates my speech in full, all their prattling about "open debate" and "free speech" is the epitome of hypocrisy.

they're hiding behind "legal advice" but we've given them a legitimate and solid legal opinion by a reputable barrister, unlike the one they relied on, which came from an outspoken zionist.

this censorship continues even under a Palestinian president, who actually campaigned on a promise to reinstate my full speech, after the student body and Standing Committee voted overwhelmingly to do so. [spoiler alert: she didn't do as promised]

They've not budged, continue to profit from editing my intellectual property, and here they are driveling again about "free speech."

oh, and they're bringing Tommy Robinson to campus, putting student safety at risk for a televised "debate" that will beam a hateful, bigoted, misogynistic, zionist freak into every British household, resurrecting this convicted criminal's image from this supposedly "venerated" British institution.

spare us your outrage performance.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

In what lexicon is ethnically cleansing one quarter of a neighbouring state "taking a much tougher stance". Shameful complicity in war crimes by @SkyNews @adamparsons

[Nate Bear @NateB_Panic]

Banning Hasan Piker has already generated so much more controversy than him speaking at that event ever would have and wins you precisely zero votes from a right that hates you anyway. Truly amazing how bad Starmer and the gang are at politics

[Ethan Levins 🇺🇸 @EthanLevins2]

ISRAEL HAS BOMBED A HOSPITAL IN TYRE, LEBANON.

3 BUILDINGS ARE DESTROYED, “LARGE” CASUALTIES REPORTED.

WHY IS ISRAEL ALLOWED TO DO THIS?

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

The Guardian regurgitates British state propaganda by accusing a UK "influencer" of spreading "Iranian regime messaging". On a visit to Iran, Bushra Shaikh reported the effects of US-Israeli air strikes, including one on a girls' school that killed some 170 Iranians, mainly children.

That used to be called journalism – stuff the Guardian and BBC claim to do. The Guardian amplifies calls for Shaikh to be investigated for "sanctions violations".

The Guardian sees a particularly sinister agenda in Shaikh's posts because:

* They "appeared timed to coincide with critical events in Iran, including the intensification of the conflict, ceasefire talks and nationwide protests in January" – that is, her posts were topical and newsworthy.

* They showed a “highly calculated pattern of social media manipulation” – that is, she was good at promoting her posts.

* They attracted "disproportionately high engagement” – that is, lots of people were interested to read her posts.

* They "offer followers unmediated, at times citizen journalist-style access to a war zone" – that is, she didn't have to submit her reports to Guardian editors so they could edit out information that might embarrass western leaders.

Shaikh herself is reported as being "aligned with anti-imperialist, anti-colonial frameworks” – that is, she doesn't simply regurgitate British state propaganda, like the UK corporate media.

This Guardian hit-job isn't about getting to the truth. It's the paper desperately trying to protect its traditional information monopoly for "liberal-left" audiences, and thereby remain useful for the security services.
