i actually cannot believe that Hind Rajab's mother and little brother are STILL in gaza city PLEADING for help while some rich celebrities and filmmakers are making movies and money OFF HER MURDERED DAUGHTER.
SHAME!!!
I’m sorry.
The notion that Hamas is a terrorist organisation whilst the state of Israel, currently perpetrating genocide, is not, destroys the last disintegrating remnants of credibility western govts had.
This is colonialism, in all its savagery.
Game of Thrones Actor Liam Cunningham:
"Sure, I could lead a comfortable life & simply enjoy my success, but my conscience won’t let me. I have to speak out..."
It’s official. I will be introducing a Bill for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza.
The government must decide: will it support this inquiry, or will it block our efforts to establish the truth?
The UK’s 50 richest families hold more wealth than half the population — 34 million people.
Yet the Prime Minister claims migration has caused “incalculable damage” to our society.
This is a lie. It’s billionaires wrecking our economy, our democracy & our planet — not migrants.
In 48 hours, over 200 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza.
Keir Starmer’s government still won’t condemn Israel or call it genocide. Won’t end arms sales. Won’t impose sanctions. Won’t stop trade.
This isn’t just complicity, it’s collaboration. They have blood on their hands.
The problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees.
They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires.
If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.
Netanyahu — wanted by the ICC for war crimes — has declared plans to ethnically cleanse Palestinians and annex Gaza.
This follows 64 days of starving a besieged population by blocking food and aid.
The UK must implement a full arms embargo and expel the Israeli Ambassador NOW.
Out of 27 announced cast members for Avengers: Doomsday, only 5 are women. That’s not just a small number, it’s a glaring reminder of how skewed things still are. How does this ratio even happen?
