@TansuYegen Took a lot of guts to do that!

Sir Keir Starmer misled MPs during his final PMQs last Wednesday. Corbyn's Labour Party was never found to be 'institutionally antisemitic'. Sir Keir needs to return to parliament and correct the record:

Starmer was a fabricator and a fraud. We're well rid. My verdict for Middle East Eye:

New PM Andy Burnham says Labour “got it wrong” by supporting the genocide in Gaza

OK. Then free all the Palestine Action prisoners who got it right and acted to stop the genocide

[Wokerati Marty @WokeratiMarty]

The only Jews abused on pro-Palestine marches are ultra-Orthodox anti-Zionist Jews — and they’re abused by Zionist counter-protesters.

So if we’re banning protests to 'protect Jews,' surely we must start with the Zionist protests.

The United States is intentionally starving the people of Cuba with its illegal and barbaric blockade.

That’s why I’m joining the Nuestra America convoy to Cuba.

Together, we can break the siege, save lives, and stand up for the cause of Cuban self-determination.

To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains itself the accumulated evil of the whole."

What Really Happened on October 7 @pularjs

[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

I am a doctor.
And I cannot save a child.

There: I have said it.

What is a doctor, if not a liar with trembling hands?
What is medicine, if not a prayer whispered into the dark, hoping something, anything, will answer?

Four months ago, the child fell ill.
His name is Qasem.
I say “child,” but I mean something more: I mean a flicker of grace in a world that has spat on grace, trampled it beneath tanks, suffocated it beneath bureaucratic signatures and steel walls.

Two years ago, a bomb fell at four in the morning.
A single bomb: that was all it took to erase seventy-four names from the Book of the Living. My family, every last one of them, turned to silence in the span of a breath.
But Qasem lived.
He and his mother crawled out from under the ruins, not because of skill or science, but because of some strange divine arithmetic I still do not understand.
Surely the universe would not be so precise in its cruelty as to spare a mother’s life only so she could outlive all four of her children, and watch the last one vanish by inches.

Qasem bruises now.
Not from injury, but from breath, from pressure, from life.
His gums bleed. His tiny hands shake.
His blood turns against him in slow, merciless rebellion.
They call it Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.
An elegant name, too elegant for something so wretched.

And I, his doctor, his cousin, his useless, weeping doctor, have nothing for him.
No treatment. No transfusion. No hospital bed.
Only forms, permits, border checkpoints, and a phone that does not ring.

We applied for his transfer.
They marked his file “Urgent”: Category A.
But no one comes.

Meanwhile, the boy lies in a tent.

Yes: a tent.
There is sand in his hair. Insects at his feet.
He no longer cries the way children cry.
He cries like a man: quiet, long, accepting.
His eyes are not angry.
They are tired.

Each morning, I go to him, like a priest visiting a parishioner.
I kneel at his bedside, not to heal, but to witness.
To bear the unbearable truth: That a world which allows this is not a world that loves children.
That I am not a doctor, but a mourner-in-waiting.
That Gaza is not a place, but a diagnosis.

Qasem is not alone.
There are over eleven thousand patients in Gaza: their names neatly stacked in files, their diagnoses typed in black ink, waiting on desks that do not move.
More than five thousand of them have cancer.
They do not ask for mercy, only for permission.
They wait for chemotherapy, for radiation, for one open gate.
And I, the man with the stethoscope and the shaking hands, cannot save even one.

The death is not sudden.
It comes in paper cuts, in stamps, in silences.
It comes wrapped in the civility of diplomacy and the white lies of delay.

No: this is not war.
This is accounting.

And every day we wait, one more number is subtracted from the future.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.

Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.

While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant of £10tn.

That's how privatisation 'works'.

That #Petition is really growing now ...

[Peter Oborne @OborneTweets]

Not to mention his stout support for Palestinians and sticking up for Jeremy Corbyn. John Prescott would have been kicked out of Starmer's Labour Party.
