Honestly I think Starmer is handling the illegal war instigated by a psychopathic nonce pretty well, he’s making it clear that he’s protecting UK citizens while mitigating the threat and refusing to capitulate.

Nobody wants a “special relationship” with a paedo.

Fuck America.

They said Israel is democracy.

They said China is dictatorship.

But Israel shoots journalists and starves children.

And China builds roads and lifts millions from poverty.

So what is democracy now?

What is dictatorship now?

It is whatever America needs you to believe.

It's hard to focus on Israel's airstrikes in Lebanon due to Israel's invasion of Syria, which is hard to focus on due to Israel's atrocities in the West Bank, which are hard to focus on due to Israel's genocide in Gaza, which is hard to focus on due to Israel's war on Iran.

Scotland produces so much clean energy, yet Scots pay some of the world's highest bills.

Just yesterday, Britain wasted enough wind to power Scottish homes for 3 DAYS. It cost £7,504,366.

Zonal pricing could give Scots some of the lowest bills in Europe: https://t.co/EmEtEYDcPz

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

Here's a brief history of Gaza (full disclosure: I'm a historian of Palestine):

1516 - Ottomans rule Gaza

1917 - Britain occupies Palestine, adopting the anti-democratic Balfour Declaration, rejecting the political will of 85% of the population of Palestine who declared their opposition to Zionism to the King-Crane Commission. https://t.co/VZEMubfrm5

1917 - 1947 - Britain subjugates 90% of the population of Palestine (the Palestinian Arabs), ignoring their democratic wishes, favoring the Jewish minority, making it easier for Jews to buy land via the annulment of Arab communal land tenure, granting Jews but not Arabs communal autonomy, favoring Jews over Palestinians in awarding contracts & industrial concessions (e.g. Palestine Electric Corporation, Palestine Salt Company, Palestine Potash & Sulphur Quarries), imposing a surveillance regime over the Arabs to subvert their political activity, imposing harsher penalties for Arabs than Jews for similar crimes; preventing the establishment of a Palestinian university & limiting Palestinian secondary education to subvert their political activity. https://t.co/l0K7AFOl4J

1947 - UN proposes giving the Zionist community of Palestine 56% of Palestine, even though they constituted 33% of the population & owned ~5.5% of the land.

1948 - Israel tried (and failed) to conquer Gaza even though the partition plan called for an Arab state there.

1948 - Israel tried to poison Palestinian Arab wells in Gaza, killing many innocent civilians https://t.co/GosqdvSLgu

1948 - Israel violently expelled ~200,000 Palestinians from their homes, pushing them to the Gaza Strip (in total, some 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes by Israel during the war).

1950 - Israel expel the last remaining 2,600 Palestinians in Majdal. Israeli forces loaded them onto trucks, sending them off to Gaza. Whoever refused to leave was coerced through intimidation and violence. https://t.co/1d4VqUjxvE

1953 - The Israeli military attacked the al-Bureij Camp in Gaza, killing 50 civilians, seeking to dismantle the refugee camp altogether to disperse in residents. Another Egyptian-UNRWA plan, supported by Israel, was to expel some 60,000 Palestinians from Gaza to Sinai, where land & Nile River water for irrigation was apparently going to be provided. But the project failed when Palestinians demonstrated en masse on 1 March 1955. https://t.co/1d4VqUjxvE

1949-1956 - Tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees (many from Gaza) tried to return home. They were overwhelmingly unarmed. The Israeli army adopted a shoot to kill policy, massacring ~2,700-5,000 during this period. https://t.co/lrcVTMPhrG

1956-1957 - Israel invaded Gaza, occupying it for 4 months. On 3 Nov 1956, Israeli forces entered Khan Yunis, rounding up all men 15+, lined them against a wall, & executed them. They did the same thing in Rafah. They massacred hundreds of Gazan Palestinians in cold blood. https://t.co/wLpnb2ABgc

1967 - Israel re-invaded the Gaza Strip in a war of choice (https://t.co/TzAtZhfToN) imposing a belligerent military occupation there that has lasted to the present day.

1967 - On 18–19 June 1967, the Israeli cabinet adopted this decision: "...[the Gaza Strip] would be annexed to Israel once the number of refugees there was significantly reduced by transfer to other locations of countries." https://t.co/9GQvuTITUI

1967 - Israel pushed out some ~40,000 Palestinians from Gaza, because they were of the incorrect religion/ethnicity. https://t.co/rm4KhVazUY

1968-1970 - Israel pushed out tens of thousands of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, then forcibly expelled another 38,000 Palestinian refugees in Gaza in 1971 and tried to compel the rest to give up their refugee status or leave the refugee camps throughout the 1970s and 1980s. https://t.co/16FarJ7vAw

1967-1987 - Israel kills 32 Palestinians on average every year for 20 years (in Gaza & the West Bank); Israel denies Palestinians politica rights. Israel imprisons Palestinians like Fathi Ghaben for painting paintings with black, red, green and white. Israel regularly arrests, detains, tortures and deports Palestinians for speech critical of Israel's brutal military occupation. https://t.co/16FarJ7vAw

1987 - From December 1987 - December 1988, Israeli forces slaughtered 142 Palestinians in Gaza, while Palestinian forces killed 0 Israelis in Gaza. https://t.co/X39kxQJRLH

1987 - 1993 - Israel killed about 1,200 Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

1990 - Israel threatens the livelihoods of 40% of the population of Gaza, who was at the time working in Israel or in Israeli settlements in Gaza, by requiring them to apply for a permit that was previously granted automatically.

1994 - 1996 - Israel imposes suffocating lockdowns on Gaza, leading to 70% unemployment rate in Gaza during periods of total closure. see Gordon, Israel’s Occupation, 73.

2000 - 2005 - Israel slaughtered ~3,000 Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, imposing suffocating lockdowns on Gaza, leading the World Food Programme (@WFP) to spin up an emergency food operation in Gaza to save hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza from going hungry.

2006 - 7 - Israel tightens it's illegal & inhumane siege on Gaza, whose goal was to "dispel the claims regarding Israel's responsibility for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip" & to “freeze the peace process" (words of Dov Weisglass, Advisor to the then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon).

2007 - present. Israel imposes the longest lasting siege in modern history on Gaza, putting 2M Gazans "on diet," controlling their caloric intake, leading to widespread devastation: 40% of Gaza's population live in poverty, most of them in extreme poverty, more than 80% of households dependent on food aid. Dozens if not hundreds but probably thousands die in Gaza every from inability to receive proper medical and Israel's refusal to allow Gazans to seek care outside of Gaza, owing to the punishing siege, including Fatimah al-Masri, who was murdered by Israel in 2022 after Israel refused to allow her to exit Gaza for medical treatment source https://t.co/8IoD9raMHt

2008-9 - Israel waged a war on Gaza. Israel killed 1,400 Gazans (who killed 3 Israeli civilians). The Goldstone Report found no justifiable military objective was identified in 90% of Israel's deadly attacks on Palestinian civilians & that Israel's goal was “punish, humiliate & terrorize civilians.” https://t.co/Cy2vX39LF9

2012 - Israel killed 171 Gazans (who killed 4 Israeli civilians); 60% of Gazan victims were civilians; the war started when Israel assassinated Ahmed Jabari, who was about to sign a permanent ceasefire with Israel. Israel preferred war to strengthen it’s “deterrence capacity.” https://t.co/I2WcybEIoO

2014 - Israel killed >1,500 Gazan civilians (who killed 6 Israeli civilians). Israel launched 6,000 airstrikes on Gaza, mostly on residential buildings. In 40% of investigated cases, the @UN found no explanation for bombing civilians, concluding Israel likely committed war crimes https://t.co/wO5vdKHZph

2018-9 - Israel killed 223 Palestinians & Israeli snipers left 6,106 Palestinians with life-changing wounds (0 Israeli casualties) after 10s of thousands of unarmed overwhelmingly peaceful Gazans marched to the fence, demanding the right of return and protesting against the siege. No Israeli experienced any major harm at all. https://t.co/Cy2vX39LF9

2021: Israel killed 261 Gazans (who killed 14 Israelis); 113,000 Palestinians were internally displaced; Airwars report concluded: in 70% of the deadly airstrikes on civilians, no militants or military targets were found & Israel indiscriminately targeted dense civilian areas. https://t.co/BP64kqyYZc

2023 - present. Israel has slaughtered hundreds of thousand of Palestinians in Gaza, used starvation, sexual violence and rape as weapons of war, denied 2.2M people access to water, medicine and shelter, froze dozens of babies to death, in what @hrw, @amnesty, @un and @msf call a genocide.

[Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber]

Both the International Court of Justice and the UN General Assembly have found that all countries are legally obliged to cease any support for the Israeli occupation regime, to ban any products from the settlements, to cut off all military, diplomatic, economic, commercial, financial, investment, and trade relations with the Israeli occupation, to respect the provisional orders of the ICJ in the Israel genocide case, and to respect their third-state obligations under the Genocide Convention to act to prevent and stop Genocide. Yemen is being bombed for respecting these obligations.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Time to clarify WHERE Zionists "believe Israel has the right to exist".
OPTION 1: On the land taken by force from the Palestinians in 1947-1949? Israel already exists on that land! The tantrums and fuss about it - while an entire people is being annihilated - is utterly unsufferable.
2. OPTION 2: everywhere "from the river to the sea"? That is false: The State of Israel has NO right to exist in Gaza, east Jerusalem, and the West Bank (land where Palestinians have exclusive right to self-determination in the form of independent statehood). It is flagrantly unlawful, violates UN Charter, customary IL, ICJ jurisprudence, and much more.

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

Can we please have some intelligent debate on foreign policy? That British people overwhelmingly want?

We arse kiss the Yanks, they fuck us off anyway, and we look as we are, a dispensable puppy aching for master's approval. They speak the same language, that's it, that apart they are nothing like Britons. Nothing.

We're European but hate Europe just because we can. Pure xenophobia towards our literal kith and kin. Irrational.

Every Briton has 90% of everything they use made in China, but we hate communism. Hypocrisy. Buy nothing from them if we fucking hate them!

Our stance on Gaza is appalling and shows no leadership despite a commitment to a two state solution.

We, along with the EU couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery, nevermind create a European army to thwart a bogeyman that we were more than happy to cross every promised red line post 1992 yet take no responsibility for pushing and pushing.

We're a fucking global mess, Britain's foreign policy even in the dying days of Suez etc at least had other countries willing to have us at the table. Now we're twerking for Trump hoping and praying Scotch doesn't get tarrifs based on his Mother being a Scot. What a triumph in diplomacy that would be!

And as for Ukraine, some answer for the British people as to why we are so wedded in their support. Let's not give it the " standing up to bullies" bollocks either, there is no geopolitical or geographical reason that will need British men and women in harms way, this isn't Poland in 1939 and Britain has proven time and again that like our bastard child, the USA, we do things for material, not moral gain. Because if morality was the reason, Sir Keir or Rishi or Liz or that fat lump of hair would have banged a table somewhere in the Middle East, demanding babies yet to even have a faith or nationality not to be made into mince. So spare us " we're supporting democracy", we all know there's either a lot of money underground in the Donbass, or someone's getting paid royally via our tax money. Again.

The Commonwealth would have been a perfect way to go. Align with countries of shared history, value and language. But no, we refused to say sorry for past wrongs, let them all go and find they were listened to by China and Russia and are now telling us to fuck right off. And who can blame them.

We're an international joke. So is America. But America is richer than God, will kill you if you don't do what they want, and will shout it from the rooftops.

Britain? If we're not embarking on a generational act of self sabotage by breaking away from the world's biggest trading block, whether it's an armed force parred down to the point where we could barely invade the Isle of Man, nevermind defend Ukraine, or an economy that decided generations of making things, the best things on the planet in many cases wasn't as important as a few Cockney wide boys playing roulette in the City of London, or our mighty capital becoming the money laundering capital of the world.

We're living the choices of successive corrupt, immoral and downright thick British governments, and if we are honest, that roaring lion of Empire gave way to a baby pussycat hoping to be stroked by Uncle Sam now and again.

The Yanks couldn't give a fuck about us and we told Europe we didn't give a fuck about them.

Until someone, anyone with some idea of what patriotic, modern Britishness is, and can be, and can sell a vision that the majority can proudly get behind, all we'll have is rehashed WW2 revisionism, xenophobia, and still pining for the "Special relationship".

Fucking embarrassing.

Israel just released the list of 95 Palestinian prisoners who may be released in the coming days:

- 6 are kids; none convicted - 4 held without charge or trial
- 79 who have not been convicted of a crime including 27 being held without charge or trial.

Mass incarceration is an Israeli tool of control.
