A thorn in your side or your champion, you decide

[Stop The Bollocks with Mirabel @MirabelTweets1]

I am Jewish. I am also brown skinned. Born in the UK. 50 yrs ago

I can categorically tell you that white Jews are one of the most privileged minority groups in the UK

In my life I have had constant racism for being brown. I have had one incident of antisemitism.

One.

[liam cunningham @liamcunningham1]

I get the impression that each government in the EU is willing to sacrifice itself for Israeli genocide. If only they were as loyal to the people they’re supposed to represent.

[Tiberius @tiberiusfiles]

Tomorrow is October 7th so it’s a great time to remind you all that Israel killed most of the Jews during the ‘biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust’

[Eye on Palestine @EyeonPalestine]

"When I was in prison, we talked about how lucky we were to have a white passport. Palestinians don't have that privilege. They get lost in the system-beaten, tortured, raped, disappeared. We heard their screams at night. And I believe the Israelis wanted us to hear."

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

You know what is fundamentally un-British? Further clamping down on the right to peacefully protest — a hard-won democratic freedom secured over generations by some of the greatest movements in our history, including the Chartists, Trade Unions and the Suffragettes.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

No one in power respects my grief. And no one is coming to console me:

Members of the Jewish community have been grieving for three days now over the killing of two innocent people in last week’s attack on a Manchester synagogue. Politicians and the media keep telling us how important it is to respect their grief.

I and millions of other Britons, some of them Jews, have been grieving for much longer – over the killing of tens of children in Gaza not on one day last week but on every single day, without break, for two years. And yet no politicians or media seem to think it important to respect my grief.

I grieve over much more than a death toll that now runs into many tens of thousands of children.

I grieve over my government’s active complicity in providing the weapons and intelligence that made possible the mass slaughter in Gaza.

I grieve over my government’s refusal to oppose the abduction of British citizens trying to reach Gaza and bring food to the population Israel is starving. And I grieve at my government’s refusal to mount an official flotilla of its own, a naval one, to break Israel’s illegal siege of the enclave and end the famine it has engineered there.

I grieve over the relentless erosion of the public’s right to protest the slaughter and starvation in Gaza.

I grieve over the designation of any practical effort to stop the slaughter as “terrorism”.

I grieve over the condemnation by politicians and the media of my grief as “antisemitism”.

I grieve for the death of my last illusions. The illusion that a civilised society treats all life as precious. The illusion that a civilised society learns from history, so that it stops recycling history’s worst atrocities. The illusion that our society is civilised.

I grieve knowing that no one in power is coming to console me in my grief. Not the police. Not the politicians. Not the media.

I grieve knowing that, in truth, they will vilify me, they will legislate against me, and one day they will arrest me.

They want me and millions of other Britons to imagine we are alone in our grief, and that our grief is shameful. They need us to succumb to their lies.

But we must never forget. We are many. And is they, not us, who are the monsters.

@10DowningStreet what do we call this Mr Starmer

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"What do you mean by Palestinian hostages?"

Hadash Israeli MP Aida Touma-Suleiman "There are thousands of Palestinians who are kidnapped from their houses.. with no trial, no possibility to know what they are charged of & they are kept in prison. What can you call such a thing?"

[The Resonance @Partisan_12]

🇬🇧While being arrested, a protester recited a poem by 9-year-old Fatema Saidam, who was k!lled by 1$rael.

“Eyes are for looking & seeing sun,
Tongues are for greeting & saying fun,
Legs are for walking slowly & also run,
Hands are for shaking with friends Not for shooting gun”

[Defend Our Juries @DefendOurJuries]

UNLAWFUL ARREST

This woman was arrested for holding a sign with “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action” on it, a totally lawful statement to make, even under the Labour government’s absurd new laws proscribing the direct action group.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

[Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman]

It’s called Palestine. All of it.

Do you agree?

[nearspacemanOfficial @nearspaceman]

@ukhomeoffice I assume these powers will extend to Orange Order marches in Northern Ireland?
And what about IDF soldiers walking around freely on the streets of the UK after returning from committing genocide in Gaza?

[Bean @SomersetBean]

@ukhomeoffice

[Elizabeth'sfavouritecorgi, Theduchessofdevonshire @corgi_elizabeth]

@10DowningStreet @bphillipsonMP how dare you suggest protests today of all days should stop. You were both cheap for Israel to buy. Neither of you even care for for those Palestinian babies that have been slaughtered daily for 2yrs in hospitals and refugee camps. Well done @GMB

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

My letter to ⁦@Keir_Starmer⁩ demanding he ensure the safe release & return of his constituent Ewa Jaciewicz illegally kidnapped & abducted from the Freedom Flotilla by Israel. This will show whose interests Starmer serves, Israels or his constituents!

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

You’re a racist, a criminal and a sexist thug.

You pretend to “protect women” while spewing misogyny.

We won’t let you or any fascist divide our communities. An attack on one is an attack on all.

We won’t allow your politics of hate to win.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

We deplore racist attacks at home for the same reason we deplore genocide abroad: we believe in the equal value of human life.

My response to calls for the cancellation of peaceful protests for Palestine.
