There are a million things you can do with life. But love is probably where most effort should go. Get that right and nothing else matters.

I don’t know how to explain it to people who don’t understand that something of all of us is buried in Gaza’s mass graves.

[Jody McIntyre @jodymcintyre_]

This is the man pulling Starmer’s strings.

But did you know that in his youth, Morgan McSweeney lived on an Israeli settlement?

I’ve been doing some digging, and I can’t believe what I’ve discovered…🧵

Listen carefully.

You say this is "Jewish land for 3,500 years."

But history is not a property deed.

If age alone gave ownership, the Canaanites would rise from the soil and evict you tomorrow.

If conquest gave legitimacy, Rome would still rule Jerusalem.

If scripture was a land title, every empire in history would resurrect to reclaim what it once held.

But history moves forward.

It does not sign contracts for eternity.

You call Canada, the UK, and Australia "weak and naïve."

But tell me, who created your state?

It was London that drafted the Balfour Declaration.

It was Washington that armed and funded you.

It was the UN that forced a partition on Palestine without its people’s consent.

You did not rise alone from the ashes.

You were delivered on the back of empire.

So spare us the courage talk.

You’ve been carried on another man’s shoulders since birth.

You say Palestine is a "Trojan horse for jihad."

No.

Palestine is the homeland of a people who were expelled, massacred, and erased from maps.

The refugee camps are not jihad.

The key around an old woman’s neck is not jihad.

The olive trees bulldozed in the West Bank are not jihad.

They are memory.

They are history.

They are lives interrupted by the myth you call sovereignty.

You say "Israel will never retreat."

But empires always say that, right before they fall.

France said it in Algeria.

Britain said it in India.

America said it in Vietnam.

History has never once been impressed by the boasts of occupiers.

"One state. One people. One land."

Yes, that is the dream of every settler colony, from South Africa to Rhodesia to French Indochina.

And every one of them believed it was eternal.

Every one of them said "we are here forever."

And every one of them fell.

Not because they were weak.

But because the people they tried to erase refused to vanish.

So keep chanting your slogans.

But remember: it is not the occupier who decides forever.

It is the land.

It is the people.

And both still speak the name you are trying to silence.

Palestine.

BREAKING: 🚨 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 TikTok US Deal Finalized the U.S. app will have its OWN separate Zionist algorithm

Oracle (Israeli CEO, Jewish zionist owner), Silver Lake (Zionist organisation) and Andreessen Horowitz (Jewish Zionist founder) will control US TikTok.

There will be an American (and Israeli) board with US (and Israeli) government oversight

US users will download a new app that looks identical to current TikTok but runs entirely on US-Israeli controlled algorithms.

This is a tragedy for free speech. This will help ruin the west. You have no idea how bad this.

It isn’t even necessary to rely on the Hague.

Starmer and Lammy can - and should - be prosecuted under domestic English criminal law.

[simon maginn @simonmaginn]

Hi @FranckMagennis
As UK is a signatory to the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, does that mean prosecutions can be brought in the UK against serving ministers of government?
If yes, how would that process happen?
Thanks.

[Hornbeam @cubious]

Starmer is complicit and active in facilitating a genocide. Can we not start legal proceedings against him and this government? What is the process? What body best exists to carry this out? This is obscene.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

If Iran with nuclear weapons scares you, try to imagine how scary it would be if a rogue state practicing apartheid occupying 3 countries carrying out a genocide got ahold of nuclear weapons.

The same state that considers Palestinian NGOs terrorist organizations and calls every human rights organization in the world antisemitic. Imagine how scary it would be if THAT state had a nuclear weapon.

The same state that acts with total impunity and regards itself as above international law.

Now THAT is the state I would be extremely worried would actually use a nuclear weapon ….. Israel is the single greatest threat to human existence on planet earth.

BREAKING: This morning at 8.51am Keir Starmer sent a UK military Voyager KC3 air-to-air refuelling plane from the UK base on Cyprus

It flew over Lebanon, Israel and Syria before turning off its transponder over Iraq

It was flying in direction of Iran

It’s in the sky now

People in Gaza effectively imprisoned, bombed from above, shelled from the sea, threatened with ground attack. Israel claims to want peace!

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Why is the 'liberal' media peddling the vilest genocide apologism?

I can't put this strongly enough. Howard Jacobson's article in today’s Observer newspaper may be one the vilest pieces of journalism published in Britain in living memory, arguing that any reporting of Israel's documented slaughter of many thousands of Palestinian children in Gaza is a "blood libel" and antisemitic. It is pure genocide apologism.

But far worse is the fact that the Guardian Media Group signed off his column. This isn't the work of one Zionist loon. A whole army of journalists brought it to print.

And note: Jacobson, odious as he is, isn't responsible for the choice of photo. That is entirely down to the Observer newsroom.

I worked at both the Guardian and the Observer, its Sunday sister paper, for many years. The comment editor, the photo editor, the revise sub-editor, the Observer's chief editor and all the section heads would have approved not only Jacobson's text but that photo too.

What on earth did they all imagine that "illustrative" photo of a blood-smeared doll suggested?

* That the many thousands of children blown to pieces by Israeli bombs are a fiction.

* That all the children decomposing under rubble are made up.

* That all the unidentified children buried in Gaza's sands are a lie.

* That all the children dying of epidemics like polio or starving to death from Israel's aid blockade are an invention.

That any single journalist imagined for a moment that this was an acceptable article or photo in the midst of a genocide is astounding enough.

But that a whole phalanx of the most influential and “liberal” journalists in the country backed it without a second thought tells us something about the depraved culture that passes for journalism in the western establishment media.

These elite journalists are completely divorced from reality. They have no moral core, they live and work as fanatical ideologues for western supremacism. They are as racist as their forebears who cheerled Britain's subjugation and colonisation of the rest of the globe.

There is no hope of ever having a healthy world as long as these war-mongers and genocide apologists are allowed to remain in charge of shaping our consciousness.
