@ZackPolanski @suebrazier I know some Jewish people and they do bot support the genocide in Gaza

@Keir_Starmer - Stop arming Israel

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

There is a growing push inside Parliament for widespread sanctions on Israel.

It's what the public wants. And a new poll shows more than two-thirds of Labour members want tough sanctions too.

This is a fight we are going to win!

[Dave Baigent @Dave4YP]

Well said Jeremy

[Dave Baigent @Dave4YP]

that is not what the ordinary people in this world think. They recognise the tragedy of the 7th of October. They also recognise the ongoing slaughter of innocents and the genocide in Gaza.

No, it is a war - the October 7th War in Gaza. The only deliberate massacre of innocent children occurred in Israel on October 7, 2023, by Hamas and Gazan civilians. It's always unfortunate and tragic that some civilians die in wars caused by evil regimes like Hamas, just like the thousands of German civilians who perished in WW2 because the evil, genocidal Nazis started a war in Europe. So if it's true and not pro-Hamas propaganda like the AI videos that Dr. Haj-Hassan held a dead child in her arms, any moral person world blame Hamas and the Gazans who support Hamas. In fact, it's truly revealing she hold Hamas to zero accountability. Imagine someone about dead German babies in 1943, and her only condemnation is to accuse the Allies of genocide. This is an instant tell of a pro-Nazi activist. Same with Gazan Arabs like Dr. Hah-Hassan with the modern Nazis of Hamas. In fact, by any historical standard, far fewer civilians have died in Gaza than in any previous war, especially wars in densely populated, urban areas like in German cities in WW2. Look below at a picture of the totally destroyed city of Wessel, Germany, in 1945. According to Dr. Haj-Hassan's claim in this video, the Nazis are devoid of any responsibility for this and the Allies committed genocide.

[Global Insight Journal @GlobalIJournal]

This was HEARTBREAKING

Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, who volunteered in Gaza, exposed Israel:

"I held a lifeless child in my arms. There was no equipment to save him. This is not a war; it is a massacre of the innocent."

Johnathan Miller’s encounter with Enoc Powell (below), reminded me how students on the Public Service Degree could at times be quite racist. To combat this I had a mini and interactive lecture that I adapted for the particular circumstance at the time. In essence, I spoke about my youth, a time when the shops and petrolstations shut at 1700. When meals were modelled around plainly cooked meat and veg and lager didn’t exist.
I am sure you can guess how the lecture continued.
This, in different circumstances, is how Jonathan challenged Powell.
Maybe you can see how relevant this approach is today and could be used to combat Farage’s racist incitement.

Congratulations to @cllrkatie on becoming leader of @camcitco.
:)
Katie Thornburrow has worked hard to become leader of the council. In her acceptance speech, Katie appealed for closer working between parties. Katie also righted some of the democratic deficits in council structure, including allowing all members to participate in council business. For this I am grateful.

Israel is sowing the seeds for hate.

[Ethan Levins 🇺🇸 @EthanLevins2]

Tyre is older than Rome, King Solomon's Temple, Alexander the Great, and Carthage.

Israel is DESTROYING Tyre—a city more than 5,000 years old and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The level of evil is unimaginable

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

"Los soldados israelíes me abofetearon, me patearon, me rompieron el coxis, me agredieron sexualmente... arrancaron mis pantalones y mi ropa interior, me insertaran una mano... a otras personas les insertaron armas dentro."

Juliet Lamont, una cineasta de documentales australiana y activista de la flotilla humanitaria de Gaza, denunció ser víctima de una violación por parte de los soldados terroristas de "Israel".

No verás esto en TV ni en la prensa occidental, "Israel" violó a mujeres que llevaban medicinas y alimentos a niños en Gaza... y a sus gobiernos occidentales ni siquiera les importa.

Why did Yves Sakila die, held down on a pavement in Ireland?
This video contains a disturbing scene that appears to echo what happened to George Floyd in the USA

It’s clear to me that Cambridge residents voted for change in the city.
🧌
Over the last week I have spoken with members from labour, greens and libs and offered to help.
🧌
I realise that I have no authority, but I expect the voter’s voice to be heard and the greens to be at least part of the administration.
People did not vote in the way they did, for the greens to be in opposition.
