Refusing to say what is obvious to everyone else. Thus confirming stance as hardly indistinguishable from Starmer's.

This needs a public inquiry, and will never get one.
The second part of that is more instructive than the first.
There's no body free of Israeli money to conduct such an inquiry, and no media free of Israeli editorial control to publicise it anyway.
Country's f*cked.

An unelected Lord, appointed “antisemitism adviser”, now feels entitled or even qualified to explain antisemitism to a Jewish national party leader.

To add to all this - he's not Jewish.

Truly rabbit hole stuff.

The principle of a plebiscite is 50% plus 1. (Brexit comes to mind as an example of constitutional referendum passed by narrow margin.) A weighted majority (requiring two-thirds or three-quarters) is a gerrymander by another name. SDLP playing the orange card.

[Border Ireland for a United Ireland @border_ireland]

SDLP are content with status quo, lead by politicians based in Westminster, who realise that their political careers would end with Irish Unity.

🧵"Desidero che la Papamobile venga trasformata in una clinica mobile e donata ai bambini di Gaza"
Questa è una delle ultime volontà di Papa Francesco prima di morire.
Ad eseguire la disposizione di Papa Francesco, il Vaticano incarica il cardinale svedese Anders Arborelius che a sua volta incarica la Caritas svedese per la trasformazione del veicolo.

Quando la stampa dà la notizia dell'incarico alla Caritas svedese di trasformare la Papamobile in clinica mobile per i bambini di Gaza, scatta la solidarietà dei cittadini svedesi che in pochi giorni inviano alla Caritas cospicue donazioni.

Grazie alle somme raccolte, la Caritas, non solo riesce a trasformare la Papamobile in una clinica mobile fornita di attrezzature mediche di ultima generazione, ma acquista altre 12 ambulanze da inviare a Gaza.

A novembre dello scorso anno, quando i lavori sulla Papamobile sono ultimati, per celebrare l'evento e assolvere all'ultima volontà di Papa Francesco, il Vaticano sceglie Betlemme, la città simbolo per eccellenza della cristianità, la città dove nacque Cristo.
In Piazza della Mangiatoia, il cardinale Anders Arborelius benedice la Papamobile e le ambulanze in partenza verso Gaza.
La Papamobile viene rinominata "Veicolo della Speranza".

Passano giorni, settimane e poi mesi ma gli occupanti israeliani non consentono alla Caritas di fare entrare il Veicolo della Speranza a Gaza.
I rappresentanti del Vaticano e della Caritas chiedono più volte spiegazioni ma Israele si prende gioco di loro inventando storie assurde.
"Non è pervenuta alcuna richiesta di autorizzazione"
E poi ancora: "I materiali sanitari all'interno della Papamobile potrebbero finire nelle mani di Hamas ed essere usati come armi".

E intanto la Papamobile, trasformata in un gioiello della tecnologia medica, in grado di curare 200 bambini al giorno, è ancora lì, dopo sette mesi, sotto una teca in un parcheggio a pochi metri da Piazza della Mangiatoia in attesa di raggiungere i bambini di Gaza.

In uno stupendo articolo scritto dal cardinale Arborelius su ICN, Independent Catholic News (*link nel primo commento) il cardinale si rivolge alle autorità israeliane, chiede, quasi supplica, di lasciare entrare il Veicolo della Speranza ma non rinuncia a scrivere: "Negare le cure mediche ai bambini significa oltrepassare un limite morale che dovrebbe turbare tutti".

Limite morale che non turba i leader politici occidentali che ostentano senza ritegno la loro fede cristiana ma restano in un vile silenzio mentre la colonia di plastica denominata Israele umilia il Vaticano prendendosi gioco delle ultime volontà di un Papa.
Che schifo!

3,000 people including Legal experts have signed a formal complaint to the presiding judge in a Palestine Action case.

It's the first time in British legal history that protestors face sentencing as terrorists, without being convicted of terror offences.

Irish trade unionist Mick Lynch argues that Ireland should boycott its upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Israel:

“It is wrong that a country that has done the things Israel has done in Gaza should be allowed to compete in international sport as if there is nothing to be concerned about.

Taking a stand against that requires courage. Being prepared to accept the consequences of doing so requires resolve. The Irish people, however, have continued to show that throughout this terrible time.”

[Martin Shaw @martinshawx]

Harriet eviscerates Streeting’s self-serving positioning on Gaza.

Andy Burnham should learn from this - crocodile tears will not be enough to win back the large number of people who have been fundamentally alienated from Labour by its complicity in the genocide.

"Burnham declined to describe the catastrophe on the ground in Gaza as a genocide. 'I can’t judge things of that enormity from where I am as mayor of Greater Manchester,' he said."

You can always tell a Zionist - by which GENOCIDE they choose to deny.

[Michelle O’Neill @moneillsf]

I want to pay tribute to the families of those murdered in the Springhill/Westrock massacre by the British army who for more than five decades have campaigned for truth, justice and acknowledgement.

Despite obstacles, challenges and setbacks, they never gave up and never gave in.

Their dignity and resilience over the past 53 years has been nothing short of extraordinary.

The recent vindication in the courts, along with today’s apology by the British Prime Minister, stands as a testament to the families’ perseverance.

Today belongs to the victims of the Springhill/Westrock massacre, to their families, and to the people of West Belfast who stood shoulder to shoulder with them throughout this long and hard journey.
