If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing. Malcolm X.

Starmer blocked a heavily pregnant Faiza Shaheen from standing for parliament - after she was democratically selected - for entirely bullshit, factional reasons.

But he nearly cried after resigning so a woman’s magazine says he’s a great feminist hero 💩

Reporter: Some members of the Jewish community, including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, were alarmed by the language you used at the rally last week, calling AIPAC monsters who move dark money.

Mamdani: I want to be very clear. We’re talking about a status quo where children are being killed on a daily basis. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the so-called ceasefire.

Even an Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah, was killed this past Saturday by an Israeli strike. And when I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has been supportive of the status quo, that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region.

And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept. And when it comes to the way in which they defend the status quo, oftentimes they defend it through direct contributions, as we are seeing right now in New York 13.

Oftentimes they also support the status quo through dark money, by funneling money that would have previously come directly from AIPAC through other organizations whose contributors’ identities are only made clear after an election.

And I think it is important that when we ask ourselves how such death and destruction is happening overseas, we also name those who allow it to take place.

Someone once reminded us that all political careers end in failure, but this is a particularly ignoble ending. The collapse of the edifice of Starmerism lies in its flimsy foundations but its architects still seem unable to accept this truth. The " resounding success" of 2024 which Starmer trumpets again, was built on sand- 500k fewer votes than 2019, 3 million fewer than 2017. Corbyn , as even John Mcternan acknowledged this week, garnered votes because he offered a vision of transformative change. Starmer never answered the basic question. What do you want power for? What fundamental change in the structure of power do you want to realise? In outlining his " successes" Starmer predictably returns to what he declared to be his defining mission - rooting out antisemitism. But his leadership confirmed what was always apparent. This was never a project rooted in a commitment to genuine antiracism. It was about conflating antisemitism and antizionism, weaponising the former to shield Israel from acountability for its crimes. This is how we arrived at the moment that will define his legacy, the moment when a human rights lawyer and self declared antiracist warrior told the world that Israel had the right to starve an entire people. Now he has the audacity to claim in his resignation speech that his Government has restored Britain's reputation for " decency" and "respect for the rule of law". The reality was articulated by @royarundhti this week when she said " buried under the rubble in Gaza is not just the bodies of Palestinians but the carcass of Western liberal democracy". Under Starmer Britain was not a silent witness but an active participant in genocide. Under Starmer, Labour shed any moral purpose and thereby stood for nothing. It has no answer to Reform's narrative that the social decay and community destruction that are fuelling its votes can be addressed by targeting people of different faiths and ethnic backgrounds. Coopting the language of antiracism in service of a racist genocidal regime disabled Labour from offering a vision of unity and cohesion on which to challenge the racismof the far right as did an unwillingness to tackle the economics that protect the wealthy elite and impoversish and disempower the majority. It is horribly fitting that the final collapse of the project occurs within days of racist pogroms unfolding on the streets of Belfast and some of the key architects of the campaign to conflate antisemitism and antizionism, publicly defending a synagogue hosting an event selling properties in illegal Israeli settlements and turning a blind eye to the far right thugs who attacked and racially abused those protesting this criminal event. Instead of being on the side of those protesting injustice Starmer has used the law to silence and repress them. Many of those now rallying around the saviour @AndyBurnhamGM show little appetite for addressing to root causes of Starmer's failure. Burnham fails the first test by telling us he is not a fit person to judge whether Britain is complicit in genocide. Why then, one might ask, are you running to be PM? What is required if a Reform Gov is to be prevented is not a change of faces at the top but a fundamental shift to a politics rooted in a desire to challenge injustice and the power structures that enable it at home and abroad. Starmer is not the problem. Its what he stood for.

London's Metropolitan Police are not investigating the Great Israeli Real Estate Event which took place in a London synagogue.

Please RT until they do.

Thank you.

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

WHY are you not investigating @metpoliceuk? There is information in the public domain that a serious crime has been committed

[ICJP @ICJPalestine]

Despite the abundance of evidence and legal warnings given to the @metpoliceuk prior to the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate’ event, no attempts were made to prevent the promotion of properties in illegal Israeli settlements on UK soil. This is an abhorrent failure by the Met and the public has a right to know on what assessment this decision was made.

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

By the way, isn’t it interesting how all these football journalists suddenly found a way to ask “political” questions when speaking to Iranian players?

I don’t remember seeing the same energy with American or Israeli players.

[Lyn🦋 @_ayandamay]

Palestine didn’t “fail to qualify” for the World Cup.

Israel literally killed everyone on the team.

[Kate 🕊 @affleckquine]

The head of Met Police must resign:
Allowed a sale in a synagogue to proceed when there was clear evidence it was illegal.
Claimed to have investigated the event, was this a lie?
Arresting protesters trying to stop the event, in order to allow an illegal sale of Palestinian land

[Shoaib M Khan @ShoaibMKhan]

Woman acquitted of sending persistent emails to cause annoyance to the PM, foreign minister and her MP about Gaza.

So, she sent emails about Gaza, so her local MP @peterkyle reported her to the police?

Imagine how much time and money was wasted on this.

There is zero excuse for this. None. I taught children on the very land this settlement was built on. I habe been to the horrific site where they were forcibly displaced to next to Jerusalem's garbage dump. This is a war crime.

🚨🇮🇶 THIS IS THE STORY OF AYMEN HUSSEIN!

• His father was killed by Al Qaida.

• His brother was kidnapped and never found again.

• When he entered the USA for the World Cup, he was interrogated for 7 hours.

• He was very close to not being allowed to enter the country.

• And now he scores the 2nd goal in Iraq's World Cup history.

No one who believes that Irish families do not deserve justice should be anywhere near Labour leadership. And disgracefully smearing those families is of a part with the arrogance that made the Brits feel they were untouchable.

[ICJP @ICJPalestine]

We sent a legal warning to Edgware United Synagogue advising that the "Great Israeli Real Estate" marketed property in illegal Israeli settlements.

They're a registered UK charity. The @ChtyCommission obligation to investigate is unequivocal.
