100 years ago today, Tony Benn was born.
This is from 2009 when he defied the BBC’s ban on a humanitarian appeal for Palestine.
For 77 years, Israel has killed & displaced Palestinians & the BBC continues to dehumanise them. Benn saw this injustice clearly & stood against it 🇵🇸
Have we reached the point where words no longer matter?
If you don't yet understand that Israel has created a hell on earth in Gaza – for no conceivable purpose, not even its bogus pretext of 'eliminating Hamas' – then you are beyond sense. You lack all humanity.
We call for the global boycott of the United States.
Boycott the USA wherever you can, see a US product? Put it back. Need to vacation? Go anywhere else. Have a subscription? Unsubscribe. #BoycottUSA
"Hitler had a decency to try to keep it secret. The Israelis are almost proud of it, and don't keep a secret, and it is demonically evil. It can't be more evil."
— Wallace Shawn
The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000.
Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600.
The US must end its complicity.
Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.
Trump: You are leeches. You are freeloaders. You're not doing enough. We're not going to pay for your defence anymore
Europe: Okay, we will pay for it
Trump: Great. Also, we make the best weapons but that doesn’t mean in five years they’ll be good. They'll be totally obsolete in five years. Also, we like to tone them down about 10 percent, which probably makes sense because whoever we sell them to, someday maybe they’re not our allies, right?
Europe: Okay we'll make our own weapons
Trump: HEY WOAH WOAH SLOW DOWN THERE
Marco Rubio: Any exclusion of U.S. companies from European tenders would be seen negatively by Washington.
US State Department: Trump welcomes stronger European defense—but not at the cost of new barriers against U.S. companies.
Europe: You guys are morons
Israel shot 15 medics, one by one, as they came to tend victims. Buried them in a mass grave. Ambulances crushed, buried with them.
If you were asked to make up the worst war crime imaginable you'd struggle to come up with this obscenity.
Christ almighty.

Sinn Féin/republicans/“the IRA” didn’t politicise the Irish language.
The British state did - centuries ago.
When they battered children for speaking it, and tried to wipe it out.
