@JaneGerson@hoffman_noa Orrrr maybe many Jewish Londoners are happy to vote for a proudly Jewish-led Green Party based on strong shared British Values, and youre imagining a scary threat from them because youve just been misled?
@mishtal@SadiqKhan@TfL A very common pattern Ive noticed. Defenders of the various crimes of Israel will accuse critics of hypocrisy, without ever saying where they themselves stand on the issue in question.
E.g does Mr Collier believe all adverts for occupied land should be banned in London, or not?
UK position is clear: settlements are illegal under international law. Development in E1 would divide the West Bank in two, seriously undermine a two‑state solution, and carries significant legal and reputational risks for those involved.
@tzitzikostas@VoriaGr@Transport_EU@EEAthina Cruise shipping could become a lot more sustainable, but to do so we need all governments, including Greece, to support the adoption of the @IMOHQ Net Zero Framework that they already agreed last year.
No time to waste
BREAKING: Danish shipping giant Maersk has been shipping key weapons components, according to a new report published by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) and Oxfam Denmark.

@HenMazzig Political ideologies are not a protected characteristic under the 2008 Equality Act.
Indeed it would be bizarre, totalitarian and un-British to attempt to make any political or nationalist ideology officially exempt from freedom of speech and illegal to criticize, would it not?
@DonalMoloney10 If you wish to deny the Gaza genocide happened, the onus is on you to trawl through the mountain of evidence coalated by the worlds leading human rights organisations, and refute it line by line with better evidence.
If you cant do this, youre just a genocide denier.
@Aizenberg55@FranceskAlbs You would have to find evidence to accuse someone of being racist and discriminating against a particular group, its not something you can just yell at people you dislike.
Has this woman ever unjustly fired someone for their religion, for example?
@DavQuinn Doesnt actually address the central ethical question at all
Does the author believe Ireland should boycott matches against countries violating human rights like Iran and Israel- or not?
Anyone can point out the hypocrisy of others, its harder to stand up your own ethical case
Statement by the Netherlands, the UK, France, Sweden, Japan, Australia and others, on the importance of humanitarian access to Gaza.

👏 🇬🇧 Zeteo UK is here to disrupt Britain’s broken media! We’ll be bringing fearless, independent journalism to the UK - no bowing to political pressure, no corporate interests, just fearless journalism.
@Irishchutzpah So is the letter arguing that Ireland *should* boycott matches against Qatar, Afghanistan and Ireland, or that it shouldnt?
I hate it when people make accusations of hypocrisy in others, without being clear what their own moral stance is
Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

@AllisonPearson I would still trust a police officer. And thanks to years of effort to root out the small minority of racists and bigots, many more parents now trust the police. Its great
@tzitzikostas@CBSNews@Transport_EU@CBS European airlines are not blameless in this crisis; in “normal” times they funnel millions of dollars to the worst oil dictators on the planet, who use that money to start wars (eg Putin)
Shouldnt EU set minimum human rights standards on jet fuel?

@SkyNews@adamparsons I remember in 2024 when alleging that gaining control of more territory was a war aim was considered so “extreme” and far fetched it was not a viewpoint accepted onto Sky News
Israel’s military escalation in Lebanon has displaced civilians, destroyed infrastructure, and eroded space for diplomacy. It must end.
Hizballah must end attacks on Israel and disarm.
All parties must support negotiations towards a lasting political settlement.
