Every day is a great day when you consider the alternative.

Last night I chatted with Young Spencer, from the Shankill Road in west Belfast who performed to 12,000 kneecap fans at @FeileBelfast

“For years we have been told, you are a prod or you’re a catholic or you’re a hun or you’re a fenian and you are no more.

“If it’s from the Shankill to the Falls or anywhere in between the prerogative is to break down these walls for peace”

A sixteen-year-old boy was arrested in Bristol for holding a sign saying “PLASTICINE Action”.

This is exactly what people said would happen when Palestine Action were proscribed.

Yet another wrongful arrest that will make people frightened to say anything about Palestine.

I might have something in my eye.

A Muslim woman has been in touch to say since the racist riots earlier this summer she hasn’t been out much. She and friends came into town yesterday evening and felt safe at the Fleadh. “Go Northern Ireland, go Ireland”

“Why do Palestinians teach their children to hate Israel?”

They don’t. Generations of Palestinian children have been taught to hate Israel by Israeli soldiers just like these ones.

Trump just released a statement warning that if Abdul El-Sayed wins the Michigan Senate race, “I will be, sadly, the last Republican President!

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

What Abdul’s victory in Michigan means for the future.

I just checked who covered the historic mass funeral of 112 Palestinians in Gaza killed by Israel.

CNN? Nowhere.
MSNBC? Silent.
Fox News? Crickets.
BBC? Radio silence.

112 bodies. One mass funeral. Zero Western media coverage.

Journalism didn’t die. It just decided some mass funerals aren’t newsworthy.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

The reason the world is upset with Israel is because Israel has murdered ~85,000 people In Gaza alone. It's not because of antisemitism.

Israel is totally unleashed with no red lines, and has reached an unimaginable peak of evil.

[Banned Man @BannedxMan]

Israel blocks ambulances in the West Bank again.

Shoots Palestinians, then seals off medical access so they bleed out and die.

Deliberate. Sadistic. State policy.

@BBCNolan I thought taxi drivers would know how to navigate Belfast. Is retraining necessary?

@colmurphy97 @m_brosnan The Paddy Tally influence.

@cbnisraelaid Good to hear but your Government is doing a real disservice to decent Jews.
I hope this can be redressed soon.

[Karl Cunliffe @KDCunliffe]

Just flicked this on.

No idea what the rules are but whatever I’ve just witnessed was sensational.

@cbnisraelaid I failed to see any reference to Palestinians. Maybe I missed it.

[Sarah Wilkinson @swilkinsonbc]

More than a third of Andy Burnham’s new Cabinet are supporters of the influential Labour Party pro-israel lobbying group, ‘The National’ reveals https://t.co/EeO31qwiYV

[Danny Morrison @molloy1916]

The most dignified people on earth are Palestinians. They will prevail.

[Rangzen @revoltinghippie]

Is there anyone in the Andy Burnham cabinet who is not a member of Labour Friends of Israel?
