John Wayne was a Nazi

what’s the greatest opening line to a song?

Next time a visibly Muslim woman is mowed down with a car, violently attacked, or women of colour are raped by far-right thugs, remember the scenes of these “Christian” harlots dehumanising our niqabi sisters.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

It’s just gutter racism. That’s what we saw in London today. And, to make a glaringly obvious point, if pro-Palestine protesters had pulled a stunt like this about Judaism the police would storm the stage and Starmer would call a Cobra meeting.

[Here's What I Reckon: @angryaboutbikes]

Polanski cartoon feeling a lot like the time The Sun published a Nazi hitlist of leftist figures and then the UK news media all politely forgot how to type for a few days and then just never ever mentioned it ever again.

[Humongous Ape MP @apesahoy]

These are all the mosques within walking distance of Tommy Robinson's planned fashmarch on the 16th of May. The London Metropolitan Police is simply pro-fascist.

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

From this, we learn that Islamophobia is not equal or equivalent to antisemitism. In short: antisemitism bad, Islamophobia ok.

[Ross Greer @Ross_Greer]

In the last week @ZackPolanski has been 'scrutinised' by fair & impartial journalists including an ex-Labour minister married to a current Labour minister (ITV) and a guy whose Best Man was Peter Mandelson (Sky).

It really is a cosy wee club & they loathe being called out for it

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

I'm just so so sick of ignorant media Islamophobes in senior positions of the UK & US media viciously going after anyone that dares stand up against the slaughter and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

Trevor Phillips notoriously got suspended from the Labour Party for Islamophobia, and you get the feeling, watching this astonishingly rude & sneary interview with @ZackPolanski, virtually the only senior British politician to show any sympathy for the Gazans, that Phillips frankly wouldn't lose a wink of sleep if every last Palestinian was erased from the face of the earth. He certainly can't see anything positive about protesting their genocide.

Which raises the question: how and why did someone with such a record of toxic divisiveness ever get offered a Prime Time show in the first place?

[Martin Shaw @martinshawx]

Israel is committing genocide, the vast majority of genocide scholars (of whom I am one) and human rights organisations agree. @ZackPolanski is only stating a well-established truth. The campaign against him is a campaign of genocide denial.

[Raphael Dogg @raphaeldogg]

Really? That's interesting. Because my wife's charity deals with hundreds of disabled families and she assures me she's never met anyone getting anything remotely like £50,000. And I know you wouldn't bald-faced lie, Helen, so tell me a little more about these claimants.

[Michał Podlewski @trajektoriePL]

Richard Dawkins says that after spending three days interacting with Claude, which he calls “Claudia,” he is certain that it is conscious.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

If you are a Jewish victim of an attack, it's an antisemitic attack.

If you are a Muslim victim of an attack, you don't even exist.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I can’t imagine Trevor Phillips saying this to any other Jewish politician in the UK, certainly not one from the Labour or Tory parties, and certainly not on this tone.

If you had any doubts they’re trying to ‘Corbynize’ Polanski:

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

When Jewish people speak out against genocide, why are our voices dismissed?

And smirking while I describe someone Nazi-saluting at me isn’t just disrespectful - it feels deeply antisemitic.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

British journalists: “listen to Jewish people!”

@ZackPolanski : “In my vie…”

British journalists: “no, not you!”

[Linda Mamoun @mamoun_linda]

An Israeli soldier shoved an elderly Palestinian woman to the ground with his rifle, killing her in front of her husband.

If she were Israeli, her name, photo, and husband’s testimony would be plastered on every front page.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Trump had time on his side during the ceasefire - until he imposed the blockade per the recommendation of FDD, Israel, and Lindsey Graham. Though the blockade is hurting Iran, it has ended up hurting Trump more, with oil prices now exceeding where they were even during the war itself.

[Marl Karx @BareLeft]

Again, you can see why they're extremely sensitive to the suggestion of wrongdoing, to the point they broke purdah and precedent to make highly political attacks against Zack Polanski for even *retweeting* something critical about how the Met handled the arrest.

[Marl Karx @BareLeft]

People are right to bring this case up in relation to the attack in Golders Green, because it puts to rest the moronic assertion that booting people in the head is Standard Operating Procedure for the Police.

It's not, and the Met know it.
