The fact that there’s more noise about Zack Polanski not paying some council tax on a narrow boat, than there is about Nigel Farage taking a £5m bribe to run as an MP….confirms that it’s pretty fucking impossible to have functioning democracy AND a billionaire owned ‘free’ press

Tiktok is just a means of getting information. That would be like blaming planes for her husband visiting Epstein’s island

The BBC finally gains access to Gaza. The result is this truly appalling bit of reporting.

Up top Lucy Williamson observes "The Gaza of maps and memories is gone, replaced by a monochrome landscape of rubble stretching flat and still for 180 degreesm from Beit Hanoun on one side to Gaza City on the other."

Apparently this is the result of a disembodied entity called "the war."

She says the Israelis have returned continuously to this part of Gaza "as Hamas regrouped around its strongholds in the area." To most observers it has been blindingly obvious for more than a year that Israeli is engaged in a systematic campaign to render Gaza unliveable. In Beit Hanoun there is scarcely a stone standing on top of another stone. She really thinks this is all a by-product of fighting against Hamas?

No less than 10 of the paragraphs in the piece are "Israel says" paragraphs - almost none of them challenged.

"The ceasefire has faltered twice already", she says, which is an interesting way of describing the fact the Israelis are allowing in only a fraction of the aid they agreed to and have killed 240 Palestinians.

"Military censorship laws in Israel mean that military personnel were shown our material before publication. The BBC maintained editorial control of this report at all times," she says. If that's true, it just makes it all the worse.

Ben-Gvir, an authentically Israeli leader

Details of the assessment that led West Midlands police to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending a football match in Birmingham next month have been leaked to the Guardian.

They unequivocally show that police feared the Israeli club's fans would be the ones to instigate violence.

Starmer misrepresented the police assessments to demand that the ban be reversed. It is inconceivable that he was not aware of the police intelligence.

1. Dutch police told British counterparts that the Maccabi fans were behind the trouble in Amsterdam last year.

2. A source with inside knowledge of the police assessments said: “The biggest risk was always the extreme Maccabi fans who want to fight.”

3. A huge Dutch police effort, involving 5,000 officers across three days, was needed to quell the trouble.

4. According to a community impact assessment by West Midlands police, members of the Jewish community were among those who wanted the Maccabi fans banned.

5. So severe was the risk, police believed that at least 1,500 to 2,000 specialist riot police officers would need to be drafted in from around the country to cope with the Maccabi fans, at a minimum cost of £6million.

Starmer knew all this. So why did he effectively accuse the police of antisemitism and overrule their decision?

Who else has he been falsely accusing of antisemitism?

To all the courageous Israeli men and women who go to the Westbank to help protect the Palestinian olive harvest from extremist settler attacks: Your non-violent presence is a work of peace in the interest of security for both peoples.

[big john the boshfather @Johnfis08605918]

Is this because I was asked to meet @Nigel_Farage by @reformparty_uk and said no ? Well FYI I was also asked to meet Starmer and said no. I don’t want any part with you politicians. This is why

It’s wild how people can effortlessly understand the righteousness of everybody from Robin Hood to Andor and then in real life simp for the Sheriff of Nottingham and the Death Star

The Greens requested interview on Laura Kuenssberg with Zack Polanski when elected, but were denied, with promise to interview him during conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Israel: We are not starving Palestinians, Hamas are

Flotilla: Ok, we will sail to Palestine and directly feed Palestinians

Israel: That makes you Hamas

Flotilla: But you just said Hamas are starving Palestinians?

Israel: 💥 💥 💥

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Crazy that Obama, Hillary, the NYT, Darren Aronofsky, Time magazine all puffed up Greta Thunberg when they thought she’d settle into a life of Aspen institute panels and Pepsi-style gen z NGO activism but she instead went beastmode on Gaza and now they act like she never existed

[Wyatt Reed @wyattreed13]

Students taking a class on Palestine caught a literal spy from Israel’s Unit 8200 snooping around and surveilling them, so naturally Cornell responded exactly how you’d expect: they cancelled the class, accused the Jewish professor of antisemitism, and suspended him from teaching

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

This is simply not true. All contemporary genetic evidence shows remarkable continuity between current Palestinians and ancient Canaanites and Hebrew-speaking populations. Far more continuity than Ashkenazi Jewish populations.

You might not like this, Melanie. But it’s a fact.

Outrageous behavior of Israeli settlers exposed tonight on @Channel4News
A Palestinian father is shot on his own land by Israeli land thieves, yet the IDF arrest the Palestinian man's son & not the Israeli settler who shot him.
Trade with Israel should be banned in the UK & EU

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

in early oct2023 abu obeida said that the israeli hostages/pows would experience the same things all palestinians in gaza are experiencing since theyre now in the strip. since then israel has bombed hostages, shot them as they wave white flags & is now starving them all the same

[Mondoweiss @Mondoweiss]

THREAD: You know what the most unhinged comment we get all the time on our content is?

“Just release the hostages.”

Let’s talk about that.

[Abby Martin @AbbyMartin]

Just to be clear: Palestinians who refuse to “voluntarily” enter this concentration camp will be MURDERED. That’s the plan. Stated openly. And people still insist with a straight face that this isn’t genocide.
