Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost.
Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not?
Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not?
Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can?
None of this is coherent.
Diane Abbott was the public victim of racist and misogynistic abuse, possibly even a hate crime. Today she had to sit in her workplace silently watching mostly white men discuss her as if she was invisible because another white man denied her the right to a question.
Abhorrent.
Rishi Sunak is basically saying that Muslims organising (like every other community organises) is a threat to British democracy.
I'll tell you what is a threat to British democracy - the pervasive influence of Apartheid Israel on UK politics and media.
Our most influential institutions are literally collaborating with Israel in a genocide and trying to shut down any powerful challenge to that. Now that's undemocratic.
You can disagree with George Galloway and everything he says, but to label his election as a threat to democracy undermines our electoral system and thus democracy.
That's not to mention signalling that those who voted for him are extremists.
Perhaps looking at why people voted for him over others and how to win those votes is a better place to start.
I think this is one of the most shameful days in Keir Starmer’s political career, and that’s saying something.
Deliberately torpedoing a motion for an immediate ceasefire by undermining parliamentary traditions.
Thousands and thousands of children are dead.
Shameful.
I'm no fan of the SNP but events today were disgraceful. Of the 20 opposition days, they get 3 Labour get 17. It's supposed to be a day when the SNP set the agenda & debate. The lack of respect for democratic process was staggering, The lack of respect for Palestinians sickening.
I’ve got to say todays glorification of a Labour Party that can’t call for an end of Genocide, can’t vote for a ceasefire and has a leader that thinks Israel ‘has the right’ to commit war crimes is sickening.
You're watching Italian antifascists standing strong against the cops in #Bologna tonight. Standing strong with the ppl of #Gaza. This is how we do it comrades. We can stop their genocide by taking control of our streets. #CeasefireNOW
There's no 'antisemitism crisis' and there never was.
British Jews are not 'unsafe' from people demanding a #GazaCeasefire: many of those demanding it are Jewish.
This panic-factory needs shutting down, it's dangerous.
Stop believing trash, start checking facts.

Jeremy Corbyn “If Israel carries on with its bombardment of Gaza, then surely every government around the world is going to ask: what is the point of international law if we can do what we like?”
Retweet if you agree with him
56 years ago today #LillianBilocca tried to jump aboard the ST Keverne, which sailed without a radio operator. It was an dangerous and headstrong thing to do. The trawler would have a radio operator, he met the ship in a motor launch from Bridlington. #HeadscarfRevolutionaries
