History will remember these people 👇 as the true heroes of Israel, those smart enough to understand the right side of history, and courageous enough to say no in the face of extraordinary societal pressure. https://t.co/ayCIBNt0xg
These 2 profiles are actually perfect because they illustrate that you should never judge a people, or a segment of a people, as a whole. Old or young, religious or not, you can always find people who stand out.
Sadly they constitute a minority in today's Israeli society but it's all the more reason to highlight them. Because if you paint everyone with the same brush no matter their stance, it makes it all the more harder to do the courageous thing.
Ngama has been in the UK since she was 11. She can't return to Cameroon where homosexuality is illegal. GB Boxing backed her visa application, to no avail. Heartwarming that the Refugee team has won a medal, heartbreaking how her story reveals the cruelty of the UK refugee system
Do you remember when @GaryLineker said some of the dehumanising language used by the last Tory government about migrants and asylum seekers was reminiscent of Germany in the 30s. And the right were furious. Outrageous they screeched. Well, he wasn't wrong was he.

🇪🇸 Pedro Sanchez calls out NATO for double standards… “If we are defending International Law in Ukraine, then we must defend International Law in Gaza”…🇵🇸
Lo tienes fácil, Víctor. Habla con tus compañeros, os organizáis y convocáis huelgas hasta lograr vuestra subida salarial. No os preocupéis que los docentes de instituto o colegio de Secundaria os apoyaremos. Las críticas a los que os pagan, no a los compañeros de Secundaria.
No son "menas", son niños y adolescentes que huyen de la miseria.
No se reparten como mercancía, se reubican porque Canarias no puede con tantos.
No son números, son derechos humanos.
No es una patata caliente, es solidaridad. Una garantía constitucional.
Sí es xenofobia.
@IdafeMartin@BenderOfuscado Labour en sí es menos de izquierdas desde las expulsiones de cuatro grupos internos y unos 1000 militantes socialistas en 2021, de Ken Loach et al., la suspension de Jeremy Corbyn... Es cuestión del carácter del líder, sí, pero también de quien lo compone y a quien presentan
