Amos Goldberg, Professor of Genocide Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem "Yes, it is genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. Jewish history will henceforth be stained"

Is there anyone more qualified and unbiased?

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Those who defended this are treated as mainstream, respectable moderates.

Those who opposed this are treated as hateful, dangerous extremists.

The world is turned on its head.

With no accountability, this depravity is normalised and the world will burn.

Gaza.
Unreal.
Absolutely unreal what humanity is allowing to happen here.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Bowen points out Israel has blocked intl journalists from Gaza & he pays tribute to the Palestinian journalists there

This should have been the bare min from western journalists. Shamefully far too many stayed silent. I expect some will be trying to rewrite their record now

BREAKING:

This is not Gaza.

This is the town of Sinjil in the occupied West Bank.

Armed Israeli settlers are on a rampage burning Palestinian houses and vehicles, and terrorizing Palestinian families in the middle of the night.

This is terrorism.

If it looks like Hiroshima that’s because Israel has dropped the equivalent of 4 atom bombs on them

So honoured to be given this award and thank you everyone for such kind messages 🙏🏽🌺

Hope we managed to do justice to those who trusted us with telling their stories & to ask the difficult questions of those who need to be held to account 💪🏽

While many struggle to make ends meet, the wealth of the super-rich has soared. It doesn’t have to be this way. There’s another way and it starts with making those at the top pay their fair share.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

I am deeply alarmed by the approach of the police yesterday to those peacefully protesting for Palestine, including the treatment of John McDonnell MP and Jeremy Corbyn MP, two elected MPs with decades of participating in peaceful protest.

There is now clear evidence coming to light that shows the reality of what took place and that runs contrary to what has been alleged.

People should not be targeted for peacefully protesting against genocide.

The anti-protest laws introduced by the Tories were an affront to our democratic freedoms and their implementation is clearly undermining long-held civil rights and the freedom of expression. They should be revoked.

❌ WARNING ❌ these two “men” think it’s acceptable to film a women who lives alone for nearly 2 hours. Today they filmed all round the outside of my house and through my windows and through my gates. There was only me and 2 other women here. We asked them what they were doing and repeatedly asked them to stop but they wouldn’t stop and wouldn’t tell us what they were doing. They weren’t press or paparazzi. I called the police in the end who moved them on. They seemed to know my neighbours (they were laughing and joking with them) but the only thing we got out of them was that they’d come from 125 miles away?! They were aggressive and intimidating and nasty and seemed to be delighting in scaring me.

In NO ONE’S world is it ok for two men to be stalking and filming round the house of a women who lives alone. This is terrifying, horrific and disturbing. Women are being murdered by men daily and we, as women, are always scared when confronted by stalkery or aggressive men. We’re scared any time we have to go somewhere alone, we’re scared walking back to our cars at night alone. This behaviour HAS to stop.

THIS IS NOT OK.

Does anyone recognise these men?

Hind Rajab, 6 years old, pleaded for her life for 3 hours.

She and the Red Crescent paramedics who tried to rescue her, were murdered in cold blood by Israeli 🇮🇱 soldiers.

This mural in Dublin 🇮🇪 by Emmalene Blake celebrates her life.

Never forget.
Never forgive.

This is nearly the last bit of self-promo before the launch of #TheIconostasisOfAnxiety tomorrow.*

The hook, such as it is, is that another of the pamphlet outtakes is a ‘recently rediscovered’ image:

UK billionaires' wealth has skyrocketed in recent years.

▪️2013: £246 Billion
▪️2023: £684 Billion

We don't need more cuts - we need to tax extreme wealth.

That's what I'm fighting for. Sign up below to join my campaign to make the super-rich pay up.

There is UN taken video of cats eating dead bodies in Gaza 🇵🇸

You won’t see it on mainstream media

You won’t hear outrage from Starmer 🇬🇧

You won’t hear of a weapons ban on Israel 🇮🇱

You won’t see Israel 🇮🇱 suspended from the UN

Media; Starmer 🇬🇧 and Biden 🇺🇸 are all guilty

While Western media goes hysterical over a Saudi zionist in Germany:

Three weapons facilities have been shut down in the UK.

The company behind them? Israel's largest arms manufacturer.

This is the story mainstream media refuses to cover (and the dark reason behind it):🧵
