Marwa Harb wrote about her friend, Theodosia Karam, who was killed alongside her father and brother by Israeli forces in South Lebanon yesterday while returning from university:
“You sat for your exam, and none of us knew it would be your last.”
Jeremy Corbyn in conversation with OR Books publisher Colin Robinson on allegations of antisemitism, Keir Starmer's leadership, and the future direction of the Labour Party.
A survivor of Jeffrey Epstein has said the latest release of documents relating to Peter Mandelson raises fresh questions that should be examined through a UK public inquiry.
"In light of the recent files concerning Peter Mandelson, and despite the many warnings and concerns raised about his appointment, I find it difficult to accept statements expressing sympathy for survivors when those survivors have never been given the opportunity to be heard."

The Zionists are on the back foot and they're getting desperate. That's why it's crucial to intensify the pressure and to make no concessions whatsoever to these genocidal maniacs.
In 1982, Israel bombed the Beirut airport.
The Lebanese were trapped as the IDF marched into Beirut, massacring thousands of civilians.
Hezbollah didn’t exist.
They will never be able to re-write their history — @archivegenocide has stored and secured over 100,000 statements of politicians, like @EmilyThornberry, where they defended and excused flagrant violations of international humanitarian law.
Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods.
Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Read that again.
The goal isn't military. It's destabilizing social stability in Lebanon.
Cenk Uygur: "I'm banned from the UK. Am I permanently banned? Are you banning 60% of Americans who criticize Israel?
Why are you singling out one country that cannot be criticized? I mean, isn't it absurd that you're only banning people for criticizing one country?
what I would ask him is, is Britain free, or is it not free?"
Human Rights Watch has concluded that Israel's denial of water to Gaza amounts to an act of genocide.
In October 2023, Keir Starmer said "Israel does have that right" to cut off water and power from Gaza. This is what complicity in genocide looks like👇
Adam Hamawy describes what he wishes people could understand from his time treating patients in Gaza:
"Much worse" than what we see online.
"The smells, the full senses…crying children, the families…to see this every single day…you just can't even describe it well enough."
The UK bans two American Israel critics from entering Britain, having welcomed and given 'special immunity' to (to avoid their prosecution for war crimes):
🇮🇱 Maj Gen Tomer Bar, Commander Israel Air Force
🇮🇱 Lt Gen Herzi Halevi, IDF chief of staff
🇮🇱 Gen Oded Basyuk, head of IDF Operations Directorate
Western leaders allowed Israel and the US to tear up the rules of war in Gaza as they committed genocide.
We shouldn't be surprised they're now rolling out the same playbook in Lebanon, destroying hospitals and vital civilian infrastructure.
Yet another devastating thread by @jodymcintyre_ exposing how close senior Labour figures are to the genocidal Zionist entity. These people are perverting our democracy.
You were part of a cabinet that armed and supported a genocidal apartheid Israeli state.
Spare us the crocodile tears.
No amount of revisionism erases your role in that. You’re complicit, whether you like it or not.
The President of Ireland, Catherine Connolly, has declared that Israel is a terrorist state. You won’t find this kind of courage anywhere in the Zionist-ruled US and UK governments.
Criticising a public figure – who isn't even Jewish – for backing Israel during its genocide may be many things but it most certainly isn't "antisemitism".
Yet our police, politicians and media keep making this rudimentary mistake. Almost like this isn't really about Jew hatred
Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is not war’s collateral damage. This is design.
As my friend Gideon Levy writes—and he knows, he knows—this is the prelude to expulsion. Think of it: a society without teachers, without doctors, without social workers, without engineers, without clerks. That is not a society. That is a holding pen. A slow erasure. And when nothing functions—no school, no hospital, no office, no heart—then it becomes ‘easy,’ they tell themselves, to scatter the people to the four corners of the earth. Like seeds from a broken pod, except no soil will take them.
We must name this. Not with rage alone, though rage is honest. But with the cold, clear tears of recognition: they are making life impossible so that departure becomes the only ‘choice.’ And the world watches, adjusts its spectacles, and calls for restraint. Restraint! There is no restraint in a slow drowning.
