Many people boycotted the World Cup in Qatar.
But Qatar never blocked the entry of fans, reporters, players and REFEREES because they had the wrong skin colour.
This is the most appalling, RACIST World Cup and it should be boycotted by everybody.
I am more than familiar with Palestine history during the British occupation -its crimes and legacy - and yet. Watching #Palestine36 was a gut-wrenching experience.
Gentle as it can be, Palestinian storytelling cannot hide the horror of the crimes Palestinians have endured.
Whilst the @NHS is contemplating a ban on its staff wearing anything that shows humanitarian solidarity with Palestinians...
... it continues to be ok with employing staff who actively took part in what the UN, human rights organisations & legal scholars describe as #genocide.
"A Swiss court has acquitted five Palestine solidarity activists, annulled their fines, recognised the reality of genocide in Palestine, and affirmed that peaceful civil disobedience is protected by freedom of expression."
Please RT this until the UK courts do the same.
Thanks.
The ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ is to be held in London this Sunday.
This disgraceful event will involve the sale of land stolen from Palestinians in illegal Israeli settlements.
Today, I called for the Government to ban this event.
The Ottoman Empire governed Palestine peacefully for 400 years, granting autonomy to religious communities to run their own courts with harmonious coexistence between Muslims, Christians & Jews. You’ve brought death & destruction to Palestinians & now Lebanon in 70 years.
Thank you to the 140 honourable members of the U.K. Parliament for signing a letter to Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper calling for accountability and sanctions against Israel, including a total ban on trading with the illegal settlements.
Over to the U.K. government.
Stop the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ taking place in London on 14 June. Palestinian land is not for sale. Such sales are illegal & unethical. This event should not be allowed to go ahead
When Corbyn was accused of surrounding himself with people who agreed with him, the press was full of names and terms for this group and their alleged ideology. How strange that when it comes to the Starmer-McSweeney-Mandelson group, the press has no ideological terms for them.
🟥 Today, Sarah Wilkinson @swilkinsonbc is back in court.
🔳 Birmingham. 10:00am. Newton Road Crown Court.
🔳 A veteran activist, journalist, and humanitarian dragged through the courts not for harming anyone, but for speaking for Palestine and exposing what was being done to Gaza while others stayed silent.
🔳 For more than a year, they have restricted her life, kept her under conditions no decent society should accept, while those backing war crimes travel freely and lecture the world about democracy.
🔳 Her real crime was truth. Her real crime was conscience. Her real crime was refusing to abandon Palestine.
🔳 Be there for her today. Stand with her. Show her she does not stand alone.
🟥 When truth is put on trial, silence becomes complicity.

Apparently, there’s a news blackout in the UK media on some of the key details of the ongoing Palestine Action Filton retrial.
It’s utterly shocking that we can only hear about it from this American source. 👇
“Open the road.”
Palestinian children protest at barbed wire erected by Israeli settlers in occupied West Bank village of Um al-Khair—calling for their basic right to access their school, move freely, & live without occupation.
Imagine your child facing this on the way to class
🚨 Join the protest outside Barclays’ AGM
⏰ 7 May, 10am
📍 QEII Centre, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, London, SW1P 3EE.
Barclays is bankrolling Israel’s genocide, military occupation and apartheid against Palestinians. The bank provides investment and loans worth over £8 billion to arms companies supplying Israel with the weapons and military technology used in its military assaults on Palestinians. At the AGM, Barclays’ senior management will outline the bank’s plan for the next year. We’ll be there to demand they end Barclays complicity in Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. Join us!
