After Russia invaded Ukraine, it was swiftly banned from all UEFA & FIFA tournaments.

Yet, after 13 months of genocide that has claimed 118,000+ Palestinian lives, Israel faces no such sanctions — highlighting the racist double standards entrenched in global politics & sports.

Intense interview with Jeremy Corbyn

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Congratulations to you, will you also congratulate Keir Starmer?"

Jeremy Corbyn, "It's a popular win.. I'm proud of our result.. Labour government, congratulations.. I'm an independent MP, I'll be holding the gov to account"

Alastair Campbell, "Like me, expelled from Labour, would you like to get back into it one day?"

JC, "I've been elected as an independent MP"

Rory Stewart, "Will Labour come in with a mini austerity?"

JC, "If Labour doesn't offer substantial changes then how can you bring the social changes that are needed.. People voted for change and they expect to get it"

AC, "What would you do about the rise of the right?"

JC, "Far right has risen because centrist parties have moved to the right.. Blaming refugees and migrants as if they're the cause for the inequalities in our society"

KGM, "Labour position on Israel and Gaza"

JC, "People are appalled when they see the pictures of destruction in Gaza.. There has to be a ceasefire.. recognise Palestine"

KGM, "Should Starmer recognise a Palestinian state?"

JC, "He should"

Were Tottenham the real winners despite their defeat against Wolves?

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

The UN has just voted 120-14 in favor of an “immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce” in Gaza.

Those voting against peace:

🇺🇸USA
🇮🇱Israel
🇦🇹Austria
🇨🇿Czechia
🇫🇯Fiji
🇬🇹Guatemala
🇲🇭Marshall Islands
🇫🇲Micronesia
🇳🇷Nauru
🇵🇬Papua New Guinea
🇵🇾Paraguay
🇹🇴Tonga

If you're wondering why all these tiny Pacific island nations voted "no" to peace, the reason is those are the only countries the US dollar could buy.

Step 1: Abuse and kill Muslims
Step 2: Wait for Muslims to respond to those abuses with violence
Step 3: Cite that violence as justification for more killing and abuse to fight "radical Islamic terrorism".

Works for the US empire's bogus "war on terror", and it works for Israel.

[Free Palestine @bitterarab]

The U.K. is planning to make waving the Palestinian flag a criminal offence right after it plastered Israeli flags all across buildings.

The same country that dubbed Nelson Mandela a terrorist for fighting against apartheid. Time and time again they show us who they are.

The Hypocrisy of the #EuropeanUnion has no limits. Now they will 'Stand with Israel' - will do 'whatever it takes' to support the Apartheid State of #Israel in their Collective Punishment of the defenceless people of #Palestine ...

If only Hamas killed civilians like civilized countries do by raining hellfire down upon them from the sky

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

No one really cared while Gaza’s Palestinans were subjected to a blockade imposed by Israel that denied them the essentials of life. The few dozen Israelis being held hostage by Hamas fighters pale in comparison with the two million Palestinians held hostage by Israel in an open-air prison for nearly two decades.

No one really cared when it emerged that Gaza’s Palestinians had been put on a “starvation diet” by Israel – only limited food was allowed in, calculated to keep the population barely fed.

No one really cared when Israel bombed the coastal enclave every few years, killing many hundreds of Palestinian civilians each time. Israel simply called it “mowing the lawn”. The destruction of vast areas of Gaza, what Israeli generals boasted of as returning the enclave to the Stone Age, was formalised as a military strategy known as the “Dahiya doctrine“.

No one really cared when Israeli snipers targeted nurses, youngsters and people in wheelchairs who came out to protest against their imprisonment by Israel. Many thousands were left as amputees after those snipers receivedorders to shoot the protesters indiscriminately in the legs or ankles.

Western concern at the deaths of Israeli civilians at the hands of Palestinian fighters is hard to stomach. Have not many hundreds of Palestinian children died over the past 15 years in Israel’s repeated bombing campaigns on Gaza? Did their lives not count as much as Israeli lives – and if not, why not?

Reminder that the United States gives Israel billions of dollars a year to behave as it does, and any commentary portraying the US as an honest broker hoping for peace is ignoring a lot of evidence to the contrary

30 signs you might be an empire simp:

1. You get triggered whenever anyone highlights the well-documented western provocations that paved the way to the war in Ukraine.

2. You think Putin invaded Ukraine solely because he is evil and hates freedom and the US is pouring weapons into the nation because it loves Ukrainians and wants to protect their freedom and democracy.

3. You’re more interested in Trump’s mugshot than the western-backed atrocities in Yemen or starvation sanctions in Syria.

4. You can listen to Tony Blinken talk without wanting to throw trash at his head.

5. You understand that the last time there was a credible foreign military threat near the US border the US responded so aggressively that it almost ended the world, yet you demand that Russia and China accept US military threats on their borders.

6. You think the US is filling Australia with war machinery because it loves Australians and wants to protect them from China.

7. You believe the world’s most destructive military force is encircling its #1 geopolitical rival with war machinery as a defensive measure.

8. You live in the most propagandized population on earth and make jokes about North Korean propaganda.

9. You live in the most propagandized population on earth and spend your time fretting about Russian propaganda.

10. You think the title of most murderous and tyrannical regime on earth belongs to any government besides Washington.

11. You live under the most murderous and tyrannical power structure on earth and yet spend your time shrieking about tyranny in Asian countries.

12. You want to see Vladimir Putin tried for war crimes before George W Bush.

13. You believe western interventionism has ever had anything to do with spreading freedom and democracy or protecting humanitarian interests.

14. You find protests in places like Iran, Venezuela or Cuba much more interesting than protests in places like France, Haiti or Chile.

15. You unironically call NATO a “defensive alliance”.

16. You rend your garments about China preparing to seize control of Taiwan by military force without ever acknowledging that the US empire is preparing to do the exact same thing.

17. You’ve ever believed for even one second that the US government gives a fuck about Muslims in China.

18. You oppose guns except when they’re being used to kill foreigners overseas.

19. You claim you oppose the misdeeds of all governments equally but find yourself spending most of your time yelling at people who criticize US foreign policy online.

20. You’ve ever accused anyone who criticizes US foreign policy of secretly working for Russia or China.

21. You’ve ever accused someone who criticizes Israel of being an anti-semite.

22. You think being anti-war means putting a Ukraine flag in your Twitter bio.

23. You think “the troops” have ever fought for your freedom at any time since you’ve been alive.

24. You think the invasion of Iraq had anything to do with liberating the Iraqi people.

25. You think the destruction of Libya had anything to do with protecting Libyans.

26. You think the west arming Al Qaeda in Syria had anything to do with advancing the interests of Syrians.

27. You think US escalations against Russia and China have anything to do with “national security”.

28. You think the Department of Defense has anything to do with defense.

29. You think it’s okay for the US to keep waging wars, destroying nations, starving civilian populations with economic sanctions, instigating proxy wars, arming neo-Nazis and violent jihadists, staging coups and persecuting journalists, because if it doesn’t do those things the world might be taken over by evil tyrants.

30. You were bothered by any item on this list.
