@bassamkaram @masss11 Glyphosate is widely used worldwide and in Lebanon. It has inherent hazards and is suspected of carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity (GHS Japan).
Our MoAg is reporting very high residue levels (I heard 40x), meaning that those hazards are more likely to manifest.

@SergeZarka It’s good to remember, @SergeZarka, that there’s someone doing the bombing, and someone being bombed.
If your kid misbehaves and you threw them out the window, the law is still going to prosecute you for throwing them out.

Israel just bombed a residential building in central Beirut killing and injuring over 130 people at least. Look how Western media tries to cover this up.

-Don’t mention Israel
-Cast doubt
-Justify with assassination story

You have to see it, you have to see it’s all by design.

This speech that @georgegalloway the leader of the @WorkersPartyGB did last night moved me beyond words. I wanted to share this with you all. Listen to the end you will be moved.

This is one of the most significant anniversaries, and it is being used to justify genocide against the #Palestinian 🇵🇸 people and now the #Lebanese 🇱🇧 people.

On the 7th of October, 1944, Auschwitz-Birkenau witnessed an uprising by Jewish prisoners. Their story, is told by George Galloway, highlights the meaning of resistance and why tyranny is always resisted by humanity. It reminds us that standing against oppression is a fundamental human impulse.

What deeply troubles me right now is the attitude of those who support Palestine, particularly the leadership within the Palestinian solidarity campaign PSC.

They have sidelined George Galloway, who has been one of the most consistent and powerful advocates for the Palestinian cause since the 1980s. I cannot comprehend why he has been excluded from the platform when Britain is raising its voice against these atrocities. It seems there is an agenda at play that does not fully align with the unwavering support for the Palestinian people.

When you silence a voice that has been the strongest advocate of our time—one who speaks for Palestine and Lebanon—you are not serving the cause of justice. Instead, you are doing the work of those who seek to oppress. I urge the leaders of the PSC to reconsider their exclusion of George Galloway, Chris Williamson, Craig Murray, and other members of the Workers Party, who have devoted their lives to keeping the Palestinian cause at the heart of our party’s mission.

Not the torturer will scare me
Nor the body's final fall
Nor the barrels of death's rifles
Nor the shadows on the wall
Nor the night when to the ground
The last dim star of pain, is hurled
But the blind indifference
Of a merciless, unfeeling world

…Strike against Terror. Victory over Terror. War on Terror. Everlasting War on Terror. Rarely in history have soldiers and journalists and presidents and kings aligned themselves in such thoughtless, unquestioning ranks.”

“Terrorism, terrorism, terrorism. It has become a full stop, a punctuation mark, a phrase, a speech, a sermon, the be-all and end-all of everything that we must hate in order to ignore injustice and occupation and murder on a mass scale….
