A white man named Chas Chorrigan has just been jailed for life for murdering a Saudi student, Mohammed Algasim, in Cambridge.

There will be no political circus around this. No strong words from Farage. This selective outrage is what causes further division.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

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.

I've been talking to a lot of press since I got banned from the UK. Media has been trained to believe the feelings of people who are pro-genocide are more important than lives of 23,000 Palestinian children. Their deaths are a minor problem, offending Zionists is a huge problem!

First Thornberry. Now this one.

They know a reckoning is coming, and they're scrambling to save themselves. But the archives don't forget - and they don't lie.

[Global Insight Journal @GlobalIJournal]

Reporter of China State Television CGTN, broadcasting in front of Gaza Shifa Hospital:

"I saw with my own eyes that there were at least 10 Palestinian children under the age of 5 without heads."

This video of Israel’s latest war crime is being systematically suppressed by Twitter.

I screen recorded the moment the platform removed 19 retweets from the post — evidence of Western war crimes being targeted by Elon’s algorithm.

Minutes later, it removed 21 more retweets👇

Europa was a legendary Phoenician princess from Tyre - after which Europe has its name.

Now Tyre is being destroyed, and almost every government in Europe either enables, or cheers on, the destruction of the values it claimed to uphold.

@cenkuygur This Labour government don't give a shit about community cohesion. Every time they ban someone, whether they're from the left *or* from the right, from entering the UK, they're creating resentment, suspicion, and blame.

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

... or banning @cenkuygur and Hasan Piker from the UK for speech acts *which would not be unlawful in this country*, what we're witnessing is an authoritarian turn motivated by Labour's fear of being called antisemitic, and fear of being called out for their position on the genocidal war on Gaza.

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

Secondly, it's abundantly clear that the UK government has put Israel at the heart of its policymaking around free expression. Whether it's proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist group, arresting hundreds of people for holding signs supporting it...

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

I was supposed to chair the @hasanthehun discussion at SXSW this week, who's been banned from entering the UK by Shabana Mahmood. First of all, @sxsw must facilitate a way for Hasan and Cenk to contribute remotely, as a bare minimum refusal to comply with government censorship.

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

Great to have @cenkuygur join us on @novaramedia tonight.

Mr Prime Minister, you are making this country a laughing stock! @Keir_Starmer

A statement from the President, Arwa Elrayess:

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

The headline talks about Antisemitism fears.

Yet both people were criticising a genocidal Israeli Government.

This constant conflation of criticism of Jewish people with criticism of Israel makes me as a Jewish person feel less safe.

Such a dangerous decision by Labour.

[George Galloway @georgegalloway]

These are Australian women. Salute them.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

This is a really grim decision alongside Cenk.

People often talk about dangerous road we'd go down under a Reform government - this is another clear warning we're down there already.

A Labour government doing everything possible to silence criticism of the Israeli Government.

🔴 NEW: An Israeli drone strike on a motorcycle in Adoussiyeh, south Lebanon, killed a couple and left their young child wounded and bloodied, and crying beside their bodies, according to local reports and footage from the scene.

Journalist Hadi Hoteit said the strike hit near Ghaziyeh, between Sidon and Tyre, in an area many residents believed was safe.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

@cenkuygur Insane. We are a laughing stock.
