"Just following orders" does not absolve anyone from carrying out a genocide.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

It’s strange to see people upset about “hate” expressed toward Israeli military at Glastonbury

The IDF holds the world record for creating child amputees; murders people seeking food; and burns patients alive

If you don’t feel “hate” then something in you is seriously broken.

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

This you?

[Melissa Sigodo @melissasigodo]

The judge saying the killing wasn’t racist when he was racially abused before death is another cruel blow to be honest

[Fiona Lali @fiona_lali]

This story is absolutely heart breaking and dreadful. These children killed this man in a racist attack.

The consequence of our politicians, gutter press, and racist algorithms. RIP

i think we are underestimating how stupid chatgpt is making people

[Mel @Villgecrazylady]

This story is so nuts. A Jewish man sees two other Jewish men in a car driving down the road in Miami, he thinks they are Palestinians so he pulls up on them and unloads 17 rounds into their car.

THEN when the two victims are in the hospital recovering, they post about the attack on social media and literally end their post with “De*th to Arabs.”

Three strangers. All Jewish. And they all hate Arabs so much that one tries to kill the other two because he thinks they’re Arabs and then the other two blame Arabs for the attack. WTAF???

All of your bills are through the fucking roof, your house is fucking freezing, your water is 30% more expensive & full of human shite, you can’t afford to turn on the lights on, but at least the UK is flush with Bombs

Stormzy Deleting his Pro Palestine Posts & then Doing ads for McDonalds is a choice.
Mate, you really Didn't need that Cheque.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t save you, Julia…In a single second, Israel—created by you, in Britain - changed the course of my life. I lost my wife, I lost my daughter, my house.”

University of the Arts London (UAL) launches the Black Creatives Hub, a platform promoting Black students, staff, and alumni. Senior lecturer Maureen Salmon calls it a “timely intervention” to address underrepresentation

.@carolvorders YOU ARE BLOODY MAGNIFICENT. EVERY SINGLE WORD OF THIS 🔥🔥�

[CJ Werleman @cjwerleman]

This should embarrass every pro-Israel tool but it doesn’t.

[hajar @hajmedd]

don’t understand why pastry production is skewed in favour of morning people. It’s 7pm and I’m want a fresh pastry but they’re nowhere to be found? What necessitates pastry chefs waking up at 6am to bake for the morning crowd? For what sin are evening dwellers being punished?

We see you #FreePalestine

[BBC News Africa @BBCAfrica]

🇬🇭🧵1/9 It's been a year since X, formerly known as Twitter, fired almost all its staff at its only Africa office without severance pay, following the abrupt termination of their appointment by new owner Elon Musk. Here’s a thread on what’s happened since then.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Just when you thought she couldn’t sink any lower, today Suella Braverman described sleeping on the street as “a lifestyle choice”.

She really is one of the nastiest, most callous politicians in Westminster.

And that’s saying something.

[Nimer Sultany @NimerSultany]

"This kind of disregard leads millions of Palestinians to reach an unavoidable conclusion: that, compared with Israelis, their lives are less precious, their freedom less urgent... Are brown populations expendable?" https://t.co/Eu0sV8FvDc

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

It should not be controversial to oppose the killing of both Palestinian and Israeli children.

It should not be controversial to oppose war crimes.

But Margaret Hodge tried to shut me down, and lied, on @SkyPoliticsHub.

Here's the full interview.

This is absolutely wild.

[Zahra Warsame @Zahra_ZW]

Gaza is under complete siege. I'm in awe of Yousef's bravery, sharing the horror of war under the most difficult circumstances.

You won't see this anywhere else apart from @Channel4News
