I’m so proud to be affiliated with this club and community. Hats off to @SWFCTrust for transitioning from fighters to builders. Their efforts to selflessly raise money for those who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend games is so heartwarming and reassuring. And I’m very proud of the club for stepping up and supporting the effort.
The entire community should give itself a collective pat on the back for pitching in to make this such a successful and meaningful drive.
Just gives so much more meaning to We’re All Wednesday Aren’t We

Cenk Uygur on UK BAN:
"I can criticize the king. I can criticize the UK government. I can criticize the prime minister.
But I cannot criticize Israel. Just like in the old days when you couldn't criticize the king"
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!
👉NEW -- Revealed: How Britain weaponised terrorism laws against activists

Four Palestine Action activists could be sentenced as terrorists next month. New documents expose the UK government’s crackdown on pro-Palestine activism.

Four pro-Palestine activists could be sentenced as terrorists next month.
The authorities are refusing to say when offences cross the threshold into terrorism.
This is an unprecedented situation which infringes on civil liberties.
How did we get here❓

Four of the Palestine Action protestors have been convicted by jury of criminal damage.
At no point was it put to the jury that the judge may sentence them as terrorists.
This is unprecedented move and could set a further dangerous precedent for future cases relating to protests.

Hollywood director Steven Spielberg has funded the ADL, Birthright Israel, The Israel Experience, and the Jerusalem Foundation, which builds in the illegal settlements of Sheikh Jarrah, through his charity, the Righteous Persons Foundation.
To be honest I have been a bit stunned by Thursday's Court of Session decision effectively to cancel the Scottish judicial review on Palestine Action.
I expect shenanigans, but for the same judge to just reverse his decision because a Starmer minister turns up in court?
The UK government is colluding with Israel to imprison its own citizens. Four young people could soon be sentenced as “terrorists” despite no such conviction.
What is “terrorist connection” sentencing?
It’s a scandal.
