What's galling about this is it won't change anything. Will journalists like Daniel Finkelstein retract their claims that Israel doesn't target children? Will the media include this testimony when it references the Israeli army's claim that it operates proportionately? Nope.

The Israeli gov't knowingly starved Palestinian civilians, USA gov't knew they were doing it, the Biden administration deliberately covered up this fact & lied about it. This is as big a scandal as imaginable. Yet it is likely to receive little traction in the mainstream media.

@SamKmuffin @DrFrancesRyan It's so telling that he reflexively views the ongoing massacre in Gaza as a Labour party factional issue. They can't help showing us what monsters they are.

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

I say this in my upcoming bit on The Guardian but this is really not the way for Starmer to respond to pro-Gaza hecklers. Tens of thousands of people have died. Children are being blown up. A dismissive little laugh comes across at best, smug and at worst, cruelly indifferent.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

“There is no justification for the UK’s continued arms sales to Israel, yet somehow it continues.”
Labour has allowed these illegal sales to continue, and is therefore complicit in the unfolding genocide in Gaza.

@michaeljswalker Given the lower turnout, 20.4% of eligible voters voted for Starmer.

In 2019, 21.6% for Corbyn.

Nikki Hailey in Israel scribbling "FINISH THEM"on the shells that the IDF is about to fire into Rafah in defiance of the International Court of Justice. Biden provided the shells, Republicans autograph them. The US political class is united in its complicity with this genocide.

Our @UofGlasgow Peregrine Falcon chicks are growing up so fast! Last week our four healthy fledglings were successfully ringed, so they can be tracked and monitored wherever they go. 💙

Stay tuned for the new names for our Falcons soon... #TeamUofG @RSPBGlasgow @ScottishBirding

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

I am fascinated by the WSJ's response to the ICC. They accuse the court of ignoring a "crucial distinction" between death squads & bomber pilots. In other words, if high-tech armies kill people from the skies, that's inherently morally different from shootings by non-state actors

[Serena Barker-Singh @serenabarksing]

For Rishi Sunak there is a drop of around 13 points but for Labour it is much more significant.

Keir Starmer suffers a huge fall of 29 points among ethnic minorities since the 7th Oct attacks.

According to these figures, Labour are at risk of losing a wide range of voters over Gaza, not just from the Muslim community.

5/6

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

A senior Israeli Govt Minister is being explicit. They want to occupy Gaza and expel people from their homes.

There is nothing "voluntary" about turning people's homes to rubble and making their land uninhabitable, thereby forcing them to leave.

It is called ethnic cleansing.

[Ally Fogg @AllyFogg]

The most repugnant thing about this is that @DavidLammy knows full well the truth of Mandela's politics, ideology & tactics, just as he knows full well why there are mass protests over Gaza but not Sudan or DRC.

He is actively playing dumb to sidestep his own responsibilities

[michael wave @michael___wave]

remember kids, if you think this is horrifying, if you’d prefer your university did not invest your tuition fees in facilitating this, the administration sees you, hears you, and will have your fucking head kicked in

[Steven Donziger @SDonziger]

BREAKING: This brilliant speech yesterday by a Columbia professor on the cowardice of the university administration in calling in police to arrest students will be cited throughout history -– and will inspire generations of students for decades to come.

Columbia still on lockdown two days later.⤵️

The usual everyone-has-fucked-it-except-me-and-my-monkey from Rafa here. But what happens when he encounters nationalism he approves of that isn’t only destructive, but massively murderous? Let’s find out https://t.co/IZ7IGvwDHm https://t.co/tA742UeUB2
