Great thread... Need to take lessons from it

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

They all condemn "settler violence" until a Palestinian fights back. Then the Palestinian becomes the terrorist and the settler becomes the victim.

Liberal Zionism for you

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Khan's removal lines up neatly with the fight to neutralise Netanyahu's arrest warrant. Coincidence is a luxury intl law can no longer afford.

This proves that justice DOES threaten Apartheid Israel & Co. So if the ICC is paralysed, lawyers and judges worldwide must do more.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

POGROMS
against defenseless civilians
all over the West Bank (while Gaza is under fire).

Israeli civilians and army joining forces.

It is not just Nethanyahu and few "rotten apples".

THIS IS ISRAEL

ARMS EMBARGO NOW - STOP TRADE NOW

This is what intl law requires.

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

A terrorist known for burning people’s homes down shows up at your door armed with assault rifles. His group has killed 13 people this year alone. You manage to snatch his gun and shoot. The army shows up and kills you. The world sides with the terrorist. Why? You are Palestinian

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Andy Burnham could have ended UK arms sales to Israel the day he became Prime Minister.

Instead he chose to lick the boot of genocidal arms manufacturers like Elbit Systems while the bombs continue to fall on Gaza.

Every day Britain supplies those weapons, it is complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people.

Every day Arms Sales Andy refuses to stop them, so is he.

Shame on him.

Hace tres años, los españoles decidieron con su voto seguir avanzando en una agenda de progreso. Desde entonces, ¿qué hemos logrado?

- Liderar el crecimiento económico de Europa.

- Crear 1,6 millones de nuevos empleos.

- Aumentar la renta real de los hogares un 6% por encima de la inflación.

- Revalorizar la pensión media con 2.470€ adicionales al año.

- Tener una electricidad tres veces mas barata que Italia y la mitad que Alemania.

- Ampliar en tres semanas más los permisos de maternidad y paternidad.

- Habilitar 235.000 nuevas plazas de educación pública de 0-3 años y FP.

- ⁠Convertir nuestro país en un referente mundial de tolerancia, paz y coherencia moral.

Aún queda mucho trabajo por delante. Pero tenemos los objetivos y los principios muy claros.

Somos el Gobierno de la gente.
El Gobierno del progreso.
El Gobierno de España.

Imagine being anti-immigration and not supporting Palestinian resistance to this.

Whoever wrote these Mamdani remarks had a lot of fun.

And whoever came up with these pro small business, anti (bad) regulation policies, delivered by a socialist mayor, is smart.

Folks can scream about evil Mamdani on this site, but in real life he’s showing us why he’s winning

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

When the perpetrator is a white Christian man and the victim is a brown Sikh woman, funny how all of those details are left out of western media headlines.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Shock, horror! The pro-Israel folks in the US are willing to defend Israeli settlers threatening a US Congressman. There’s nothing they won’t defend.

Surprise:

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Thank you to all those who reached out asking about my safety. I am home. But I cannot get the stories of the indignities Palestinian face out or my head. I am still processing it and wanted to share some of what I saw.

[Khaled Elgindy @elgindy_]

Israel is the govt in the world that boasts about its own atrocities and war crimes—because they know they have absolute impunity.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

What on earth are you talking about?

You were literally in Cabinet while the UK continued to sell weapons that were used in the systematic killing of thousands of Palestinians.

You don’t get to rewrite history. Blood is on your hands too.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

3 in 10 Jewish adults in the US say Israel has committed a genocide in Gaza.

Does that mean they’re all raging antisemites engaged in a blood libel against… themselves? Paging @JGreenblattADL

[Erik Thurman is illustrating for a better future @ErikThurman]

I don't mean this as some sort of gotcha for the OP, but really the entire World Cup should have been boycotted the moment the US prevented the Irani team from remaining in the country after every day. We are here precisely because no action was taken there.

[Daniel Austin @_Dan_Austin]

Just to be clear, then. FIFA:

1) can't possibly intervene when Iran are forced to move, a referee is denied a visa, or fans are barred from the USA

2) can absolutely intervene when a decision goes against the USA that Donald Trump doesn't like

Smashing. All know where we stand

[Damian Hastie @DamianHastie]

The state of our politics is best shown by @carolecadwalla always being about 10 years ahead of everyone else in reporting and yet ridiculed & taken through the courts for it. Respect

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

“They brought me here to kill me. I don't see myself surviving. This is the end.”

These are the words of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the paediatrician who ran Gaza's last children's hospital. He has been held without charge by Israel for over 18 months, alongside at least 13 other Palestinian doctors from Gaza.

His lawyers say he has been held in solitary confinement, beaten, starved, and denied medical care. He is now in life-threatening danger and requires urgent hospitalisation.

Silence is complicity. @YvetteCooperMP must demand his immediate release and urgent medical treatment NOW.
