Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost.
Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not?
Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not?
Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can?
None of this is coherent.
The language of whitewashing:
🇮🇱: Invades Lebanon
Media: Israel sends troops
🇮🇱: Bombs civilians
Media: Blasts heard, people say
🇮🇱: Destroys Rafah
Media: A limited operation
🇮🇱: Blocks aid
Media: Hunger stalks Gaza
🇮🇱: Flattens apartment buildings
Media: A targeted strike
35 new victims of Andrew & Tristan Tate. THIRTY FIVE. Including minors. That's 50 women and children, all victims of sexual abuse by these men. Yet Tate remains REVERED by hundreds of thousands of young boys and men. Do not tell me misogyny isn't a HUGE danger to women and girls.
Respect to the White people who have put their safety at risk to protect minorities and other groups during all the chaos. With the level of unhinged damage and destruction across the U.K., this can’t be overlooked. It’s always easier to do the wrong thing, and they’ve refused.
What sort of scumbag takes a child to the storming and subsequent arson of a hotel?
Child Protection need to have a word with this dad of the year in Rotherham.
If you’re trying to burn down a hotel housing people seeking asylum, then it’s no longer accurate to even use the word “riot” — it’s far right terrorism.
Just seen a parent holding a child looking out at the racist rioters at the Rotherham hotel. This man was throwing stones at the windows. Twitter do your thing - find him tell the police.
Funny how Suella Braverman called the almost 100% peaceful protest events for the people of #Gaza ‘hate marches’ but she seems to have absolutely nothing to say about violent English Nazi terrorism, some of which she legitimised.
A complete disgrace to politics and her country.
Do you recognise this man who #Looted Greggs causing damage to the building and robbed the premises during the #Riots. If you do please report to the #Police with their ID. Name and Shame @metpoliceuk
From a local Hull page on FB, the one with the fake cross was heard saying "it's like Christmas" let's make them famous so the police can do their thing @Humberbeat
This is exactly what the Nazis done to the Jewish business in Germany .
This is terrorism , anyone who tries to portray this as protest is a terrorist supporter.
I’m disgusted but not shocked that politicians the in U.K. who labelled 10 months of peace pro-Palestinian protests as hateful, dangerous and intimidating are yet to use the same language to describe the destructive violence we’ve witnessed over the last few days.
So yesterday far right racist rioters in Sunderland threw rocks & missiles at Filipino NHS nurses on their way to provide emergency cover at the hospital.
Your silence is deafening @Nigel_Farage & your band of inciters of racist hate.
Shame on you.

You put Suella Braverman in charge.
You called asylum seekers “illegal immigrants”, knowing they’re not.
You gave money, millions, to Rwanda instead of funding the processing of asylum applications.
You placated the far-right with ever more violent rhetoric.
You did this.
The three children who were murdered less than a week ago have now been totally forgotten by the media due to the actions of a few thousand far right supporters. It's heartbreaking.
