@QueerMajority@DANsplained0 It’s not homophobic to know that babies should never be separated from their mothers at birth, and that women should not be exploited by people wanting to pay them to have babies for them.
@BenedictSpence@JohnCleese Will he finally stand with, and support, British people when, in the not too distant future, they will have become the underdog in their own countries?
Bill Clinton: “The Palestinians were offered a state. They refused. A state wasn't their goal. Killing Jews was."
This must be shared every single day.
In the UK FGM is illegal, when Brits take their children abroad for FGM we are supposed to prosecute them
Why, when commercial surrogacy is illegal in the UK, are we not prosecuting Brits who buy babies abroad (often from desperate and poor women)? @AlexJJNorris@andyburnham

Alice Nderitu. Most people don't know that name.
I talk about her all the time. Why is she important? She was one of the world's preeminent experts on genocide.
She's a Kenyan woman, not a Jew, not married to a Jew, obviously not Israeli.
She rose in the ranks of international communities around the world because of her tremendous expertise in this field.
And she she reached the pinnacle of this field. She became the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Crime of Genocide and the Prevention of Genocide.
She became the world's preeminent and most prominent source on whether genocides were happening around the world and how to prevent them.
And she was adamant and clear that there was no genocide in Gaza, that it was the furthest thing from a genocide, that Israel spent tremendous amounts of money and effort and had an entire organization of its government devoted to preserving and protecting the lives of uninvolved Palestinian citizens.
And then what did Alice Nderitu get for telling the truth at the United Nations?
She was fired. Her contract was not renewed, and someone who would toe the party line was placed there in her stead.
And it's the fact that no one even knows her name that shows you what it looks like to lose an information war in the West.
Northern Irish actor Gerard McCarthy has withdrawn from a London theatre production because he was uncomfortable working alongside Dame Maureen Lipman, one of Britain’s most prominent Jewish actresses, over her outspoken support for Israel.
Let’s call this what it is: bigotry. Singling out a Jewish actress because she refuses to abandon Israel is discriminatory, intolerant, and exactly the kind of ideological exclusion that has no place in the arts.

No state-funded school should require girls as young as seven to cover their hair.
No school in Britain, of any faith and however it's funded, should be allowed to require girls of ANY age to cover their hair.
The hijab is a garment that is only required because apparently men cannot be trusted not to sexually lust after women - and young girls - unless they show "modesty".
That puts the responsibility for sexual assault onto the women and girls, not their male attackers.
How can anyone think this is okay?
