Two leading human rights organisations based in Israel, B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights, say Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The two groups said Israel had targeted civilians in Gaza only because of their identity as Palestinians.

[Ali @MerruX]

@MosabAbuToha He talks about it here. Israeli Nazis murdered him because they wanted people to leave faster.

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

Unpopular view here: rather than threatening the gesture politics of recognising a Palestinian state (that may never happen) why doesn’t Keir Starmer begin with:
- expelling Israel’s ambassador
- full trade sanctions
- full arms embargo
- stopping alleged RAF Gaza flights

@jdportes @theAliceRoberts @TheDigVenturers @ljollerhead Great thanks going to check it out!

[Reyahn King @reyahn2]

It's been nearly a month since I last properly engaged with X - and it did feel good! But also some bits of news I still seem to find only here. Where are you all going to move to in the end? @jdportes @theAliceRoberts @TheDigVenturers @ljollerhead ?

@OYesWeAreStrong @SayeedaWarsi What we are accountable for our grandparents now?

Diane Abbott on her ‘romance’ with Jeremy Corbyn is hysterical.

@theAliceRoberts Might be people leaving... thinking of it and logging in much less often

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

Don't love this phrase 'anti-immigration protestors' used on the BBC just now. They're not really anti-immigration. It's not like they're targeting Canadians. They're racists. And these are not protests. They're attempted pogroms.

[Runnymede Trust @RunnymedeTrust]

With 80 anti-racist and migrant rights organisations, we've written to @Keir_Starmer asking for Parliament to be recalled to address the scale of this crisis.

The new govt must change the dial, and foster zero tolerance for far-right, racist and anti-migrant narratives.

[Reyahn King @reyahn2]

@MrAndyNgo This needs a community note: See @BBCNews for pub manager saying "The majority of the people that were on the march, the walk, they were lovely. They were apologetic, they've offered to pay for all the damages and it wasn't them"

[Omar Sakr @omarsakrpoet]

It’s just so heinous to see, after 10 months of hysteria from journalists and politicians about peaceful protests calling for ceasefire, those same journalists and politicians calling the racist rioters in the UK “protesters” whose concerns really need to be taken seriously.

[Reyahn King @reyahn2]

@RunnymedeTrust @BBC This is the mirror to the keen way in which @BBCNews and others swallowed the misinformed idea that actual protests about Gaza were inherently threatening

[George Aylett @GeorgeAylett]

Here’s the Labour MP for Tamworth talking about how residents of Tamworth ‘want their hotel back’ a few days ago.

Today, Nazis and fascists attacked the Holiday Inn in Tamworth.

Pandering to the far-right has consequences, @SarahEdwardsTam.

@Shrink_at_Large And if you make sickness less difficult - guess what, work might get easier for some

MYTH: Too many people are on benefits.

FACT: 'Almost half of those in the most materially deprived tenth of the population are disabled, but most don't receive disability benefits. This is a failure of our welfare system’
