Extraordinary that @BBCNewsnight let David Frum George Bush’s speechwriter and Iraq war supporter conflate #AIPAC with #Jews to attack @ZohranKMamdani, with zero pushback. How does such a serious conflation go unchallenged on national TV?

The Israeli Premier League between Maccabi and Hapoel Tel Aviv was cancelled by police after "violent riots" before kick-off. Israeli police itself cancelled a match of Maccabi Tel Aviv, these are the ones our PM is saying are welcome to Birmingham.

A very thorough and detailed analysis of the causal factors and impact of community tensions. Important that the recommendations are reviewed and considered seriously.
Debunked!!
INSIGHT UK misinterpreted the recent court judgement (Muhammed Hegab vs The Spectator Ltd & Douglas Murray) in an attempt to discredit the @UKIMCouncil and @PolicyCommunity report on the Leicester unrest.
🔹 Firstly, the judge has not seen the report, which is being officially launched this evening (6 August 2025)! Look out for it! And thank you INSIGHT UK for the plug in ;)
How can the judge refer to the UK-IMC report that was not even released at the time of court case without seeing it or examining its methodology?
The issuance of public consultation by the UK govt on ‘Anti-Muslim hatred,’ definition is a deliberate deflection. StriveUK believes that the govt’s refusal of the APPG definition of Islamophobia is yet another attempt to marginalise Muslim voices. We must resist it with clarity.
Every attempt to silence us only strengthens our resolve.
We will not stop — until every system of apartheid, every engine of genocide, and every structure of settler colonialism is dismantled, and justice — long denied — finally takes its place.

I’m free! I wrote this on the plane and I’m posting it just after landing at Istanbul. On Monday evening I was brought to Zurich airport in handcuffs, in a small metal cage inside a windowless prison van and led all the way to the plane by police. This is after three days and two nights in a Swiss prison cut off from communication with the outside world, in a cell 24 hours a day with one cell mate, not even permitted to contact my family. On Saturday in a police interview in the presence of my lawyer they accused me of “offending against Swiss law” without ever telling me what crime I had committed in Switzerland or listing any charges. As far as I know I have not been charged with any crime whatsoever and I was held in “administrative detention.” On Sunday morning, they took me from my cell for questioning by Swiss defense ministry intelligence agents without the presence of my lawyer, and they again refused to allow me to contact her or my family. I refused to talk to them without my lawyer and told them take me back to my cell. During my imprisonment I refused every meal and every cup of coffee or tea they offered me except the last meal, after I knew I would be going home. I accepted only water, which is the right of every human being. All of this was after I was abducted off the street around 1:30pm on Saturday while on my way to the Palestine teach-in by undercover agents, handcuffed, forced into an unmarked car and sped straight to the prison. My “crime”? Being a journalist who speaks up for Palestine and against Israel’s genocide and settler-colonial savagery and those who aid and abet it. I came to Switzerland at the invitation of Swiss citizens to talk about justice for Palestine, to talk about accountability for a genocide in which Switzerland too is complicit. But while I was hauled off to prison like a dangerous criminal before I even had a chance to say a word, the Israeli president Isaac Herzog, who declared at the start of the genocide that there are no civilians in Gaza, no innocents, received a red carpet welcome in Davos, a carpet soaked in the blood of the more than 47,000 known victims of the genocide and the thousands more still under the rubble, or who died of deliberately inflicted starvation and denial of medical care. And on this very day Netanyahu freely travels to Poland to make a mockery of the Auschwitz commemoration despite an outstanding ICC arrest warrant. That is the perverse, unjust world we live in. This ordeal lasted three days but that taste of prison was more than enough to leave me in even greater awe of the Palestinian heroes who endure months and years in the prisons of the genocidal oppressor. More than ever I know that the debt we owe them is one we can never repay and all of them must be free and they must remain our focus. The police gave me my phone back only at the gate of the plane so I’m only seeing now the extent of the overwhelming support and solidarity from all over the world. I’m deeply grateful to each and every person who stood up for me. I’m especially grateful to my lawyer Dina Raewel and her team, to our friends in Zurich who I learned afterwards demonstrated outside the prison, to my family and my colleagues at EI and so many others. I honestly had no idea what was happening outside that concrete room! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I want to tell the whole story of what happened, perhaps in an @intifada livestream in the next day or two, because I think it’s important for people to know the depths to which their Western so-called “democracies” have sunk in the abject service of genocidal Zionism. Right now I’m glad to be on my way home. I’m looking forward to hugging my mom and dad, taking a shower and sleeping in my own bed. Journalism is not a crime! Speaking out for Palestine is not a crime! Standing against racist genocidal Zionism is not a crime! Say it with me:
From the River to the Sea Palestine Will Be Free! ❤️🇵🇸✌️
We have written to @metpoliceuk@MetCC Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley, calling out the double standards in policing pro-Palestine protests.
While restrictions on marches are boasted about to the Board of Deputies, Muslim and pro-Palestine groups are ignored.
Read our response:
“I am at ease. Relieved. Happy for everything I have done for Gaza. … I wanted to live more, but Allah wanted me as a martyr.”
Journalist Ahmed Abu Al-Rous recorded this message in case of his death. Today, it’s being shared after Israeli forces killed him and three others in a targeted strike on his vehicle in the Nuseirat refugee camp, central Gaza. Just yesterday, he shared a hopeful message about new life after a ceasefire. That clip is in the post below.
At least three Muslim youth were allegedly killed by Uttar Pradesh Police during a police action against a group of Muslims protesting a survey team that visited the Shahi Jama Masjid on Sunday.
The killed have been identified as Naved, Naeem (28), and Mohd Bilal Ansari (25).

Our platform, where the most marginalised share their stories, was shadow-banned for years.

The most telling reality regarding the recent events in Amsterdam is that not one member of the Dutch power elite - neither its monarch, nor its prime minister, nor its government or any of its ministers, nor any party leader, nor the mayor of Amsterdam, nor its police chief, nor any of its leading journalists or commentators or public figures or civic institutions - has uttered a single word in support of a single Dutch citizen assaulted by foreign mobs on Dutch soil.
Rather, like other Western leaders, this elite has uniformly reserved its solidarity for the racist, genocidal Israeli thugs who rampaged through Amsterdam, physically assaulting Dutch citizens and vandalizing Dutch property, on the sole basis that they assumed these citizens and properties to be Arab or in sympathy with the Palestinian people.
The self-proclaimed guardians of The Netherlands and the security of its people then added insult to injury by comparing the resulting attacks against the visiting fascist thugs to the darkest days of Dutch history, entirely oblivious to the reality that it is in fact they who have collectively legitimized the closest thing to a pogrom witnessed on Dutch soil since 1945.
Welcome to twenty-first century Europe, and to The Netherlands in particular.

Early this evening, Israel killed, or more accurately assassinated, my sister Dr. Soma Baroud, by bombing her taxi in the Khan Yunis area, killing her and six other innocent people.
She was the kindest soul, a great mother and a most loving sister.
She was a member of a generation of female doctors that revolutionized medicine in the Strip.
She healed many people, never charged the poor and until the last day of her life remained principled, loving, kind and patient, even when Israel blew up her house a few weeks ago.
I don’t know what else to say, aside from the fact that I suddenly feel as if a child who became orphaned all over again.
She was a leader of our family, and fulfilled the role of our mother who died at a young age.
I am sorry, sister, that I could do nothing to protect you.
I feel deep shame that I live in the very country that paid for and made the bombs that killed you.
When the numbness is gone, I will try to stay strong only driven by the hope that we will meet again in Paradise.
