"In Vietnam, I didn't want the US to win. I don't want the US to win in Iran. I'm not America First, I'm Justice First. If it were switched and the Palestinians were doing to the Israelis what the Israelis are doing to them, I'm not pro-Palestinian". —Professor Norman Finkelstein
@DrTedros@WHO@UN This is remarkable — a great example of leadership and humanitarian commitment from @DrTedros and @sanchezcastejon. I wish there were more leaders like them around; the world would be a much better place
I am disgusted by scenes of an Israeli Minister glorifying violence with the image of a noose on his lapel and his birthday cake. Celebrating executions is despicable. The Israeli Government must urgently repeal its discriminatory death penalty law.
The level of complicity of the @BBC in the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon is shocking. I am listening to their Jerusalem correspondent report that the ‘IDF are striking Hezbollah targets’ while I’m on the ground in the middle of it watching men, women and children being killed on a daily basis. My colleagues are being executed. Paramedics are being systematically murdered. All of this is happening in plain sight and the BBC correspondent here in Lebanon knows it.
May you all be put on trial for your deadly propaganda when the time comes. Shame on all of you, especially those on the ground who are too cowardly to speak out.
Great to meet Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez in Madrid. At a time when too many leaders are looking the other way, it matters that we stand together. We discussed Gaza, Europe & the shared values that unite London & Spain.
Progressive, internationalist politics is here to stay. 🇬🇧🇪🇸
Anyone who knows #Lebanon knows this song. It is the most iconic Lebanese resistance song, memorized by every Lebanese and Arab, performed by the legendary singer Julia Butros.
Watch this video and see how the audience sings with passion and pride, shouting every word, from children to the elderly.
Lyrics 👇
We refuse to die; tell them we will remain.
Your land, your homes, and the people who keep struggling.
Everyone, O South of Lebanon, has sold you empty words,
Justice is crucified, bleeding out peace.
We will remain here, even if the whole world fades away.
Not a grain of your soil will ever be lost, O South.
Don’t be afraid, O South, of time’s betrayal,
Of the horrors of war, of the pain of deprivation.
After all that has happened, after all that has happened,
This home will always be ours, and the laurel trees will return,
Blooming with dignity across your land, O South.

Nie uwierzycie. Przed chwilą Ministerstwo Spraw Zagranicznych Izraela i ambasada Izraela w Polsce wystosowały oczekiwanie do polskich władz, by zareagować na moje ostatnie wystąpienie. Zasugerowano, by pozbawić mnie mandatu posła. Rozumiecie? Ministerstwo Spraw Zagranicznych Izraela domaga się, by polskie władze zrobiły coś, bym nie zasiadał w ławach polskiego parlamentu.
To nie Izrael będzie decydować, kto może zasiadać w polskim parlamencie, a kto nie. Historia pokazała, do czego prowadzi nazizm - Polska wie o tym aż za dobrze. Dlatego nie jesteśmy i nie będziemy obojętni na powtórkę z historii, która właśnie się odbywa na Bliskim Wschodzie.
Mam nadzieję, że bezczelne kłamstwo o moim rzekomym „publicznym poparciu nazizmu” spotka się z odpowiednią reakcją polskich władz i wymiaru sprawiedliwości. A Izraelowi radzę, by zajął się prawdziwymi nazistami, których ma w swoim rządzie, na czele z premierem - zbrodniarzem i ludobójcą Benjaminem Netanjahu.
