🇬🇷 Dear British Museum, please return all the stolen Parthenon sculptures and this beautiful Caryatid back to their home in Athens, #Greece . Thank you on behalf of over 20 million Greek people worldwide. I think it’s time that we received what is ours! I am asking for help in spreading the news!

It’s not about who’s land it is

Or who was there first.

It’s about what the world thinks is acceptable in conflict:

Starving citizens?

Destroying hospitals and schools?

Torturing prisoners?

Occupying land that isn’t yours?

It’s about enforcing civilisation’s limits!

The russians are destroying the entire infrastructure of Ukraine while Europe watches.

The moment of the explosion at the Kurakhiv dam, the mass media publish.

Yesterday, water from the Kurakhiv Reservoir filled the Vovcha River in the direction of the villages of Bogatyr, Andriivka and Oleksiivka. The local authorities assure that Kurakhovo is not threatened by water, and most of the civilians from the villages in the affected area were evacuated in advance.

Today, we pause to remember that there are no levels of hypocrisy beyond the reach of our politicians, and no limit to the number of ironic posts about freedom and democracy from people who've spent a year supporting a genocide.

Today entering Gaza City. The ruins of life. A donkey laying dead attached to a cart with someone’s possessions. Clusters of people crossing to the South, with too much to walk with under the sun and given the length of the journey. A man carrying a white flag in front of his family. Women about to collapse, dragging bags over the ground, walking backwards, stopping and closing their eyes. A man on the ground in underwear, with soldiers near the checkpoint. A woman presumably crossing with him, stalled, distraught, in desperation. They passed by these ruins. #Gaza #CeasefireNOW

I am starting to think Israel overplayed its hand with the "Amsterdam pogrom" story. Yes, the uptake among politicians was swift and strong, but the people's backlash once they realized the stories were false was incredibly damaging to Israel's credibility and that of the media.

NEW: Queen Elizabeth II thought Boris Johnson "better suited to the stage" than politics and two days before her death, after he resigned, she told a senior courtier in jest: "At least that idiot won't be organising my funeral." 1/ https://t.co/VoXvjib8BN

interesting to see how the average voter responds to direct action designed to stop farming families pay any tax on their first £3m of inheritance

(and even then at half the rate of everyone else)

Football hooligans get a greater outpouring of support from world leaders than these dead women and children…

Massive motorcycle rally to support the Palestinian people of Gaza staged in Amsterdam — there is NO DOUBT which side the Dutch people are on

[Mouin Rabbani @MouinRabbani]

It is against this background, and also that of the long- and well-established reputation of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s fanbase for uninhibited genocidal racism, that pro-Palestinian activists sought to have the Ajax-Maccabi Tel Aviv fixture of 7 November cancelled. When they predictably failed, the activists announced they would be holding a protest at the Ajax stadium, the Johan Cruijff ArenA, on the day of the game. Just as predictably, this too was rejected by the Amsterdam municipality and police, who ordered the activists to hold their protest at a location some distance from the stadium. The activists complied, and their demonstration passed without incident.

[Mouin Rabbani @MouinRabbani]

On each occasion FIFA and UEFA have rejected the PFA’s and Red Card Israeli Racism campaign’s demands on the grounds that sport and politics should not mix. On the same principle, namely that sports and politics must be strictly separated, teams and players who engage in gestures of solidarity with the Palestinians, or display symbols such as the Palestinian flag, have been fined and punished.

[Mouin Rabbani @MouinRabbani]

Glasgow Celtic, which strongly identifies with the Palestinian cause, is in this respect the most notable example. In 2014 it was fined GBP 16,000 after fans raised the Palestinian flag during a Champions League qualifier against KR Reykjavik of Iceland. In 2022 it was fined GBP 8,619 after fans displayed hundreds of Palestinian flags during a match against Israel’s Hapoel Be’ersheva. In the latter case Celtic supporters responded by raising not only the full amount of the fine, but also a six-figure sum that was promptly disbursed to various Palestinian charities.

Banksy knows what the world thinks of Trump.

[Clive Wismayer 🇪🇺🥪 @CliveWismayer]

This kind of hysterical, unbalanced crap from the UK’s foreign secretary almost tempts me to give credence to the idea that jews control the world. Not just Lammy, whose calibration needs a reset, but others like the Dutch king.

Israeli fans’ behaviour is nowhere to be seen.
