The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
Today marks 3 years since Imran Khan was unjustly incarcerated.
He is still being denied basic human rights and remains in solitary confinement.
His abominable treatment is an affront to democracy. I will continue to demand the release of all political prisoners, everywhere.
Imagine these were two blindfolded Israeli women.
Imagine Hamas militants had taken this picture.
Imagine those women had then disappeared.
Imagine the deafening outrage and denunciations of Hamas’ evil.
So where is the deafening outrage here?
I have referred Sky News and GMB to Ofcom over disgraceful and baseless smears that have been made about me.
There is nothing antisemitic about supporting the people of Palestine.
I will continue to speak out against racism, apartheid and genocide.

"Israel wants to live in peace with its neighbours" is the biggest lie of all time.
This is the West Bank.
No Hamas, no war, yet attacked like this daily by "settlers" backed by the IDF.
A savagely violent Jewish supremacy armed by the EU/UK/US
Just as I was addressing the American people, the head of our Strategic Council on Foreign Policy was targeted in an assassination attempt, leading to the martyrdom of his innocent wife. Let the world judge; which side engages in dialogue and negotiation, and which in terrorism?
El Gobierno de España condena la pena de muerte contra palestinos que acaba de aprobar el parlamento de Israel. Se trata de una medida asimétrica que no se aplicaría a los israelíes que cometieran los mismos delitos.
Mismo crimen, distinta pena.
Eso no es justicia. Es un paso más hacia el apartheid.
El mundo no puede callar.
Israel has just killed Lebanese journalist Fatima Ftouni. I am honoured to have known her.
Just at the beginning of the month she reported on Israel killing seven members of her own family live on air.
