I just quit Labour after 24 years.
We deserve better than the race to the bottom between Labour and the Tories.
Labour want you to think there's no alternative. But there is.
Join it:
Theresa May didn't publicly break down over Windrush, or Grenfell, or disabled people having their benefits cut, or children driven into poverty.
In the end, she only publicly shed a tear over her own career.
If your heart is "broken" over graffiti on a replica copper and tin bell, rather than the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of people, then the only thing really broken is you.
In Gaza, Israel has destroyed
- churches dating back to the 5th century, mosques to the early 7th century
- every university
- museums
- cemeteries
- an ancient harbour
- libraries
- archives
And people are crying over a painting of the arch-racist Arthur Balfour.
Imagine Hamas stormed a hospital disguised as doctors, nurses, patients and civilian women, and executed three Israelis.
It would be front page news.
It would be offered up as evidence of their outrageous evil.
I doubt many media outlets will even cover this.
A dozen Israeli soldiers just stormed a hospital, disguised as doctors, nurses, patients, & veiled women & executed 3 Palestinians in Jenin - the West Bank.
The IDF has entire units whose specialty is to fight in urban spaces dressed as civilians, like the “Duvdevan unit 217”.
The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.
Netanyahu’s standing ovation in Congress will haunt the US for generations.
The world has seen the US political elite applaud a mass murderer - a genocidal butcher - and they are not going to forget it, or forgive it.
The BBC changed the headline because of your outrage.
Never stop fighting the dehumanisation of the Palestinian people as they are butchered with Western complicity.
Doing so is literally a matter of life and death.
What actually happened is the Israeli army set a dog on a Palestinian man with Down’s Syndrome, which savaged him.
They then left him to die of his injuries, and his decomposed body was later discovered by his relatives.
This headline is a disgusting travesty.
All the odds were stacked against Jeremy Corbyn.
He’s one of the only independents to win a competitive election in a general election since World War II.
He started his campaign late because of loyalty to his old party.
His constituency has a huge turnover.
Labour threw
“Found dead”.
When a Ukrainian baby was killed by a Russian strike, the BBC had no trouble attributing blame in its headline.
These aren’t even subtle double standards.
This mother kept trying to conceive a baby for eight years then after four months of the baby being born, Israel deprived her from her source of happiness, her baby boy Yasser.
One of million untold stories !!
#Gaza_Genocide
At the dawn of Shabbat, last Saturday, the whole world woke up in horror.
The terrorist attack by Hamas is an act of war. And we fully support Israel’s right to defend itself.
Europe stands with Israel in this tragedy.
My God.
You spend weeks researching Israeli crimes in detail, and yet still, South Africa's case at the ICJ shocks beyond words.
Those who cheered on this historic crime should be forced to watch it.
How they will ever scrub away the shame is beyond me.
Israel killed his wife, daughter, a son and grandson.
The next day Wael returned to work.
Israel killed his colleague and injured him.
The next day Wael returned to work.
Israel killed his other son.
The next day Wael returned to work.
One of the great men of our time.
Four major Western news outlets covering the story of Hind Rajab, *none* of them use the word “killed” or “Israel.”
This is not an accident, it’s a systematic effort to whitewash the crimes of Israel. And it’s complicity in those crimes.
This is wild.
Israel's official Twitter account has posted a picture of aid for Ukrainian refugees in Moldova in 2022, and pretended it's aid from Israel for Gaza.
The official state of Israel account has posted this video, saying it is facilitating aid into Gaza.
A short clip at the end of the video, claiming to show tents and shelter equipment for Gazans, was actually filmed in March 2022, showing tents in Moldova for Ukrainian refugees.
What actually happened is the Israeli army set a dog on a Palestinian man with Down’s Syndrome, which savaged him.
They then left him to die of his injuries, and his decomposed body was later discovered by his relatives.
This headline is a disgusting travesty.
Gaza is a 'textbook genocide'.
This is according to Raz Segal - an Israeli associate professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Stockton University in the US.
Listen carefully to what he says.
It's based on facts, law and precedent - and it should terrify you.
Dominic Cummings doing a televised press conference is completely ridiculous - advisors are never supposed to be the story, let alone address the nation - and confirms that he is essentially co-Prime Minister
🚨Painful‼️
After 9 days of staying under the rubble of their house targeted by the israeli forces, civil defense crews are able to save a CHLID alive in Al-Zaytoun neighborhood
#Gaza
city!
9 days of hunger, thirst and fear, as the video shows, the child's body, is a skeleton ‼️
Four Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli settlers on Wednesday.
At their funeral, Israeli settlers shot dead two mourners - a father and a son.
This should be called what it is - terrorism.
It won't be, because the perpetrators aren't Palestinian.
BREAKING: The Palestinian health ministry says that Israeli settlers have killed two Palestinians in the West Bank.
They were reportedly shot whilst attending the funeral of four Palestinians who were killed by armed settlers on Wednesday.

Why should we 'respect' Donald Trump, a man who wants to grab women by their genitals and ban Muslims from the United States, separates kids from their parents, and wages war on the earth's endangered climate?
Imagine if Hamas militants repeatedly filmed themselves playing with the toys of Israeli children they had killed, maimed, driven from their homes and traumatised.
It would be front and centre in the evidence of how monstrous they are.
I’m so, so sorry guys. Just utterly devastating. Brexit just smashed us. Keeping together an electoral coalition of Remainers and Leavers as the country bitterly divided just became impossible.
Dressing up as medical staff to kill injured and unarmed suspects in a hospital - with no judicial process - isn’t just a war crime.
It’s several war crimes.
Declaring “well Hamas would have done even worse war crimes!!” doesn’t save you from the charge of moral depravity.
If Hamas stormed hospitals they would kill everyone indiscriminately. When the IDF stormed a hospital they went to a specific room to kill three particularly bad guys. Thank you for the opportunity to draw a comparison.
I've read South Africa's case alleging genocide against Israel.
It is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.
It feels like you're reading a gruesome historical document about how a genocide was allowed to happen, then you realise this is now.
When nearly a thousand people were dying a day in Italy, our media rightly portrayed it as a horror show, a national catastrophe. 938 people are reported dead in Britain in a 24 hour period, and most of media are telling us the good news that the government's strategy is working.
🚨Twitter deleted the post, so reposting to expose Israeli army crimes!
Last video of kids martyrs of Husouna family massacre
They fled from Gaza to Rafah in search of safety, escaping shelling
Israeli army killed them inside their tent along with all family members last night !
Julia Hartley-Brewer deleted her tweet in which she spat out “autistic” as an insult, but the internet never forgets.
Just like Tate, it must really rile Hartley-Brewer that this 19 year old autistic woman has achieved so much, and isn’t just some vile right wing shock jock.
Don’t look away: this is happening in your name.
If this was the consequence of a Russian bomb in Ukraine, there would rightly be fury and fiery denunciations.
But these are Palestinians, victims of a Western ally, so there will barely be a murmur.
Boris Johnson described gay people as "bumboys", compared equal marriage to three men marrying a dog, discussed beating up a journalist with a criminal, called black people "piccaninnies" with "watermelon smiles", and was sacked twice for dishonesty.
Where is the scrutiny?
So in summary, there is now a massive transphobic hate campaign against an Olympic boxers who is not trans, and who has been defeated by other women in other fights.
Just incredible stuff.
Oh. My. God. Jeremy Corbyn is holding a press conference revealing 400 pages of unredacted documents exposing the NHS is on the table in US trade talks
The fact a 23 year old British Palestinian woman ran an independent campaign which nearly unseated one of Labour's biggest stars is frankly phenomenal.
Yesterday we stood against the two-party nightmare and nearly won, falling short by only 528 votes, I received 15,119 and the Labour Party’s Wes Streeting 15,647. He had all the money and party machinery behind him. We built a beautiful people-powered movement.
To stay updated
The Sun is a disgusting rag and they have to pay for what they’ve done to Huw Edwards.
They tried to destroy someone’s life with false claims of illegality involving a minor.
We know now there was no criminality, and The Sun have driven a vulnerable man into medical care.
The International Criminal Court has just issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leaders.
Israel's leadership is charged with
- Starvation
- Causing great suffering
- Wilful killing / murder
- Directing attacks against a
A Israeli soldiers used a humanitarian aid truck & a civilian car to sneak into central Gaza & execute today's operation that butchered over 215 Gazans & released 4 hostages.
They then escaped through Biden's "humanitarian pier", knowing it won't be targeted by Hamas🧵
In every single interview I do with the international media they ask me about the picture I can’t forget
This is the picture I will never forget how my heart beats went from zero to hundred in less than a second
I couldn’t even put my eye through the viewfinder of my camera, I
You are witnessing one of the great crimes of our age, like the ones you've read in history books.
Those responsible for this crime are not even trying to hide it.
If you are silent, you cannot later claim ignorance.
You knew what was happening, and you chose to ignore it.
PS. The zip-tie means he was first detained by the IDF (& likely tortured) before they crushed him
He was driven over from his legs up, meaning he may have been alive & feeling his body being crushed inch by inch
1000s of Israelis are celebrating & rejoicing this pure savagery!
The Israeli state deliberately incited a war with Iran because
- its onslaught against Gaza is failing on its own terms
- global public opinion has swung decisively against Israel
- the Biden administration is under pressure
- Netanyahu faces jail when war ends
Gleefully posing on the bicycles of little kids who are likely to have had their homes bombed, who will certainly be traumatised, who may be maimed, who may be slaughtered.
It’s depraved behaviour, and it screams “We can get away with anything”
953 deaths have been reported in the last 24 hours, the highest, grimmest total yet: the highest single day toll in Spain was 950, in Italy, 919. This is absolutely horrific, a national catastrophe, and yet most of the media still isn't asking the government tough questions. Why?
There is "no evidence" in Israel's dossier for UNRWA staff being involved in 7th October attacks.
That's according to Channel 4 News, who have seen the dossier.
So Western governments ended their funding during a humanitarian catastrophe without even any evidence.
I’ve just watched a video of a Palestinian man holding a child’s lifeless body, the boy’s skull entirely hollowed out, just a face remaining.
At this point, it’s not the twisted freaks still supporting this who should make us angriest.
It’s those who are still silent,
🚨Israeli soldiers using UN classrooms & civilian homes to hide & shoot at Palestinians in Gaza (precisely what they always accuse Hamas of doing).
This clip was documented & posted by the IDF itself b/c they know there'd be ZERO consequences no matter what they do!
If you are a middle-class professional who has a cleaner, you should be paying them their wages as normal and letting them stay at home. If you ask them to come and clean your home, you are a monumentally selfish person and that's really all there is to it.
Without social media, the scale and depravity of Israel's genocidal onslaught would have remained hidden.
This is a damning indictment of mainstream media outlets.
There you have it.
Israel's president Isaac Herzog makes the Israeli state's official position abundantly clear: that the Palestinian civilian population have collective guilt.
This is the mentality which, throughout history, leads to genocide.
There is now overwhelming evidence of rape and sexual assault of Palestinians by Israeli forces in Gaza, and of sexual abuse of Palestinian kids in the West Bank.
Notice the deafening silence on this.
Why?
Because they don’t see Palestinian women and kids as humans.
The bile thrown at Greta Thunberg is motivated by one thing alone: this incredibly intelligent, eloquent and compassionate 16 year old has terrified some of the most hateful and reactionary so-called "grown ups" on earth. She's achieved more aged 16 than they ever will.
When haters go after your looks and differences, it means they have nowhere left to go. And then you know you’re winning!
I have Aspergers and that means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm. And - given the right circumstances- being different is a superpower.
