I keep thinking how mahmood almost lost her seat (as a sitting MP with Labour backing/money) to an independent candidate with zero experience just because of her silence on Palestine so like girlie has misjudged this so badly if she thinks she’s getting reelected as a ladywood mp with these policies

“If Labour don’t do this, we’ll get a Reform government”
Trans people, disabled people, migrants, people of colour and people seeking asylum already have a Reform government.
You just want to feel superior to those who like the idea of Nigel Farage as PM.

Israeli's chief military prosecutor has been arrested and will likely face trial for "perverting the course of justice".
Over the past two years, she provided legal cover for numerous crimes against humanity in Gaza. All this didn't protect her when she pursued a single torture case.

Following the documented rape of a Palestinian prisoner in Sde Teyman, the military prosecutor ordered the arrest of the soldiers involved.
There was govt-supported riots trying to prevent their arrest. In response, she leaked the video evidence.
Now she has been removed by the Israeli govt.
