I wish people would stop caling Palestine Gaza.
I wish people would stop calling it a war, it's a genocide!
There is no war in Gaza.
There is a genocide in Palestine against the Palestinian people.
The aggressors are the zionist settlers who have stolen land that is NOT theirs!

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Removing asylum support. Seizing belongings. Deporting entire families, including children.
Labour are not just paving the path to a Reform government. Reform may as well already be in power.
This government has no moral compass — and it should be ashamed of its inhumanity.

Opposing genocide is the moral duty of our time.
Yet Palestine Action activists have been held in prison for over a year without trial. Six are now on hunger strike.
Detaining peaceful protesters under counter-terror powers is indefensible. This is political imprisonment in all but name.

It’s interesting how much the IDF’s constant ceasefire violations in Gaza and Lebanon line up with the way people familiar with Israeli culture say Israelis like to test everyone’s boundaries to find out exactly how much they can get away with.

In Gaza, we all want this ceasefire to hold, to save what remains of our home. Still, it does not take a genius to see that the ceasefire plan is nothing but a grotesque charade. #eiGazaDispatches
No end to genocide
The ceasefire agreement simply means that Israel is able to do whatever it wants.

Absolutely insane.
Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani.
Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo.
The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

Still can't wrap my head around the fact that internationally renowned activist Greta Thunberg said she was tortured and sexually humiliated by Israeli soldiers when she was abducted for trying to bring aid to starving civilians and the world just shrugged and moved on.
