It makes me wonder whether Prescott actually consulted the original source himself & doctored it or simply took dictation from someone else. A person, for example, who had helped insert a right-wing lobbyist who hadn’t done journalism for over 20 years into such a potentially important position…

This government respects violent racists more than peaceful protestors - how can they not see that this is destroying the country but also destroying them - I remain bamboozled by how they cannot see how they are alienating so many people and winning over no one - it is a bloody fever dream

Young refuseniks burn their IOF draft papers in the middle of Tel Aviv
They refuse to serve in the Israeli Occupation Forces, and are willing to go to military jail for their position. The new generation of refuseniks is supported by the older, many of them spent months in jail already

As the US edges closer to bombing Iran, Israel killed over 51 starving Palestinians at a so-called aid site today.
And the UK government says nothing. Still arming Israel. Still enabling genocide.
End all arms sales. Sanction Israeli war criminals. Stop being America’s poodle.
