Funny how history repeats itself. Today, those who speak up against what the UN has defined as genocide inflicted on Palestinians are attacked and silenced.

Can i ask which MP? The only other one I’m aware of is Zarah Sultana and she seems to have consistently voted for socially progressive policies,

Is that right? Coming from Corbyn or someone else? Up to now I’ve always thought Corbyns respect for others was one oh his strengths.

Framing Palestine as ineligible for recognition because it “lacks population, territory, or government” eerily echoes the old colonial trope: a land without a people for a people without a land. It denies political existence by pointing to the very conditions produced by occupation.

Also historical context: recognition is a political act, not a legal certification. Israel didn’t meet the Montevideo criteria in 1948 either, yet the US recognised it within 11 minutes. Suggesting the UK would “break international law” by recognising Palestine misrepresents how recognition works.

Freedland now decries Gaza’s famine, but his earlier piece helped discredit those trying to stop it. He lumped Tom Fletcher’s alarm with Netanyahu’s war rhetoric. That false symmetry dulled urgency. Now he echoes their warnings, too late. It reads like a fig leaf for his own complicity.

Diane’s faced a lot of racism, I recall reading she’s had more racist abuse than any other MP. Wouldn’t that shape how she sees things? It doesn’t make her immune to criticism, but her experience shouldn’t be dismissed.

Hard truth: Black people in the UK still face the most racism. I’m Pakistani and I’ve seen it, more abuse aimed at Black people than others. Diane Abbott gets more racist hate than any MP. Surely she’s allowed to speak from her own experience.

This comment seems either deeply stupid or maliciously misleading
“wrong to suggest that 14,000 babies would die … because that warning applied to what would happen if the state of siege was maintained not for another 48 hours, but for a full year.”
A baby can’t survive a full year without food.
