I'll say it again. Our horror at the Gaza genocide and at the atrocity in Manchester comes in both cases from the same, inherent part of our shared humanity. We need to assert that shared humanity in the face of both these evils as loudly as possible, and in as many practical ways as we can.
NEW: Home secretary Shabana Mahmood urges pro-Palestine protesters to consider not taking part in marches this weekend.
"Imagine if you lost a loved one to a terror attack in this country ... sometimes a little unity, a little solidarity, some love to other people is required"

This is appalling as expected from a strategically, politically and ethically bankrupt Labour leadership
All Starmer offers is a slightly less extreme version of the far right which only ends up normalising its discourse, allowing it to set the agenda

“The belief that uncontrolled legal migration was nothing but good news for an economy should never have been accepted on the Left,” writes Starmer “fighting” populism. What does even mean “uncontrolled” in the case of legal migration? www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/f9444c6...
The Left ignored immigration fears for too long. It’s time to give communities back control
Only a plan for patriotic national renewal led by Labour will counter the rise of the populist Right

The Israeli government is perpetrating genocide on a massive scale right now. We have a responsibility to interrupt every effort to normalize this.

I only just found out that the Israeli bombing of Nasser hospital in Gaza was caught live on air. That’s because the rescue workers you see were responding to the first bombing. Israel waited for them to arrive to bomb the hospital again.

During the ongoing uprising, police ran down and killed someone. The whole thing erupted. During this, a queen stands up and fights the riot line on her own.
There is an active ongoing uprising, Anarchists are part of it. Give it your attention and solidarity.

A political-media class capable of colluding in genocide has *already proven* itself capable of the dehumanisation of Others that can sustain fascism at home. Aimé Césaire wasn't kidding about the imperial boomerang.
The Times editorial line: "sieve" the entire population so we can put 100s of thousands of people into camps.
"Removing a city’s worth of people would be an extended exercise. Identity cards would be a must if the population was to be sieved into legitimate and illegitimate camps"

When the fascists come for the licence fee and the BBC asks for our support I will suddenly be extremely busy. I don’t think another beautifully shot season of Planet Earth and Cambridge graduates guffawing in a Radio 4 play is adequate compensation for enabling fascism
