I’m in Durham tonight to debate “Palestinian Leadership is the biggest barrier to peace” Only the University just caved in to a fascist mob and cancelled the debate at last minute Free speech died in Durham tonight! They’re afraid of hearing the truth @uklfi ⁦David Collier⁩

This is fucking amazing. The Russian Disinfo unit have tried to make a fake British newspaper headline, and rather than national newspaper the Daily Mail they’ve picked tiny local newspaper the HULL DAILY MAIL as the paper to spread their disinformation. Dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is the most comprehensive report yet written about the 7th October rape, mutilation and murder onslaught in Israel. A remarkable piece of scholarship and highly evidenced truth-telling. Warning: it makes for horrifying reading. 7octparliamentarycommission.co.uk

Note to news media: Hamas murdered the Bibas children with their BARE HANDS. Probably better *not* to accept as truth any media they send you or casualty figures they provide you with. Please try not to become one with monsters.
