At this critical moment, former Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy shreds US hypocrisy over pretending to avoid undermining ceasefire talks they've actually been undermining from the beginning.

Sadly, BBC & most other UK media follow the US line favoured by their ally Israel. It's not new, as long-standing campaigners for justice for Palestine can testify. It's shocking to see it happening now, with ethnic cleansing staring us in the face. It needs contesting!

There is no bigger insult to victims of the Nazi genocide than to exploit their memory in the service of the current Israeli genocide. I say that as a descendant of Nazi victims.

You can’t engage in Holocaust remembrance while waging mass murder.

This is horrendous from Thornberry. She is saying NOW that Israel was justified in cutting off power to Gaza after Oct 7. Supporting collective punishment in plain English. What a monstrous entity Starmer's Labour has become.

The assault on Rafah is another utterly despicable war crime.

As bombs rain down on a trapped and terrified population, we implore our government to find an ounce of humanity and end its complicity in this senseless massacre.

Wake up. This is not war. This is genocide.

Much thanks for replies expressing hope that olly alexander will withraw from Eurovision Song Contest & join movement giving hope to Palestinian victims of Israeli ethnic cleansing. Pity about trolls who react with abuse. How childish.

A hearty 'hear, hear' from me! Or even 'here, here'. Subject for an episode of Word of Mouth maybe? Happy Birthday Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓

We are witnessing a clear escalation of Israel's disregard for civilian life and international law.

The Minister said the Govt is doing everything it can but I don't agree.

We need an immediate ceasefire but also stringent sanctions on Israel.

Where is our humanity?

Bravo Ash Sarkar

A big step forward!! 💥👏👏
NUS accepts Shaima Dallali , as a private individual and as president of NUS, was entitled to hold protected pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist beliefs. She suffered 'truly horrific abuse' which is 'wholly unacceptable.'

More and more students are refusing to be silenced. Their demands for an arms trade embargo and divestment from apartheid Israel are spreading. See this from Utrecht in the Netherlands.

Diaspora leaders often complain of insensitive or offensive remarks made on (UK) Holocaust Memorial Day; how should we then understand the Israeli army spending Yom Hashoah, the Israeli day for remembering the Holocaust, dropping leaflets ordering Palestinians to evacuate Rafah?

Large Jewish organizations boycotted a meeting with US education secretary because progressive Jewish groups would be present jta.org/2024/05/03/pol…
They are desperate to avoid any challenge to their lie that there is no diversity in the views of US Jews

Already, blame being placed on Hamas for failure to reach a ceasefire agreement.

Seriously? When Israel have made clear over recent days they’ll assault Rafah irrespective of a deal? What kind of a deal is that?

Yet again, Netanyahu determined to make this a forever war.

Students all over UK is our hope. You can stop this genocide.

The assault on Rafah is genocide in action. Political leaders in the UK must call this for what it is, it’s a war crime. International action is needed to halt the attack. We need an urgent vote in Parliament to end the UK’s complicity in this & to end the arms sales to Israel

I'm a Jewish person who is deputy leader of a national party.

I'm also a Jewish person who criticises the Israeli governments actions *because* of my Judaism not in spite of it.

Never again means never again for everyone. The conflation & politicisation must stop.

Brilliant pro-Palestinian parody of Dutch Eurovision Song Contest entry. (With English subtitles!)

I understand olly alexander is suffering from pressure to pull out of Eurovision. Choosing to take the right path can be tough. But I think he knows the answer. It's not too late to show solidarity with people facing physical & cultural obliteration.

'If you're watching this pre-recorded report, then Al Jazeera has been banned in the territory of Israel.' Imran Khan, anticipating the banning of Al Jazeera, pre-recorded what will be his final report from East Jerusalem.
