Woman simply explains why Shamima Begum should not be allowed back in the UK:

The genocide of Palestinians is changing something inside of me. I don't know what it is. I don't have the words for it. It's probably just sorrow welling up but it's changing me. I don't think I was under any illusions yet I'll never look at so many things the same way again.

This might be the best explanation I heard for "why Oct 7" and, surprisingly, it comes from Ami Ayalon, former head of the Shin Bet, Israel's secret service, and commander-in-chief of the Navy. Here what he says (this is the first video, there are a couple more below which

I always feel awful for the elves. You took the job 80 years ago to make some whimsical rocking horses, 4 parts tops. And now you're soldering an iPad motherboard with your arthritic, cinnamon-scented hands. A brutal gig.

Apparently it is bad for your career to say you are opposed to genocide. But fuck it. I am opposed to genocide. I am opposed to apartheid. I am opposed to children having limbs amputated without anesthesia. You absolute fucks

I'm creating an "OnlyDans," where Dans get together to complain about being called "Dan the man, Daniel-san" and "Danny Boy" our whole lives.

In the last few weeks we've heard statements from senior Ministers in the Israeli Government calling for the resettlement of the population of Gaza, and for Israeli settlements to be established in Gaza. That is the textbook definition of ethnic cleansing and must be called out.

The BBC's reporting on Gaza – or rather lack of it – is beyond parody. Tonight's News at 10 featured reporter Wyre Davies finding yet another excuse for the BBC to return at length to the fall-out for Israelis from the three-month-old events of October 7, followed by him gravely

Today's editorial in Haaretz, Israel's New York Times, reiterates the demand of Israeli families whose loved ones were killed in Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7 to investigate the events of that day – and mounting evidence that the Israeli military fired a tank shell into the house

11 January 2023 - ICJ, The Hague Watching African women & men fighting to save humanity & the int'l legal system against the ruthless attacks supported/enabled by most of the West will remain one of the defining images of our time. This will make history whatever happens.

The empire has never been more exposed. The media has never been more exposed. The door is now ajar. We have to kick it in.

Remember, none of this would have been possible had it not been for all the journalists who have risked and lost their lives documenting every war crime committed. This is thanks to Motaz, Wael, Plestia, Hind, Bisan, Ismail, and all other journalist in Palestine. Our heroes.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s trial received more coverage, than the charges brought against Israel today in the ICJ for committing genocide.

Rule Britannia isn't a patriotic song. It's a reminder of how we used to brag about our position at the top of the slavery food chain. It's a point of shame, and a distraction from the real change the people of the UK need. #GMB

This should be getting *way* more news coverage. Just a month into the war, the Foreign Office had "serious concerns" about Israel's compliance with international law, but government ministers hid this fact from the public. I spoke about these revelations in Parliament today:

The key lesson of the Trump victory for us is that Labour has to deliver the significant improvement in quality of life that people can feel or we face the rise of right wing populism that has swept America. Half measures won’t be enough.
