The FBU is aware that pro-Palestine protesters are holding further demonstrations in Leicester.

Previously, firefighters have been asked to assist the police in removing protestors.

The FBU advises all members not to be involved in law enforcement activities.

POTUS, college administrators deploying snipers, GOPers out to strangle 'liberal universities,' actual fascists mobs--all on the same side, 'protecting Jews' by violently shutting down protests that include lots of Jews. Lunacy that cannot end well. prospect.org/politics/2024-…

'Witnessing militarised police being deployed to round up student protesters, many in the US and across the world may be wondering what the difference is between supposedly progressive, liberal government and authoritarian, reactionary leaders like Trump.' lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/may/…

In 2020, San Francisco Mayor London Breed texted the police chief to clear specific people in her line of sight. “Man sleeping on bench on Hayes st near gough,” one text declared. “Can someone come ASAP. I’m in the area having lunch.” newrepublic.com/article/181036…

So Macklemore's anti-genocide song is censored on YouTube.

What isn't censored: These two videos by Israeli artists where they celebrate genocide, and threaten to kill Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, and Mia Khalifa for their opposition to genocide.

These were also big hits

Let’s see:
- Blinken says the ceasefire deal is extraordinarily generous & says it’s up to Hamas to accept
- Hamas accepts
- Israel rejects. Orders Palestinians to leave eastern Rafah & then proceeds to bomb western Rafah
- bombing Rafah was the US “redline”
- US blames Hamas

UN: Operation in Rafah will be a tragedy beyond words

WHO: Incursion in Rafah will plunge crisis in Gaza to unprecedented levels

Doctors Without Borders: Nowhere in Gaza is safe

Human Rights Watch: Forcing displaced Palestinians out of Rafah is catastrophic

WSJ: Take Rafah

The Biden admin notified the Hill in an email that it wouldn't release the report today on Israel’s conduct in Gaza — and didn't give a clear reason why, Congress aides told us. politico.com/news/2024/05/0…

This is a very striking 'hockey stick' graph.

Reposting this thread in light of growing evidence that liberalism’s fate in our time is once again to forsake its own emancipatory promise, throw in its lot with order instead, containing the left and abetting the right openly or inadvertently.

Hamas was founded in 1987. So when the president says “ancient desires” to eliminate the Jews, he’s making a point about Arabs/Muslims as inherently and viscerally genocidal.

Biden says this while the Israelis, sponsored by him, have been non-stop slaughtering kids for months.

This morning, students at Columbia University picketed outside the homes of three trustees.

At two of the three locations, random harassers suckerpunched student picketers. At one, a car drove into a student. NYPD arrested the student, who’s now with EMS.

I feel like if a head of state started talking about Israel's 'ancient desires' to kill Palestinians there would be little trouble in identifying it as anti-semitism
