Israel holds 3376 hostages - Palestinians held without charge. Of those more than 300 are CHILDREN. In total, Israel holds 10400 people who have no civil liberties courtesy of living in an apartheid state, under military occupation. Lest we forget! aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/26…

How do you say “we told you so” nicely, without screaming? Without upsetting the comfortable classes who told us we were wrong, or that we were over-dramatic, or scare-mongering, or plain mad? Who put some of the best people in the world in prison FOR BEING RIGHT? A thread 🧵1/12

Another one that hasn’t aged well. Is he going for some kind of record?
