Look what happens when these empty suits are held to account. Lord Walney - former head of Labour Friends of Israel - can't even justify the existence of a proscription he has argued for. Excellent journalism from Isobel Yeung - the rest of the media should take note

The constant need for us to be on alert against racist violence and trauma is oppressive and it's doing so much damage to our nervous systems. From the "micro aggressions" to the physical and verbal abuse and protests against our existence.

“I think you need to really consider what inherent racism and dehumanisation you have in you.” Dr Tanya Haj-Hassan, a Canadian paediatrician who has spent time working on the ground in Gaza, responded to a German politician who questioned reports of famine and genocide.

Police are "overwhelmed by the numbers" Sky News says. Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride. They're not overwhelmed by the numbers. They're overwhelmed by the ratio of violent thugs.

26 Police Officers were injured at today's riots but only 9 people were arrested. Compare that with the peaceful Palestine Action protest where 0 Police Officers were injured but nearly 900 people were arrested. The Government has got Law Enforcement ridiculously wrong.

Interesting how they didn’t have no facial recognition at that protest yesterday. A convicted felon leading a March but it wasn’t needed… Meanwhile, Notting Hill carnival 🙃. Also, how do you claim to be patriotic but you’re beating up police officers 😩

Where is Keir Starmer? Where is the leadership? Fascists marched on our streets yesterday and he hasn’t said a single word. Instead the Prime Minister spends his time defending the “best pals” of paedophiles. He is a coward. He should resign.

Just 5 days ago, Keir Starmer welcomed Isaac Herzog into 10 Downing Street. Today, a UN Commission has found that: “Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, have incited the commission of genocide.” Genocide.

They all knew it was genocide. The entire time. Every Western government knew and provided cover and support. It is their genocide too. Nonetheless, it's good to have it certified in writing for when the day of reckoning is upon them.

I’m tired of people, from celebrities, to journalists, to the UN itself, finally solemnly declaring what was clear to everyone from the start. South Africa laid it all out before the ICJ in JANUARY 2024. What took the rest of you so long? Waited till deaths were in 100,000s??

“They don't have to wait for the ICJ decision. In fact, for me, the most significant aspect of the interim orders of 26 January 2024 was that every country in the world was put on notice by the ICJ that there was a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza. And if it had not happened

I don’t want to share the video. You’ve all seen it and one day soon I hope it will be shown at the trials of the evil monsters perpetrating this genocide. What I want to know is the girl’s name.
