Rape fantasies underpin the obsession of far right men with migrant men.
But if you're holding a sign saying 'Free Palestine', that's terrorism.
It's those concerned mums & dads at The Bell Hotel in Epping again.
Amid US pressure, the legal arguments for including services in the Occupied Territories Bill are being teased out at the foreign affairs committee. The world is watching to see if it ends up as precedent-setting legislation or simply "window dressing” thecurrency.news/articles/19640…
The UK should immediately recognise Palestine, but there is also a great risk this becomes a way for London (and others) to say it 'did something'. The issue is not simply the recognition of Palestinian statehood - it's taking measures to force Israel to end the occupation.
NEW: Mayor of London @SadiqKhan backs calls for immediate UK recognition of Palestinian statehood. It’s a rapidly growing demand within the Labour Party which may prove harder and harder for Keir Starmer to resist.
Our colleague in Gaza describes a living hell, while EU leaders 'monitor progress' "We are not only dying from bombings. We are dying from hunger too. Hunger has destroyed homes, made the elderly weep like children, and made bread a dream."
"We are not weak - but the war has broken our bones, and the siege has hollowed out our stomachs" Read this moving account from an @Amnesty fieldworker in Gaza: amn.st/6017fylR7
This is one of those images you instantly know will appear in history books of the future. And people will wonder how we allowed this to happen.

Excellent letter from Glenn Fitzpatrick in @IrishTimes I’ve long thought that pol corrs focus too much on their take on the politics of an issue, and not on the substance or the wider public mood. We are told what we think and how we will react - and it’s often wildly inaccurate



Nike previously has cut the salaries of their athletes for having children. Sorry, actually they only cut the salaries of women when they had children.
Nike does it again 👏
Just read what’s outlined in these two sentences - horror and shocking brutality detailed in a few words… and this is accompanied by the utter despair felt in Gaza at the continuing impunity towards the forces carrying out these attacks
The last 24-hours in Gaza: @WFP reports that Israeli forces fired on thousands of people desperately approaching an aid convoy. @WHO premises in Deir al Balah attacked 3 times and some staff and family members were handcuffed, stripped, interrogated and screened at gunpoint.
Francesca Albanese calls for states to break Israel’s 🇮🇱 blockade of Gaza 🇵🇸: ‘Every Mediterranean state should use their navy to break the blockade and send humanitarian aid to Gaza 🇵🇸’ End the slaughter now Get aid into Gaza 🇵🇸 Free Palestine 🇵🇸 today.
You’re going to “rewrite the Good Friday Agreement” are you? No you are not.
For the first time, I’ve set out the plan for leaving the ECHR. To secure our borders, protect our veterans and restore sovereignty, we must rewrite the Belfast Agreement Pleased to have cross-party support for these proposals. The time to leave is now. Watch the film here 👇
"All doctors are Hamas because no doctor could work in Gaza without Hamas's approval" is out of the same lunatic stable as "All Catholics in Gaza support Hamas because otherwise they would not be allowed to practise their faith"
Killed by who? And how? Report facts for heavens sake.

My grandma on my mother’s side was separated from her family and hidden from the Nazis at age 4. She often went days without food and survived mostly on stale bread dipped in milk. My grandma on my father’s side spent months under siege in Jerusalem. She survived on bread dipped…
In Gaza, 1 kilo of flour costs $30. Babies wear plastic bags for diapers. No formula. No income. After 20 months under genocidal siege, food is scarce, unaffordable & people are starving to death. Here’s a list of verified fundraisers, pls help if you can: gazadirect.com
This is the end result of anti-trans bigotry: more harassment of girls and women, more policing of gender roles, more gender McCarthyism.
