I sincerely hope to see this meagre tweet forming the sum basis of his defence at the International Court of Justice one day
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
Not even joking when I say they should name it the Peter Mandelson Was Best Friends With Jeffrey Epstein Party, it’s the only way to make it an unavoidable talking point
Insinuation of this quote is that there was a point when Hazarika looked at 50,000+ innocent civilians killed, including tens of thousands of children, entire cities flattened, filmed sexual violence against Palestinian prisoners and thought, “this hasn’t gone too far yet.”
Baroness Hazarika: ".... you look at whats happening now and I think war crimes are being committed now.. its gone too far now" People like Hazarika understand its gone too far to continue to be defended without personal cost #GMB
The media is safe to pretend to care about Gaza now that the dominant imagery has changed from kids being crushed and dismembered to kids who are starving and skeletal, because the West is already comfortably desensitised to that sort of thing.

You'd think it would've been the audio of Hind Rajab, or silhouette of the person burning with the drip attached, or the half a child on the fence, or the body with hands shackled flattened by a tank. But what prompts an expression of the horror is the Express giving permission

These things also do not exist in silos. The morality and behavior shown by governments openly financing and arming genocide are the same which inform domestic policy. Often weapons & tactics honed on Palestinians are brought back to target dissent by domestic police forces.
Hundreds of thousands of people are being starved to death
Hundreds of thousands of people are being starved to death

The arrogance, impunity, corruption, racism and callousness (at best, arguably more like murderousness) of our political class summed up in a single word. The unintended masterpiece of a much-feted "orator"

On Israel, the UK government is now to the right of the Daily Express
As long as I live, I will never forget the videos of Israelis destroying food in aid trucks to prevent it being delivered. I will never forget Keir Starmer saying Israel had the right to cut off water. I will never forget who they criminalised while we all watched their genocide.
"We've asked the Israeli government to think again" oh okay, fair play "We've told them their aid system isn't working" you mean the system of massacring people waiting for aid and then denying it altogether? Yes I could see how that might not work
Spoke to the Foreign Secretary this morning about the situation in Gaza - here's a brief clip...
When I see things like this, from people like this, at this stage, I assume they're expecting that things are about to spiral. They're not acting, they're making ass-covering statements. Why have they suddenly decided their ass needs cover?
Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law. Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long.…
Compare and contrast the media silence on this with the solid month of plaudits Hilary Benn got for standing up and saying “ISIS are very naughty, let’s bomb Syria”
Extraordinary scenes in the Commons tonight as Tory MP @kitmalthouse correctly accuses UK foreign secretary David Lammy of complicity in Israel’s crimes and warns him that he could end up in The Hague
Just hope I live long enough to see everyone who's even tacitly enabled this face justice tbh
Gaza hospital says 21 children dead from malnutrition in 72 hours as UN warns 'last lifelines collapsing' bbc.in/4f2fKOd
How it always goes: wars, austerity, entire election campaigns and governments, this genocide. Everyone who matters unites in the period where the horrors might yet be averted to ensure they aren’t, and that anyone who says they should be is stomped into the earth. Later: silence
Such overwhelming hate in my heart for people I know who had lots to say about October 7th and nothing now
