My parents were murdered on October 7th, and if anyone is slapping us in the face, it's people like you, who for the past 20 years have failed to prevent violence and bloodshed in Israel-Palestine, whilst making inflammatory remarks. Your administration could stop the warโฆ
The United States strongly rejects @EmmanuelMacronโs plan to recognize a Palestinian stateย at the @UN general assembly. This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims ofย October 7th.
"Actual Jews, with their diverse and complicated relationships to Israel, know that in this context, the word โZionistโ targets them" writes @DavidHirsh asking if mainstream antisemitism has become irreversible thejc.com/opinion/in-theโฆ
Stop the starvation, stop the killing, stop the war. Use your pen, your keyboard, your body, be a voice for the starving children in Gaza, use any contact you have in the international community. Do not be silent.
Gaza is starving, and yes - Israel is responsible haaretz.com/opinion/editorโฆ
Today: Protest in front of the Jerusalem film festival against the genocide in Gaza. Activists blocked the road holding signs reading: "Starvation is a war crime."
Oh wow: now it's called 'Labour's genocide in Gaza'!! @AfzalKhanMCR just look at the Frankenstein you've raised. She started to break free more or less at the same time when you saw sense and stopped calling it 'genocide'.
Proud to join the Independent Alliance, now a bigger group in Parliament than Reform. From fighting the two-child benefit cap, cuts to winter fuel & disability benefits, to opposing Labourโs genocide in Gaza, we will stand up against injustice. Join us: yourparty.uk
Not at all. It isolated Islamist terrorists by giving the Palestinian Authority responsibility and holding it to account on issues of security and upholding international law including recognition of Israel.
Recognising Palestine as a state is a gift to Islamist terrorists everywhere. It legitimises Jew-killers. It is pure cowardice and it will do nothing for lasting peace in the region
I have written to @Duncanivison to demand immediate and full compliance with @ICOnews instruction to provide full disclosure of data held on me by @OfficialUoM HR Manager Catherine Tann (whose conduct was already criticised by the Judiciary in connection with another case).
This new party is mobilising the antisemitism that has become mainstream in the UK over the past year; its rapid growth within a day is scary.
Not even a day has passed & โผ๏ธ200,000โผ๏ธ people have signed up to build something special. From Farage to Starmer, the political establishment smears people of conscience trying to stop a genocide in Gaza as terrorists. We say: not in our name. Join us: yourparty.uk
Recognising a Palestinian state is a must. It will put Palestinian society to a test: can its government function, define its borders, and assume responsibility for border security and peaceful relations with its neighbour.
Recognising a Palestinian state at this stage is a giant middle finger to Israel. No defined borders. No capital. No functioning government. This isnโt a step towards peace, itโs a performative gesture that legitimises Palestinianism and its genocidal Jew-hatred.
The UK should recognise a State of Palestine. That would clearly demarcate pro-Palestine protests from Hamas, force the Palestinian Authority to accountability and force both sides, Palestine and Israel, to negotiate a permanent settlement based on mutual recognition.
The facts of the incident are far from clear. There are reports of disruption to the plane and to pre take off procedures. Letโs not inflate calling out antisemitism.
Spanish airline @vueling forcibly removed the director of a Jewish summer camp and 50 French Jewish children from a flight because "Israel is terrorist state". A prime example of how anti-Zionism and antisemitism are indelibly intertwined. jpost.com/diaspora/articโฆ
Decisions by the Israeli government are directly responsible for getting us to the point where Gaza is experiencing severe malnutrition and hunger, even as Hamas, ineffective NGOs, and the UN share part of the responsibility. I joined @i24NEWS_EN to discuss the crisis.
Not a single protest in London over the brutal massacre of Druze in Syria. But when Israel, the worldโs only Jewish state, defends itself, the streets are full. Ask yourself why
Turkey has bombed Iraqi Kurdistan 18,235 times since the beginning of 2025. Hundreds of villages have been occupied, destroyed, and depopulated by the Turkish army, thousands of civilians displaced. Zero condemnations from the UN.
Welcome to the embarrassing, pathetic, ineffective & highly destructive state of "pro-Palestine" activism 2 years after October 7, where a simple condemnation of a terrorist group, Hamas, that destroyed Gaza & decimated Palestinian lives, is still refused & too much to ask for.
