These children have more honour than the entire leadership of the Muslim world
Children throw bottles filled with rice, lentils & legumes into the sea, hoping the current will carry them to Gaza’s shores #BottlesToGaza
I would now expect the UK to do the same.
France will recognize a Palestinian state in September, President Emmanuel Macron says cnn.it/3UvELrq
Simon the historian hasn't noticed that the really big disappearance of liberal Europeanness is that Europe (incl UK) hasn't abided by the post-war institutions of international law when it comes to Israel. Lol.
This is disgusting and terrifying in equal measure. It can not stand. Some parts of Europe are losing the liberality the europeanness that we so celebrated after WW2. It was shallower than we hoped
Peter Kyle on Newsnight had a touching faith in Ofcom's ability to regulate social media. Ofcom is an utterly useless organisation, incapable of regulating traditional media, so why should this new responsibility be any different?
David Lammy will be remembered for one thing and one thing only Supporting genocide and the mass murder of children His legacy is already written
Dancer Danni Perry raised a Palestine flag during their curtain call at the Royal Opera House, risking their career to speak out for Gaza: “I chose to do my demonstration during my curtain call, a moment for myself. I chose to make it about something bigger than me.” They say…
This is Labour MP Maria Eagle saying the quiet part out loud. Telling everyone that the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 has been operating “reconnaissance missions” for Israel’s IDF.
I looked at Lammys register of interests for 22/23 yesterday. On 7-11-23 a month after 7-10 he received £70k from Zionist billionaire Gary Lubner and £29k from Labour Togethet , funded by Zionist Trevor Chinn who also funds LFI, CFI, BICOM. Surely that should be illegal
Lammy disappearing in a spray of his own froth, right now on the Today programme. We're lucky to have a man of his stature as Foreign Sec. All good.
When are we going to take the appropriate action to bring about a full trade and arms embargo and concentrate the mind of Israel? Because nothing else is working. They're not listening. They're getting away with murder, every single day.

We’re way past the point where strongly worded statements are meaningful. Starving people can’t eat words.

I hope by now people can see how utterly mad this is: Israel is conducting a slaughter but the problem with that is that some of the victims or survivors may be radicalised
Netanyahu has overseen slaughter in Gaza, the decimation of the reputation of Israel and the radicalisation of a new generation of terrorists. I hope more pro Israel voices will see what a disaster he has been not just for Israel but the wider world thetimes.com/article/9f7308…
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that the lemon drizzle cake is now Hamas
Why do you lie, David? Amnesty on Pakistan minorities, 16 June 25: share.google/aELgthLn4M0KvH… Amnesty on massacre of Christians in Nigeria, 15 April 25: Nigeria: share.google/95TtnC6vcv2lYg… Amnesty on massacres of Alawites in Syria: share.google/XLxapCZeo592id… No doubt Amnesty will…
Amnesty has not said a word about the massacre of Druze. Amnesty is quiet on the massacre of Christians in Nigeria. Amnesty ignores the persecution of minorities in Pakistan. When Islamic extremists murder, Amnesty International is blind. It is an anti-western, pro-Islamist NGO
