The Left needs to unite against fascism Picking at each others positions and arguing amongst ourselves misses the bigger point: We are fighting against a manufactured fascism that threatens all our freedoms My new article for my newsletter open.substack.com/pub/danielgoya…
Imagine getting into politics to make a difference and then sacrificing all your integrity to provide political cover for a deranged genocidal ideologue. Pathetic, really.
British politics is just three right wing parties accusing one another of being socialists.
Reform is "another left wing party" says Kemi Badenoch
With the U.S. the only country voting against an immediate ceasefire, release of the hostages and humanitarian aid at the U.N., as well as providing the actual weapons used to kill and maim civilians, surely we must now view this as a joint Israel-U.S. genocide of Palestinians.
Not to worry, this is just Israel Blocking food from entering Gaza, and then enticing the starving desperate people to “food aid sites” and then killing them. Apparently it’s a more efficient form of genocide.
We are at the point where this repetitive rhetoric serves only to remind us of the cowardness and complicity of Starmer and our government in the worst atrocity most of us will ever witness. Do something, FFS, @Keir_Starmer
"The situation is intolerable in Gaza." UK PM Keir Starmer says the situation in Gaza is getting “worse by the day” and that it is important to ensure the besieged enclave receives more humanitarian aid urgently. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/x0hkl4
What words do we have for describing the process by which western governments express disapproval of Israel's actions but do f.a. and/or provide support ie do the opposite of what they say? Performative? Display? Deceit? Play-acting? Counterfeit? Show? Trickery? Disguise?
The true heroes of humanity are emerging.
Madleen, named after a Palestinian fisher, is set to sail today to Gaza to help break the aid blockade imposed by the Israeli army. Stressing its peaceful intentions and nature, the Flotilla announced itself clear of any forms of weaponry. On board, the team includes: Alana…
So we are still supplying military support to Israel and all that’s changed is the language we’re using! [well done @lewis_goodall for nailing him down]
The UN has stated that Gaza is the “hungriest place on Earth”. There’s no drought No natural disaster There is plenty of food only a few miles away They are being starved by Israel Let that sink in, Israel is intentionally starving an entire population!
After an incredible welcome from the wonderful people of Catania Sicily. The attempt at intimidation begins before the ship has left port. The world is watching!
Greta has more courage than most governments👏🏼 Hope you all stay safe and succeed in this mission✊🏼🇵🇸❤️ @GretaThunberg
Snowflakes are actually spectacular Being woke is actually a good thing Rainbows are awesome So effective is the right-wing oligarch owned media that things of beauty are made to look ugly and ugly things are somehow made to look beautiful Careful what you read!
if i hear about “the resilience of gazans” one more time… we don’t got a fucking choice mate
To the people of Palestine, You are seen You are loved You are deeply respected We know your names We cherish your children We read your every word Please know MILLIONS of us around the world are fighting EVERY DAY for your peace & freedom And we will NEVER stop 🇵🇸🤍
The humanitarian situation in #Gaza is spiraling. WFP has enough food to feed all 2.2M people for 2 months. A ceasefire is the only way to deliver it safely.
Incredible dynamic: Hamas keeps pushing for a provision that would see it relinquish power in Gaza and Israel keeps putting it back in to keep Hamas as the governing authority.
Interesting: In Hamas’s new proposal, it reinserted language that Israel and Witkoff removed that says that Hamas would relinquish all governance and management of Gaza to an independent technical committee of Palestinians. Israel and Witkoff paper didn’t mention this at all.
Tragically, it’s already done: the West has sacrificed its credibility through decades of free passes granted to Israel. Millions in the West—for whom liberté, egalité, fraternité are universal values—are suffering. One path remains: sanction Israel and protection force in oPt.
France's President Macron has warned that abandoning Gaza and giving Israel a "free pass" would destroy the West's credibility.
Bear in mind that the same people demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza are the exact same people who would have been calling for an end to the genocide during WW2. It’s got nothing to do with ethnicity and everything to do with humanity!
There’s a sickness in Israel and it’s contagious: open.substack.com/pub/dangoyal/p…
