Henry Nowak's father appealed for his murder not to be "used to create further hatred, division or tension." Nigel Farage, the far right and racists generally had other ideas.

Israel's slaughter in Lebanon speaks to a basic truth: Israel believes it can get away with anything, and with US support, it absolutely can

278 130

Britain now welcomes apologists for genocide - and bars those who oppose it

391 145

Why isn’t this splashed all over the newspaper front pages, leading news bulletins, provoking condemnations by Western politicians?

220 92

What did they do?

157 86

Completely ludicrous.

178 71

This is how they’re erasing Palestine.

252 137

How would his brain cope with this?

122 20

If the AI revolution is run in the interests of corporate elites, there's going to be a colossal backlash.

161 42

It can't last.

116 36

We can't be having "conspiracy theories" about the hidden power of elites, can we Tony?

180 51

Has he not seen the bloodthirsty actions of the Israeli state?

160 44

On one more "rare intervention".

90 25

There's no humility from these people, is there?

132 35

Nothing they've said has come to pass.

95 20

They've turned Iran into a global power.

149 56

If this is what Israel is doing to white Westerners on camera: What the hell do you think they're doing to Palestinians off camera?

550 262

Tommy Robinson is a hateful liar. He spread a lie about undocumented migrants murdering Americans. This is the real hate march.

418 152

In 2015, Andy Burnham denounced "unjustified spitefulness towards Israel". He called Israel a beacon of civil liberties. Yet in October 2023, he called for a ceasefire in Gaza - long before Starmer. The question now is: does he recognise the genocide? will he impose sanctions?

198 54

A question for @andyburnham.bsky.social: What do you mean by "stronger public control"? Does that mean a) direct public ownership or b) just better regulation?

188 54

If your only metric is the bond markets: Why not abolish democracy and put JP Morgan in charge? Spot on from Ash Sarkar

412 111

The message is clear: Muslims are fair game in this country.

580 220

Marching against genocide is a hate march. Marching to "stop Islam", kick out Muslims and prepare for civil war isn't a hate march. The world has been turned on its head.

609 232

WARNING: There is a significant chance that you will die of cringe watching this video.

446 145

An Israeli comedian joking about raping Palestinian detainees. What do you even say

194 118

Israel’s crimes are not a "blood libel". They are documented truth.

325 128

Is Andy Burnham Labour's best chance? @labourlewis.bsky.social thinks so...

105 34

Once again, Keir Starmer used his family for cynical purposes. Nobody cares, Keir. Stop telling us about your family - and go and spend more time with them instead. Which you can achieve by resigning as Prime Minister.

287 65

Keir Starmer thinks his problem is communication. The style isn't the problem (although that is crap, to be fair). It's the substance.

336 75

Would Andy Burnham fix Labour's problems? There are strong reasons to be sceptical.

139 30

Imagine this was a Jewish person who wasn't left-wing or pro-Palestinian.

623 198

It's absurd we even have to have this argument.

471 168

This is the biggest journalistic scandal of our time.

187 75

🔥🔥🔥

726 134

How on earth is this acceptable?

538 159

The Greens crushed Labour in Hackney. The politics of hope defeated the politics of fear 💚 Congratulations @zoegarbett.bsky.social!

448 82

The war on Ukraine is a terrible crime. But the genocide in Gaza is far far far worse - and it is our governments that are responsible.

199 60

It's a lie that Gaza protesters are harassing Jewish people. The Met police were asked for evidence. They refused to offer any.

320 110

The police are lying to you over the Gaza protests. The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police should resign.

302 132

There is a smear campaign against the Green Party. Call it what it is.

315 102

Politicians and media attacking @zackpolanski.bsky.social over antisemitism lack any decency. So says Rabbi Herschel Gluck - who was given an OBE for advancing interfaith understanding.

549 214

More Jews are marching on pro-Palestinian marches pro rata than any other community. Stop calling opposition to genocide hatred. Listen to the esteemed Rabbi Herschel Gluck, president of the Shomrin in North East London.

438 174

MPs completely messed up their interrogation of Morgan McSweeney. Abject incompetence.

157 50

There's two basic problems with Labour's Ed Balls. 1) He hates the left. 2) He has a very thin skin.

501 106

"If you invade me, you'll die." In Cuba I visited a society under siege. Watch the full documentary on my YouTube now

142 41

Amazing stuff.

154 38

This grubby, morally bankrupt clique must be driven from British politics.

269 109

It's the biggest strategic defeat suffered by the US since its emergence as a superpower.

134 41

This Palestinian family have been through hell. Our governments put them there. We can change their lives. Please donate whatever you can.

86 32

How can the BBC possibly argue they take racism against Muslims or Palestinians seriously after this?

273 101

"Chickens for KFC". That's what queer people who oppose slaughtering innocent people in Iran or Gaza are called. Brilliant queer Iranian-Canadian journalist @smohyeddin.bsky.social takes that to pieces.

192 64

How much further can we sink?

226 82

This is the mentality of genocide.

223 112

This is war. Watch my full Cuba documentary here, made in collaboration with @bellyofthebeastcuba.com: www.youtube.com/watch?v=93rp20ZMzT0

237 102

A moral giant in a hothouse of genocidal mania.

266 108

There are no missiles raining down on Havana. But what I saw there was still warfare.

366 118

Oof! White House Comms director Steven Cheung isn't happy with me. The US suffering the worst strategic defeat since it became a superpower has clearly given him the grumps 😢

376 94

This is a lie. There's no evidence that tens of thousands of Iranians were killed by the regime earlier this year. This claim has been repeatedly promoted to support a war by fanatics who threatened to destroy Iran altogether.

283 88

The BBC just helped normalise nuclear extermination. This is insane.

433 147

Is it finally over for Donald Trump? I asked @krystalball.bsky.social

119 27

Cuba's hospitals don't have crucial medicines - because of US economic warfare. Made in collaboration with the brilliant @bellyofthebeastcuba.com. Watch our full Cuba documentary here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=93rp...

255 115

What more is Israel supposed to do?

341 184

The end of US empire. That's looming over the catastrophic illegal war on Iran. Brilliant as ever from @krystalball.bsky.social

250 82

Western imperialism doesn't bring freedom. It brings murderous chaos. Listen to @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social

243 94

“We always prefer to settle things through negotiation and diplomacy.” The front of these people.

178 51

For Palestinians, Zionism isn't just an ideology - it's a lived reality. It's meant ethnic cleansing, colonisation, slaughter - and genocide. As Alaa Radwan says, she distinguishes between Zionism and Jewish people. Tone policing victims of genocide is disgusting.

203 70

The big defining test of our time: Do you think Palestinian life has equal worth? Our politicians and media outlets don't even pretend to pass it.

798 413

Donald Trump is right. There has been "regime change" in Iran. The regime has become more hardline.

181 51

The US faces catastrophic strategic defeat in the Iran war.
