Vote Labour to strengthen Israel’s grip on power in the UK, money buys influence.

Palestine's national team played its first European match in a generation against the Basque Country, in a sold-out San Mamés stadium. While the Basque players walked onto the pitch with children by their side... The Palestinian players carried white roses instead. Roses for the children they can no longer hold. Roses for the thousands of innocent lives stolen in Israel's genocide. They didn't come for victory on the scoreboard. They came to remind the world: Palestine still breathes. Palestine still fights. Palestine is not alone. In the heart of the Basque people who know what it means to resist nearly 50,000 voices roared in solidarity. Football is never just a game when your people are being erased. This is more than a match. This is memory. This is defiance. This is humanity refusing to look away. Free Palestine. From the river to the sea.

🚨BREAKING: This is VERY BRUTAL 🔥 🇺🇸Professor John: "From 1971 to 2022, America killed 38 million people. They are the origin of terrøŕiśm." “And this is the very same U.S. that now wants to ‘liberate’ Iran.” BRUTAL REALITY CHECK 🔥🗿

@adele_liam The only thing Liam has ever said that's true: "I am a bit of a twat."

Liam being the best comedian on Twitter no one can be like him 🤣❤️

Remember the Western outrage about hostilities near Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine? Israel-U.S. have bombed our Bushehr plant four times now. Radioactive fallout will end life in GCC capitals, not Tehran. Attacks on our petrochemicals also convey real objectives.

Remember when Johnny Depp made this statement? “If Donald Trump is elected President of the United States in a kind of historical way it’s exciting because we will see the actual last President of the United States....."

The rebellion against the UK’s role supporting the illegal US destruction of Iran is growing. Time perhaps for @BBC and @Channel4News to cover this and question Starmer’s lie that the UK is not involved?

BREAKING: Russia’s state nuclear company Rosatom says the risk of a nuclear accident at Iran’s Bushehr plant is increasing, as it evacuated a further 198 staff from the site on Saturday, according to Russian media. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/0ni4lg

Really, @Keir_Starmer? 👀 This is what “British national interest” looks like to the so-called human rights lawyer: letting US bombers use the U.K. as a launchpad for illegal strikes on Iran. Complicit in bombing while gaslighting the public. Stop the lies, Keir. 🇬🇧

🚨 BREAKING: Iran's foreign minister just said the quiet part out loud.. "remember the western outrage about hostilities near Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine? Israel-U.S. have bombed our Bushehr plant four times now. radioactive fallout will end life in GCC capitals, not Tehran." the world nearly had a collective breakdown in 2022.. because russia was fighting near Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.. the UN called emergency sessions.. the IAEA rushed inspectors.. western leaders warned of catastrophic nuclear risk.. the outrage was global and it was loud.. Israel and the US have now bombed the Bushehr nuclear plant four times.. the IAEA confirmed one person killed by projectile fragments.. and the leaders who couldn't stop talking about Zaporizhzhia haven't said a word.. but here's the geography nobody's explaining.. Bushehr sits on the coast of the Persian Gulf.. Tehran is hundreds of miles inland.. if that plant is hit badly enough.. the radioactive fallout doesn't blow toward iran.. it blows across the Gulf.. toward Riyadh.. Dubai.. Doha.. Abu Dhabi.. the capitals of every Arab state that has stayed quiet while this war escalated.. they traded their silence for normalisation.. they didn't know they were also trading for downwind.. araghchi isn't threatening the west.. he's talking directly to the Arab world.. "your silence has a price.. and it's being denominated in rads." the rules only apply when it's someone else's nuclear plant.

This Easter, we remember: Israel obliterated the mausoleum of Simon Peter, the Apostle of Christ, in Shama, southern Lebanon. A sacred site that stood for over 2,000 years, now in ruins. This is a war crime. This is a crime against history.

@SkyNews Trump's becoming increasingly desperate, which is why they're flailing around with this sort of nonsense. They will do worse in the coming days or weeks, but the guy's cooked - he'll be remembered as the president who sank the US.

BREAKING: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he has cancelled the green cards of Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, the niece of the late Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, and her daughter. Rubio says the two are now in ICE custody. trib.al/XnNFrvP 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602

@ghida_fakhry I know from experience how extremely frustrating it is to interview a high-ranking idiot while keeping your cool and staying on track. Well done for trying.

“Iran doesn’t want peace, it wants to kill every Israeli. And Israel? “Israel wants peace…” —U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman, one of the most hawkish pro-Israel voices in Congress. I asked him about Israel’s attacks on neighbors and occupation: “It’s a growing nation for sure”—refusing to call it expansionism. He referenced the Bible. And international law? “Well, people violate it every day.” On this, at least, he admitted what we all know. Full interview: youtu.be/d9BmDhqWVHo?si…

Seeing New York Times editors say NATO stands for "North American Treaty Organization" on the same day CNN claims Iranians might help the downed pilot who was trying to bomb them because they're happy he's there really illustrates how fucked western journalism is, doesn't it? I mean, this is some serious baby-brained thinking on display here. That New York Times headline made it through MULTIPLE checkpoints before publication without it ever even occurring to anyone to at least do a quick Google search to find out if the A in NATO really does stand for "American", and, if so, why are there so many European countries in it? That CNN analyst really does have such an infantile, children's cartoon worldview on American wars that she thinks the people being bombed by US fighter jets will want to hug them and kiss them and give them presents when they emergency eject into enemy territory. It's kind of amazing that any of the people involved in either of these incidents are working in news media at all. If you've ever wondered why so many Americans are so ignorant about what's going on in their world, it's because for generations these have been the kinds of people informing them about world events. These are the news outlets who've been responsible for creating an informed populace. And their reporting is shared with the entire western world. I constantly criticize the western press for its role in propagandizing the public to manufacture consent for evil wars and normalize an abusive political status quo. You cannot despise these manipulators enough for their role in the world's dysfunction today. But these two incidents highlight the fact that the people running the western press aren't just evil — they're also really, really stupid.

@UKLabour Are you? Then why are you allowing the US to use bases in the UK to bomb Iran “back to the Stone Age”? And why aren’t you negotiating directly with Iran to allow UK-registered ships to sail through the Strait of Hormuz, as the French and Spanish are doing?

We’ve been clear from the start.

They've changed their name to "Bored with Peace".

@NYTimesPR @sissenberg @nytimes You really are a bunch of goons, aren't you.

@sissenberg @nytimes A correction will appear in tomorrow's print edition: "A headline with an article on Friday about President Trump’s threats to leave NATO misstated the full name of the body. It is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, not the North American Treaty Organization."

Does the @nytimes know what NATO stands for?

How is this even possible?

An hour after announcing his resignation, the US Army Chief of Staff says: "A madman is about to lead the great US military to ruin."
