British Indians Voice 🇮🇳🇬🇧
Sunday reminder for every British Indian who feels like they don’t belong. Ben Kingsley — born Krishna Pandit Bhanji. Won the Oscar. Knighted by the Queen. Freddie Mercury — born Farrokh Bulsara. Changed music forever. Anish Kapoor — born Mumbai. Transformed British contemporary art. Rishi Sunak — born Southampton. Became Prime Minister. Cultural and sporting heroes — Freddie Mercury, Sir Ben Kingsley, Dev Patel, Ravi Bopara, Sir Anish Kapoor — proof that British Indians have always belonged at the very top. You belong here. You always did. Now go be extraordinary. 🙏🇮🇳🇬🇧 #BritishIndians

Freddie Mercury — Indian. 🎸 Ben Kingsley — Indian. 🎬 Anish Kapoor — Indian. 🎨 Panjabi MC — Indian. 🎵 Your NHS doctor — probably Indian. 🏥 Britain’s national dish — Indian. 🍛 The word “Blighty” — Indian. 🇬🇧 At what point does Britain accept — We were always here. Part of the furniture. Part of the culture. Part of Britain. 😌🇮🇳🇬🇧 Full stop. #BritishIndians

Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו
Today I instructed my legal advisers to consider the harshest legal action against The New York Times and Nicholas Kristof. They defamed the soldiers of Israel and perpetuated a blood libel about rape, trying to create a false symmetry between the genocidal terrorists of Hamas and Israel’s valiant soldiers. Under my leadership, Israel will not be silent. We will fight these lies in the court of public opinion and in the court of law. Truth will prevail.

Happy 78th anniversary to Israel - declared independence 14th May 1948. 78 years of a nominally Jewish state that gives equal rights to Christian, Muslim and atheist citizens; and stands as the most liberal (in the old fashioned sense), free, progressive and westernised society in the region. Don't believe the lies. .🎂🎉🎊🥂🇮🇱❤️
StandWithUs@StandWithUs

On May 14, 1948, exactly 78 years ago today, the State of Israel was established in the ancestral and indigenous homeland of the Jewish people. Happy Birthday, Israel! 🇮🇱 Pictured: David Ben-Gurion in Tel Aviv, moments before delivering Israel’s historic Declaration of Independence. Photo: REUTERS

There is no credible evidence for this claim, which appears to be spreading in an effort to divert attention from the report into the genuine horrors committed against Israel on Oct th. timesofisrael.com/cochav-elkayam…
Owen Jones@owenjonesjourno

Israel is using dogs to rape Palestinians. There are multiple testimonies about this crime. When I first reported on this obscenity, it triggered a firestorm. The New York Times has now, finally, reported on it - and Israel's systematic use of sexual violence.

If you want to know why all the deeply silly “dog rape” stories were published this week, it’s because the paid pro-Palestinian influencer squad were ordered to get ahead of this, genuine horror story.

Today’s front page. The evidence Hamas filmed itself. A 300-page report, two and a half years in the making, documents the systematic sexual violence of Oct. 7 — much of it broadcast by the terrorists. The deniers have nowhere left to stand. @Jerusalem_Post

As a white British man, I absolutely embrace your community. If you were born in the UK, or have settled here and undergone naturalisation, I consider you British, irrespective of whatever links you do or don't retain with India. Those here temporarily for work reasons, I welcome and invite to stay.

A question for a Sunday. Britain has 2.1 million British Indians. We contribute 6% of GDP. We staff 1 in 6 NHS positions. We have the highest household wealth. We have the lowest crime rate. We have the highest employment. And yet — We have no formal protection against Hinduphobia. We receive £5m security funding shared with ALL other faiths. We are told to go home by anonymous accounts daily. At what point does Britain’s most successful minority community get treated like one? 🤔🇮🇳🇬🇧 #BritishIndians

Seriously?!?!? The fact that this nutjob first had an altercation with a muslim acquaintance, does not alter the fact that he subsequently purposely went to what is known to be a heavily Jewish area of London and targeted Jews. The earlier altercation presumably wasn't religiously motivated. What later happened in Golders Green definitely was.
Jeremy Corbyn@jeremycorbyn

The stabbing of two Jewish men is horrifying. So too is the attack on a Muslim man the same day, ignored by much of our media. All human lives are equal — and we should oppose all hatred and violence wherever it appears. That’s how we build a safe & peaceful society for all.

A recent report says that voice notes are huge across the world… apart from in Britain. Here’s my two cents (or pennies) on why I dislike voice notes: 1. I don’t want to have to put in earphones or find a quiet place when out and about, just for you to tell me “yes” or “no” about whether you’re free for a cup of tea next Wednesday. 2. While I’m watching telly, I want to be able to glance down at my phone and get the information I need in text form. I don’t want to have to turn the telly off and listen to your private podcast that’s just for me. 3. I don’t want to wade through three minutes of waffle and chit-chat I never asked for when a thumbs-up emoji will do. 4. It makes me feel like you expect a voice note back - and I’m not doing that. 5. I have no interest in tangents about how you’ve just seen an interesting pigeon on the pavement. I asked if you could give me a lift to the station, and 12 minutes in you’re talking about a pigeon and I’ve missed my train. 6. The convenience is all yours. It’s quick to send a voice note, but much slower for me to consume it. It’s bad manners. I think that about covers it. Of course, if voice notes are a more accessible option for the sender (due to difficulty typing, vision impairment, language barriers, etc.), that’s completely understandable - a different kettle of fish! But if you just like waffling, I’d rather not be the waffle sounding board. (Really I think I’m just jealous of people who are able to talk coherently for minutes at a time).

My grandfather came to Britain in 1965. He didn’t speak much English. He worked night shifts in a factory in Birmingham. He paid his taxes. Kept his head down. Never complained. His son became a doctor. His granddaughter is a tech engineer. His great-grandchildren were born British. Three generations. Zero crime. Zero benefits fraud. Zero debt to this country. And still, STILL someone tells us to go home. Where exactly is home supposed to be? 🇮🇳🇬🇧 #BritishIndians

@RaziGinzberg Not seeing anything excessive here... The terrorist, although tasered, is clearly still holding the knife, and the police and shouting at him to release it....
