Westminster PSC

From @DoubleDownNews: pro-Palestine marches are not the real threat to our society or humanity; those who criminalise them.. are

Join us on May 16 in London to mark the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, the catastrophe of 1948 when Israel drove over 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. 🎥 Watch different generations of Palestinians in Britain tell their Nakba stories.

There’s no buffer zone, there’s just Lebanon. Israel is occupying it.

🚨 Smotrich: West Bank Settlement Expansion Has “Full Backing” of Trump Administration Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told the Jerusalem Post that Israel’s accelerating settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank is being carried out with full U.S. support, coordinated directly with President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Ambassador Mike Huckabee. ▪️ Since the current government took office in 2022, over 51,000 housing units have been approved for the West Bank, according to Smotrich’s office. ▪️ The Sa-Nur settlement in West Bank, evacuated 20 years ago under Israel’s Disengagement Plan, was reestablished Sunday, with over a dozen families already in residence. Smotrich said more settlements would follow “very soon.” ▪️ Smotrich called on Netanyahu to order the IDF to prepare for the “full conquest” of the Gaza Strip and the establishment of Israeli settlements there as well. ▪️ He said Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are “part of the Iranian axis of evil” and dismissed documented Jewish extremist violence against Palestinians as “one of the biggest false campaigns there is.” ▪️ On international condemnation: “In the past, even building 50 housing units would lead to condemnation. Today it is very different.” Smotrich acknowledged Trump has not yet backed full West Bank annexation, but claimed “we will also succeed in that.”

For a human rights lawyer, @Keir_Starmer has alarmingly little interest in international law "Foreign Office unit tracking Israel’s breaches of international law closes due. Department will also lose access to database of 26,000 verified incidents" theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Palestine is also one of humanity’s oldest toponyms, and records of a people named after it are as old as literacy itself. On the temple of Medinet Habu near Thebes there is inscribed in hieroglyphs the name of the people who had invaded from the North who the Egyptians knew as the ‘Peleset’. The inscription dates from the time of Pharaoh Ramses III, and was carved in 1186 BC. The cuneiform inscriptions of the Assyrians mention the ‘Palashtu’ who lived on the southeastern Mediterranean coast from about 800BCE. The Book of Genesis in 21:34 says clearly that after migrating from the city of Ur, that the Patriarch Abraham lived “in the land of the Philistines.” Herodotus, the Father of History, describes the same area as “Syria Palestina” (Παλαιστίνη) around 480BCE.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz bragged: "We carried out surprise strikes targeting hundreds of Hezbollah operatives & their command centers across Lebanon. This is the largest attack of its kind since the pager attacks.” They even gave the operation a new name: “Eternal Darkness”. Hundreds of civilians, entire families, children, journalists, medics, social workers, slaughtered yesterday across Beirut & the rest of the country. Meanwhile, here is what “Eternal Darkness” actually looked like.

This is intolerable. The BBC has legitimised war crimes and genocide for years. They are deliberately distorting reality in favour of Israeli propaganda. License payers have to find a way of making this outrage stop.

These revolting racist online attacks need to be monitored and stopped. If it was said in person or in a letter or email, shouted at a sports match, or in a work place, there would be prosecutions or disciplinary action taken. How is this any different? Glad you’re home @SangitaMyska Welcome back ❤️‍🩹

I just read the new Haaretz article about how Israeli planted pines are suddenly dying en masse and it is absolutely worth dissecting. Here are a summary & my observations as a Palestinian scholar who writes on green colonialism. 1/

Keir Starmer has actively supported the US and Israel’s illegal war in Iran. By opening British bases up as staging grounds for Trump’s military operations, he is complicit in the death and destruction across the Middle East.

BREAKING: The White House suddenly sides with Benjamin Netanyahu and agrees that Christians in Lebanon are not part of the ceasefire and can be bombed by Israel.

No, let it be. Humanity must know what kind of creatures are leading the American people. The American people deserve better than this.

The future of Palestine belongs to the Palestinians. Intl law says it. The ICJ reaffirmed it. Now: States must cut ties with Apartheid Israel. Companies > divest. Universities > disengage. Citizens > stop buying its products/services. Alternatives exist. Justice means freedom.
