Fascinating piece by Farah Jamaluddin on the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre, drawing parallels with Gaza.
Real Media@RealMediaGB
Guest post by Farah Jamaluddin, who interviewed Bosnians and a Palestinian last year at the 30th anniversary memorial (July 11th) of the Srebrenica Genocide. They draw inevitable parallels with Gaza. More interviews and report in full at realmedia.press/srebrenica @CAGEintl @SrebrenicaUK @PSCupdates @Art4PalestineUK

The Iranians control the Strait. No matter how many times Trump throws a tantrum and tests this - the outcome will be the same.

This is abject from The Oxford Mail. They had to dredge up a year old quote from the discredited Campaign Against Antisemitism to attack our Wrong Jews film with Miriam Margolyes, Alexei Sayle and Michael Rosen. /1

This is a case study in the faux intellectual guffe that passes as analysis in the West on Israel. The solution is that the Israelis should stop killing the Palestinians and seeking to impose on them a system of ethnic hegemony. Until they do so they should be treated as South Africa was in the late 1980s.

To illustrate my point: So what is the actual achievable conceivable accords progressive governments would like to get a Eizenkot government to agree with Abbas or a successor and what is the Egyptian-Gulf-buy in for your proposal?

"There's increasing evidence that war crimes appear to have been committed."
This feeble statement is meaningless unless it is accompanied by concrete measures.

Burnham is stuck in late 2023. It isn’t just Labour’s initial response that has caused hurt. It is its comprehensive collaboration with Israel throughout 33 months of genocide, if Andy thinks this is going to cut it, he’s going to get a rude shock.

This is an absolutely stunning piece of writing by Taqwa Alwawi. A profound meditation on loss and memory when living through a genocide. Please read it all👇

This is a schoolboy error.

The PM is planning to announce a bank holiday if England win the World Cup. Final is the day before handover of power day on July 20. PM expected to confirm bank holiday if England reach the final, with the likely date set to be July 24. Dare to dream!

The scrutiny period for the EHRC's draft Code of Practice ends this week. This Code will enforce trans people's segregation, out them to others, and put them at increased risk of harassment, abuse and violence.
Despite more than 1 in 4 MPs signing my motion against the Code, it is due to come into force without any debate or vote in Parliament.
I have written to the Minister of Women and Equalities urging her to withdraw it now.

⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.

🚨 BREAKING: Israel has killed Mohamed Fawaz al-Wahidi, director of public relations for the Egyptian Committee in Gaza, Tuesday evening in a strike on a civilian vehicle near the governorate building in Gaza City’s al-Sabra neighborhood, per the Palestinian Information Center. Two other Palestinians, including a child, were killed alongside him and others wounded, per Arabi Post, bringing the day’s death toll from Israeli attacks across Gaza to six, amid ongoing violations of the ceasefire. The Egyptian Committee, established by President Sisi, is Cairo’s official relief arm in Gaza, distributing food, housing displaced families in camps it built at Netzarim, and clearing rubble. Israel has killed its personnel before: in January, an Israeli drone struck a vehicle carrying committee workers filming a new displacement camp near Netzarim, killing five people including three journalists working for the committee. Israeli media reported Cairo sent an angry protest demanding explanations for that attack. The targeted strike and killing of an official of Egypt’s own relief operation comes as Cairo hosts negotiations on the ceasefire’s second phase, with a Hamas delegation in its sixth day of talks there. Reports suggest the strike took place just before the Egypt-Argentina soccer World Cup match.

Scandalous.
18 months in arbitrary detention. No charge. No evidence. Torture attested by his lawyer, marks visible on his body.
And instead of covering this, @BBC amplifies Israel's unproven claims casting doubt on a hostage doctor.
>BBC's journalism in the time of genocide.

'Israel says' isn't journalism. As Israel slowly murders Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, this is shameful from the BBC

Lloyds Bank's decision to debank The Canary is a disgrace.
The Canary's CEO, Steve Topple, came in to the Double Down Newswatch Studio to tell us all about it.

Was Boris Johnson giving Christopher Harborne insider trading tips in return for donations to the Tories - and later gifts to himself?
More brilliant rerporting from @thenerve_news

NEW: Before cryptobillionaire Christopher Harborne gave £5m to @nigel_farage, he gave £1m to Boris Johnson. For what?? Today @nerve_news reveals new evidence that tracks Harborne's investments in defence firm QinetiQ...to key defence announcements from Boris Johnson. 1/

Stuzi is right - play this side by side with Laura Kuennsberg iv with Jenrick and it's embarrassing.
Why is GBNews doing a better job of calling Farage to account than the BBC?
Stuzi 🐝🐝@stuzi_pants
Hats off to Camilla Tominey for doing what #bbclaurak failed to do Doesn’t give Jenrick an inch, and makes him look like a gibbering idiot as he labels the Telegraph as part of the left wing media with an agenda against Farage… He’s a failed human
