@BellRibeiroAddy How about stopping the march of the jihadi. (and no, not all Muslims are jihadis)

Gaza has been a major factor behind voters leaving our party. In one recent poll, 53% of former Labour voters said it was a decisive factor. Why is this government willing to expend so much political capital to ensure weapons companies can keep arming Israel?

@the_andrey_x why are you such a horrible person andrey

Only she didn’t say that did she? As you must know if you have followed the case, which I know you have, it was Counsel for Ms Ammori who compared PA to the Suffragettes. What Lady Chief Justice Carr actually said was this “It is not, as it claims, a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes operating transparently in the open.” In other words she was saying the courts disagreed with that argument. To then claim she was somehow arguing the Suffragettes were paragons of peace and harmony is disingenuous. She was simply dealing with Counsel’s argument.

@Rehiana1980 Loosing land in war is not theft. It is failure to carry out a genocide

Look you "anti-semites", selling stolen land is exactly the same as holding a dance club, cake bakes or opposing a genocide. Anyway, the hotel cancelled it so we're the victims really.

@GarySpedding Gary, stop defining how jews should see themselves. Whatever you call it. Jews define themselves as a people, have a connection with the Holy Land

British Jews are indeed facing rising antisemitism. There are entirely legitimate fears & anxieties surrounding the future of Jewry in the UK because of rising antisemitism. The answer to this is categorically *NOT* to offer British Jews the opportunity to purchase land and property in Israel and it most certainly isn't appropriate to encourage British Jews to purchase land and property that is in the occupied Palestinian territory. Both Israel and Zionism exploit the drive that Jews feel in their justified quest for safety, encourage them to emigrate to a dangerous conflict zone (Occupied Palestinian territory) complete with property purchases, and claims this is protection for Jews when in reality it is the use of Jews in an ongoing settler-colonial project. Antisemitism is real, cyclical, and historically deployed to divide progressive movements and make Jews experience even more vulnerability (e.g., via Protocols of the Elders of Zion-style tropes of Jewish power/control). Jews are thus pushed into a corner and must wage a two-pronged fight: against antisemitism and against the question of broader injustice. Jewish communities are presented with a false and highly manipulative choice that must be rejected. Jews do not have to abandon progressive movements seeking justice and an end to human rights violations in order to feel 'safe'. Criticism of Israel, Zionism, occupation, apartheid, settlements, or related real-estate promotion is not inherently antisemitic. Antisemitism and anti-Zionism must be disentangled; conflating them is a political misuse that protects Israeli state policy while weakening genuine anti-racist coalitions. Jewish liberation is tied to the liberation of all oppressed peoples - including and especially the Palestinians. I encourage Jews everywhere to reject “divide-and-rule” tactics that instrumentalise antisemitism to shield right-wing ethnonationalism and delegitimise Palestinian solidarity. The big problem with the below quoted post is that @ourfightUK is consciously exploiting documented Jewish fears (post-7 October antisemitic incidents are indeed very real) to equate any opposition to Israeli real-estate promotion — especially where said real estate could very well be enabling illegal Israeli settlement expansion or the violent displacement of Palestinians — with antisemitism. Labelling opponents “Islamoleft” is divisive rhetoric that erases Jewish anti-Zionist participants and reduces complex political disagreement to a security threat against Jews as Jews. The event’s location in a synagogue is presented as inherently Jewish communal activity, making protest “antisemitic.” Yet politicising religious space for real-estate promotion tied to Israeli state interests is itself a political choice. Protesting that choice (on grounds of international law, Palestinian displacement, or settlement policy) targets policy content, not Jews qua Jews. This is such a crucial distinction to maintain as we on the left must NEVER conflate Jews and Jewish spaces (i.e. synagogues) with Israel simply because they are Jewish. 1/2 ->

@MohammedJRH96 You can lose land if you start a war

"we aren't auctioning land we are currently stealing, its land we stole decades ago" isn't a strong defence

@adamemedia1 Don't come to our fucking neighbourhood racist jihadis

This is how British police are treating Jews protesting the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate event’ in Edgware United Synagogue where plots in *illegal* settlements on Palestinian land are being sold. Everything about this is disgraceful.

The face of a jihadi after Muqāwamah

@EastBerkspsc Good jews are now tough. Don't come and try and intimidate us

Now in Edgware. We are I fear attack from hundreds of genocide supporters

@YallahF55917 Fuck you - don't define jews

Today’s events at Edgware Road and the behaviour of the Zionist community there was a disgrace, their support of the IDF and Israeli was on full display along with genocidal language. Conflating Israel with Judaism will only do harm to inncocent British Jews.

@mehdirhasan Shame on @mehdirhasan accuses and indulges in whataboutery #hypocrite

I see Sam Harris, the Gaza genocide apologist and ‘New Atheist’ apologist for a self-proclaimed Jewish state, is doing the usual pro-Israel whataboutism by cynically asking why people aren’t protesting, or didn’t protest or condemn, the killing Yemeni kids by a Saudi coalition backed by the US. So here’s my challenge to Sam Harris. Let’s compare records. Let’s compare what I have said and written about Yemen over the years with what Harris has said/written. Let’s compare what Ro Khanna or Bernie Sanders has said about Yemen, and what Harris has said. Let’s see who uses Yemen cynically as whataboutism to defend Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and who actually gives a damn about the people of Yemen and is consistent when it comes to objecting to US-backed foreign wars and genocides. Shame on Sam Harris.

@mehdirhasan Typical Mehdi, misscharacterises, accuses of whataboutery and indugles in whataboutery. Such tool of the Jihad or is that islamophobic

This is another example of how so many organizations are hijacked by partisan political activism. Regardless of your stance on Israel-Palestine, the notion that someone is expelled from an organization for not adopting highly-ideologically charged positions is troubling.

In case you still had any doubt Mehdi is a psychopath

@HarbTom @simonmontefiore @YoussefRaggi @gidonsaar @SecRubio To all the hezi supporters fuck off and stick your Jihad up your arse. Who wants fucking war.

It is now time to elevate the negotiating team to the Foreign Ministers level, involving Lebanon’s FM @YoussefRaggi , Israel’s FM @gidonsaar , and U.S. Secretary @SecRubio . Their direct engagement will expedite the process and help put forward acceptable solutions to achieve the objectives.

@PSCupdates @skwawkbox If the Palestinians didn't launch a war of extermination in 1948 the contours of this exhibition would he very different. Good advice, don't launch a war and then moan about it after

On 14 June the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ is to be held in London - selling stolen Palestinian land including in settlements in the occupied territories which are illegal. Write to Shabana Mahmood calling for it to be cancelled: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/israelirealest…

@JoJoPalestina20 @PSCupdates Me too

@PSCupdates I will be there, actually - definitely gonna buy property

When you land in Israel, you see Muslims everywhere - working in offices, relaxing on beaches, praying in mosques, living freely. When you visit Arab states, Jewish sites are museums to vanished Jewish communities chased out long ago. But yeah, sure, Israel is "Apartheid".

@afalkhatib Wow just wow

Will Europe Save Hamas in Gaza? I recently met with a high-ranking European official from a country deeply involved in the Israel and Palestine file to discuss Gaza’s future and immediate options for relieving civilians trapped under Hamas’s grip. I presented a simple proposal: create safe zones across the "Yellow Line" into the Israel‑controlled green zone and support new, organized, secure, Hamas‑free communities where Gazans could finally begin rebuilding their lives. Whether the issue is humane living conditions, deradicalization, education, healthcare, or shielding civilians from both Hamas or Israeli strikes, the green zone is the only place where meaningful action is possible. Instead of engaging, the official launched into a long monologue about their country’s contributions to the Palestinian Authority, UNRWA, and other institutions, all while insisting on their own “humility” as a faraway European nation. Then came the truly alarming part: a casual normalization of Hamas. The official proudly described how easy it had been to work with Hamas before October 7, praising the group for providing “excellent security” and being “easier to work with than others.” What they called pragmatism was, in reality, a twenty‑year pattern of enabling a violent terrorist organization responsible for immense civilian suffering. When I explained that any Hamas‑free zones would require vetting at the Yellow Line to prevent weapons or operatives from entering, the official reacted with shock. “This vetting would violate international law,” they repeated, insisting that their country could not fund projects with any checks on who enters. I noted the absurdity: I had undergone extensive vetting just to enter their country, and even this building, yet they believed Hamas fighters should be able to walk into new civilian safe zones unimpeded. Their only response was vague appeals to “international law,” which, in their interpretation, seems to require allowing terrorists to hide among civilians. The meeting ended on an even more surreal note. When the official asked what would happen to Hamas fighters left in the red zone, I said I didn’t care; they could fight the Israeli military on their own all they wanted once they no longer held two million civilians hostage. The official lamented that “this isn’t the old American West” and expressed concern for what would happen to Hamas without human shields. Disgust doesn’t begin to describe my feelings and reactions. I left convinced of something long suspected: Hamas’s twenty‑year rule was sustained not only by its own brutality but by an ecosystem of NGOs, donor nations, Western European governments, journalists, academics, activists, lawyers, and even self‑styled human‑rights defenders who normalized Hamas, treated it as a legitimate authority, or tolerated its abuses because their hostility toward Israel outweighed their concern for Gazans.

@Bella_healtheco @RhonddaBryant @harrison_alan Racist antizionsim which only encourages more extremisim
