@RezaNasri1 @Grok what's the source of this video?

Trump says it was “more fun” to sink Iranian ships than to capture them. He’s namely referring to the sinking of an unarmed Iranian training vessel, 2,000 miles from Iran’s coast, carrying 180 cadet officers returning from India. Trump is practically building the case file for any future war-crimes prosecutor.

@BBC do yue fact checks. Even your own pro-zionist government doesn't recognize Jerusalem as the capital of israel. Stop spreading propaganda. #post" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn5g…

🚨This Ramadan, make sure to boycott Israeli dates grown on stolen Palestinian land. Watch our guide to boycotting Israeli dates below, and sign our petition to supermarkets to demand they take all Israeli produce off the shelves: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/supermarkets (1/5)

@Natlumen @ShaykhSulaiman By "they made it", I'm assuming you mean the fact that they made it without being arrested for war crimes?

@ShaykhSulaiman Their story is just unbelievable first place or last place doesn’t matter they made it they are victors 🙏❤️

BREAKING: Swiss commentator kept on reminding viewers of the war crimes the pilot has openly supported, while the Israeli bobsleigh team was racing on the Olympics.

This always astonishes me about immigrants. You go to another country primarily because of money (you're an "economic migrant"). You make minimal effort to learn the local language. You hang out with other immigrants, and don't try to integrate. You don't contribute to the economy but you make use of its infrastructure. I'm really not sure why Dubai or Spain or Portugal would have the Brits who are leaving the UK, especially as they're so often ones complaining about the above...

As is being reported by pretty much every press outlet, Starmer's recognition of a Palestinian state is primarily a "symbolic move". Because that's what thousands of children killed and being killed need from Starmer. I'm sure they'll thank him for his symbolism.

5 or 10 years ago, I started believing and talking about how Israel was approaching its South Africa moment. That time, which I recall from my teens, when the entrenched and established powers dug their heels in with their support of the apartheid regime, because it was "civilised" and represented "our values" against the "uncivilised" and "barbaric". Never mind that the human rights abuses were being committed most flagrantly by the establishment, by the apartheid regime. But governments in the West, as well as big corporates, all favoured the status quo which aligned in reality with their retention of power. Then, and it seemed so sudden, everything changed. The street, artists, authors, youth - all came out in a snowballing effect for the rights of black South Africans which culminated in the overthrow of apartheid in South Africa. South Africa's closest ally and confidante during those apartheid years? Israel. I felt the moment was coming for Israel for some time now because of the extremes to which the Israeli regime was going to subjugate Palestinians. 66 laws reducing or denying them their rights. An illegal blockade on Gaza for approaching 2 decades. Accelerated land grabs for settlement expansion on the West Bank. Hundreds of children illegally imprisoned and tortured in Israeli prisons. Thousands of adults arrested without charge and also tortured. These were the signs of a regime becoming more extreme to hold onto power for one group while subjugating another. It wasn't without reason that organisations such as Amnesty International, parts of the UN, Human Rights Watch, human rights organisations within Israel, as well as those who knew apartheid best - Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela - all increasingly called out apartheid in Israel. It is tragic that somee years after, genocide was added to those crimes, and that it has taken the livestreaming of this genocide to wake people up to this. But the patterns repeat themselves. The most powerful Western governments, be it the US or the UK or Germany, are becoming entrenched in their support for Apartheid in Israel, while the street, the artists, the authors, the youth all see what it is, and having less to lose and a conscience to follow, are becoming active against it. Artists boycott festivals while the money in the sponsors and organisers continues in complicity. Protestors take to the streets peacefully, while the police and state create excuses to arrest them. Companies maintain their investments and activities, profiteering from human rights abuses while their employees resign or are sacked for speaking up. The time to replace an apartheid system which has no place in the modern world is coming. It is tragic that it has taken the killing of tens, likely over a hundred thousand innocents to get there.

About as clear as it gets from UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese. The West diverts attention rather than following its legal and moral obligation to do all it can to prevent Israel continuing its mass killing of Palestinian civilians.

@alexwickham The logic being that if a ceasefire is agreed, Palestinian rights to self-determination are no longer valid, and genocide also becomes OK as it's "history"?

Breaking: The UK will recognise the state of Palestine in September, before UNGA, unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the situation in Gaza including agreeing a ceasefire

What can *I* do to support Palestinians under Israeli genocide? Well, a lot actually. 1) Write to your MP demanding they tell David Lammy to stop arming war criminals - It is our legal obligation. 2) Write to Lammy directly demanding the same and to apply sanctions 3) Find and join your local Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) branch palestinecampaign.org/get-involved/b… - PSC is the largest European non-violent solidarity organisation, and organises local and national actions. Your skills will help. 4) Join the demoes palestinecampaign.org/events/ - This also sends a message to the Palestinians under extreme violence that many of us regard them as humans and are prepared to speak up. 5) Join the movement boycotting companies profiteering from human rights abuse bdsmovement.net. UK campaigns at palestinecampaign.org/campaigns/dont…. - We stopped Pret opening in Israel, and have closed thousands of Barclays accounts. 6) Lawyers, find groups demanding we uphold International Law with Israel (including ICJ and ICC). Push for UK to uphold its international obligations (see lawyersletter.uk). Remind our PM of his training as a Human Rights lawyer 7) Medics, join groups Health Workers 4 Palestine healthworkers4palestine.com - Advocate to protect doctors and nurses who have been targeted and are now starving (msf.org/gaza-israel-war). - Speak up and hold BMA accountable (bma.org.uk/what-we-do/wor…). 8) Journos, lobby for journalists to be protected (more journos killed in this atrocity in a year than since CPJ started reporting cpj.org/full-coverage-…) and to be allowed to report (IDF prevents this for fear of documentation of their atrocities). Demand the BBC reports fully and accurately 9) Local authority employees, push for divestment from companies in human rights abuses (lgpsdivest.org). - 16 Councils are in the process of divesting pension funds 10) Push for your local supermarkets to stop stocking complicit produce. - The Coop became the first national supermarket to boycott Israeli goods (theguardian.com/business/2025/…). Shop there and join grassroots organisations pushing for other supermarkets to follow its steps as we did with South Africa during its apartheid years 11) Donate to organisations working on the ground, or families you’re in touch with. - HopeandPlay.org has deep grassroots connections and is still providing food and water (though increasingly difficult)

Israel hasnt allowed food trucks into Gaza under pretext they'll end up with Hamas. Now they say airdrops will be allowed. Which is far less controlled than through NGOs. How does that stack up? Lie upon lie from Israel as it perpetrates unspeakable evil. #post" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx2l…

Trump's attack on "woke" exposes the flaws in tying purpose to profit. Purpose and values are a choice, not a tool for profitability. beyondthequarter.com/blogs/trump-sh…

So incredibly proud of @richkingpsc for getting divestment from shares in companies complicit in genocide onto the review board of Kingston Council. No one should be making money from the killing of children.

Imagine!!!

Amazing news. Boycott continues apace. The Co-op to stop stocking products from Israel.

“If you want to test a man's character, give him power” Keir Starmer out of power: in 1996 defends saboteurs of military aircraft destined for Indonesia on the grounds that they would be involved in genocide in East Timor. Keir Starmer in power: in 2025 seeks to proscribe saboteurs of military supplies destined to participate in genocide in Gaza. Does he pass the test? Amazing how people's values "flex" when they have some power.

“If you want to test a man's character, give him power” Out of power: @Keir_Starmer in 1996 defends saboteurs of military aircraft destined for Indonesia on the grounds that they would be involved in genocide in East Timor. In power: Keir Starmer in 2025 seeks to proscribe saboteurs of military supplies destined to participate in genocide in Gaza. Test of character? You decide.

As Israel attacks Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, commits Genocide in Gaza, and accelerates illegal settlements and violence in the West Bank, leaders at the G7 Summit declare *Iran* a major threat to instability in the Middle East and assert Israel's right to defend itself. Thus announcing to the world the official end of the rules-based world order, and death of both the Geneva Conventions and Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

@UKLabour Because, of course, the best way to deliver safety and security is to arm genocidal states and offer them military support when they go on murderous rampages against countries around them. No doubt, this will fill the world with love for Starmer and the UK.

This Labour government is putting the British people first.
