I'm just so so sick of ignorant media Islamophobes in senior positions of the UK & US media viciously going after anyone that dares stand up against the slaughter and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Trevor Phillips notoriously got suspended from the Labour Party for Islamophobia, and you get the feeling, watching this astonishingly rude & sneary interview with @ZackPolanski, virtually the only senior British politician to show any sympathy for the Gazans, that Phillips frankly wouldn't lose a wink of sleep if every last Palestinian was erased from the face of the earth. He certainly can't see anything positive about protesting their genocide. Which raises the question: how and why did someone with such a record of toxic divisiveness ever get offered a Prime Time show in the first place?

They killed tens of thousands of Palestinian children then held a vigil for two Jews who were non-fatally stabbed, ignoring the Muslim who was also stabbed Performative, racist, agenda-driven garbage

This week, they came for Zack Polanski. Every interview hostile. Every presenter badgering. The Met Commissioner wrote him a scathing letter. Trevor Phillips piled in. Ed Balls, a Labour politician married to a Cabinet minister, sat across from the Green Party leader and acted like that was normal. They meant to destroy him. Instead, they destroyed their own credibility. Ed Balls is now facing questions about whether he should remain on air. So is the Met Commissioner. So is Trevor Phillips. Zack walked into every room, took every hit, and gave as good as he got. Maya Angelou said it best: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." The media, the establishment, the parties who feel threatened by what he represents, they showed us exactly who they are. And Zack looks braver for every punch they threw.

The head of the newly-formed Reform Friends of Israel, Jason Pearlman, was until December a media adviser to Israel’s president Isaac Herzog. Pearlman claims Israel has not committed a single war crime in Gaza. declassifieduk.org/no-war-crimes-…

The Metropolitan Police had a 240-page war crimes dossier on 10 British nationals who fought with the IDF in Gaza. It included evidence of killings, forced transfers and torture. The Met chose not to investigate. That is not justice asleep. That is British impunity wide awake.

Sir Mark Rowley's statement is factually wrong. This wasn't an assault on one community. Three, not two people were stabbed in a random knife attack. One of the victims was a Muslim. Statistically anti-Semitism is virtually nonexistent in Britain. It's Zionist amplification that causes fear. Sir Mark is reinforcing a Zionist myth that Jews are unsafe on British streets, which is being peddled to manufacture consent for an authoritarian clampdown on criticism of Israel and support for Palestine.

Israel is committing genocide, the vast majority of genocide scholars (of whom I am one) and human rights organisations agree. @ZackPolanski is only stating a well-established truth. The campaign against him is a campaign of genocide denial.

Owen Jones: You can openly support Israel wiping Gaza off the map - that's mainstream. No debate. No "extremist" label. But march next to Jews against killing civilians? That makes you a dangerous hateful extremist. The world has turned on its head

'I understand how the Jewish community would fall into that trap.' Analyst Daniel Levy suggests that the main reason for rising anti-semitic tensions in the UK might be Benjamin Netanyahu.

There's No RISE of Antisemitism. They Lied. There's No National Emergency. They Lied. There's No SEVERE Threat Level. They Lied. They're MANUFACTURING a Crisis to FAKE Consent to violate our democratic rights. A Muslim was stabbed first BEFORE 2 Jews. They Lied. Muslims Don't Count. Golders Green was NOT an Antisemitic Attack. British Zionist Jews aren't unsafe because of freedom protests when Anti-Zionist Jews are at the forefront of every protest against Israel. You do not have my consent.

Andy Burnham's membership of Labour Friends of Israel & his one time 'special adviser' Jennifer Gerber-Israeli lobbyist & former LFI leader-is being airbrushed out of his bid to replace Starmer as Israel's man as UK PM. Burnham's hidden Zionist connections are deeply subversive.

A sikh woman was horrifically raped in her own home in a racially/religiously motivated attack. This was the 2nd rape of a sikh woman in months. Yet no one called for the banning of the Tommy Robinson hate marches, even though sikh woman felt too scared to walk outside anymore and carried alarms. If you ban one march- then you ban ALL marches. I absolutely stand with the Jewish community. I dont want them to feel afraid walking the streets as much as any marginalised community including my own.

Panellists on Question Time spent half an hour competing in their calls for even more severe curbs on the right to protest against Israel's genocide, claiming it was the only way to stop attacks on Jews like the one in Golders Green. Finally, when the Green party's deputy leader made a limp attempt to suggest linking the two was wrong, Fiona Bruce immediately shut her down. We are now far, far down the road to authoritarian Britain.

Trash BBC reported that Essa Suleiman attacked two Jewish men Then say he attacked another man but don't mention the third victim is a Muslim man Throw trash into trash bin

Extremist is the death and destruction that Benjamin Netanyahu government brings on a daily basis. Extremist is them introducing the death penalty for Palestinians. Extremist is this apartheid, genocidal Israeli Government that our Government shamefully supports.

Rowley is lying and he knows it. This is a resigning offence. He is whipping up fear and hatred by suggesting that marches deliberately march near synagogues. Its untrue. No march has directly passed a synagogue. He must retract and apologise or resign. middleeasteye.net/news/met-polic…

Weird that even the police, in their tweet, though not in the full statement itself, are just airbrushing the fact that he’s being charged with three attempted murders, not two, the third person being a Muslim man he stabbed earlier in the day

The Times has published a rabidly antisemitic caricature of Jewish Green Party leader @ZackPolanski Same racist style as cartoons of Jews in the Nazi paper Der Sturmer Have the press regulator, Culture Secretary & Jewish organisations denounced this antisemitism?

So it turns out we weren’t gaslighting ourselves after all. Turns out John McAndrew is a senior BBC executive who was appointed Director of News Programmes in 2022. He previously worked at the marketing arm of Reform UK, GB News as an editorial director.

Already under heavy scrutiny, Keir Starmer signs off on parachuting his niece into a “safe” seat in Croydon, after sidelining two respected local councillors. What message does that send? Not merit. Not fairness. Not democracy. At a time when trust in politics is already thin, this looks like pure entitlement. Is this really what “clean politics” looks like?
