You packed a lot of confusion into four sentences, Ezra, so let me untangle it slowly. First, this line: "So where is Israel's ancestral homeland if not Israel?" You are doing what Zionism always does. You take a religious or mythic claim that some Jews have a spiritual connection to a piece of land and you inflate it into a modern property deed for a 21st-century ethnostate. Ancestry is not a land title. If it were, half the planet would be on ships going back to somewhere else. Most Jews alive today do not have continuous, lived, generational ties to that land. Most Palestinians do. That is the difference you keep skipping. "Ancestral homeland" for you is a slogan. For them it is the house key, the family orchard, the graveyard, and the village your side turned into a pine forest. Second: "They don't have a right to exist you suggest?" No state on earth has a mystical "right to exist." States are political arrangements. They are born, split, reunify, collapse, get renamed. People have the right to exist. People have the right to safety, dignity, and return. When someone asks "Does Israel have a right to exist," what they usually mean is: "Do Jews have the right to live in Palestine without being slaughtered or expelled?" The answer to that is obviously yes. But that is not what your slogan is doing. "Right to exist" in this context means: "Does a self-defined Jewish state have the right to maintain a demographic majority and political supremacy even if it requires dispossession, siege, and permanent second-class status for the original inhabitants?" That is not a right. That is a demand for eternal impunity. You can have equal rights for everyone between the river and the sea. Or you can have a Jewish ethnocracy. You cannot have both. The "right to exist" language is just your way of avoiding saying out loud which one you choose. Third: "Palestinians have long lived alongside Israel in Gaza strip for millennia" Israel has not existed for millennia. Gaza has not always been a fenced-in strip. You are mashing words together to hide the timeline. For millennia, there were people living in that land: Canaanites, Philistines, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Arabs, and many others in between. What you call "Israel" today is a modern state built in 1948 on top of their continuity. Gaza as we know it now is not some cute example of coexistence. It is the concentrated result of ethnic cleansing. It is where many of the refugees from the villages your side emptied ended up. They did not "live alongside Israel." They were fenced, bombed, starved, and periodically massacred by it. So let me answer you plainly. Israel's "ancestral homeland" is the same soil where Palestinians planted their olive trees, buried their parents, and passed down their houses long before your state had a flag. I am not saying Jews have no place there. I am saying no group gets to turn myth into a weapon, erase the people already living there, and then hide behind the sacred phrase "right to exist" every time someone points to the bodies. If Palestine truly stood as a free, equal land for all its inhabitants, from river to sea, Israel as an exclusivist project would not "stop existing." It would simply lose its alibi.

Why the snide ‘even’ about Singh-Watson voting for @jeremycorbyn, @dpcarrington? Was this you or an editor shoe-horning in a standard Guardian anti-Corbyn tone? May I remind you that more people voted for Corbyn than any other Labour leader this century? theguardian.com/environment/…

Corbyn should be Prime Minister Retweet if you agree

The Grand Old Duke of York, He had 12 million quid, He gave it to a woman he never met, For something he never did.

“Here is a [Labour] party that…is criminalising a non-violent activist group, using the most repressive parts of the state to protect the profit margins of arms manufacturers. If these aren’t red lines for you, then frankly you don’t have any.” newleftreview.org/sidecar/po…

When I said we'd smash the gangs, I meant the gangs of old ladies holding cardboard signs.

Should Sir Keir Starmer at least expel the Israeli ambassador - Tzipi Hotovely from the UK - as a first response to Israel's escalation of the ongoing Zionist GENOCIDE? Please RT after voting - thank you.

I worked for Labour at the time too and have no idea who this guy is. From what I can see, he had a short stint in a junior role in an MP’s office and is now fasley claiming he was a senior party spokesperson. Utter charlatan.

YourParty founded by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana has just reached 600,000 sign ups which is the same as Labour had members under Corbyn before Starmer took over. The biggest party is now twice the size of Labour and Reform UK. Join Here yourparty.uk

Gaza is a graveyard of international law. Israel’s apartheid policies and relentless aggression kills Palestinians with impunity. Britain arms, funds and shields Israel from accountability. The profits of BAE Systems, Elbit and Barclays Bank are soaked in Palestinian blood

A doctor caring for you at 7pm in A&E earns just £18.62/hr They’re asking to move to £22.67/hr (not even all at once) to undo years of pay erosion. @wesstreeting could stop the strikes by offering a credible path to restore drs pay. The choice is his. bbc.com/news/articles/c4g8xq…

NATO says Russia is going to invade? How does it look to you?

Every penny of benefit that goes to someone who is in work is a corporate subsidy. Companies not paying their staff a living wage should have the amount paid in benefits clawed back from their net profits annually by HMRC. AI could calculate that. #CorporateBenefitsScroungers

A warplane flies over Gaza's sky as little Haya sings Bella Ciao. Initially terrified, Haya persists and keeps singing, acompanied by her big sister Yara.

It’s illegal to say I support Palestine Action. So I definitely won’t ever say I support Palestine Action because if I did say I support Palestine Action, I could go to prison. You shouldn’t say I support Palestine Action.

Only he had, hadn't he? And now you look even more of a dick than you usually do. And you're older than 'Magic Grandpa', by the way... *Journalist*🤣🤣🤣

Chief Rabbi conflating Israel with Jewry, an antisemitic canard, which of course is the only way any of this confected nonsense can be made to work. He pulled the same trick with Corbyn. #ItWasAScam

KNEECAP'S Glastonbury set is FINALLY available on @BBCiPlayer 😏 Those BBC editors must have had a tough job making this palatable for the state propaganda channel. Please SHARE so that people see the set they didn't want us to see! @KNEECAPCEOL bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…
