Who talks like this? For example friends and relatives of Gilad Amir, the terrorist who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin ending the Oslo peace process ..

The mother of one of the Palestine Action thugs just given a heavy custodial sentence says she’s so proud of her daughter. She doesn’t seem that upset and says “with the help of Allah victory will be ours” to shouts of Allahu Akbar. Who talks like this.

He’s actually celebrating the impression that Israel is now a shared enemy. As in: “finally my hatred is vindicated”

For the first time in two decades of polling, more Americans sympathize with Palestinians (41%) than Israelis (36%), a reversal from 55% to 26% in Israel’s favor before to the October 7th attacks. Even 57% of Republicans aged 18 to 49 now disfavor Israel.trib.al/dcUq28Q

Every politician who believes in the rule of law should await the outcome of the legal procedure and the official ICJ ruling on the genocide case, not pre-empt it.
Sarah Wakefield responds to the Palestine Solidarity Campaigns letter stating:
“Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. Every politician who sincerely believes in human rights, international law, and the sanctity of human life should be able to say the same.”

How many of your neighbours served in the British forces in occupied Northern Ireland?
🚨 "Nobody wants to live next to a war criminal" read a public letter signed by the Green Party leader.
It referred to Britons who have served in the IDF.
The activist group International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP), has launched a campaign to end "impunity for British nationals who fought for Israel in Gaza".
It follows a report by the news website Declassified on Freedom of Information requests to the IDF, which suggested that some 2,000 UK citizens have served in the Israeli military since October 7.

Hate crimes jumped AFTER the stabbings and arson attacks. Antisemites were inspired. That’s the shocking reality of Jewish life in this country.

Fake news & disinformation. The genocide libel is based on falsification and ritual vilification. See:
yaronmatras.org/2025/10/05/t…
Andy Burnham says he "can't judge" if the Israeli military's crimes in Gaza are a genocide.
The experts already have.
A UN commission, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and leading rights orgs all agree: it's genocide.
Andy, why won't you call it what it is?

We want an apology for the call “immigration makes our streets unsafe”
Within DAYS of taking office, Andy Burnham commissioned an inquiry into grooming gangs that:
- vindicated the whistleblowers
- exposed institutional cover-ups,
- and led to arrests and convictions of perpetrators who would otherwise have walked free.

It wouldn’t surprise me if proportionally more Germans stood up for Jews under the Nazis than @UoMSALC @OfficialUoM staff members stood up for me when I faced institutional bullying and harassment.

We want an apology for the jive ‘not talking about immigration makes our streets unsafe’ from 2016. It bordered on hate speech.

Maybe they should ‘stage a performance’ showing how Hamas raped and beheaded young women at a music festival? I mean, if it’s the sensation that they’re after ..

several months after I posted this @OfficialUoM deleted Stephen Hutchings' fake news report from its website. Welcome to the post-truth university.

In Sept 2021 I listed the inaccuracies in a personal message to the Head of Linguistics Tine Breban and asked for corrections. In response, Andrew Mullen, Deputy HR Director, withdrew my emeritus status for "damaging a colleague's [= report author Hutchings'] reputation".

Israel’s President Isaac Herzog warned that Israeli society is becoming desensitized to violence, saying it is “creeping into the mainstream,” and said, “We are exposed to disgraceful and ugly behavior by [Jewish] extremists against Christians and Muslims.”

David Miller spews out his grotesque hate-speech with impunity. If he was demonising any other minority in similar fashion, he'd be arrested, charged, denied bail and imprisoned for several years. Why are Jews not afforded the same protections? @antisemitism, @LordJohnMann

One of the Irish Flotilla arrived in Dublin holding an Islamic Republic of Iran flag and calling the ‘Axis of Resistance’ “heroes”. These ppl aren’t humanitarians. They’re propaganda puppets for terrorists and murderous regimes.
