This is not a detainment camp in World War II, nor a prison in the Holocaust, this is Gaza. A chilling reminder that history repeats. A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent

This is absolutely insane. The suffragettes used far more extreme tactics than Palestine Action. They planted bombs, burned down private homes and smashed up art galleries. They killed five people! Her outrageous judgement is based on absurd historical ignorance.
The Lady Chief Justice: Palestine Action was not a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes, but used violence to destroy property The suffragettes burned down country houses & train stations, bombed churches & sent letter bombs to politicians.

Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.

"Judge Johnson kept the jury in the dark of his plans to sentence the four as terrorists. This is the first time in British legal history that anyone has been sentenced as a terrorist for damaging property." Please RT until this is both the 1st & last time. Thank you.

Another elderly peaceful Palestine Action anti-genocide protester has just been arrested outside Woolwich Crown Court for holding a sign. The utter fiasco undertaken by the British state to protect Israel at the expense of its own citizens goes on unabated.

The world's first trillionaire is backing the far right mobs and their politician backers. Don't think for a second that these men have ordinary people's interests at heart.

It's pretty disgraceful that there has been absolutely no mention of this from the Prime Minister. It's increasingly clear that some attacks, correctly, warrant disgust, emergency measures and days of media coverage. Others seem to be met with silence.
Greater Manchester Police have issued an appeal for information after a suspected arson attack on the home of an Imam in Bolton last night. Footage shows a masked man throwing a lit object through a front window. The Patel family were safely evacuated by emergency services and no one was injured. Police said they believe the incident was targeted and are investigating. In a statement, Hassan Patel said the attack has caused "significant damage to our house and emotional distress to our family, including our children.”

We face a binary choice, apparently. It’s between feeding kids, or having them gunned down in the street by Russians.
Lord Alan West: "Its all very well having nice spending for breakfast for children at school.. but if that means.. you have Russians stomping down your streets shooting the children who would have been having breakfast.." Russians killing your kids. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities. I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs. God help this poor woman.

Meanwhile the indolent Secretary of State @lisanandy and clueless @ofcom sit on their pudgy hands and do absolutely nothing.
A GB News presenter repeatedly insists "there weren't riots" in Belfast last night... 😳 This is what GB News advertisers are aligning with 👇

Richard Burgon just exposed the most glaring double standard in British policy "Imagine if this weekend in London there was a Russian real estate event selling Ukrainian land. The government would ban it immediately. Instead, we have an Israeli real estate event openly advertising the illegal sale of land in occupied Palestinian territories. The government recognizes Palestine. Why isn't this banned?"

"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.

We're seeing a clear pattern from Reform now. We saw it in Southampton. We've seen it in Belfast. They're all over social media and the airwaves with inflammatory and provocative language. Then when violence occurs, they go to ground.

Dress it up however you like - this racist violence has been deliberately whipped up by far right politicians & their cowardly wannabes in the supposed mainstream. You are either fighting against the anti-migrant narrative or you are with these thugs.
"We've seen police officers and firefighters having to actually rescue families from those buildings, bringing them out through the flames." Dan Johnson, BBC News correspondent, describes the violent disorder taking place in Belfast this evening. #Newsnight

These aren't protests. They're racist riots. And it's time for the government to take them seriously. The PM should be convening COBRA and setting out a real plan to end this horrific violence and bring communities together. Now is a time for real leadership.

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame. Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.
The rioters have set a house on fire in Belfast.

You see these scenes from Belfast? That's our future if Reform, Restore, the Tories, GB News, Elon Musk and the right-wing media get their way. Except this will be on a much bigger scale. We have to decide: do we want those inciting hatred to destroy our country?
Residents had to be evacuated from their homes in east Belfast following fires. Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service officers attended the scene at Lendrick Street on Tuesday night. Live updates: tinyurl.com/4xdm7tzu 📸: PA

BREAKING: Israeli settlers are burning Taybeh in occupied Palestine. A village that has stood for thousands of years. A place where Jesus once walked. Home to the oldest living Christian community in the world. And not a peep from Western mainstream media.

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write. This is the article: volkskrant.nl/kijkverder/v/2…
