Almost 100 MPs and Peers are urging Ministers to prevent the 'Great Israeli Real Estate Event' taking place in London this weekend. The govt has an opportunity to uphold obligations under international law and take action against Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine.

There's a girl from Belfast who, along with her friend, is offering assistance to minority residents who are afraid to leave their homes to go to the shops or work because of the riots. Bless them.

To answer this as clearly as possible, Hendrick's position on Alpha school simply doesn't add up. People have come to the conclusion that either he doesn't understand the basic issues or his principles are flexible. He has got himself into an almighty muddle:
Dunno why ppl have turned on Carl Hendrick cos he’s doing work with AI. Like even if you think most education AI stuff is gash, to suggest that AI isn’t a big part of the now and future is just silly. There’s also no reason there needs to be clash between being ā€˜evidence informed’ or whatever the term is and being pro safe use of AI in education. Evidence is an ever evolving thing.

For years, Hendrick swam with the current, cheerleading the state-backed reforms to ed systems. Now, he's struck out a new path, he's finding it impossible to articulate his positions. It appears he's more interested in cheerleading dominant movements than being principled.

Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes. Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead. As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence. Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.
Here’s injustice Jeremy Johnson handing down the sentences at today’s disgusting stitched up Palestine Action trial. Any faith I ever had in the fairness of the British justice system is completely is dead.

Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury

In Belfast.. - We saw pogroms - targeting black and brown people - These are riots not protests - It’s criminal acts not an expression of legitimate concerns - These are student nurses presumably doing NHS placements Language matters: stop sanitising what we are witnessing. x.com/Taj_Ali1/statu… x.com/Taj_Ali1/status/206482…

Hala is back! šŸŽ¬ Our junior reporter kicks off day two of GGM Cinema Day. Before the movie starts, she walks through the tent handing out snacks to every student ,turning a simple screening into a real cinema experience. No red carpet, no fancy seats. Just children under canvas, with smiles and small treats, watching a story unfold. That is the magic and Hala helps create it. #WeWillReadAgain
Hala, our Junior Reporter, badge on her chest like a respected professional, introduces the first ever "GGM - Cinema Day" . A screen in a tent. A world away. The children watch and for a little while, everything else disappears. After the movie, Noor walks around with a mic and a question. What did you think? The answers come. Honest, all of them. This is cinema at GGM. No red carpet. #WeWillReadAgain

Netanyahu asks Lebanese if they remember the days when Lebanon was called the ā€œPearl of the Middle East.ā€ We do. We also remember who invaded Lebanon in 1982, besieged Beirut, occupied the south for nearly two decades, bombed our cities, carried out massacres, assassinations & repeated wars. Interesting how Hezbollah is blamed for everything, including Lebanon’s decline, while the Israeli invasion, occupation & destruction that predated Hezbollah’s very existence are simply erased from the story. Hezbollah did not invade Lebanon. Israel did. Hezbollah did not create the occupation. Hezbollah emerged because of it. You also speak as though Hezbollah is not Lebanese. Whether one supports it or opposes it, Hezbollah represents a significant segment of Lebanese society. It has MPs in parliament, ministers in government, & a constituency that cannot simply be wished out of existence. Millions of Lebanese cannot be erased because that makes for a more convenient Israeli political narrative. The arrogance of telling Lebanese to ā€œfree themselvesā€ from other Lebanese while Israeli forces occupy Lebanese territory & Israeli aircraft violate Lebanese airspace daily is difficult to miss. You speak as though Lebanon’s problems began with Hezbollah & Iran. That is historically illiterate at best & deliberately dishonest at worst. Lebanon has suffered from corruption, sectarianism, foreign intervention & political failure. But it has also endured repeated Israeli invasions, occupations, bombardments, assassinations & wars long before Hezbollah became a major force. And now the man whose military has spent months bombing Lebanese towns, flattening homes, killing civilians, displacing entire communities & threatening the country with ā€œanother Gazaā€ wants to present himself as a concerned friend of the Lebanese people. The audacity is staggering. It would be impressive were it not so grotesque. The historical revisionism is even worse. You must be getting desperate if this is the story you are trying to sell.

An Imam’s home was firebombed in Bolton. Fortunately he and his family are safe…. …but where is the media and political outrage? Where are the angry social media influencers? Britain is heading in a very dangerous direction if we don’t stand against ALL racism and hatred

Entire Palestinian communities are disappearing from the map. This is not an accident. It’s by design. New Amnesty research exposes the scale of Israel’s campaign of ethnic cleansing and unlawful annexation in the occupied West Bank. Our new report details how Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign is state-led, and state-sponsored, not driven by rogue settlers or so-called extremist ministers. We’re calling on all states, including the UK, to halt all trade, cooperation and investment relations enabling unlawful occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and impose sanctions on implicated officials Read on: amn.st/6011B8Nr0B

BREAKING: This is Gaza right now. Israel is raining bombs on civilian areas in the middle of the night while people sleep. Not a peep from the complicit international community, of course.

BIAS The same judge who is likely to sentence four young people as ā€œterroristsā€ (even though they were not convicted of a terrorism offence) previously reduced violent far-right racist Tommy Robinson’s prison sentence, overriding an earlier High Court decision! Short thread 🧵

1. The Holocaust was evil, as everyone knows 2. The Holocaust was NOT uniquely evil, as some claim 3. Throughout history there have been other comparable genocides, often carried out by Europeans against indigenous people 4. The genocide in Gaza is not the same as the Holocaust, obviously, but it is in the same moral category 5. The Nazis killed babies, children, women and men BECAUSE they were Jews. The Israelis kill babies, children, women and men BECAUSE they are Palestinian 6. Israel and its supporters weaponise and abuse the memory of the Holocaust, sometimes to close down argument and sometimes even to justify the genocide in Gaza

I'm sure we are all surprised to discover that the Israeli army flagrantly lied, once again, about what happened when its soldiers committed their latest atrocity: shooting dead a baby.
