To give you an idea of the size of Gaza, it takes 10 hours to walk from the north to the south, about the same as from Newcastle to Hartlepool. 45,000 bombs were dropped by Israel into that tiny space, just in the first 3 months. This is what collective punishment looks like.

Today is #DinaAliDay .

This day in 2017, Dina vanished off the face of the earth

Who is she?
Every woman who ever tried to flee abuse; everyone who ever wanted freedom.
She SO nearly made it;
but powerful men conspired against her.

Then people just…forgot.

But I can’t.

'There are very few who are daring to support the Palestinian cause...'

As Israel's genocide rages in Gaza, Labour MP Margaret Hodge gloats about the cleansing of pro-Palestinian members from the party.

We’re suppose to ‘respect’ people like Mike Katz & welcome them as anti-racist voices when they can’t even be trusted to tell the truth. These people run organisations & produce reports that people unquestioningly quote, yet they consistently lie. Doesn’t that matter?

Terminally unserious people with all the substance of a meringue, who will shatter into a thousand pieces as soon as they face the slightest hint of genuine adversity.

48 long years since the great Phil Ochs left this world. ✊

Out of all the idiotic responses to 33,000 dead in Gaza, I think this standard response (normally from
pub bores like Bill) wins the prize for the most stupid of all. Bill has never heard about history, or the concept of collective punishment & he seems to think it’s all a game.

Incredible how things slip, isn’t it? Collective punishment is a war crime, but, with impunity, Israel has normalised the killing of tens of thousands of civilians & the flattening of whole cities, in retaliation for an act carried out by a group they themselves call terrorist.

Sick pay system is “broken and in desperate need of reform”:

The Covid-19 pandemic showed that our sick pay system is in desperate need of reform, says Trades Union Congress:

They destroyed a whole city. Khan Younis was a city of 400,000 - the Israeli army just turned it into rubble. This is just an unfathomable level of brutality & it’s scarcely believable that we’ve let this vile destruction go on for six months.

We 💯 need to end the normalisation of dishonesty that groups like CAA Campaign Against Antisemitism represent. It’s vital to re-establish the principle that it’s unacceptable to play politics with anti-racism. Running from this played a huge part in the defeat of the socialist project 2015-19.

This is dumb on so many levels. Streeting really is a threat to the NHS.

In 2010 - a decade into the 21st century - the NHS was rated the best in the world:

This is a non-story designed to shift public attention from more serious issues. Even McVey must understand legislation giving paid facility time for elected union representatives to undertake collective bargaining.

The ICJ has yet to fully examine the merits of the South Africa v Israel case but has recognised the plausibility that Israel has committed acts of genocide in Gaza. The Court has recommended several provisional measures that have not been acted upon (and openly violated) by…

There is no “good” Zionism.

It is a settler-colonial ideology predicated on the transfer and massacre of the indigenous population—and the permanent supremacy of one ethnoreligous group over another.

All based on a 3,000 year old “claim” to some land.

It’s an affront to all…

'Working people' here is unmistakably a euphemism for 'white British people, not those uppity minorities and foreigners that Corbyn's lot cared about.' Of course, he doesn't give a shit about white working-class people either, just people who can cut him a fat cheque.
