Devastating Fergal Keane piece on BBC News (UK) 10 just now, using an American medic’s footage from Gaza. Children nearly dead from starvation-gaunt, lifeless, cadaverous. Unimaginable suffering for innocents.

In a monstrously hypocritical & immoral move, the US Votes to keep the starving and slaughtered Palestinians in a limbo of stateless serfdom

The United States blocked the U.N. Security Council on Thursday from moving forward on a Palestinian bid to be recognized as a

This makes extremely grim reading. The terms 'genocide' and 'ethnic cleansing' may conceivably be open to debate, but the term 'Occupied Territory' simply reflects the legal status of Gaza and the West Bank in International Law. The New York Times is siding with extremists like Ben Gvir &

Lord Ian Austen points out that Israel is capable of surgical strikes and would never indiscriminately rain down missiles or send drones against innocent civilians... apparently forgetting that Israel has done just this for six months in Gaza slaughtering 33,000 Palestinians

In the run up to I remember the vilification of the women protesting for their basic human rights. We now commemorate & celebrate those protestors. A century later the ruling party is still vilifying protestors - and history will again judge the protestors

Mr Galloway also said that Britain stands 'at a very dangerous crossroads', adding that it's 'perhaps as dangerous as since the summer and autumn of 1940/41, and there's no Mr Churchill in this picture' to 'unite our people'.

'It's not for the unelected prime minister Rishi Sunak to pick the MP in Rochdale.'

Newly sworn in MP George Galloway says that the people of Rochdale elected him with a 'thumping majority' that the 'governing party didn't even come second'.

He is right. A vicious ‘culture war’ scapegoating Muslims and taking away civil liberties is being unleashed by a failed govt which is supporting a genocidal war abroad.
I, alongside others, have had some political differences with George Galloway MP but the issue of genocide

This is not self defence. It is uncontrolled vengeance, indulged by weak and cruel MPs in UK Parliament. Who have the temerity to accuse those calling for the end of this slaughter extremists. 13,000 babies killed and still that is not enough to move their chilled hearts:

The sudden outpouring of concern about the dangers caused by public protest against the slaughter of Palestinians should be ridiculed as the self-serving nonsense it is.

The political and media establishment now whipping up fears for the safety of MPs – so they can continue

Good to see this public acknowledgment and rare apology. But what does it say about how poisoned UK politics is and fear of offending Israel supporters that the Archbishop had felt the need to publicly refuse to meet with Palestinian Christian priest in first place?

Rather than denying Israeli soldiers massacred a crowd of starving Palestinians, Israel’s National Security minister just… admitted it.

Not only admitted it.

Celebrated it.

And used the massacre to justify calling for the little aid getting into Gaza to end altogether.

'It's the biggest cycle of protest there has been of mass protest in British history but there has been a tiny number of arrests...there is not a single example on any of our demonstrations of any violent incident towards a bystander of any kind, whether a politician or anyone

As one of the MPs for Sparkhill I am expecting an apology for this utter drivel. My kids hang out in Sparkhill day and night, never had a moments worry, I go there weekly and live literally 5 minutes walk from there and used to live there myself.

Once again Peter Oborne nails it: UK politicians are whipping up an anti-Muslim panic. Where’s the evidence? middleeasteye.net/opinion/uk-cla…

So true. Directing fear and hate towards Muslims is the go-to tool for cynical politicians. Adopted across the political spectrum now, not just far-right. Today we see it in Tory Liz Truss & Suella Braverman’s hysterical statements, & the lies of Labour Speaker Lindsay Hoyle

Hard not to see this through the lens of GBNews owner Paul Marshall’s private Twitter feed, riddled with the vilest Islamophobia. He’s spending millions of pounds a year to buy bigots like 30p a platform to spew hate. Imagine a Labour MP talking like this about a Jewish Tory.
