BREAKING : Israel is dropping bombs on tents full of civilians in Rafah right now.

Entire Palestinian families are being massacred, but Western media wants us to be concerned about students peacefully protesting against this genocide on US campuses.

636 primary school classes. Imagine that.

That is the number of children who have been reported killed in Gaza by Israeli forces.

It's sickening. It's reprehensible. There can be absolutely no justification for this.

and those responsible must be held to account.

14,500 children have been reported killed in Gaza.
50,000 children are acutely malnourished.
Over 1 million children are in need of mental health and psychosocial support.

This situation is incomprehensible, and urgent action is needed.

In 1962, we organized sit-ins to end racist policies at the University of Chicago. In '63, I was arrested protesting segregated schools. But we were right.

I’m proud to see students protesting the war in Gaza.

Stay peaceful and focused. You’re on the right side of history.

Maybe, just maybe, the mainstream media can focus a little less on colleges for a moment. Maybe they can take their cameras to Gaza and show us the emaciated children who are dying of malnutrition due to Netanyahu’s policies. Maybe they can show us the suffering going on there.

Once again I’m deeply disturbed by Islamophobic quotes given to the media by 'Labour sources'.

When politicians are confronted with racist bile, it should be immediately condemned.

As a party we need to listen to and acknowledge concerns, not hold British Muslims in contempt.

Amazon's wealth should not be built on unsafe conditions for the warehouse workers who make it all happen. Together we can demand an Amazon where the price of home delivery is not workers' injuries.
Great to see action in the US Senate to for unsafe conditions

Fascinating how people have an issue with masked protestors but not masked police officers unleashing rounds of rubber bullets at unarmed nonviolent protestors.

Capitalism is built on the meritocratic idea that everyone gets what they deserve in the marketplace. This May Day, let’s reject that idea — wealth creation is a fundamentally social process, and the rich have no right to hoard all the resources and power.

As ever comrade Daniela Gabor is ahead of the intellectual game. What does make Shafik tick? The community of Columbia University needs rather urgently to know.
