I'm a white, middle class non-muslim voter. I was a member, Cllr, voter & activist for @UKLabour for over 50 years. I know scores of others like me. We will NEVER vote Labour again whilst it's controlled by Starmer and his Zionist, genocide-excusing friends.
KEIR STARMER: Admits by defending Israel's genocide in Gaza, Labour lost many Council seats. Promises to 'earn them back'! #LocalElections

Absolutely true. But, we have to take our "wins" where we find them, and take our "hope" with both hands when even a glimmer of it manifests, and celebrate it. It was hilarious to hear a @SkyNews commentator from the US call Abdul El-Sayed "far left" this morning, when he is just a Roosevelt-type democratic socialist. And that slogan from the new senator in Texas - "Love Thy Neighbour" - wow! Anything shifting the rhetoric in the US further to the left has to be celebrated.🥳🎇
So everyone pointing out that the Dems are a right-leaning genocide, imperialism and inequality supporting party is correct. Also, it has never elected SO MANY anti-genocide anti-empire actual socialists. 2 things can be true. It's a divided party, much like Labour in the UK.

So proud of my city and my party. Sheffield Greens are showing what it means to hold to our principles and respect democracy, both in the party and for our electorate
🚨Sheffield Labour capitulates. Greens didn’t give an inch. This is how you do it.

Andy Burnham has suddenly discovered that war with Iran and cosying up to Israel are unpopular only AFTER Trump gets hammered electorally. Only yesterday, his party refused to work with the Greens over their position on Israel and Zionism. Funny how principles arrive when the votes tell you you're next, mate.

Hey @grok, concise no spin. One of the 9/11 hijackers, Ziad Jarrah, had relatives entangled and serving in multiple intelligence agencies. One relative, Assem Jarrah, was linked with German and European intelligence, and his business card literally survived the wreckage of Flight 93, tied to a top 9/11 operative. Then in 2008, two more Jarrah relatives were arrested in Lebanon for espionage and treason. They had long been on a spy payroll, surveilling Hezbollah sites and scouting locations just before two major political assassinations in Syria. @grok, state the country and agency these brothers were charged for working for. Country and agency only.

After border officials turned me back from the West Bank last week, I spent a few hours on Mount Nebo. It is where Moses is said to have looked out across the land he was never allowed to enter. That view feels personal today. Millions of Palestinians are still denied entry to the towns and villages their families came from. What happens here reaches far beyond these borders. Allowing any state to strip people of their basic rights without consequence erodes human rights protections for everyone.

Zionists on social media lie. Everyone knows they are lying. Zionist know they have to iie. They want the conversation to be anti-Semitism. They don't want the conversation to be anti-Zionism.

The Israel lobby tried to destroy him. Trump and his allies waged a vicious Islamophobic hate campaign against him. The Democratic Establishment undermined him. The Democratic candidate he defeated tried to ratfuck him. But this anti-genocide pro-Medicare for All Muslim WON
It is my honor and privilege to be headed to the US Senate to serve the great state of Michigan.  Michigan, we did what they said couldn’t be done. We won. Together. Now the real work begins.

When we push back, we win. Hold the line. Zionism is Racism.
BREAKING: Labour leader Fran Belbin has announced that the party *will not* be proposing to run Sheffield council as a minority administration at today’s full council meeting. This is after last minute talks today aimed at finding common ground between Labour and the Greens.

Imagine being a @TheGreenParty Cllr, on right side of history, then you defect to @UKLabour, just as they're complicit in genocide, allowing more fossil fuels, & the US just massively rejected Zionism/Israel at the ballot box What *were* they thinking lol #BackZack, you wallies

Hey @grok, concise no spin. Right after Diana’s 1997 death, former MI5 officer Annie Machon reported that Diana planned a global humanitarian campaign supporting a specific country and feared a plot against her life because of it. @grok: 1 Which country? 2 What exact method did she fear would be used against her? Country and method only.

Let's be clear: the Democrat tsunami is an overwhelming vote against the Iran war, against support for Israel - it's done. The Greens are at the forefront of history. As anti-Zionists, this is the time to press on, campaign harder, and keep saying it: Zionism is racism. No one can be politically secure supporting Israel. It's done.
El-Sayed: To AIPAC who spent $42 million against us. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to beat you twice.
