This is an absurd and outrageous decision. What kind of society are we living in where world-renowned authors and campaigners are treated as enemies and threats? The real threat is this government’s assault on freedom of expression. This is not an isolated incident — and the government should know that it is gaining a bad reputation for censorship and repression. We know why the government has taken this decision: because it wants to silence criticism of Israel, as well as its own complicity in genocide. It will not succeed.

A message to those who still believe that it all started on October 7. No, it didn't. A 'managed genocide', to keep 1.5 million Palestinians "on the edge of life" was in force years before. Read the latest report by Eyal Weizman: "A military document called ‘Red Lines’ set the minimum number of calories required to sustain Gaza’s population at a level just above the UN definition of hunger (2100 calories a day for men, 1700 for women and a varying amount for children depending on gender and age). The total number of calories was translated into the tonnage required to feed Gaza’s then population of 1.5 million and thus the number of aid trucks allowed into the territory. The same went for megawatts of electricity and litres of fuel and water. What was seen as good behaviour was rewarded by an increase in the amounts coming in, any acts of resistance by the tightening of the siege, like a population-scale version of a Milgram experiment." lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v48/n20/…

OPEN LETTER: Sally Rooney is a writer, not a terrorist. Her books must be available to the public. Their withdrawal from sale, on the basis of ill-conceived and draconian anti terror legislation, is an affront to basic principles of free speech and expression so long taken for granted in this country. We categorically reject censorship - whether direct or indirect - and urge the government to change course, amending the legislation which has led us to this point of repressive absurdity.

We deserve to know exactly what military, economic and political support this country has provided to Israel. The last government did everything it could to hide Britain’s complicity in genocide. Why is this government following in its footsteps?

The government has officially blocked my call for a public inquiry into Britain's role in Gaza. Delaying scrutiny will not make questions about British complicity in genocide disappear - and we will never give up until we have brought about justice for the Palestinian people.

Every time the BBC airs the crocodile tears of a British zionist who feels “hurt and upset” at being told their ideology is racist, Hind Rajab enters my mind: six years old, trapped in a car with her murdered family, pleading to the Red Crescent to save her.

Ich hab mir gestern #NAZA angesehen. Ich habe noch nie erlebt, dass der komplette Kinosaal während des Abspanns bis zum Ende vor Betroffenheit mucksmäuschenstill war. Es wurde bereits viel über den Film berichtet, ich will das nicht wiederholen. Ein paar Dinge haben mich aber doch überrascht und getroffen. Wir haben ein Monster erschaffen. #Israel ist ein Monster Ich hätte nicht gedacht wie ähnlich sich Nazi-Deutschland und Israel in Ihrer Perfektion der Vernichtung sind. Nazis tätowiertenNummern auf Menschen die sie töten wollten, Israel nummeriert Häuser, die es zerstören will. Diese ganze Tötungsmaschinerie entstand nicht mit dem 7. Oktober. Sie war lange vorher bereits vorbereitet. Der Film berichtet, dass jedes Handy in Gaza genau zugeordnet, lokalisiert, abgehört werden konnte. Dass jeder Sensor verwendet werden konnte. Wie kann es dann sein, dass die IDF nichts vom 7. Oktober wusste? Wie kann es sein, dass sie auf einmal genau wissen, wer ein Hamas-Offizier ist, weil er seine Kumpels mit „Hamas Ahmed“ im Handy gespeichert hat - was Ahmed zum nächsten Ziel macht - aber vorher nichts mitbekommen haben? Die IDF sah sich Familienfotos an um herauszufinden, von welcher Seite man ein Wohnhaus am einfachsten vernichten konnte, sie hörten live ihre Opfer ab, während ihre Raketen sie töteten. Sie warteten gezielt, bis Daddy zu Hause ist, um die ganze Familie auszulöschen - es war einfacher. Das System hieß „Where‘s Daddy“. Wer meine Timeline liest, findet den Bericht dazu schon 2024. Im Film berichtet ein IDF Soldat, wie er in Polen ein Konzentrationslager besucht hat und nicht verstehen konnte, wie Deutsche mit dieser Schuld leben können. Jetzt versteht er es und es geht ganz gut, sagt er. Auf die Frage, ob es ein Genozid sei, zögert er keine Sekunde: „Ja!“ Jeder Interviewte sagte 2 Dinge: er hätte nur Befehle ausgeführt, das wäre seine Rolle gewesen, hinterfragen wäre nicht angebracht gewesen und er wäre ja nur ein kleines Rädchen gewesen. So bringt man Menschen dazu, bei den furchtbarsten Verbrechen mitzumachen. 1940 wie 2024. Dass sie unverhohlen zugeben, Spaß am töten gehabt zu haben, geht dabei fast unter. Eine meiner Sichtweisen muss ich revidieren. Ich hatte bisher angenommen - auch nach den Aussagen der israelischen Politiker und Militärs nach dem 7. Oktober - die Reaktion wäre irrational im Affekt gewesen. Vernichten aus Wut und Rachegelüsten. Das stimmt nicht. Israel wusste von Tag Eins was es tat, tötete gezielt und gewollt. Zerstörte gezielt und geplant, Mensch um Mensch, Haus um Haus. Israel wusste von Tag Eins um die zivilen Opfer. Es nahm sie in Kauf. Sie waren #NAZA - Kollateralschäden.

With her lonely stand for Palestine, Sally Rooney has exposed the contemporary literary world as a nest of cowards and careerists Where are all the Doris Lessings, Harold Pinters, John Bergers, Graham Greenes, Samuel Becketts that once raised their voices against war and injustice? Rooney stands almost alone

censorship...means a society well in decline and ruled by the rogue state of Israel...boycott and censor Israel
More proof of the complete absurdity of the proscription of Palestine Action. What a stain on this government that people in this country are unable to buy and enjoy the work of one of this generation’s greatest writing talents. De-proscribe Palestine Action now.

We remain incredibly grateful to Sally Rooney for writing an afterword for ‘The Gaza Tribunal: Britain’s Complicity in Genocide.’ Well done Sally for standing with the Palestinian people. Your political courage is an inspiration to us all.

I have been a Jew for 91 yeqrs, a Green Party activist for 26. The Green Party is not anti-semitic. We are anti-Israel government because they have murdered thousands of children and are killing and destroying homes in the West Bak. We must do all we can to stop them.
The worst antisemitism I have seen recently are the vile attacks on Zack Labour must be terrified

Breaking News🚨: "If you want to 'David Kelly' me, you'd better come after all of my friends, all of my family and all of my followers. Just who the hell do you think you are?". Veteran broadcaster and Leader of the @WorkersPartyGB goes into overdrive on a one man mission to call out and roundly humiliate, the head of Mi5 and fellow Scot, Sir Ken McCallum. Mr Galloway was not only firing on all of his Dundonian cylinders, but with the truth at his sails, he outed the hapless and tireless work of the state to paint the Russians as our enemy. George's references to those poor souls, 'liquidated' by 'dirty tricks', were targeted as the loudest prevailing voices offering counter arguments to those endlessly espoused by the 'state with the UK state, AKA the Crown.

Many Israeli citizens were killed by Israeli forces on October 7. 28 Apache helicopters used all their ammunition and had to be reloaded. Mainstream media will never tell you about the Hannibal Directive. Here’s our report with @pularjs on what really happened on Oct 7:

This underlines the madness of British political discourse. The Israeli state is boasting about the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon. But the outrage here is all about the Green Party passing a motion describing Israel's official ideology as racism.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: The thorough cleansing that we are carrying out now in southern Lebanon is unprecedented. They have nowhere to return to. Look at how it looks. And by the way, the world isn’t stopping us.

The most immoral army. The army of the deranged ones. Committing the monstrosity of the century. Every day, new brushes of horror.
Prof. Nick Maynard in Gaza says Israeli soldiers not only deliberately shoot children, they likely agree among each other to target different body parts on different days. Just for laughs. One day the doc see shot off ears, next day noses, then hands, other days genitals, etc etc
