I still cannot believe UK Lawyers for Israel pressured Chelsea and Westminster Hospital to remove artwork created by Palestinian children in Gaza.
Shame on the NHS for allowing it.
Their artwork was not a threat.
Imagine, adults bullying children. Revolting really.

The "five Israelis" were on-duty IDF soldiers, by the way. Seems like an important detail to include.

I am so disgusted with these people

Dear Americans, remember this on November 3.
Mariupol. Mass graves. Thousands of innocent Ukrainians.
“Frankly normal” to your leader.
What does your vote say about you?

Basic education piece:
Not all Jewish people are Zionists.
Lots of Zionists aren't Jews.
The Board of Deputies largely self identity as Zionists.
The Media often report the Board of Deputies as the opinion of Jewish people.
Yet many Jewish people say #NotInOurName

9 million students in the UK
50k are Jewish
37k go to Jewish only schools
We are all being fucked over to avoid the delicate sensitivities of a few thousand people because ISRAEL IS COMMITTING GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE.
What the hell is happening here?

Been teaching for 18 years. I have seen, heard, & heard of, instances of sexism, homophobia, & racism against PoC at work. But I have never seen, heard, or even heard about a single instance of antisemitism. In 18 years. This is now industrial strength gas lighting. Madness.

There are estimated to be up to 60,000 Palestinians in the UK. As far as I know, they would be the only people banned from wearing their national flag at school. This is obvious racism.

Antisemitism is serious.
That’s precisely why it should never be weaponised as a political football. Labour doing so should disgust people across every community.
And all this while they continue to arm a genocide and lock up pensioners.
Antisemitism is a cancer in our politics.
We fought hard to root it out of our party.
We will not stand by and watch it infect public life again.

If Sally Rooney was donating the proceeds of her books to the IDF she'd be fine to sell them in the UK.
Despite their heinous crimes.
This is the dystopia we live in.
All for Israel.

When I voted against proscribing Palestine Action, I warned there could be so many draconian consequences.
We've had the ridiculous arrests of thousands for simply holding a sign.
And now this against one of the best writers of her generation.
This ban needs to be overturned.
Sam Swindells retweeted
I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party.
I'm a victim of Antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party.
You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide and locks pensioners up for opposing it.
Andy Burnham rules out any partnership between Labour and the Green Party due to their controversial motion declaring "Zionism is racism".

Apparently Sally Rooney is Antisemitic because she opposes genocide.
People in Ireland are Antisemitic because they oppose genocide.
This is why Andy Burnhams comments yesterday were so deeply irresponsible - blurring all the lines between being Jewish & criticising Israel.
Sam Swindells retweeted
Manchester marched tonight
One voice:
‘We will never be blind to genocide’
End the ethnic cleansing
End the occupation
Stop the genocide
Israel 🇮🇱 is a rogue state
Stop selling 🇬🇧 arms to 🇮🇱
Ban 🇮🇱 money from 🇬🇧 politics
Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN now.

This man will go on long rants about how Tory policies have ruined farming and his village, then proceed to endorse them.

Robert Jenrick is chasing a guy who stole a bottle of Coke worth about £2, but this is the same Robert Jenrick who helped his mate avoid paying £40 million in tax when he was Housing Secretary.
