Great talk showing the hypocrisy of the UK's head rabbi, and vile media figures like Julia hartley brewer when they brand Holocaust survivors and their descendant antisemitic, and when they twist 'Never Again (for anyone)' into 'The Holocaust entitles Israel to freely commit genocide'. #NoGhettos

Palestinians should decide who governs Palestine. They would probably choose Marwan Barghouti but the Israelis fear a moderate, progressive leader and he rots in an Israeli prison #freeMarwanBarghouti

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

"Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Notice the difference? One is personal, human, relatable. The other is a vague, collective noun for a problem. This linguistic dehumanization is what allowed the world to look away from the rubble holding 20,000 children.
