Zack Polanski,
"The only way to be morally consistent is to condemn what happened on Oct 7th and to condemn the genocide in Palestine"

"As a Jewish man I feel the genocide very very deeply"

@nobelprize.bsky.social Trump has:

- Funded and supported genocide
- Vetod ceasefires and aid
- Profited from war (Gaza, Ukraine, DRC)
- Used armed forces on your own people

A Trump resort will be built on mass graves in Gaza. And a Nobel Peace Prize will sit on the mantlepiece.

Don't do it.

Come on, this is just farcical.

Nothing's over. Palestinians are being slaughtered. Now.

The IDF will not stop until they take Gaza. Trump will let them so he gets his development rights.

I've never had so much disgust for world "leaders."

💯. Peace is subjective. For Netanyahu it's the end to Palestine and total Israeli control. To Trump it's Palestinians displaced or killed to make way for development deals.

For Palestinians? An end to genocide. War criminals locked up. The right to self-determination.

We won't get this version.

Peace means more than a ceasefire.

It means freedom from military occupation and apartheid.

It means Palestinians deciding their own future — not war criminals like Tony Blair.

As Israel’s bombs still fall on Gaza, Palestinians celebrate a ceasefire — a testament to their unbreakable spirit.

But peace means more than a ceasefire.

It means freedom from military occupation and apartheid.

It means Palestinians deciding their own future — not war criminals like Tony Blair.

We will keep marching, boycotting, divesting and speaking out until Palestine is free — and until those who enabled this genocide are held accountable for their crimes 🇵🇸

Exactly. It's a move to oppress us, absolutely nothing to do with immigration.

Let's hope so, but I'm not holding my breath. There's not a good bone in Trump or Netanyahu's body.

Netanyahu wants Palestinains wiped off the planet. Trump sees profit in redevelopment rights.

It's disgusting.

Agreed. I fear this will only continue. Either way, it's entirely certain Palestinians will be displaced to make way for a Trump resort, and he'll take a slice of all other development deals.

He's a war profiteer.

Keep the momentum going. Support @greenparty.org.uk if you want a future that puts people and the planet first.

The alternative is rising inequality on a dying planet.

jonathanwilt.bsky.social @jonathanwilt.bsky.social · 2d

The big 3 parties are competing for who can paint the most dystopian, authoritarian picture of our future.

The Greens just need to keep this momentum going, market, and the support will come.

Reform aren't the answer people need. They'll only lock in what's already happening and worse.

Kemi claims “work is the best way out of poverty" on the same day analysis finds an avg earner would need to save almost all of their income for 52 years to become as wealthy as the top 10%.

Individuals working harder won't tackle income inequality; we need a wealth tax now.

Lifetime of earnings not enough for UK workers to join wealthiest 10%, report says

Research finds it would take average worker saving all their earnings for 52 years to match wealth of richest 10th of society

Badenoch is just proving how unconnected she is to reality. And now to propose to scrap ALL stamp duty?

SDLT on properties over £1m is only 4% of all house sales but 50% of SDLT income. ~£4.5B!

Yes, scrap low level and for first-time buyers, but we could build homes for 50,000 people with £4.5B!
