No money for children living in poverty, for our crumbling public services, to fight against racism directed at people of colour and Muslims from the far right etc.etc.etc.

But plenty for Zionists to manufacture excuses to shut down protests against genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid…

particularly callous and inhumane detail here. these people never gave a fuck about Jews

"In September 2020 “Gordstein” was one of three complainants against Riva Joffe, an 80-year-old Jewish veteran of the anti-Apartheid struggle in South Africa.

Her sin was to have described Israel as an Apartheid state (a view shared by Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and the Israeli human rights organisation B’tselem) and to have urged Jeremy Corbyn to stand up to the “Zionist lobby.”

The Labour Party opened a formal investigation and Joffe spent the closing days of her life penning an immensely dignified response from her death bed. “This frenzy of purging you are driven to – it’s not the behaviour of mature adults. It smacks of desperation, fear and panic,” she wrote.

Joffe lived in Starmer’s constituency and knew him personally. But a direct request on behalf of her son that the charges against her be posthumously dropped did not even elicit a response."

Israeli leaders screamed their genocidal intent at the top of their lungs all the way through.

No crime in history has been so confessed to as it actually happened.

But almost all Western media outlets suppressed this.

Kudos to @scotnational.bsky.social for not being one of them.

Why are sex offenders drawn to Tommy Robinson and why is he silent about their crimes, in some cases defending them?

For someone who says his mission is about ending rape and abuse, he has a very long trail of sex offenders amongst his friends, followers and allies. If Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Len…
