Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!

A fundraising email sent by AIPAC that says:

Dear [REDACTED],
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has announced her retirement, and Illinois' 9th District will have an open primary for the first time in decades. Wasting no time to enter the race is anti-Israel detractor Kat Abughazaleh, a 25-year-old "social media influencer". Kat does not mince words when it comes to her thoughts on Israel and the bond between our two nations. Her radical foreign policy agenda includes:
• Calls for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state and labels Israel's presence in the West Bank as an "illegal occupation".
• Baselessly blames Israel for the deaths of "tens of thousands" of Palestinians, without recognizing Hamas' initiation of the conflict on 10/7/23.
• Promotes the International Criminal Court, a biased, antisemitic institution targeting Israel under the false guise of justice.
And she's not just loud, she's well-funded - Abughazaleh has already raised nearly $1,000,000, positioning her as the financial frontrunner in the early stages of this race. If we don't act now, she could win.
She poses a direct threat to our mission and the future of Israel's security.
Fortunately, we have a fighter of our own: Illinois State Senator Laura Fine.

So good of Macabbi Tel Aviv Club to tell fans they cannot buy tickets for the Aston Villa match!!

Almost as if they’ve given Starmer a huge ‘get out of jail free’ card!!

They can see the risk, but can't do anything about it because their boss - Netanyahu- has given them their orders.

And here's the thing - you are practically inviting a riot to take place now - because those intent on making a point will do so.

Nandy and Starmer should be for the chop as should every other MP who supports this ridiculous plan

Indeed, a nasty politician. Her comments resonated with supporters of Welsh independence too, demonising the Catalan people, who whilst peacefully campaigning for independence, were brutally assaulted by the authorities. No surprise that she’s still twisting the truth to serve her own narrative.

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them

Keir Starmer's Labour is just a re-branded Tory party; like when Hermes re-branded as Evri and somehow managed to be even worse than it was before.

We talked about this tonight and said that in any other Western European country Farage + Johnson would be in prison as they’ve both sold out on their country: it’s treasonous.
Also let’s never forget the RW press/media are in this crime scene up to their necks.
