Has anyone done a block zionists list? No way do they deserve any kind of response after all the war crimes, apartheid, plausible genocide, atrocities, enforced slow starvation of Gaza, forced displacement, ethnic cleansing, continued settler attacks on villages, torture n rapes of prisoners. . .

When Starmer and company said there was no need to march because of the current ceasefire (even though Palestinians are still being killed) more people turned out than ever before! Keep marching! Keep protesting Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians! This whole thing ain’t over!!

IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.

Huge congratulations to Maria Corina Machado who has won the Nobel Imperialism Prize for steadfastly supporting Israel's genocide and calling on the US to invade her own country so she can be installed as puppet leader while Trump takes Venezuela's oil ♥️

The award of the now largely discredited Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan US puppet Maria Corina Machado is a prelude to the US ramping up its attacks on Venezuela. If Trump couldn't be given it - because he is a blatant warmonger - then they had to give it to one of his allies.

Tonight Newham Labour councillors voted unanimously to reject full divestment of Newham’s pension fund from complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

@newhamgreens.bsky.social and Newham Independents fought strongly but Labour blocked it.

We won’t stop - now we take the fight to the ballot box.
