"....almost half of Keir Starmer’s cabinet, 13 out of 31 members, have received funding from pro-Israel groups. Foreign policy is being influenced and undermined – not by overt corruption, but by the subtle sway of financial ties and the sense of obligation they create."

Kemi Badenoch on Kneecap at Glastonbury: “As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should not be rewarding extremism.”
As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should be broadcasters of truth. They're not. Badenoch and Starmer can fuck off.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.

But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.
