#AstonVilla/Maccabi #Starmer and #Badenoch can see an #AntiSemitic plot where none exists. The ban is on travelling #Maccabi fans who have a history of violence. There is nothing to stop #Jewish football fans from attending - you're not asked your religion at the turnstiles.
#BBCNews The Israeli Premier League derby between #MaccabiTelAviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv was cancelled before kick-off on Sunday, after what police described as "public disorder and violent riots".

Makes the comments of #Starmer and #Badenoch about #Antisemitism look very silly
#AstonVilla/Maccabi #Starmer and #Badenoch can see an #AntiSemitic plot where none exists. The ban is on travelling #Maccabi fans who have a history of violence. There is nothing to stop #Jewish football fans from attending - you're not asked your religion at the turnstiles.
#BBCLauraK #EdMilliband and #ClaireCoutinho are both RIGHT and WRONG about #WindFarms. We MUST build more - they are clean & don't consume fuel.But buying electricity from energy companies is wildly expensive. UK should build and own, using profits to fund pensions and other state spending
#R4Today Before criticising #AstonVilla over the ban on #MaccabiTelAviv fans, #Starmer and #Badenoch might consider whether its right for #Israeli teams to be allowed into international sports whilst their fellow invading nation - #Russia - is banned.
#R4Today Well done #DanielLevy for explaining that #Israel, as usual, went along with the #TrumpPeacePlan to get what they wanted - #hostagerelease - but with no intention of committing to any long term settlement with #Palestine and other neighbours. Back to square one.
#Netanyahu says "our #IDF fought like lions" Does blowing up whole cities, homes and hospitals & murdering tens of thousands of #Palestinian children constitute 'fighting'?
#BBALauraK This is supposed to be a serious political program - what are #PrittiPatel and #NadineDorries doing on it?
#BBCLauraK Asking #NadineDorries about diplomacy is about as nutty as asking #BorisJohnson about celibacy!
#BBCNews #SharrenHaskel says #Israel only ever wanted peace and stability. Tell that to the #Palestinians in the #WestBank whose land has been stolen at gunpoint by #Settlers, supported by #IDF
#IsraelPalestine Newspapers ranging from #TheGuardian and #FT in #UK and #DailySabah in #Turkey report that both consumers and investors are now boycotting #Israel on #Ethical grounds. Now the world can see the extent of devastation in #Gaza, the boycott can only grow.
Couldn't agree more, but its difficult to see who will pressure #Israel to withdraw behind their legitimate boundaries.
#BBCNews It really will be a great day for the world if the #TrumpGazaDeal leads to #Israel finally being able to rid itself of #Natanyahu, who kept the war going to stay in power.
#BBCNews The reaction to agreement of #PART1 of the #TrumpGazaPeaceDeal seems massively overdone and possibly designed either to sway the #NobelCommittee or to distract from questions about #Epstein. What's agreed simply takes us back to the #Ceasefire deal in March which #Israel reneged on.
#R4Today Ironically the people who are most obviously not integrated with modern #Britain are #Jenrick and #Badenoch
#R4Today #Starmer thinks #Pro-Palestine demos are "Un-British" but it was the empathy of ordinary #Brits' for downtrodden minorities that led to so many #Jewish refugees to come here and be welcomed as members of our community. Support for #Palestine is the very essence of #Britishness
#R4Today Why does #BBC keep talking about #Jenrick? We already know his thoughts and don't need any reminders
#BBCLauraK #MsBaenoch obsesses about the #smallboatrefugees but they are a small percentage of #NetMigration. Why not talk about the great majority of #Immigrants who come for #Education or to take up jobs with, for example the #NHS?
#BBCLauraK #BenHouchen is peddling the #Pro-Israel line that violence in #Palestine began with #Hamas. #Palestine has been suffering #Occupation and #LandTheft by #Israel for over 70 years. Don't misrepresent #Resistance
#BBCLauraK What we learnt from #PennyMordaunt's rant against #ProPalestine demonstrators is that she is trying to find a way back into #Parliament and is trying to appeal to the #Tory right wing
#BBCLaurak Oh dear, #PennyMordaunt obviously doesn't get the humanitarian concerns of so many #Brits about the #Genocide being conducted by #Israel - she sees the #ProPalestine demonstrators as being "self-absorbed" when in reality they are displaying the exact opposite
#R4Today #ShabanaMahmood asks us to imagine the position of #Jews in #Britain but can SHE imagine what it is like to live in #Palestine and suffer decades-long #Occuation, #LandTheft and killing of #Civilians?
#R4Today Whilst appreciating the practical reasons for #Police asking for the #PalestineAction march in #London to be suspended we should ask:would the #IDF consider pausing the killing of #PalestinianCivilians in #Gaza which it conducts remorselessly every day.
