Absolutely wild take.
The killings of two Israeli Embassy workers in Washington on Wednesday cast a harsh spotlight on the pro-Palestinian movement in the U.S. and the impact even peaceful protests might be having on attitudes against people connected to Israel.

There are still people I know who haven't said one word about the genocide in Gaza and to those people I'd say - you sicken me. Honestly. I am sickened by your self-promotiom and your self-motivation. Shame on you for watching mothers and fathers and children burn to death and saying nothing.

The coverage currently on #BBC platforms of the #humanitarian catastrophe in #Gaza is becoming starkly different to what it has been for the last 19 months. The langauge used by 🇬🇧 politicians is also different... Reminds me of 👇🏽 book I recently finished, which I'd highly recommend everyone to read.

David Lammy standing in the Commons, rewriting history. Acting as if this government has done anything other than support and defend Israel.
Don't forget they exported more weapons to Israel than the Tories did. This sudden change of position is solely to cover their own backs

We have met the voting threshold for an industrial action mandate in our fight against the cuts to education being imposed by SNP and Greens councillors.
Anti-trade union law made this seem impossible but we did it!

It is deeply concerning that, despite public assurances, the Scottish Government and COSLA have failed to meet the deadline set for the beginning this week to finally, after four years of stalling, start meaningful progress on reducing class contact time.
