Great to see my jewish brethren out and loud on the London streets opposing Israeli govt abominations and UK govt collusion with genocide 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Over 600 people turned up to yesterday’s Foreign Office protest led by Jews & Israelis from Mi-neged and
Na'amod to demand SANCTIONS NOW on Israel.
The UK government must do everything in its power to stop the destruction, deliberate starvation, and genocide of Gaza and its people.

A mass exodus from Labour to the Greens is, at this point, the only hope for UK electoral democracy.
Otherwise, its government by influence of powerful interests.

Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?
