Please don’t use my Jewish identity to try and shut down protests that are calling for the end of a genocidal war. This conflation is what fuels antisemitism, please stop

Zack Polanski saying what every politician should be saying,

"It's problematic to weaponise the synagogue attack to silence protest in this country against the genocide in Gaza"

"These are separate things and we should condemn them both"

This should be obvious to anyone not blinded by their hatred of Abbott and the Labour left. Meanwhile, the Forde report - commissioned by Labour's NEC - found that anti-black racism and Islamophobia were not taken as seriously as antisemitism within the Labour party, and it was never mentioned again

Oli Dugmore on Newsnight: "Its not to say that Jewish people [or] Irish people don't experience racism, but if your skin is a different colour to other people, the way racism manifests against you is different, and I think most fair minded people would accept that point"

'The song ‘Holiday In Gaza’ (2012), is a tip of the hat to Dead Kennedys that also proved to be shockingly prescient. “It’s unbelievable because Trump has started talking about exactly that” - turning the territory into the “Riviera of the Middle East”.

First they came for the transes, and you said "Fuck the transes, they're weird"...

Remember, until a few years ago it was almost unheard-of for a woman to be charged with procuring an abortion. Now they have "new national guidance" on how to hunt them down.

"Police have been issued guidance on how to search women’s homes for abortion drugs and check their phones for menstrual cycle tracking apps after unexpected pregnancy loss"

"...police could bypass legal requirements for a court order to obtain medical records..."

For so many of us, the images are unavoidable. Our social media feeds are full of Palestinian death and dehumanization by the Israeli military.
