The onus is on the party committing genocide to stop committing genocide

The onus is not on the victims of the genocide to sign agreements in the hope of saving themselves from the genocide

Were Russia to kidnap and torture British citizens, would that simply be "a matter for the Russian government", in the view of Starmer's office?

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.

Robert Jenrick complained of ‘not seeing another white face’ in part of Birmingham

Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on 90-minute visit Robert Jenrick complained about visiting an area of Birmingham where he “didn’t see another white face” and said it was not the kind of country he wanted to live in. After highlighting the lack of white people, the shadow justice secretary said it was not about “the colour of your skin or your faith” and he wanted people to live alongside each other.

I grieve over the designation of any practical effort to stop the slaughter in Gaza as “terrorism”.

I grieve over the condemnation by politicians and the media of my grief as “antisemitism”.

Shock and horror as two killed by attacker at Manchester synagogue.

Continuing indifference at the arrest of 1,700 people on terrorism charges for peacefully opposing British participation in a two-year genocide that's killed and maimed more than 100,000 children in Gaza.

I spent 12 years working with the survivors of St. Anne's residential school in their attempt to get justice. The government spent millions fighting people who could barely afford the bus ride to the hearings.
There is no reconciliation without justice for St. Anne's.

Pay attention to the language that will be used by much of the media.

The Global Sumud Flotilla never entered Israeli waters.

They are in international waters attempting to reach Palestinian waters.

Israel is once again breaking international law

I personally will never tell Palestinians what deals they should accept or what they should do to address their abuse at the hands of the empire. My job as a westerner is to oppose the western empire that is butchering them, not to finger-wag and moralize at the empire's victims.

This means that it is now Labour’s official position that Israel is committing genocide.

While at the same time, the Labour government continues to arm that genocide

Look it's very obvious what a threat these two small children posed to the heroic, tooled up soldiers of The Most Moral Army™....

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.

Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.

But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.
