- @AlexCrawfordSky is doing something fascinating and it is drawing a lot of heat.
She is reporting on Arabs as if they were white people.
"she was 4 years old & called Lamar.. when they found her body she'd been decapitated. Her mother was killed with her"

It's important to understand what is happening here - and what isn't.
This is not standing up for Palestinian rights.
This is treating Israel's legal obligations to NOT commit genocide against a people as NEGOTIABLE.
It is treating the right of statehood for Palestinians as non-absolute, but something that can be bargained with.
This is offering Israel a path to prevent a Palestinian state by simply following the minimum of international law (temporarily).
The UK is essentially offering Netanyahu a more effective and non-controversial path to achieve his goal of ensuring the continuation of the occupation.

I call again for Keir Starmer to stop standing to one side & to use the naval resources UK has in the Middle East to send aid ships directly to Gaza. Let’s see if Israel will fire on us. “State of child famine' - Gaza's deepening hunger crisis channel4.com/news/a-state-of… via @jrug

Empty words cannot hide the truth: your government is complicit in genocide.
We are an unstoppable movement for peace, for justice and for Palestine — and we are never, ever going away.

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

Alongside cross party colleagues I am a signatory to this letter. “Over sixty parliamentarians including Baroness Kennedy, Kit Malthouse, Baroness Warsi, Jeremy Corbyn, Alistair Carmichael, Brendan O'Hara, Carla Denyer have today issued an open letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, calling for the immediate release of the UK government’s assessments on the risk of genocide in Gaza”
“Parliament must know the nature of the government’s assessments and recent assessments and their conclusions should be made public. It is imperative that it is explained to the House how your government has failed to recognise the serious risk of genocide based on current evidence.”
BREAKING: 65 signatories from nine different political parties & independent parliamentarians have signed an open letter demanding full transparency from the UK government on their research and decision-making about the mass atrocities in Gaza.
@amcarmichaelMP @SayeedaWarsi @kitmalthouse @HelenaKennedyKC @carla_denyer @BrendanOHaraMP and many others are challenging @keirstarmer on the government’s assessment of the risk of genocide in Gaza.
The UK has a binding duty to prevent genocide if there is a “serious risk” it is taking place.
It's clear: it's genocide.

The astonishing cognitive dissonance of a health secretary who insists he'll save the NHS - yet kicks the social care crisis into touch until 2028.
1 in 8 medically fit NHS patients cannot leave hospital for lack of social care.
Of course A&E is dangerously overwhelmed 🤷♀️

'On average, the private jets of these 23 superrich individuals emitted 2,074 tonnes of carbon a year. This is equivalent to 300 yrs' worth of emissions for the average person in the world, or over 2,000 years' worth for someone in the global poorest 50%.'

A further $8 billion to pulverise Palestinians into the dust of the stinking rubble the billions already sent have created. This is what the American empire will be remembered for long after the footling Biden & Blinken are gone. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpvn…

Victims do not like having their trauma exploited by people who don’t understand their needs and use them to push their own agenda. It’s re-victimising. If you want to call for changes on behalf of victims, you must work with them and listen to them first. mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/im…

Wes Streeting threatening that the NHS will go bust if his “reforms” (outsourcing) are not accepted
The NHS is not a private company and can’t go bust, so he’s basically threatening to abolish it if he can’t open it up for private health corporate vultures
Also, "choice" ...

Another day in Israel's never-ending genocide: 59 Palestinians killed in Gaza in the past 24 hours. Not a happy new year, it turns out news.az/news/gaza-death-toll…

While we were marking the New Year in safety, Israel continued its genocide-as-usual, killing 17 in Gaza and raiding occupied West Bank towns. Let us begin 2025 with a pledge never to stop talking Palestine until Peace with Justice for all breaks out!

Amnesty International has published a 290-page report analysing 102 Israeli official statements, 212 interviews and a cache of documentary evidence. Its conclusion? “This is genocide.”
