We're against burglary, but arresting burglars is out of the question, and now is not the time to stop supplying burglars with burglary equipment. We must also continue to buy stolen goods from the burglars. And anyone who tries to stop a burglary will be deemed a terrorist
.@peterkyle: "I don't want anybody who is viewing this to underestimate our anxiety about what is happening in Gaza"
Will you impose sanctions on Israel? No
End all trade? No
Halt all arms exports? No
Stop all military assistance? No
Tell us again how anxious you are.
This makes sense if impostor syndrome is when you’re not an impostor; therefore you stop feeling it when you actually are an impostor

@DavidLammy opens up to James O'Brien about having imposter syndrome at every stage of his life, until he became Foreign Secretary.

Baby formula, rice, and flour — an initiative by Egyptian youth who put some food in bottles and threw them into the sea, hoping it would reach #Gaza.

For the past five days, nothing has entered my stomach except a plate of lentils I ate with a spoon alongside my children and wife two days ago.
Today, I had to go wait for the trucks. My friend Abu Omar accompanied me, and we set out. While we were waiting, hoping to get some flour, the tanks started firing.
It was a terrifying moment. I dropped to the ground, only to find Abu Omar’s head in my hands, covered in blood. I couldn’t comprehend what was happening. My heart was racing, and fear made me unable to stand.
My God, a sniper’s bullet had hit him directly in the head. He didn’t speak or move, he just died.
Abu Omar died, leaving his young children who were waiting for him to bring them food.
My friend was martyred in my arms, his blood mixing with my body. Instead of returning with a sack of flour, I came back carrying my friend, with a broken heart, a frail body, and an exhausted soul. I carried him with some young men until we reached an ambulance two kilometers away from where we were. We returned with a sack containing my friend’s body.

1/ As an Indigenous person and rights advocate, I’ve seen a lot of racism. But Ann Coulter’s post: “We didn’t kill enough Indians” is one of the most vile, dehumanizing things I’ve ever seen online. Let’s be clear: this is genocidal rhetoric. Period.

It really is stunning that there's a near-total media blackout on an entire US bombing campaign in Africa. It's not a classified secret that the US is routinely bombing Somalia, it's just almost never mentioned by the American press.

It can't be said enough that we are calling people terrorists who are not remotely terrorists and calling people antisemites who are not remotely antisemites in order to support a genocide that is precisely that, a genocide.
Deranged authoritarianism targeted at people of conscience and in defence of the UK state's support for the gravest war crimes. theguardian.com/politics/202…

Every time Israelis post stuff like this, they're tacitly admitting that the entirety of the Gaza destruction was planned and deliberate.

I asked the Foreign Secretary: what exactly are British air bases being used for during the genocide in Gaza?
He refused to answer.

Sickening to watch BBC News spin-doctoring Britain's culpability and complicity for Israel's genocide in Gaza.
Political editor Chris Mason talks of the UK's growing realisation of its "limited agency" over Israel, while conversely international editor Jeremy Bowen says we are seeing from the government the first demands for "accountability" from Israel.
Neither analysis is true. The British government can do lots to hold Israel to account but is doing none of it, apart from offering empty rhetoric that is greeted with a chorus of nodding heads and mock-frowns in parliament.
The UK can stop arms sales to Israel, stop transfers from its RAF base on Cyprus of US and German weapons to Israel, stop UK spy slights over Gaza to provide Israel with intelligence, tear up trade agreements, impose economic sanctions, ban Israel from cultural and sporting events, and much, much more.
And these two big BBC editors both fail to give expression to what is at the forefront of every viewer's mind: How has it taken 19 months of Israel slaughtering and starving Gaza's children, live-streamed to our homes, for the UK government only now to notice the horror and begin talking about accountability?
