Just in: IPSO has refused to investigate the Telegraph cartoon of Mothin Ali, the Green Party's Muslim deputy leader, grinning over a knife and fork at the severed head of Zack Polanski, its Jewish leader, who is drawn with a hooked nose. Nearly 1,200 of you complained. IPSO's reason: the cartoon is about two individuals, so only Mothin and Zack can complain. How racist the drawing is doesn't come into it. IPSO did not have to do this, and it has done the opposite before. IPSO's rules let it take up a complaint from people other than the person written about, when the breach is significant, and there is a substantial public interest in looking at it. In July 2023 it used that power. It ruled that Jeremy Clarkson's Sun column about the Duchess of Sussex was sexist, after complaints from two women's charities, the Fawcett Society and the WILDE Foundation. The Duchess did not complain. The Telegraph's editor, Chris Evans, chairs the committee that writes the Editors' Code, which is the rulebook IPSO enforces. The Telegraph is still selling prints of the cartoon today. IPSO's rule says it may take up a complaint like this, not that it must. So this was a choice. Picture a school. One boy draws two classmates, a Muslim boy and a Jewish boy. He gives the Jewish boy a hooked nose and puts his head on a plate, and draws the Muslim boy about to eat it. He pins the picture to the noticeboard and sells copies at the gate. A thousand pupils go to the head teacher. She tells them she can only act if the two boys in the picture come to her themselves. So the picture stays on the board, and every Muslim and Jewish child in the school walks past it each morning. The boy who drew it learns he can do it again. And the rulebook the head teacher is reading from was written by a committee his dad chairs. Nobody would say that head teacher is protecting the children. She is protecting the boy who drew it. That is what IPSO has done. It says it regulates the Telegraph, and it has just told nearly 1,200 people that a racist cartoon in a paper it regulates is not its business unless the two men drawn in it come and ask.

This video of “Muslims” praying on a train in Italy is going viral, but it’s completely staged. This is not how Muslims pray. We perform two prostrations per rak’ah, not four in a row, and praying in shorts is also not allowed. They should at least learn how Muslims pray before pulling this BS.

Angela Levin is asking why Meghan Markle didn’t report her father to the US police. Remember when Angela admitted to Louis Theroux that a nurse had told her Jimmy Savile was abusing disabled children, but she kept quiet and didn’t pass the information on to the investigation team or to the police?

Reassuring to see that almost all of Europe supported Lula. Socialism can win in Europe we just need to get rid of the fascist Billionaire Media and all their political puppets.

A young blonde woman with an American accent in Israel says that all the Arabs must be kicked out of Gaza because it is "our land" since "God commanded us to take it." The Palestinians should be kicked out to any other Arab state, she continues, except Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, "because they are ours." "Or we will kill them," she adds Can we stop pretending that this is a marginal view in Israel? That these are the comments of a fringe minority? They are not. Israel has been on this path for quite some time. Western governments know it fully - yet they continue to fund and enable Israel's genocidal policies.

Il Governo ha perso. A #Napoli la #Polizia si è tolta i caschi e ha sfilatato assieme ai manifestanti aprendo loro la strada. Il #governomeloni ha perso. Condividete tutti queste immagini storiche. #Sciopero #MELONIDISASTRO

Hey @robertshrimsley here’s a Jew who has actually read the report which states that while anti-Jewish attitudes (abhorrent as they are) ‘are less prevalent & have remained stable’ anti-Israel sentiments ‘are more prevalent & have been increasing.’ The methodological weaknesses of some aspects of the report are also indisputable, as anyone who has done any meaningful research would attest. But we won’t let this reality mitigate your & the establishment’s hysteria & your shameful attacks on @owenjonesjourno & others. We live in a world of lies constructed by our mendacious politicians, corporate leaders & facilitated by the woeful mainstream media, which has long abandoned its crucial role in holding power to account.
Relax jews. Owen Jones has decided there’s no antisemitism to worry about in schools. Such a relief we have had him these last years to explain why things that look like antisemitism aren’t. What a mensch

Lula victory speech: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

Everyone needs to know what actually happened in Serbia. Instead of students just protest against their government, the students organized themselves into a student list and ran in elections against their government—and they have just won. Dear Serbia, congratulations on your victory; you have just opened a new door in protesting. This is history

I'm sure the Epstein class always knew what Lindsey Graham was doing with teenage boys. Since he was an obedient slave, they waited until he died to let the truth come out. How many senators, congressmen, and senior officials have similar dirt on them? Most of them?

The War Criminal Campbell has smeared me and @TuckerCarlson tonight on X. When I knew him he was the willing accomplice at the @DailyMirror of Ghislane Maxwell’s father Robert, usually just carrying his hat and coat. So besotted was he with the greatest thief of the century he broke the nose of a Guardian journalist in Parliament for celebrating the fat thief’s trip to Davy Jones Locker. Later he served the War Criminal Tony Blair with similar gusto. He lied and cheated his way through the Blair era, deceiving parliament and people and world opinion equally. None of this has seen him banished from Labour or the great British media and Establishment society, quite the contrary. That he has turned his grease-gun on Carlson and me says more about the Epstein class who still rule than it does about us.

Israel has murdered a who's who of frontline journalists exposing its crimes in southern Lebanon, so I have little doubt it destroyed Radwan Mortada's family home as revenge for his blockbuster investigative documentary on the pager attacks His home was several km behind the Israeli-imposed yellow line, so the occupying soldiers went out of their way to blow it up The photos in @wyattreed13's report illustrate what a devastating loss this is Earlier this year, Israel was destroying 1000 homes a day in southern Lebanon

These are huge protests that started with students and has now grown to include anger over the cost-of-living crisis. The racists will still try to blame it all on immigration. This was Paris today.

Here we have Pierre de Gaulle, the grandson of Charles de Gaulle, saying: "It makes me smile when people talk about Russian interference because it suits our political elites and allows them to avoid telling the truth to the French people. Most of our politicians took part in the Young Leaders program, sponsored by the CIA"

I can't get over what a massive admission this is. If we lived in a world where politicians and media cared about facts, THIS would be the headline story. "ANTI-ISRAEL ATTITUDES INCREASING, ZERO INCREASE IN ANTISEMITISM." The pro-Palestine movement has been so successful in separating opposition to Israeli atrocities from hatred toward Jews that there has been zero increase in public hatred toward Jews throughout three years of genocide. That's an incredibly impressive achievement in activism and education regarding a mass atrocity we're always told is a super duper complicated issue that's almost impossible to understand. This one fact, by itself, completely destroys just about every argument the hasbarists have ever made about the pro-Palestine movement. People who've been taking a stand against the Gaza holocaust have been absolutely impeccable with their messaging, taking great care to help the public understand the distinction between the religion of Judaism and the apartheid state of Israel. If mainstream pundits and politicians actually cared about truth and morality, they would be falling all over themselves to apologize and correct the record on the narrative they've been pushing that the pro-Palestine movement is responsible for a surging epidemic of antisemitism in our society. They would be telling everyone that it turns out there is in fact no epidemic of antisemitism, and the pro-Palestine movement has conducted itself with saintly meticulousness in ensuring that hatred toward the Jewish faith gains no purchase within their ranks or their message. But mainstream pundits and politicians do not care about truth or morality. They care about promoting the interests of a genocidal apartheid state, no matter how many lies they need to tell in order to do so. This is why instead of seeing headlines about the Bell review's finding that there has been zero increase of antisemitism among British people, we've been seeing headlines falsely claiming that British schoolchildren are evil antisemitic Nazis who must be brought to heel. People who support Israel are disgusting, manipulative liars, and the western political/media class are the very worst among them.
Buried on page 30 of 'Sir' David Bellend's report into antisemitism in schools in the UK it explicitly says there hasn't been a rise in antisemitism, only in anti-Israel sentiment. Astonishingly fraudulent crisis/debate, all to shield a genocidal state
