Brits were appalled when police started enforcing the Public Order Act by arresting people who were "conspiring to cause a nuisance".
But that's EXACTLY why people protested against a bill which has been condemned by the UN as incompatible with the #RightToProtest 🧵/1

This video shows why
#ArmitaGaravand, Iranian schoolgirl got beaten by hijab police & killed.
Cameras are everywhere to identify & arrest unveiled women. But see how bravely she was walking unveiled to show her resistance to forced hijab.
She’s a hero.

This simple act of #WalkingUnveiled can get you killed in Iran. I received this video from inside Iran right after the brutal murder of #ArmitaGaravand 16 year old girl by hijab police.
The man says; we must stand shoulder to shoulder by our women and support their civil disobedience. This is how we can say NO to compulsory hijab & Islamic Republic.

If there is such a thing as hate crimes, wouldn’t a hate crime hoax be a hate crime?

It was a hoax, imam. teapawt.net/omarsuleiman504/status…
Another anti-Palestinian hate crime in the United States. Our politicians and media have done so much harm. Please stay vigilant.

CAIR-Cleveland Seeks Hate Crime Probe After Vehicular Assault on Palestinian-American by Driver Shouting ‘Kill all Palestinians,’ ‘Long live Israel’
(CLEVELAND, OH, 10/23/23) – The Cleveland chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Cleveland) today called on state and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate an alleged vehicular assault on a Palestinian-American man as a hate crime.
On Sunday afternoon, an individual in a dark SUV reportedly hit the 20-year-old victim while he was walking on Cook Road on the border of Olmsted Falls and North Ridgeville.
The victim of the reported hit and run said he was walking home from eating lunch when a car slowed down and rolled down the window. The driver of the car allegedly started yelling at him using anti-Palestinian statements like “Kill all Palestinians,” “Long live Israel,” as he swerved his car to intimidate the victim. The driver then allegedly turned around and hit the man while shouting “DIE!”

This is a confirmed hoax. No one was struck by a car and no racial slurs were uttered. The alleged victim and his brother were both arrested in connection with the false allegations and released after an initial court hearing.

Last month, Muslim group CAIR and various influencers made a story go viral about a Muslim man in Ohio who said he was seriously injured by a car driven by a person who screamed "Kill all Palestinians" and "Long live Israel." Northridge Police investigated & determined it was a hate crime hoax. They say they found surveillance footage showing he actually was injured in a fight with his brother.
Hesham Ayyad (the alleged hoaxer) & Khalil Ayyad have been charged with domestic violence and assault. Hesham is additionally charged with falsification, making false alarms & obstructing official business. Muslim Americans have long been involved in numerous high-profile hate crime allegations that turned out to be hoaxes, especially since Trump was elected. #HateHoax teapawt.net/CAIRNational/sta…
An individual in a dark SUV reportedly hit a man in Ohio before shouting "long live Israel" and anti-Palestinian slurs at him. We urge law enforcement authorities to fully investigate this disturbing attack and charge the perpetrator with a hate crime.

By October 2020 scientific advisers on Sage have been pressing for tougher restrictions as Covid cases start to rise sharply. New measures (rule of six then tiers) are brought in, but not a full lockdown until 5 November. Cx below = Chancellor Rishi Sunak.

Monday should be VERY interesting at #covidinquiryUK as Sir Patrick Vallance, then chief scientific adviser, gives evidence. We've already seen extracts from his private diaries or evening notes - described as a 'brain dump' to protect his mental health. Let's take a look... 1/n

The same day and Sir Patrick and Sir Chris Whitty don't like idea of doing daily news conference as know they'll be asked about Cummings. Vallance says comms chiefs Lee Cain, James Slack plus civil servant Martin Reynolds tried to convince them but they got out of it in the end.

One last one for you. By Jan 2021 we have a vaccine. First line refers to plan to vax 15 million by Feb 15 etc. Mention of the 'pro death squad' at treasury is (jokey?) reference to the fact they are the ones pushing for opening up fastest. Wants complete unlocking by September.

By mid Dec England has emerged from 4-week national lockdown and back into the regional tier system. Clear Vallance is again frustrated with decision-making. Here he's saying one minute Johnson is dismissive of Covid risks, the next he's advocating tougher tier 3 restrictions.

All of us in the UK who are not Jewish - an immense, an overwhelming majority - have a responsibility in these troubled times to make our Jewish fellow-citizens feel valued & safe. A responsibility that clearly right now we are failing to meet. It shames the country.

As a (secular) Jewish leftie, and longtime critic of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians, I thought people were conflating such criticism from the left with antisemitism.
I now see I was terribly wrong.
There is rampant, raging racist Jew-hate on the left.
I’m so very sorry.

Number of war zones visited by 45 previous presidents without US military protection: zero. Number visited by President Biden: two. The guy has courage.

When people successfully run for high office because they have committed crimes and want to avoid prison, they ruin rule of law at home. The narcissistic focus and ensuing chaos is horrible for national security.

More attention should be paid to the sadistic delight Russia takes in cooking up its disinformation tropes. It is now expending a good deal of energy accusing Ukraine of arming Hamas while Iran, which actually arms Hamas, is providing Russia with weapons to kill Ukrainians.
