JUST IN: Abdul El-Sayed (D) wins Michigan Senate, becoming the first Muslim senator in U.S. history.

Fact check: Labour are arming a genocide.
Andy Burnham and Ed Miliband offer apologies over Gaza - but continue to arm a genocide.
Labour call those who oppose the genocide - even those of us who are Jewish - antisemitic.
More and more people see through this absolute charade.

“This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war”

I started off pretty pro-Israel. The first crack came when Netanyahu wouldn't let the United States send Ukraine two Iron Dome batteries the U.S. Army had bought and paid for, because Israel holds a veto over transfers of the system to third countries. His explanation included the fact that Israeli pilots fly "right next to Russian pilots" over Syria. That made me pause. Four months later, after October 7, those same batteries went to Israel.
Since then, my view of Israel has grown progressively darker. By the time the UN was warning that famine in northern Gaza was imminent, I opposed Israel's continued military campaign. When Netanyahu talked Trump into dragging us into a war with Iran, I started seeing the Israeli state, as currently constituted, as sinister. And the massive, continuing campaign by pro-Israel money against Abdul El-Sayed, more than $30 million to stop him in the primary and fresh spending now that he's the nominee, has radicalized me against any defense relationship with Israel going forward.
Plenty of my fellow Americans seem to have traveled the same road. Six in ten now view Israel unfavorably, up from 42 percent in 2022. And this year, for the first time since Gallup started asking in 2001, Americans don't sympathize more with the Israelis than with the Palestinians.
None of this has anything to do with Judaism or with how I feel about Jews. To suggest otherwise is to defame my character, and I resent and reject the suggestion. Everything I've listed is an action, and every one of them deserves my ire if I have any commitment to my stated principles at all.

This is why they were killing journalists.
This is why they refused to allow international journalists into Gaza!
They didn't want us to see this!

We were nearly killed two days ago.
Settler-terrorist Tomer Liani bashed my head against the ground repeatedly, then the IDF and police blocked the ambulances and prevented hospitalisation.
All because we caught the settlers locking locking a gate to more than 20 Palestinian communities, trapping entire families.
We exposed Tomer Liani, Shimon Atia and Nevo Nadalski directly committing crimes against humanity in Masafer Yatta, and we were punished by the Israeli police and court for this.
Israeli state terrorism in the West Bank is at its peak, and the authorities are doing everything to keep Palestinian voices silent.

This video of Israel using silenced weapons to murder 15 medical workers who are clearly in ambulances, and then they buried them and their ambulances to cover up their War Crime was released 18 months ago.
Of course it was completely ignored.
DONT LET THEM.

Starmer shook the hand of a head chopping terrorist and welcomed him into number 10.
Burnham will do the same, all while pensioners are being prosecuted and accused of supporting terrorism.
These politicians are the real enemy of this country.

UK police arrest 94-year-old human rights lawyer Margaret Owen outside the US embassy in London for protesting against genocide and for Palestine. There is no democracy in the West. There is only capitalism, imperialism, and fascism.

Israel. Anonymous IDF soldiers testified to Breaking the Silence about a 2014 Gaza incident in which troops shot an approaching elderly civilian, left him writhing, fired extra rounds into his legs “for the hell of it,” then used a D9 bulldozer to bury him under rubble.

JUST IN: 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 The head of Mossad just admitted that Israel was behind the protests in Iran.
Told you so. Mossad was literally posting online during the protests that they were in the field.
The U.S. also admitted that the currency collapse that preceded the protests was intentionally done by them.
Almost everything mainstream media and politicians tell you about Iran is a lie.

Hi David @DavidTaylor85
You really should be careful about using your position to come after me, because once you do that, people are entitled to look at your own record.
You've gone after the BBC over my appearance and questioned why I was given a platform.
Let's look at your record.
•You backed the proscription of Palestine Action.
•You went after Francesca Albanese and opposed the renewal of her UN mandate.
•You've defended Labour Friends of Israel and pushed back against scrutiny of pro-Israel influence in Parliament.
•You've attacked the Green Party and Zack Polanski over their position on Palestine and Zionism.
•You even opposed parliamentary wording referring to "accusations of genocide" in relation to Israel.
And you've described Israel as a "lone beacon of democracy, freedom of speech and rule of law" in the region, while it disregards international law, refuses to work with Palestinian Arabs and kills journalists.
So forgive me if I'm not going to take lectures from you about who should or shouldn't be given a platform.
You have a very clear political position on Israel and Palestine. That's your right.
But when you then use your position as an MP to put pressure on the BBC because I was given a platform, people are entitled to ask whether this is really about "standards" or whether it's about the fact that you don't like what people like me say.
And if you want to abuse your political power to scrutinise me, I'm going to scrutinise you right back.
Hemel Hempstead should know who you REALLY are. Is the kind of MP they want representing them.
It’s encouraging that the BBC has admitted they were wrong to invite Bushra Shaikh onto one of their programmes.
But given her well-documented views in support of the Iranian regime, it’s still incredibly alarming she was invited.
Thank you @Telegraph for covering my letter.

21 years ago, British journalist Tom Hurndall died after spending 9 months in a coma.
Tom was carrying a Palestinian child out of range of Israeli army gunfire when he was shot in the head.
We will never forget him, nor his vision of a free and independent Palestine.

The Israeli elections disprove those who criticise the new policy of the UK Greens that Zionism is Racism based on the wishy washy liberal notion that the word “Zionism” is vague or “means different things to different people.” Simply untrue.
Opposition leader and unindicted war criminal Gadi Eisenkot has ruled out working with Palestinian-led parties elected to Knesset because they would not meet his conditions of what he calls a “Zionist government.”
Moldovan settler and far-right former minister Avigdor Lieberman similarly ruled out working with the Arab parties as he said he would only join an anti-Netanyahu coalition which consists of “only of Zionist parties.”
Zionism is a VERY SPECIFIC, concrete and uncontested ideology — Zionism is settler-colonialism and Jewish supremacy. The only people who want to claims otherwise are a) liberal cowards or (mainly) b) gaslighting Zionists who know exactly how unpopular Zionism and simply want to prohibit opposition to Zionism so try to muddy the water with nonsense ideas about this murderous racist ideology being an “identity” rather than the insidious political ideology that it truly is.
Zionism’s is racism. Always has been and always will be.
