I had a few tears watching this.
I used to be an addict. Nearly took my life.
This should be mandatory watching in every school.

Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1

The mockery of British elected representatives being detained by a rogue state is disgraceful. Whatever your politics, this should be a matter of principle. Israel must not be allowed to act with impunity. I hope our government condemns this in the strongest possible terms.

I didn't "place rabbi" in front of my name. The seminar where I studied for five years did that and twenty-five years later granted me a Doctor of Divinity degree. I am also a musmach of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi זצ"ל, who was a musmach of the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe in a direct line of semichah from the בעש"ט.
Disagree with me all you want. That's a brilliant feature of Judaism. We don't all agree. If you don't like me as a rabbi, don't ask me your religious questions. That's your prerogative. Regardless of your opinion, I am a rabbi.

Something tells me the media who harassed him into a grave won’t be blasting this all over the front pages.
Arday cleared - again - of plagiarism, but 'mainstream' media ignore...

Your regular reminder women didn't emerge from the womb with a face full of make up and styled hair.
And therefore "feminine" makeup and hairstyles on a man are not "woman face" .

If you are Jewish but have 0 family connections between the River & the Sea, you can move there tomorrow, get citizenship & live anywhere you want in Greater Israel.
If you are Palestinian, whose parents & grandparents were born in Palestine, & were expelled from Palestine by force in 1948, 1949, 1950, 1953, 1959, 1967, 1968, 1971, for example, you cannot get citizenship and you cannot live there because you have P positive DNA rather than J positive DNA.
Make sense?
It’s not so complicated after all, it’s called Apartheid Israel.
“I didn't know that.”
After defending Zionism, @MikeTappTweets is challenged by @ShehabKhan on Jewish people abroad being able to obtain Israeli citizenship while displaced Palestinians cannot return.
His response: “That doesn't sound equal to me.”

This is totally dishonest. The White House didn’t work with Pope Leo XIV on securing this temporary ceasefire.
Leo XIV was involved with this for months.
Even while he was in the hospital recovering from lung cancer surgery, he called Putin and then Zelenskyy.
The pope wasn’t a supporting actor. He was the protagonist.

Uncritical support for the state of Israel will now be compulsory teaching in English and Welsh schools.
While Israel commits genocide.
This Labour Friends of Israel govt is truly dangerous.

I am following with concern the grave humanitarian situation in Yemen, particularly in the city of Taiz, where the population is suffering from a lack of food, water and medical care. I make a heartfelt appeal for hostilities to cease and for the Yemeni people and all the peoples of the region to be guaranteed the right to live in peace.

He’s a fucking racist and there should literally be no debate about it.
This is racism. Plain and simple.

Caroline Graham of the Daily Mail has spent years as Thomas Markle’s “rock solid friend” speaking to him most days, flying to the Philippines at his request, and sitting by his hospital bed providing “care and support.”
The Daily Mail platformed him relentlessly to attack Meghan.
Now reports say his own son found hundreds, if not thousands of child sex abuse images among his belongings in the Philippines and reported it to authorities.
What did Caroline Graham actually know about the man she described as a father figure?
And what did Dan Wootton know after years of giving him and the rest of the family a platform?
Authorities investigating this should be asking both of them hard questions.

Let’s make this racist famous for calling a Black woman a “black bastard” and telling her to “go back home.”

The report explicitly acknowledges that hatred toward Jews is NOT on the rise, and that only anti-Israel sentiments are increasing. And yet they STILL published a review claiming “antisemitism” is a major problem in British schools, because "antisemitism" means "opposing Israel".
Kirsty Clarke retweeted
27 recommendations to the DfE.
Based on 29 Jewish respondents saying yes to experiencing antisemitism.
24 hours later, it becomes government policy.
This is f^cking insane.
