The goal has nothing to do with Hamas, it is to eradicate the entirety of Palestinian civic life. It is ethnic cleansing. Genocide.

Rising antisemitism since 10/7 is very real and alarming. We want to be clear: holding Jews around the world responsible for Israel’s actions is antisemitic and should be condemned outright. All people deserve to feel safe wherever they live. 1/7

Last night, over 400 UK Jews and allies gathered in Parliament Square to say: our government must not use our community’s pain to justify further bloodshed. We demanded: Stop the genocide. Ceasefire now. Release the hostages. End the siege on Gaza.

Working class folk in Torry have long paid price for Aberdeen’s prosperity - encircled by heavy industry, sewage works & incinerator. Now @Scotgov’s decided not to block development of last green space as Energy Transition Zone. Is that just? @fittick thenational.scot/politics/23…

10 years ago today, Rana Plaza collapsed, killing more than 1,000 garment workers. The tragedy exposed the dire conditions in much of the world's fashion industry – and the corporate elite which profit from them. tribunemag.co.uk/2023/04/rem…

BREAKING: Na’amod went to Westminster this AM to protest the Govt’s draconian Boycott Bill. The bill will ban non-violent protest for Palestinian human rights & is being justified as a way to ‘protect’ Jewish people. This bad for Jews, bad for Palestinians & bad for democracy! 📣
