In 1870 Marx wrote: βThis antagonism (betw English βindigenousβ & immigrant workers) is the secret of the impotence of the English working class. It is the secret by which the capitalist class maintains its power & the latter is quite aware of thisβ. Whatβs changed since then?

Last week @keir_starmer was asked about the UKβs ongoing supply of war plane parts to Israel. Starmer hid behind the US-run spare parts βpotβ for the f35 which, somehow, insulates the UK from complicity in genocide
We learned a good deal about this βpotβ in our legal action π§΅1/

Itβs all well and good to do forensic journalism now. But when scrutiny was most needed, when Israelβs intent and actions demanded serious interrogation, your focus was on whether a pro-Palestine chant was antisemitic.
When Israel needed cover, you provided it.
If you saw the image of a small girl walking through a building on fire in Gaza and couldnβt bear to watch further hereβs her story from last nightβs #C4News. She survived. But her family are dead :

Dear friends, I kindly ask you not to ignore my plea.
My family and I, especially my children, are going through extremely tragic and harsh conditions.
We have nothing left to eat and are facing a real famine that threatens our lives.
We are in urgent need of purchasing flour, but its price is far beyond our means.
Any support, no matter how small, could be the reason we survive this painful reality.

#C4News find the girl escaping the fire in the burning classroom after an Israeli strike
"I walked through the fire all by myself"
"The rubble fell on them (her siblings)"
"I want to see my sisters, to be with them, but they're dead"
"I want to be with them"

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but if 2 million living breathing human beings can be marked for destruction and starved to death at the center of humanity's attention with the perpetrator enjoying international support, WWII may be over, but Nazism has not been defeated

TW: rude words ahead.
I've been on a *lot* of left wing demos in my time.
We wanted to *smash* the BNP, to *kick out* the Tories, to *fight* Alton's bill, to *stop* various wars, and Clause 27, then Section 28, then the Poll Tax, and we marched *in solidarity* with miners, and with refugees who we wanted to *welcome*.
You can argue with each of these causes, of course.
I don't recall chanting to *punch* *fuck* *shit on* *piss on* or *burn* anyone, including *bitches*
I know I'm getting old, and I may have misremembered, but there might be another explanation.

The importance of the performative nature of Israeli genocidal killing for global capital is that it normalized the erasure of surplus populations. Trump's flipancy in discussing ethnic cleansing is as a result of this normalization. It will happen across the globe

Many companies are complicit in Israelβs genocidal war against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza. All peaceful popular efforts, including boycott and divestment, to hold these entities accountable for their support of Israelβs crimes against Palestinians are justified.

I think the fact that Welby said Jeremy Corbyn repulsed him on the eve of an election yet was happy to turn a blind eye to a prolific child abuser says all u need to know about him π€π€π€π€

After aid trucks entered a shelter & reached the families in Beit Hanoun, the israeli waited for them leave, then killed the people & burnt the aid

"Don't bother, it doesn't matter any more. We're waiting to die."
Messages of Palestinian colleagues in Gaza on what to say to our politicians communicated by @rohantalbot of @MedicalAidPal to @CommonsIDC.
Israel is committing the crime against humanity of extermination in Gaza

Antony Blinken says its time for Israel to end its war.
The US administration has enabled this 'war' through its diplomatic, financial & military support to Israel. It could have stopped Israel at any time, but it didn't. This genocide is Americas as much as its Israels

.@FranceskAlbs has spoken truth to power and, in response, faces endless deranged and defamatory remarks. In reply, she re-centres Palestine: βI am not the story.β
She will be remembered as a hero. Those defaming her will be remembered as criminals and genocide-deniers.

I just read about a 50yr old woman on UC asking DWP if sheβs allowed to buy a new mattress. Because people on UCβs bank accounts are being monitored, they even have the power to withdraw money from your account. So whyβs no one trying to get the Β£Bs of PPE back, whyβs no one monitoring their accounts? Benefit fraud is Β£1.4b. But PPE fraud was more than Β£13b. Whatβs up with that? Iβm SICK of #OneRule

I'm glad you said that John. I detest the phrase "the fallen", these kids did not "fall" they were killed. Good progress will only come when those who wage war are forced onto the front-line along with all the other cannon-fodder.

A little child carries her wounded sister, her tiny arms trembling under the weight of a brutal reality. The image pierces the soul, a heartbreaking testament to the terror raining on Gaza. What more words can describe this horror? This is Israeli terrorism in plain sight, and the world remains silent. #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine #EndTheOccupation
