There was a SECOND attack last night from ‘People Against Genocide’ in Doncaster where a thug smashed the windows of a DSV Logistics transport company. This is an epidemic of political violence and the authorities need to get a grip. @ShabanaMahmood

Here’s the Palestinian Youth Movement Summer School. They’re chanting “we will crush Zionism” and “young people, rise up, our revolution is an Arab revolution”. This isn’t in Gaza. It’s the UK. Youth are being PROGRAMMED and radicalised to hate Jews. SHOCKING. @LucyMPowell

This morning Boy George has been banned from Bandcamp where his song fighting Jew hatred was available for download.
Last week, my friend Alyssa Rosenheck had her book launch cancelled because her book is about fighting Jew hate.
Did you hear about the kosher restaurant that was burned to the ground in Montreal this weekend?
And yet, silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence. Silence.

When the CPS decided calling for the death of a group of people was acceptable behaviour, it gave the green light to more people to do it.
We are aware of chanting made by a speaker at the Al Quds protest and will be investigating.
We recognise the concern footage and chanting like this causes, particularly with London’s Jewish communities.
When this language had been used previously we sought advice from the CPS who determined that there would be insufficient evidence to take a case forward.

People tell me it's all a complete coincidence that Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens and Piers Morgan have all gone super critical of Israel and Israelis (Jews). In Piers case, this happened just after he went to a lavish Qatari State Banquet as a guest.

BREAKING: Spain 🇪🇸 has officially withdrawn its ambassador from Israel 🇮🇱 .
Not from Iran, where the regime brutalizes and kills its own people.
Not from dictatorships.
But from the Middle East’s only democracy.
Spain doesn't stand with the oppressed.
It stands with those oppressing them.

Noam Chomsky defended the Khmer Rouge while they were killing 25% of Cambodia's population.
He kept his position at MIT. His reputation kept growing. His books kept selling.
Thomas Sowell predicted this would happen. He explained exactly why it always does.🧵

SHUT THE FUCK UP
We’re not celebrating our country getting bombed. We’re celebrating the death of the dictator and the end of the regime that murdered, raped, tortured, and hanged us for 47 years.
You don’t get to lecture Iranians on how to feel about our own executioners. Save your sanctimonious crap. Where the fuck were you when your beloved idol (Khamenei) massacred 35,000 people in less than 48 hours?
So shut up! SHUT THE FUCK UP

🚨 Important video and must be seen. Also the link for more urgent updates.
In Abdanan, people who had gathered to mourn the victims of violence were met with direct gunfire from security forces.
According to reports, shots were fired at the funeral ceremony and the mourning atmosphere turned into a scene of terror and repression.
This means that even mourning ceremonies are considered a "threat" and are met with violence.
It is important that this event is seen and does not go unnoticed.
That's why we have put ready-made comments in our English channel ✍🏻

We must stop blaming colonialism for the current, self-inflicted wounds of bad policy.
African leaders must accept responsibility for the regulatory mazes they maintain.

Africans in the diaspora sent $96 billion home in 2024.
That is almost double the amount of foreign aid Africa received that year ($55B).
So Africans abroad sent far more money to Africa than all official aid combined.
AND that money doesn’t go through layers of consultants and conferences. It goes straight to families. It pays for food, rent, school fees.
Sometimes it helps someone start a small business.
These Africans did not suddenly become more talented when they moved to Geneva or Texas. They are the same people they were in Lagos or Nairobi.
What changed was the environment.
If African countries offered the same level of economic freedom, many of these people would build their wealth at home.
They would create jobs, pay taxes, and grow our economies instead of sending remittances to help families survive the systems they escaped.
Fix the business environment and migration becomes a choice instead of an escape route.
Some will still leave because they want to explore the world.
Others will stay because they can build successful lives at home.

People throw out the usual excuses for why Africa is poor.
“Colonialism!” “Resource curse!” “Geography!” “Culture” “Low IQ!”
These are lazy answers that avoid the real issue.
The actual reason is that we make it nearly impossible to create wealth.
Want to start a business? Pay fees equal to half your annual income. Wait months for permits. Bribe five different officials.
Want to trade? Face tariffs that double the price of everything.
Want electricity to run your business? Good luck.
You can’t build prosperity when the system fights you at every step.

I feel for her: the Greens have a decent position on Defence - they support NATO and want it to focus on human security / but Polanski, making it up as he goes along, wants to destroy NATO and has started to retweet Putinist propaganda. A decent politician dropped in the 💩by a grifter
'This is an incredibly dangerous time.'
'So you agree we should spend more?'
'I'd have to think about that...'

18 years ago, Parliament voted to abolish blasphemy laws. This year, Starmer’s government is trying to introduce a Muslim blasphemy law.
We can’t let that happen.
The official definition of Islamophobia — now repackaged as “anti-Muslim hostility” — will have a chilling effect on free speech, silencing legitimate criticism of Islam and preventing important conversations about the grooming gangs scandal and Islamist extremism.
In a free society, no religion should be placed on a pedestal or offered greater protections than others. This will inevitably exacerbate community tensions further.
The UK already has laws that protect all religions — including Islam — from religious hatred and discrimination. The government should enforce existing laws rather than waste taxpayers’ money on an unnecessary and dangerous exercise.

It turns out that @mehdirhasan posted a fake photo.
The original photo depicts an Iranian pleading with President Trump for assistance.
“President Trump, please help.”
Mehdi, you’re mocking the agony and unspeakable sufferings of defenseless Iranians. This makes you nothing but a stooge of the cruel Islamic regime, carrying out their dirty work of disseminating false information.
You call yourself a journalist while using your platform to spread such vile propaganda.
Such a pathetic excuse for a man!

HORRIFIC: Iran International reports that the regime has killed at least 12,000 Iranians following the protests on Thursday and Friday nights.
This may be the largest massacre in Iran’s modern history.
What is the world waiting for to speak up?
