@Jonathan_K_Cook
This should give some comfort to the families of remaining hostages … at least they’ll know they are not being, raped, tortured or abused. Do so wish we could all believe that Palestinian ‘detainees’ were in safe hands too. But the evidence shows a different story. 😔
@ori_goldberg
I’m tired today Ori. It all feels hopeless. Looking like Israel is planning to escalate to an all out massacre in Rafah, shielded by the US, who continues to run cover with lies about the ceasefire. I don’t think the worst can be stopped now. 💔
@KufiyyaPS
… this was a clear act of terrorism by Israel. I’ve heard also that an entire Aljazeera crew was arrested and their equipment destroyed. So
@BBCNews
why did you give Israel airtime this morning to promote their usual lies that it was all about Hamas?

Forgive me if I don’t weep. I don’t know how to weep for Israeli prison guards, or soldiers, or police officers, or settlers stealing more land.

@SirAlanDuncan
nobody should be sitting in the House of Lords, being paid by UK taxpayers while advocating for a foreign state. That is outrageous, he needs to go.
@alon_mizrahi
ICC judges appear to have been successfully ‘intimidated’ in relation to Israel. There are no words for the pain of that realisation. The consequences will be dire. 😔
@SaulStaniforth
Feels like we’re living in a parallel world where nothing our politicians say or do bears any relation to what’s actually happening. It’s as though they think it’s all about Iran, nothing whatsoever to do with what’s happening in Gaza. You’re on the wrong page
@David_Cameron
@declassifiedUK
Was wondering how long it would take the UK to trot out the ‘unhelpful’ word. Israel might not recognise the ICC (wonder why that is 🤔)… but I believe the UK does and it’s outrageous that you blatantly challenge its authority here
@AndrewmitchMP
. Shame on you.
@QudsNen
This should be a matter of real concern for all of us, both in the US and the UK. The reputational damage for our government’s complicity in Israel’s war crimes will be long-lasting.

was one of the first to spout lies about the events of October 7 on mainstream media, which she has not retracted, even though they have since been reliably debunked. I conclude that she is happy to let the lies stand because they suit the narrative she supports.

Sorry, our Labour Party wasn’t created as a vehicle into our politics for Zionism, but, sadly, that is what it’s become. We are all against antisemitism, of course we are, but anti-Zionism is not antisemitism and it’s not the role of OUR Labour Party to be obsessive about that.

… where will these people go? Is there a plan? Has Netantahu told you, or anyone, how he plans to ensure 1.4 million civilians are safe and have their basic needs met? This is urgent now. These people are afraid.
@ori_goldberg
I am so sorry … It must be really tough going against the prevailing narrative. Voices like yours must be heard though, because it’s only those moderate voices that will ultimately save Israel from itself. I applaud you Ori.
@Winterswann
@QudsNen
…I wish we were, but there’s too much verifiable evidence to believe what you say. Even the US has applied sanctions for settler violence in the West Bank. I think you are being lied to.
@QudsNen
is this guy for real? Are the families of the hostages and those Israelis who died on 7 October listening? Or is it just me who thinks they might be interested?
@MiddleEastEye
If true, this is disgraceful
@Keir_Starmer
@DavidLammy
… you led us to believe that you would not impede the ICC in its deliberations and that you would uphold international law. Did you lie to us?
@Jonathan_K_Cook
I think there’s far more skeletons in the closet vis à vis Israel and what it’s ‘got on us’ than we could imagine … can’t think why else we’ve thrown ourselves under the bus so comprehensively.
@Tracking_Power
Is this true
@RishiSunak
@David_Cameron
… so we were complicit in the slaughter of 210 Palestinians, mostly women and children, plus the deaths of an unknown number of Israeli hostages in order to ‘free’ 4? I have absolutely no words. Except total disgust. … cont’d
@ICJPalestine
please, please… someone, somewhere do something to protect innocent civilians, men, women snd children, in Palestine. These people are of our world, they are important, they need us. One day we too might need someone to fight for us.
@Kahlissee
I think it’s very clear now. The hostages were never supposed to get to Gaza alive. They have impeded Netanyahu’s genocide. He’s having to admit that now. Gives much credence to the theory that 7 October was a false flag engineered by Mossad. History will record the truth.
@OborneTweets
honest opinion? I am a 70 yr old white born and bred english woman and I think the only solution for ALL of us in the UK if we don’t soon get a better choice, will be a revolution … I stand with Muslims and everyone here in the UK … those are my UK values and I’m proud of them
@johncusack
Thank you John … every word is true. What Israel is doing in Gaza is just a cowardly attack on unarmed people who cannot escape. That’s how and why everyone sane knows it is not a war, it is ethnic cleansing and genocide. Isn’t it
@David_Cameron
@RishiSunak
@windsorvillhelm
pure hypocrisy to project that onto our government buildings and yet scream antisemitism at the pro-Palestine image projected on to Big Ben. And when the first are committing genocide on the second …. I just have no words that wouldn’t get me suspended on here. So I’ll stop now.
@SuppressedNws
Israel’s IDF has to be the most cowardly but arrogant ‘army’ in the world. Nobody else would announce that they dropped 5 heavy bombs weighing a ton on a tented, designated ‘safe zone’ full of civilians on the off chance they might get lucky and catch an elusive target. 😔💔💔🇵🇸
@alon_mizrahi
I think we truly are all becoming ‘Khamas’ … who can fail to understand how and why a violent resistance movement gained traction, when having to deal with such violence. Sorry but I no longer define them as ‘terrorists’… even if my government does.
@brookebay21
Watching
@AJEnglish
reporting on the trauma and exhaustion in Gaza as people try to flee in the heat, half starved to nowhere safe. It’s unbearable to witness, how in God’s name can they survive? I hate Israel with a passion I didn’t know I had.
#PalestinianLivesMatter
💔💔🇵🇸
@Jonathan_K_Cook
it is truly astonishing that this is exactly where we are in 2024. Heartbreaking for Gaza and frightening for the rest of us to know that as we’re dragged ever closer to WW3, we can no longer expect to be protected by ‘international law’, because it’s been binned.
@David_Cameron
@skjask
… you’ll need to ‘educate’ me here, far as I know, Gaza hasn’t had a seaport since October 2000 … bit confused about the ‘marina’ and ‘yacht clubs’ you mention. Think you’ll find Israel has the Gazan coast blockaded 6 nautical miles out … only fishing allowed, no yachts.
@BladeoftheS

@LBCNews
absolutely not … she framed her question from a position of undeniable fact. Was she sacked because she didn’t let him dictate the question? Was she sacked to appease Zionist arrogance? We expect better

@DalrympleWill
Israel acts with total impunity and just spouts lies to ‘shut the world up’. We see what they do now, we don’t believe anything they say about anything. What a wonderful reputation they’ve earned for themselves, sadistic murderers and blatant liars. The world is done with Israel.
@artmaltman
@Resist_05
you are wrong, Hamas is not the problem, it’s a symptom of the problem. The problem is Israel’s brutal occupation of the Palestinian territories. Even if Hamas is defeated, if the apartheid oppression and occupation continue there will be another Hamas, and another, and another.
@ori_goldberg
Paints such a gloomy picture Ori, can ordinary Israelis really not see that they are being led along a path of self destruction? Are they really living in such a closed world?😔
@DalrympleWill
@David_Cameron
what are we saying about this? How are we going to get to a two state solution while this goes on? Israel clearly has no intention of allowing that and you know it. So why aren’t we recognising Palestinian statehood unilaterally?
@Jonathan_K_Cook
It’s unbearable but there’s little doubt that this is the grand ‘plan’. What do you think
@David_Cameron
? Is it all just a foregone conclusion? 🤬🤬🤬
@SkyNews
@MattBarbet
@AviHyman
why is Sky News giving a platform to someone who continues to repeat the ‘butchered babies’ lies? Not trying to subvert public opinion are we

Thank you Jonathan, makes me so sad that such atrocities are systematically denied not just by Israel but also our elected leaders.

@Andre__Damon
@georgegalloway
This is shocking
@SecBlinken
… is this true? Whatever is the US thinking of? Did anyone do any research into the effects of those in a densely populated area like Gaza? I wouldn’t have believed this 😔😔😔
@Jonathan_K_Cook
this is disgraceful, isn’t it
@David_Cameron
? Nothing’s working because israel doesn’t want anything to work. As they said earlier, they want to get the population down to a ‘manageable 100,000 or 2’. Is that why they’ve ordered 30,000 tents? Thinking that should be enough?
@orielishamiller
@Ori
… Israel is a ‘cuckoo’ state dropped in the middle of Palestine by the British in 1947/48 … since then, it’s done what fledgling cuckoos do … try to kick out the indigenous population, sorry if you find that offensive, but it’s the truth …look it up
@ShaykhSulaiman
in other words, as we said right at the start, and certainly once the 7 October atrocity lies were debunked, it was never about Hamas (which Netanyahu was still funding on Oct 7), it was always about expanding Israel. I have no words for our complicity in this
@David_Cameron
@OwenJones84
well said Owen, the situation for women in Gaza is unimaginable. I do so wish we could stop nattering on about inconsequential trivia and just imagine walking in those shoes for one single day.

Well said Sayeeda, what hope is there though when so many of our MPs are ‘friends of Israel’ … it all feels so hopeless 😢 Thank you for trying.

exactly that … and when not that I’m trying to make sense of the hysterical accusations of antisemitism every time someone says something, anything, deemed to be critical of Israel … feels like the western world has gone mad
@Lowkey0nline
@LeftUnityParty
it’s so strange to me that human outrage against the slaughter of innocent civilians is recast so seamlessly as ‘anti-semitism’ … why do these people have to make it all about them? Says so much about paranoia & the absence of basic humanity
@Jonathan_K_Cook
We should not have to pay for what is effectively a state propaganda channel. It should be government funded… get Lammy to cough up, most of the news bias seems to fall into his area.
@AdameMedia
Amazing that nothing has changed … except that Western governments were calling it out then. We should be ashamed we’ve done nothing to stop Israel’s atrocities in all this time. On the contrary, we seem now to be very firmly in the grip of the Zionist perpetrators. Shameful😔😔
@Chilliebeanz
no surprises, it’s what the Zionists fo best, play the victim, turn everything inside out and accuse the opposition of the crime they themselves are guilty of … gets boring tbh 🥱
@OwenPaintbrush
totally sickens me how these celebrity Zionists living in London think they are ‘entitled’ to claim Palestinian land … while living in London. Meanwhile … in Palestine, people have NOWHERE to go and are being slaughtered. It’s obscene, isn’t it

@margarethodge

@JewishLabour
But we liked the old Labour Party, the proper one. The one that stood for British workers, British values. What use do we have for a Labour Party that stands for Israel, will always put Israel first? I’m confused.
@SayeedaWarsi
thank you Sayeeda, strong words, much needed. The narrative being spouted that Hamas just need to release the hostages and lay down their weapons for the fighting to stop is a fiction and we should all be honest about that now. Netanyahu will not stop. He has to go.
