Peace activist, concerned abt housing, healthcare and education. Geopolitics, political economy and international relations. No to NATO, No to culture war.
It's so obvious now why the British establishment pulled out all the stops to end Corbyn's career.
He would have protected the British people from this Tory hell. Protected the Labor Party from far right infiltration and protected the people of Palestine from genocide.
Jeremy Corbyn will go down in History as the last mainstream politician who actually cared about the people of Britain.
Shunning this man is the most stupid and costly thing the populace have done in modern times.
And untold poverty and misery is just around the corner.
Madness.

when she talked about Corbyn and its a scam now, she's talking about these peaceful (mostly Jewish) anti-war protesters.
It's a dangerous game, weaponising hate where there is none.
So....how many times is it now that Rachel Riley has made a cnut of herself.....trying to smear good anti racist compassionate people protesting about the indiscriminate killing of innocents as antisemitic? ...👇

The IDF Just blew up the parliament building in Gaza.
These fascist terrorists are so viciously anti-democratic that they want to eradicate any trace or possibility of a normal life, out of existence, for palestinian people.
After capturing it days ago, the IDF has now blown up the chambers of the Palestinian Legislative Council, Gaza's de facto parliament, in a controlled demolition.
The previous, original building had also been destroyed by Israeli airstrikes in 2009.
@apmassaro3
1500+ Syrians were killed by the earthquake. Syria doesn’t want “donations”. Syria wants Israel to stop bombing its airports, the US to stop looting its oil, NATO to stop burning its wheat, EU to lift the inhuman sanctions and for all hostile forces to withdraw from Syria.
Now everyone can see how important it was that they got rid of Jeremy Corbyn with that trumped up AS smear.
They wouldn't have been able to conduct this

I've been going to protests in support of Palestine since the late 80s.
We've always chanted "from the river to the sea..."
We've always cheered for decolonisation.
We know what we're calling for. Israel doesn't get to turn that around because their propaganda is failing.
This was the UN's 1947 Map of Palestine and Israel.
It shows a Palestine that is free "from the river to the sea".
The UN was NOT calling for the destruction of Israel back then.

Gaza has been in an internet communication blackout for three days. We must keep sharing the horror and war crimes committed by the occupation.

We all know how to stop the attacks & blockade in the red sea.
It stops immediately when the genocide in Gaza stops.
But the americans would rather bomb more civilians in another country than stop the genocide.
The fact that Britain and America would rather bomb Yemen, a country where they created the worst humanitarian crisis on earth, rather than rein in their bloodhound Israel tells you everything about their moral standing, or lack thereof.
The whole world looks on in disgust
On a crowded luas just now a gaggle of drunken young fellas spontaneous broke into "fairytale of New York" as a tribute to Shane MacGowan. After a while most of the tram joined in and others looked on acknowledging our shared humanity & mortality with broad smiles & a few tears.
Harry was right.
All war is organised murder.
But the pertinent question is "organised by whom?"
Who organised the proxy war in Ukraine?
Who organised this genocide war against civilians in Gaza?
Who funds them and who makes profit from the transfer of weapons?
If the ICC Doesn't take serious action against Israeli war criminals quickly they risk further damaging their already tarnished public image.
They issued warrants to Putin for moving "ukrainian children" to safety in Russia. But Netanyahu bombs hospitals and they do nothing?
President of South Africa's EFF party, Julius Malema: “The International Criminal Court must issue a warrant of arrest against Netanyahu.”
How can you bomb a hospital? How can you bomb a refugee Camp?
This is the most racist backwards, offensive analysis of the Palestinian people you will hear today.
This guy denies the Palestinians all personhood, identity, and dignity. It is through this rationale that you can convince people it's OK to kill thousands of innocents.
I truly understand why one might feel sympathy for the Palestinians.
Ultimately, we’re talking about a group of Egyptians, Jordanians, and Saudis and also Iraqis and Syrians who just wanted to take advantage of the economic boom the Jews brought with them to Mandatory
Has anyone else noticed that many of the Western liberal types, who formerly marched and cried for women subjected to Islamic morality standards in Iran, have suddenly lost their voices now that Muslim women & children are being needlessly killed in their thousands in Palestine?

I see antiwar protesters being falsely accused of AS every day by credulous propagandists.
What will we do if real AS ever rases its ugly head again?

I'd really like to know what the antisemitic remarks were, made by Labour Mps. Does anyone know?
Is just criticising this Israeli government antisemitic?
