"In the West, Palestinians are immediately associated with terrorism, as Israel has seen to it that they are...There is nothing in Palestinian history, absolutely nothing at all to rival the record of Zionist terror against Arabs, other Jews, UN officials."
Edward W. Said, 1979

Tommy Robinson has lost an appeal against his 18-month prison sentence for contempt of court.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was jailed in October last year.

No accident that the aesthetic here is pure white-nationalist imperial nostalgia. Cisfeminism is a "colonial common sense" (Ann Stoler's term) that animates a recurrent internal counterrevolution in women's liberation. TERFs arent just the Brexiteers of feminism, they're the EDL.

Remember when people were like “even if Biden stops sending weapons, it wouldn’t change anything”
American report:
US has paid over 70% of the cost of israeli genocide in #Gaza!
It is also American genocide!

~70% of Gaza’s agricultural land of fields and orchards, have been destroyed;
None of the wastewater treatment facilities in Gaza have remained intact or functional

'Incredibly Bedfordshire & Oxfordshire saw their wettest month (of any month) in at least 188 years.'

The British Government is still allowing MOST arms sales to Israel despite a partial suspension.
Every MP must fight for a full and immediate arms embargo on Israel.
We need to end our government's complicity in the massacre of Palestinian and Lebanese civilians.

isn't this the same Gordon Brown who precisely played with fire in government though? Have people forgotten "British jobs for British workers" already?
"As long as the so-called moderates continue to play with fire – believing that by keeping their opponent close, they can eventually tame the beast – they will continue to lose."
Spot on from @GordonBrown about the dangers of pandering to the far right.

There's useful content in this piece... but didn't however published it think to ask Brown about his own use of a BNP slogan in his first conference speech as Labour Leader, and what role that might have played in the UK? prospectmagazine.co.uk/polit…
