This is so strong and clear.
You can't help but notice that if this was in the UK context - you wouldn't be able to get a single one of these sentences out without a journalist barracking the person saying it constantly.
The UK media is in quite a state.
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Labour today said it was sending fighter jets to protect an authoritarian government that dismembered a journalist with a goddamn bone saw.

True. Israel will shoot them in the head, starve them to death, or incinerate them in their tents no matter how little they are.

Apparently Sally Rooney is Antisemitic because she opposes genocide.
People in Ireland are Antisemitic because they oppose genocide.
This is why Andy Burnhams comments yesterday were so deeply irresponsible - blurring all the lines between being Jewish & criticising Israel.

It’s reported today that Sally Rooney, who many believe is one of the best authors of her generation, has been advised that because she has expressed support for Palestine Action she could be arrested if she comes to the UK. Because she is donating some of the money from the sale of her books to Palestine Action her publishers have been advised that they too could be prosecuted if they sell her books in any form and so they have removed them from the bookshelves and other outlets. I do not want anyone in the UK to miss out on her wonderful writing and so I thought I would read the first paragraphs of her terrific book “Normal People.” I hope others will read further sections of the book so that people do not lose out on the joy of reading h her works.

I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party.
I'm a victim of Antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party.
You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide and locks pensioners up for opposing it.
Andy Burnham rules out any partnership between Labour and the Green Party due to their controversial motion declaring "Zionism is racism".

The sight of pensioners being handcuffed for holding up signs opposing genocide is a stain on this country.
Hundreds of Labour MPs trooped through the voting lobbies to approve it.
Not Green MPs or peers. Greens stand by our principles.
We say: deproscribe Palestine Action.
Zack Polanski has called for Palestine Action to be de-proscribed.
It was met with huge applause from the audience at the party conference in Brighton.

Keir Starmer has been gone for two months now.
Why is his ridiculous attack on free speech and peaceful protest still in place?
Labour. Different singer. Same old tired song.
BREAKING: 94 year old Jewish human rights barrister, Margaret Owen arrested under the Terrorism Act outside @andyburnham’s Labour Party conference.
UK taxpayers are funding these arrests while masked men terrorise the streets in coastal towns.
Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

"I found myself somewhere else."
Here's a thought: you could have voted against it.
Emily Thornberry has said she was absent for the vote to proscribe Palestine Action as she “happened to have other things to do” and didn’t see evidence that convinced her to support a ban.
The Labour MP and chair of the foreign affairs select committee spoke to Novara Media’s @michaeljswalker at the Labour party conference on Monday.

Ed Miliband said “I want to say to the millions of people in this country, who have been moved & outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people, we hear you. You were right.” Then deproscribe Palestine Action, release the prisoners & stop
arresting people for holding a placard.
Liverpool Irish Socialists 🇮🇪🇵🇸🏳️⚧️ retweeted
Ed Miliband is right to say that people who have demonstrated in support of Palestine and against genocide were right all along.
Match your words, Ed, and de-proscribe Palestine Action, now.

Tony Blair has dismissed the phrase "Free Palestine", saying that Palestinians need a solution, not slogans.
Palestinians need Tony Blair to stay away from Gaza.
The solution is an end to the occupation - and we will never stop until there is real freedom for Palestine.
