All time hero Benjamin Zephaniah leaves us. So sad. A totally inspirational human being. Offered an OBE he said 'up yours!". Too right! This one is an eternal Optimo fave - youtube.com/watch?v=n_PRL1Z_…

Devastating to hear that Benjamin Zephaniah has passed. As a writer, activist and patron of PSC he always stood steadfast with the Palestinian people and fought against racism and for justice for all his life.
Rest in Power ✊🇵🇸

This thread is *required reading* for anyone who doesn’t understand why pro Israeli perspectives and talking points stand in such stark contrast to the calls for an end to Israel’s apartheid system and ongoing military oppression of Palestinians. It really is kind of complicated.

In my 35 years of covering wars, I have never seen criminals like the Israelis boasting about their crimes, bragging about them on social media and not being held accountable by nations worldwide, especially here in Europe, that pretend there are laws.

When Farage, his cronies & his political doppelgängers talk about “controlling immigration” they primarily mean preventing non-white people being British. People of colour everywhere are “sick of being punching bags” & “justifying our existence” as @DrAmirKhanGP explains:
“I’m tired Lorraine of having to justify my existence by the worth I bring to this country”
@DrAmirKhanGP responds to the immigration and NHS claims made by Nigel Farage in last night’s episode of @imacelebrity #Lorraine #ImACeleb

You have to watch this. This man has seen everything from Khmer Rouge to Yemen, and he says there is “no parallel” to what is happening in Gaza.
“The worst ever.” Those are the stark words of @UNReliefChief Martin Griffiths, about the death and destruction in Gaza. Having worked in the field for decades, he adds “I don’t say that lightly.” Watch our full conversation.

So the guy who bought this platform claiming he was saving free speech just sued an advocacy organization because it engaged in free speech critical of that guy and his management of the platform? Got it.

F. Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote: “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.”

The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.
