There was a time in late 2023 when people insisted on this website that Israel would never, could never, bomb a hospital, and that it was an antisemitc blood libel to suggest otherwise.
Here we are, three years and dozens and dozens of hospital attacks later.
We are appalled and outraged by the Israeli airstrike on Nasser hospital in Gaza, Palestine, last night. We have already treated three people injured in the attack.
It is unconscionable that patients and medical staff are once again being killed and injured inside a hospital, a place where lives should be saved, not taken.
We urge world leaders to move beyond statements of condemnation and take concrete action to ensure the protection of patients, healthcare workers, and facilities in Gaza. The continued attacks on healthcare cannot be met with silence and impunity.

Russel Brand is a rapist.
I hope this verdict brings a little closure to his many victims. And I hope this verdict brings hope and courage to those who fear that speaking out will never amount to anything near a conviction.
I hope they throw the fucking book at him.

At the Budget, the Government introduced a higher tax on bank mega-profits to help fund support for people's energy bills.
Last night, Reform MPs voted AGAINST it.
Remember that the next time they claim to be on the side of ordinary people.

Last week, Israeli forces detained our parliamentary delegation and barred us from the illegally occupied West Bank. The message was clear: the world must not see what is happening here.
The violence we went to investigate is Israeli state policy. That’s why Britain must sanction the Israeli state, not just its settlers.
The impetus to take firmer, faster action is clear. Israel is trying to cut off the Palestinian people from the rest of the world. But we must use all the tools in our power to force it to change course.

The plan to completely Ethnically Cleanse Gaza is proceeding at full steam.
They will bulldoze, lay sand, and build on top of the Genocide.
Pushing the Palestinians into a smaller and smaller space while starving and killing them
While the West enforces the SILENCE

They're preparing for AI taking the majority of our energy and water usage.
Look forward to having energy and water shortages to power the technology our ruling class will use to try and enslave us all.
“Be ready by having some everyday essentials… three litres of water per person per day, tinned goods... to last a few days”
Speaking to @vicderbyshire, Defence Secretary Wes Streeting details advice to households to be prepared for a “dangerous and turbulent world”.

Basic education piece:
Not all Jewish people are Zionists.
Lots of Zionists aren't Jews.
The Board of Deputies largely self identity as Zionists.
The Media often report the Board of Deputies as the opinion of Jewish people.
Yet many Jewish people say #NotInOurName

Perhaps the most stark and revealing (accidental?) admission in the David Bell 'antisemitism in UK schools report. Antisemitic attitudes aren't increasing, only anti-Israel ones are. That's what most of this is about.
From the horse's mouth:

Over 500,000 people marched in France last weekend. The vast majority were unmasked and white. They were protesting against the cost of living and poor public services. Don't fall for the rightwing spin.

I can't get over what a massive admission this is. If we lived in a world where politicians and media cared about facts, THIS would be the headline story. "ANTI-ISRAEL ATTITUDES INCREASING, ZERO INCREASE IN ANTISEMITISM."
The pro-Palestine movement has been so successful in separating opposition to Israeli atrocities from hatred toward Jews that there has been zero increase in public hatred toward Jews throughout three years of genocide. That's an incredibly impressive achievement in activism and education regarding a mass atrocity we're always told is a super duper complicated issue that's almost impossible to understand.
This one fact, by itself, completely destroys just about every argument the hasbarists have ever made about the pro-Palestine movement. People who've been taking a stand against the Gaza holocaust have been absolutely impeccable with their messaging, taking great care to help the public understand the distinction between the religion of Judaism and the apartheid state of Israel.
If mainstream pundits and politicians actually cared about truth and morality, they would be falling all over themselves to apologize and correct the record on the narrative they've been pushing that the pro-Palestine movement is responsible for a surging epidemic of antisemitism in our society. They would be telling everyone that it turns out there is in fact no epidemic of antisemitism, and the pro-Palestine movement has conducted itself with saintly meticulousness in ensuring that hatred toward the Jewish faith gains no purchase within their ranks or their message.
But mainstream pundits and politicians do not care about truth or morality. They care about promoting the interests of a genocidal apartheid state, no matter how many lies they need to tell in order to do so.
This is why instead of seeing headlines about the Bell review's finding that there has been zero increase of antisemitism among British people, we've been seeing headlines falsely claiming that British schoolchildren are evil antisemitic Nazis who must be brought to heel.
People who support Israel are disgusting, manipulative liars, and the western political/media class are the very worst among them.

The ‘major report’ has major flaws in it, is in fact an organized attempt to suppress pro-Palestine speech and Palestinians in schools, and Polanski is right to raise questions:

No civilians were attacked, and you've no evidence whatsoever that they would have been. Soldiers engaged in enforcing an illegal occupation are legitimate targets for armed resistance.
If you had obeyed international law and ended your illegal occupation of the West Bank, those soldiers would still be alive. Their deaths are on you.
אני שולח תנחומים מעומק הלב למשפחותיהם של סמ"ר רון יונתן רויטמן ז"ל וסמל יובל שי סוילם ז"ל, שנפלו בקרב בצומת יהודה.
רון, יובל וחבריהם לגדוד עמדו בגבורה עילאית מול המחבלים בני העוולה ומנעו פיגוע רצחני נגד אזרחים ובכך הצילו חיי אדם.
אני מחבק את המשפחות בשעתם הקשה ביותר, ומאחל החלמה מהירה ומלאה לשלושת הלוחמים שנפצעו בפיגוע.
יהי זכרם ברוך.

He’s been pushing this nonsensical ahistorical far right line for a while. Of all his dumb and/or dishonest takes, this may be his worst.

Major banks have made tens of billions in additional profits as interest rates have risen in recent years.
At the same time, millions of people are facing higher mortgage payments, rising rents and ongoing cost-of-living pressures.
There is a clear opportunity for the Government to tax bank windfall profits and raise up to £15 billion each year for our public services.
That's why I've signed @RichardBurgon's motion, calling on the Government to introduce a tax on bank windfall profits ahead of next week's Budget.

Attacking your soldiers is legitimate armed resistance.
Demolishing civilian homes as punishment is a war crime.
