BBC's Laura Kuenssberg repeatedly suggests to Zack Polanski it's not the job of the Greens to tell Jews what Zionism means.
But like other journalists, Kuenssberg does think it's her job to tell Palestinians – the victims of Zionism – what the ideology oppressing them means.

To be clear, the only reason I was able to reach Heidi was because young Palestinians provided cover with rocks against machine-gun- and tear-gas-wielding settlers and soldiers. It’s those kids, not the settler terrorists, who the IDF was hunting after the attack.

"For me as a Palestinian, Zionism is racism. Zionism is genocidal. Zionism is sociopathic. Zionism is all about ethnic cleansing for a group of people at the expense of another. If I were not Palestinian, if I just happened to be a Jewish person, I would have lived with all my rights granted. No one would have questioned me, no one would have come after my land, my country, to kill us. So if that is not racism, then what is? Ever since I came to the UK, I've been hearing some bizarre ideas: 'Zionism means different things to different people'. Zionism means only one thing. And it means one thing to the people that it was manifested at. Zionism means genocide and death."

.@ZackPolanski has to explain that conflating Jews with the state of Israel (like the PM did last week) is antisemitic and is making British Jews less safe.

"Even voters who know little about Palestine will struggle to understand why Labour is turning on its own local administrations.
The impression it creates is not of a party that’s been renewed as a force for ‘hope’, but of one that remains petty, vindictive and self-serving."
The Labour Party’s refusal to work with the Greens unless they renounce anti-Zionism exposes the hollowness of the Burnham project.

#BBCLauraK: "I asked you a question about.. zionism & you immediately answered talking about something else"
Yes because zionism has driven the brutal oppression & slaughter of Palestinians (because they are Palestinian), & that is clearly racist.

Former Economic Hit Man John Perkins:
‘The United States has been headed toward this OLIGARCHY and very IMPERIALISTIC state of being for a long time under both Democrats and Republicans.
But Trump has really highlighted this. He’s brought it out into the open. We’ve never had a President that so openly was corrupt, and so openly was striking deals that are not good for this country.
And so I wanted to use this time of the Trump Presidency as a time to point out that this economic hitman strategy that I helped to develop back in the 70s has now just gone crazy, if you want to call it that, and taken the United States into a position that I could never, never have imagined we would reach.
The United States is, it’s a mystery to everyone, but it’s also a laughing stock. It’s just, it’s a real shame. I’m ashamed to be an American today, quite frankly. It’s just a real shame. I’m ashamed to be an American today, quite frankly.’

“Settlers” aren’t “out of control.” Israeli settlers and soldiers are the same, they are illegal occupiers that terrorize Palestinians—every single day—to force them out of their land.
Occupation is violence. Apartheid is violence. Genocide is violence. It’s all Israeli policy.

Labour are really showing themselves up.
They're comparing those of us demanding an end to the genocide with Reform and Tommy Robinson.
Keir Starmer may have gone - but his politics and our Governments commitment to arms licences very much remain.

“We have to call out bad behaviour wherever it exists.”
@Len_Duvall challenges the Greens’ ‘Zionism is racism’ motion, Reform’s attack on Sagal Abdi-Wali and Susan Hall speaking at a rally with Tommy Robinson, while acknowledging where Labour’s has faced up to its failures too.

Antisemitism is serious.
That’s precisely why it should never be weaponised as a political football. Labour doing so should disgust people across every community.
And all this while they continue to arm a genocide and lock up pensioners.
Antisemitism is a cancer in our politics.
We fought hard to root it out of our party.
We will not stand by and watch it infect public life again.

Anyone speaking according to their own conscience is a ‘terrorism’ supporter according to the UK. The ugly head of Imperialism now targets white people too. Society wide repression requiring enormous pushback.
‘•Irish novelist Sally Rooney says her books can no longer be supplied to UK retailers because royalties could be used to support the proscribed organization Palestine Action.
•Publisher Faber confirmed that British legislation prevents it from transferring Rooney’s UK earnings and described the situation as “unconscionable.”
•Amnesty International and Palestine Action’s co-founder condemned the consequences for freedom of expression, while a Supreme Court challenge to the ban remains pending.’

This story is bigger than a book simply being cancelled.
Penguin Random House pulled Alana Hadid and Jenan Matari’s book about the Palestinian experience after clashing with them over how to tell Palestine’s story.
Apparently, even a children’s book about Palestine needs a disclaimer making sure everyone knows October 7 was illegal, while the Nakba, occupation and decades of dispossession are up for editorial debate.
Alana and Jenin eventually walked away rather than publish a version they couldn’t stand behind.
Imagine having to fight a publisher just to tell your own people’s story.
Thankfully, Palestinian-owned Interlink Books will publish it in 2027.

An Israeli strike killed a woman in Gaza, as her daughter watched her burn alive. Video has been circulating all day, you can hear the little girl cry and see her engulfed in smoke.

A four-month investigation by Declassified UK revealed that Jonathan Burman, a British national from Manchester, served in the Israeli military during the genocide in Gaza.
Images posted to his Instagram show Burman, linked to the 55th Reserve Paratrooper Brigade, in front of the burning Al-Farabi primary school in Khan Younis, an UNRWA facility previously used by displaced civilians.
Under the Geneva Convention, wanton destruction of property constitutes a war crime. With over 2,000 Britons having served in the Israeli army, UN commissioner Chris Sidoti stated the UK Met Police should investigate Burman.
