UNLAWFUL ARREST

This woman was arrested for holding a sign with β€œI do not support the proscription of Palestine Action” on it, a totally lawful statement to make, even under the Labour government’s absurd new laws proscribing the direct action group.

Zionism’s History Is Also a History of Jewish Anti-Zionism Defenders of Israel’s brutal war on Gaza have attempted to conflate anti-Zionism with antisemitism. But since its beginning, different forms of Zionist ideology have competed with varied anti-Zionisms...

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

Peacehaven: Fire at East Sussex mosque probed as 'hate crime' Video appears to show two people in balaclavas at the mosque before a large blaze spreads.

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

Why change your policy on aiding and abetting a genocide when you can instead burn every last bit of civil rights on the pyre of loyalty towards an openly genocidal state?

Typical Labour bring in a disproportionate stupid law and when people protest it, make the protest illegal.

I still don’t understand why Boris Johnson isn’t in prison meanwhile a national newspaper still thinks it appropriate to employ him to apply posh boy humour against people rightfully protesting genocide . The moral depravity of the man & our media on full display.
