RT: @implausibleblog Zack Polanski, “Secondly, I think it's undoubtedly true that the conversation around Israel is so obviously toxic"

"And I say that as a Jewish person, it is so vital, as you were saying, that we separate antisemitism from criticism of the Israeli government"

"Now, it won't surprise you to hear me say this, I imagine as a Jewish person, antisemitism exists in our society"

"It's a real problem in the same way that Islamophobia is a real problem and all forms of racism"

"And I would say, as workers, as socialists, as progressives, as people on the left, it's really important that we collectively show solidarity to racism in all of its forms"

"That is a different conversation from recognising that there has been an ongoing genocide in Palestine, but also in the West Bank, where the settlers are as well, that there's been an illegal occupation that has been going on for decades and decades now, for an entire generation"

"And from the absolute complicity, in fact, more than complicity, from the active enabling of the British government, who are still sharing arms or selling arms licences, sharing intelligence"

"And it is so important, I think it's really revealed the gap between where Westminster establishment politicians are and where the public are"

"Because I've been saying this for a while, and I hope people in the room would know I would say this even if it was an unpopular thing to say"

"But actually, we're in the place where public sentiment so strongly shows that people are undoubtedly and unsurprisingly concerned about an ongoing genocide, yet we still have establishment politicians continuing to support it"

"We've got Wes Streeting, who suddenly seems to have woken up and noticed what's going on just in time for a leadership election, talking about a genocide"

"And then we've got Andy Burnham, who says that he can't judge or make a comment on it"

"And that seems odd to me when we've seen four years now of horrendous and brutal and horrific livestreamed attacks on our TVs and our phone screens"

"And I think every single politician needs to recognise right now what's going on, to speak with clarity, to speak with transparency, and call out what's going on"

"You may not know it, you may not believe it, but the reality is that a ruthless propaganda war is being waged against the survival of human civilisation in the name of short-term greed at any cost. It is that simple, that irrational. Even though truth, science and sanity are on our side, human civilisation is currently losing the war"

Invitation To A Turkey Shoot – How To Debunk Climate Denial

We, of course, post on all kinds of emotive and controversial issues on social media: genocide in Gaza, the war of aggression on Iran, the weaponisation of anti-semitism to undermine democratic choice and defend Israel, and so on.

Authoritarian moves in the UK.

Don't be fooled that 'its the uk- things like that don't happen here'

It is happening here and in defence of a foreign country committing a genocide!

Petition to defend Albanese

Francesca Albanese is trying to stop a genocide. "The US & Israel are trying to stop her – by destroying her life, her career, her family, & her voice."

Albanese "lost her affiliations with Columbia & Georgetown Unis"

"Her assets were frozen. She cannot access bank accounts, credit cards, or payments anywhere in the world."

"Even European banks closed the accounts of sanctioned ICC judges – simply bcz the US demanded it."

News organisations need to be much clearer about the potential conflicts of interests that surround the 'interventions' made by former politicians, argues Adam Bienkov

Jeff Bezos went on TV to whine about Zohran Mamdani to stop demonizing billionaires and the very next day Mayor Mamdani responded by forcing Amazon to pay $9M in fines accrued by Amazon delivery trucks for illegally idling and blocking NYC traffic.

This is what happens when you elect a mayor for the people, not the corporations. We need more of this.

Amazon holds a $1.2 billion contract with the Israeli military — Project Nimbus — with terms that explicitly prevent it from ever cutting off services, even in cases of abuse. It also powers ICE's deportation machine, separating families across America

The board members responsible have names and are able to be held accountable: Jamie Gorelick, Jon Rubinstein, Andrew Ng, and Patricia Stonesifier

Here is a petition for Amazon to cut their contract with the IDF
