Abdul El-Sayed in the UK was campaigning for @faizashaheen.
And the Labour Party blocked her from standing.
It's very weird to see them celebrating the wins in the US - as if they share a political platform.

US jets have now left RAF Mildenhall. This base, like all US bases in Britain, is facilitating Trump's global wars - making the world more dangerous and increasing the threat of nuclear weapons being used. It's time to shut down all US bases and kick out Trump's nukes!

Israel must immediately open all Gaza crossings and let humanitarian aid in, starting with new tents and modular housing, clean water, nutrient-rich food, medicines. If by 9am tomorrow Israel still refuses, any principled leader would send humanitarian vessels to break the siege.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is getting worse. Heavy rain. Flooded tents. The reality on the ground is heartbreaking.
The UK government will not stand by. We will not rest until we bring an end to the intolerable suffering.

This disgusting government is supplying the arms and surveillance over Gaza to fuel Israel’s genocide. It is arresting thousands of protesters and breaking up local councils that oppose the ideology of Zionism.
This is hollow nonsense.

Just to put this out there with clarity: Robbie Gibb, who is responsible for turning the disgraced JC into a right-wing Pro-Netanyahu propaganda rag, is one of five people - including the Director General - on the @BBCNews editorial guidelines and standards committee. It’s on the BBC website.
Minutes of the last meeting show they discussed complaints about Israel/Gaza. Quite apart from the fact he is not remotely impartial on the Middle East, how can the owner of a paper with such poor journalistic standards have a role over the BBC’s?
Robbie Gibb gets to censor the BBC's Middle East coverage. He needs to resign today.

Surprise, surprise! @BBCNews fails to note that man who led the far-rightwards pro-Netanyahu turn of the JC is Robbie Gibb BBC director who also stands accused of censoring BBC reports on Palestine

I can’t see you how you can possibly avoid using the term ethnic cleansing, without losing your last remaining shreds of integrity as a journalist, @adamparsons.
Lebanon's internal displacement rate is now 22.6 percent — more than one in five of its people. Over 1.2 million people, including 350,000 children, have been forced from their homes, with the IDF launching more than 1,840 attacks on Lebanon since March 2, killing more than 1,497 people and injuring more than 4,639.
Moreover, the language used by Israel Katz to describe his aims in Southern Lebanon is extraordinarily explicit and self-incriminating. He has confirmed that Israel's military would establish a permanent "security zone" inside Lebanon up to the Litani River, that hundreds of thousands of displaced residents would be "completely prevented" from returning, and that "all the houses in the villages adjacent to the border in Lebanon will be demolished in accordance with the Rafah and Beit Hanoun model in Gaza."
The targeting of civilians for displacement specifically identified by their religion (Shia), combined with the destruction of their homes to prevent return, combined with the explicit statement that they will not be permitted to return — these are precisely the elements that international law identifies as forcible transfer and ethnic cleansing. Human Rights Watch has said that "the displacement of the Shia population looks less like a temporary military necessity and more like a move to permanently displace the civilian population based on their religion."
Its not complex, Adam. You just haven't got the balls to say it straight, and that failure makes your reportage worse than worthless. It makes it morally bankrupt.

“Ethnic cleansing” is not an expression that should be chucked around. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but smart people - and I would have imagined William Dalrymple was smart - would know the difference between their opinions and incredibly complex, difficult definitions

The headline talks about Antisemitism fears.
Yet both people were criticising a genocidal Israeli Government.
This constant conflation of criticism of Jewish people with criticism of Israel makes me as a Jewish person feel less safe.
Such a dangerous decision by Labour.

People can easily argue that Palestine is irrelevant to Britain (they’re wrong, on multiple levels, of course ) but Palestine is the moral test of the world
It is the centre of everything. How you react, who you defend, and who you abandon is the supreme litmus test of humanity.

An Israeli minister accused him of “inciting hatred”.
The Spanish prime minister defended him.
Imagine that happening here!

Quienes consideran que ondear la bandera de un Estado es “incitar al odio”, o han perdido el juicio o han sido cegados por su propia ignominia.
Lamine solo ha expresado la solidaridad por Palestina que sentimos millones de españoles. Otro motivo más para estar orgullosos de él.

My interview on @BBCr4today this morning….
We wouldn't be in the place we're in this morning if the police had acted differently. The annual Nakba march is a landmark. We asked the Met for a route - by March they'd granted the political centre of London to Tommy Robinson
