His name is Jonathan Burman, and he is from Manchester, UK. I want every single person he interacts with for the rest of his life to know what he was a willing part of. I want him to be reminded of his actions every day of his life. Let's make him infamous. #Genocide #FreePalestine

The legendary Gideon Levy is correct it isn’t a conflict. The way that the West frames its imperialism, dilutes the brutality of its conquest. Yesterday the PM spoke of sanctioning Iran, why? Iran was minding its own fucking business until the United States and Israel decided to attack.

I‘ve learnt the thing to understand about Chinese thinking is that it is longterm. They’re not hampered by short election cycles and of course that long view is a key characteristic of an ancient & highly accomplished civilisation. It’s partly why I don’t think China will seize Taiwan anytime soon.

It’s fair to say China’s relationship with the African continent is a bit more complex than that. They’re not European colonialists for sure, but that doesn’t mean all is OK. It’s unquestionable that the relationship is not entirely altruistic. This is good 👇 open.spotify.com/episode/6q49...

The International Court of Justice demands that Israel return the occupied territories, including Jerusalem, and pay compensation to the Palestinians. I know it won’t make a difference but at least ICJ is on the right side of history!!!

Like Robinson, Mason & Kuenssberg, Webb is not a journalist. He’s a courtier. A disgrace to journalism and news reporting. Webb did this from the outset, just like Humphrys when he was around. Best thing is to stop listening to Today. I did some years ago.

Israel has killed 74,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during its genocide, now entering its fourth year. That number keeps growing – but it’s not a number – it’s a people being ethnically cleansed. Where is the accountability?

Except that didn’t happen. Greens INCREASED their vote by 22 points. Labour fell 4. Now we can argue whether without that motion the Greens could’ve got more, but we’ll never know. Fact is, with that motion, they still increased their vote. And remember, it’s not the Greens waging genocide. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Meantime, in UK it’s all fingers pointing at the Greens for passing (perhaps unwisely at this time) the motion that Zionism is racism (notwithstanding that in practice - as we witness every single day - it is exactly that). Silence is complicity.

How Israel's relentless killing of over 1000 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2025 can be called a "ceasefire" is beyond me- its brainwashing. Aljazeera noted: Israel attacked Gaza on 325 of the past 361 days, leaving only 36 days with no reported attacks, deaths or injuries.

He’s obviously totally unaware of The Odyssey (I reference Homer’s version, not Nolan’s one, just in case anyone reading wonders…) which shows exactly that utter devastation such egoistic “heroes” leave in their wake. The loss of all the men who set out with Odysseus is a mighty clue among others!

Thank you for providing these numbers. 70-74,000 deaths are a very conservative estimate. The numbers are in fact much higher as reported by various publications including The Lancet. If you remember Western media stopped reporting on the numbers to tone down the sheer volume.

💯 The Hagana were trained directly by the British Army of occupation in Palestine. In the 1930s, full time racist & war criminal and later British Chindits hero, Orde Wingate, as well as bombing them, practised and fine-tuned his so-called counter-insurgency tactics on the Palestinian population.

So he totally forgot it was Israel who attacked Iran? The Houthis in Yemen (for years bombed by that bastion of democracy, Saudi Arabia, with whom we also have lots in common - we’re not looking great are we?) responded in support of Iran (who are their sponsors of course). ISRAEL is the problem! 😂
