Of those, 134,422 buildings were completely destroyed and another 13,848 severely damaged. Most of Gaza’s roughly 2.1 million residents remain displaced and confined to less than 40% of the Strip due to Israeli access restrictions.

So it’s a genuine question what do you use to fight racism? Because racism is being ignored by our political leaders when it’s levied on Black people and Muslims and in this country. We’re all tired of talking. We’re tired of seeing our concerns being ignored. So I ask again, how do you fight it?

"Oh, it's so complex, though," doesnt fly anymore. It's discrimination based on race/religion. That is only acceptable when correcting a bias proven to exist in a society. The society we're talking about is Israel. There is no ethically defensible zionism. Try it. Go ahead.

Weird seeing someone I used to follow actually use the word "entryist" unironically. So, zionism is *not* racism? Let's hear it. Oh, crickets. GTFO.

Berger is a lunatic. It is a matter of international law that the occupied population of Gaza have a right to resist their occupation; violently if necessary. She's banking that none of her journalist chums will call this out. She's probably right.

It is a relief to see this. We all know that the usual headers will make this ridiculous claim but to see Felony Millips leading the charge, frothing and shrieking as she does, robs it of any shred of credibility others may try to grant it.

Labour once more attacking the vulnerable and already marginalized. Yes, more needs to be done to help young people, along with others, find employment, but not at expense of disabled people's lives. It's irrelevant someone's age if they need disability support 1/ www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

You see folks, forcing through deeply unpopular benefit cuts is very much like making love to a beautiful woman

rescued from the grip of the far-right. We've seen astonishing levels of competence in government communication. And we've seen the outline of a radical policy programme. It's a v.exciting time to be involved in politics

"Racist against *myself*?" Yes. In the queer community, trans/homophobes are called "pull-the-ladder-up queers," and other similar phrases. There are many ways to describe this tactic in racial terms but I hesitate to use them, because it gives the fuckers something to flap about. #FuckRacists

There was a similar scheme in Wales for hiring young people. Dodgy af small businesses (many of them unsustainable vanity projects) employed and exploited young people *just* for those 6 months, often then folding so even the reference is worthless. The politicians *know* this doesnt work.

This is the guy who claimed, when told that incidents of antisemitism had reduced, that a reduction was useless as long as there was even one incident of antisemitism. This guy and Facts have had an iffy relationship and he is not to be trusted if he tells us water is wet.
