There is nothing racist about any ethnic or religious group wanting their own homeland. The problem is if this desire is at the expense of another people. Zionism in practise meant "a homeland at the expense of Palestinians". It's really not hard to grasp this basic point!

Two million pensioners live in poverty. We spend less on pensions than other rich countries. Yes, we desperately need a National Care Service. Don't make today's workers poorer in their old age to pay for it!

I heard one thing loud and clear in Andy Burnham’s landmark speech: the left has won the arguments | Owen Jones
The PM’s stated trajectory is a rebuke to past Tory and Labour governments. The challenge now is to make his project progressive in word and deed, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

She's a 94 year old Jewish human rights lawyer. She's been arrested under terrorism legislation for opposing genocide. The least we can do is to listen.

With Andy Burnham's speech, the left has unequivocally won the argument - on the rhetoric, at least. The substance is rather more complicated. But this government is more susceptible to popular pressure to go in a more progressive direction than Starmerism. Should embolden us!

Israel wiped Gaza from the face of the earth.  Everyone knew exactly what they were doing!  A crime more confessed to as it happened than any other in history. A crime more documented as it happened than any other in history. There are no excuses. None at all

Why is the far right rising? The West rigged the economy, then launched a series of catastrophic wars. The far right found someone else to blame.

The West helped create Vladimir Putin. A senior Western diplomat warned in 1994 where capitalist 'shock therapy' would take Russia. They ignored him - and ended his diplomatic career.

Saudi Arabia is a murderous dictatorship. It is guilty of heinous war crimes in Yemen. Years ago, I went to a Yemeni refugee camp. I met little kids who drew pictures of what Saudi bombs did to their loved ones. Shame on the British government.

Well said, Owen Jones! I know which book I want to buy next. Historical context matters. It serves to show us where we have been, which road we are on, and where we are destined to land. The west, you will see, is on the road to ruin and collapse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Hdp...

No, this is not a joke. UK Lawyers for Israel are trying to proscribe *Médecins Sans Frontières*. That’d mean they’d be treated as terrorists. On the same legal footing as ISIS. Membership would mean 14 years in prison. This is what we’re dealing with

Israeli settlers set fire to his home - while his family were inside. The settlers know they have the support of the Israeli army. This is the reality of the Israeli occupation.

Remember the 3,000 people murdered by al-Qaeda terrorists 25 years ago. Remember the up to 4.6 million people - according to Brown University estimates - killed by US-led forces in the post-9/11 wars. A hideous crime, followed by the crime of the century.
