Of all the peoples and faiths in the world, only Muslims and Christian’s profess love of Jesus (does that surprise you?)

Ed Miliband’s statement on Israel is only a first step. We need to go further: a full ban on goods, services & investment. Labour is still shamefully refusing to recognise the Gaza genocide. We must have a full arms embargo, full sanctions & an end to military collaboration.

ICE went to a nightclub in Memphis around 1 AM and reportedly loaded more than 100 people onto buses and vans.
We are at the point where federal immigration agents can descend on a space in the middle of the night, detain masses of people, and leave families scrambling to figure out where their loved ones were taken.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.

At a time of great moral cowardice from too many elected officials, the Pope examplifies courage and compassion. His rebuke of anti-Muslim tropes gives hope for a better and more peaceful future. World leaders would be wise to follow his lead. #CourageNow islamtoday.substack.com/p/the-pope-g...

The new documentary "American Doctor" tells the story of how the besieged hospitals of Gaza have continued to treat the sick and wounded throughout Israel's genocide, with local medical staff risking their lives in the process. We speak with the film's director and two of the doctors featured in it.

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

The Netanyahu Empire knows no bounds nor limits nor agreements. This is a nuclear powered nation. Section 224 of NDAA which will be signed off on 4th June merges the IDF with US forces. That integration means effective control of the largest military on earth. Sampson doctrine worth examining too
