🇮🇪🇵🇸The Green Brigade Celtic fans at Kilmarnock today refused to be silenced and reminded every one of British complicity in war crimes on Remembrance Sunday.
“From Balfour to Starmer.
The Crimes of the Empire live on.
Britain is committing genocide in Gaza.”

Happening now:
“Gaza burns, Wall Street booms! Arms embargo now!”
An estimated 500 members of @jvpliveNY have rushed the New York Stock Exchange, chaining themselves to entrances and an exterior fence. Security tried, and failed, to impede the masses.

One day, I’ll be standing in an auditorium full of undergrads teaching them about Nazism and Zionism under the same module.
I’ll show them a documentary about May 26th 2024 - when Israel dropped several 2 thousand ton bombs on sleeping refugees in a tent, the students will lament on how the world could possibly remain silent if we had video footage from months of similar carnage.
We’ll sociologically analyze how global consent and complicity is manufactured through propaganda, and then students will be asked to write a 1000 word essay on the fake beheaded babies story.
And this is how history simply repeats itself, unless the cycle is broken by a few brave souls.
Are you on of them?

“Unbearable.” “Unspeakable.” “Tragic.” “Unfathomable.”
Words don’t mean anything anymore. If words can name it, then it’s not accurate. What we are witnessing—no language can hold this.

The sickest fucking shit you could ever pause to conceive and still these arsehole cunts of all ‘apparent’ political denominations faff around and fail to condemn. Fuck them. Fuck the neoliberal party political class.
If you’re voting for them, you’re voting for this.
Staff at Shifa Hospital have shared this photo of their heroic attempts to keep the premature babies alive in an operating theatre after they were forced to shut down the NICU. Taken 6pm today.
Attacks on the hospital must end, and aid must be allowed to reach it. #CeasefireNOW

"Your grief is my grief."
A powerful image as @ScotGovFM @HumzaYousaf took time to speak with, and comfort, the mother and family of Glasgow born Bernard Cowan who was killed this weekend in Israel.

It is absolutely astonishing that the BBC thought that this was an acceptable way to an approach an interview with someone who has lost 6 relatives.
This is just one example of how the Palestinians are being completely dehumanised by the British media.
"My cousin is not Hamas. These kids are not Hamas."
Husam Zomlot, Head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK, lost 6 family members amongst the almost 700 killed in Israeli strikes into Gaza.

I think they've finally gone insane.
Today we are saying no to @JustStop_Oil and their political wing the Labour Party
We will power ahead with new oil and gas because it’s in the best interests of the British people, of our economy and of our national security

Sickening.
It. Should. Be. Banned.

Have a watch of that, to understand the true origin of the term.

The governor of the Bank of England - who's on £575,000 a year - is urging workers to accept wage restraint. Get back to us when bankers accept bonus restrain and we might think about it.

We learned a lot about the policy of the government and the Bank of England when it came to inflation yesterday. Above all, we learned that they really want to frighten people into accepting lower standards of living. Economic warfare on the country has begun. A thread….

"If they come after your rights, they come after my rights. As your First Minister, I will not just defend, I will be the first one on the front line, ensuring that nobody comes after your rights, either under devolution, or in an independent Scotland."

Stephen Flynn: "So may I ask the Prime Minister from whom are his government taking inspiration, Nigel Farage or Enoch Powell?"
Nail on the fucking head.
Bravo Stephen.
