Criticising her opinion is antisemitic, according to our political and media classes.

Two+yrs ago I said: " I long for the day there will be an investigation on the role of Western media in the genocide in Gaza".
From the very beginning many authoritative media have acted unprofessionally and irresponsible.
My last report proves there is more. And it's ugly.

1/5 A @metpoliceuk #Muslim officer gets abused online, including AI images of her in a suicide vest, & @SkyNews presenter Matt Barbet's first question to Mark Rowley is whether officers should develop āa thick skinā?
Surely it's the racist abuse that's the problem here?

Fun fact: 400,000 native Palestinian residents of Jerusalem are defined by Israeli law as neither Palestinian citizens, nor Israeli. As a result, they don't have political representation anywhere and vote nowhere - not even in the fake occupation instrument called 'the Palestinian Authority'.
With the knowledge, blessing and approval of almost every country in the world, and every international institution, on top of every other atrocity and crime against humanity documented, Israel holds 400,000 people under full ,formal denial of every political right given to any other human being on this planet.
No vote. No parliament. No representation. Transparent subjects.

Our petition for a public inquiry into Britainās role in Gaza has hit 10,000 signatures.
Now, letās get it to 100,000 to force a debate.
The public deserves to know the full scale of Britainās complicity in genocide.

Russell Brandās trial is devastating. Testimony describes him as a rabid animal, demanding sex every few hours from whoever happened to be around, and taking it regardless of consent
Brandās defense is that women knew he was a degenerate maniac, so they should have expected it by being in a room with him (several allege he attacked them in public and tried to drag them into bathroom stalls)
This is separate from FIVE disturbing allegations in Channel 4 Dispatches. Brand has zero regard for women as human beings - I canāt even imagine how many victims there truly are
Blows my mind that so many people peddle his lunacy portraying him as a truth-telling martyr being smeared by the establishment - and buy his newfound religious hucksterism
Makes sense heās leapt into the movement of sexual offenders and pedophiles, where he belongs (other than prison)

The Board of Deputies of British Jews is trending.
Who remembers when former BoD President Lionel Kopelowitz threatened to kill Jeremy Corbyn as a 'sacrifice?'
Rather than condemn Kopelowitz, the chairperson warns speakers to watch what they say as the meeting is live-streamed.

A message to those who still believe that it all started on October 7. No, it didn't. A 'managed genocide', to keep 1.5 million Palestinians "on the edge of life" was in force years before. Read the latest report by Eyal Weizman:
"A military document called āRed Linesā set the minimum number of calories required to sustain Gazaās population at a level just above the UN definition of hunger (2100 calories a day for men, 1700 for women and a varying amount for children depending on gender and age). The total number of calories was translated into the tonnage required to feed Gazaās then population of 1.5 million and thus the number of aid trucks allowed into the territory. The same went for megawatts of electricity and litres of fuel and water. What was seen as good behaviour was rewarded by an increase in the amounts coming in, any acts of resistance by the tightening of the siege, like a population-scale version of a Milgram experiment."

Every day, I try to provide food for the cats in my care, but right now I need your help so I can keep going. Itās so hard to watch them waiting for me to feed them when I canāt afford to provide their food. š
They donāt know that I canāt afford to buy food. All they know is that Iām the person who feeds and cares for them. All I want is to keep doing that and make sure they never go hungry.
Please help me keep feeding them. Any donation, no matter how small, will help me buy food for them. If you canāt donate, please share my campaign.

Itās polling day in the only democracy in the Middle East that is carrying out a genocideāand the big question on every Zionistās lips is: Should we choose the guy who is currently destroying Gaza, or one of his rivals who think they could do a better job?
Prime minister Voldemort seems unlikely to win this time around, but he might hold onto power if he can form a coalition with some of the most evil villains in existence. Again.
Many Zionists think itās time for Voldemort to step aside, but I donāt think we should forget his contribution to the Greater Israel Project. Heās the guy who funnelled $1 billion to Hamas and then ignored warnings about October 7 so he had an excuse for genocide.
If it wasnāt for Voldemort, Gaza would still be standing, so we owe him a lot. On the down side, he keeps losing fights to Iran and also to an 11-year-old boy, and thatās a bit embarrassing.
Voldemortās main challenger is Sauron. Heās a controversial character because he prefers a moderate approach to genocide. He wants to make Israel look respectable while it expands its borders to encompass all of Middle Earth.
The former IDF chief is known for his patient approach towards Lebanon known as the Dahiya Doctrine. Hereās what he once said about it: āWhat happened in the Dahiya quarter of Beirut in 2006 will happen in every village from which Israel is fired on... We will apply disproportionate force on it and cause great damage and destruction there.ā
Sauron has criticised Netanyahu for security failings on October 7, but he could not explain how he wouldāve started genocide without those failings. The incoherence of his message is Sauronās biggest weakness, but if heās finally got the One Ring, this race is over.
Western liberals are hopeful that a nice guy like Sauron can take control of Israel so that they can blame the countryās recent crimes on Voldemort. If he loses, thereās a real chance that Voldemort could face the wrath of the law. No, not for genocide, silly! Israelis will give Voldemort a medal for that. But he might have to pay one or two of the parking fines heās been dodging.
Accountability for politicians is what separates a real democracy like Israel from all those savage countries that it canāt stop bombing. Voldemort actually wanted to start bombing Iran again, so he could postpone repayment of those parking fines. However, the current IDF chief is too principled for that. He doesnāt want to start an illegal war until the matter of those parking fines is resolved.
The other challengers in this electionāDarth Vader, Skeletor, Mumm Ra, Mr Burns, Bowser, and Hannibal Lecterāare unlikely to win outright, but depending on how things pan out, could still find themselves as part of a coalition.
Their views on genocide are certainly interesting. For example, Darth Vader wants to fire a Death Star at the last partially functioning hospital in Gaza, and publicly execute his opponents with a psychic throat grab. Skeletor wants to create a cosy holiday resort in Gaza and hopes to rebuild Castle Greyskull over the bones of Palestinian children. And Hannibal Lecter is eager to turn Gaza into a human cattle ranch.
The other contenders are far too moderate for my liking and are best ignored. All that matters is that whoever wins, Palestinians will keep getting murdered, Trump will be blackmailed into restarting the Iran war, an Epstein statue will be built in Jerusalem, and everyone who criticises this insanity will be called an antisemite.

Steve Bell was sacked by The Guardian over this cartoon of Benjamin Netanyahu.
Just in: IPSO has refused to investigate the Telegraph cartoon of Mothin Ali, the Green Party's Muslim deputy leader, grinning over a knife and fork at the severed head of Zack Polanski, its Jewish leader, who is drawn with a hooked nose. Nearly 1,200 of you complained.
IPSO's reason: the cartoon is about two individuals, so only Mothin and Zack can complain. How racist the drawing is doesn't come into it.
IPSO did not have to do this, and it has done the opposite before.
IPSO's rules let it take up a complaint from people other than the person written about, when the breach is significant, and there is a substantial public interest in looking at it.
In July 2023 it used that power. It ruled that Jeremy Clarkson's Sun column about the Duchess of Sussex was sexist, after complaints from two women's charities, the Fawcett Society and the WILDE Foundation. The Duchess did not complain.
The Telegraph's editor, Chris Evans, chairs the committee that writes the Editors' Code, which is the rulebook IPSO enforces.
The Telegraph is still selling prints of the cartoon today.
IPSO's rule says it may take up a complaint like this, not that it must. So this was a choice.
Picture a school. One boy draws two classmates, a Muslim boy and a Jewish boy. He gives the Jewish boy a hooked nose and puts his head on a plate, and draws the Muslim boy about to eat it. He pins the picture to the noticeboard and sells copies at the gate.
A thousand pupils go to the head teacher. She tells them she can only act if the two boys in the picture come to her themselves.
So the picture stays on the board, and every Muslim and Jewish child in the school walks past it each morning. The boy who drew it learns he can do it again.
And the rulebook the head teacher is reading from was written by a committee his dad chairs.
Nobody would say that head teacher is protecting the children. She is protecting the boy who drew it.
That is what IPSO has done. It says it regulates the Telegraph, and it has just told nearly 1,200 people that a racist cartoon in a paper it regulates is not its business unless the two men drawn in it come and ask.

Israeli settlers & forces are driving even more Palestinians from their homes on the West Bank.
The U.S. must end its complicity in the injustice of the occupation and demand accountability for the 9 Americans killed.

š My little sister Zein suffers from brain atrophy and needs continuous medical care. She depends on diapers, medication, proper nutrition, and regular medical follow-ups, but our circumstances in Gaza have become unbearable, and I can barely afford to meet her needs.
I urgently need **$350** to help cover Zeinās diapers, treatment, and essential medical supplies. Watching her suffer while struggling to provide even the basics breaks my heart. Please, help me care for my little sister. Every donation, no matter how small, could make a real difference in her lifešš

Hijazi Shawer al-Tamimi, a 70-year-old Palestinian shopkeeper and community leader, has told Al Jazeera that Israeli soldiers beat and injured him when he tried to return home to collect medicine and milk for his grandchildren.
It was a pleasure last night to hear Al-Jazeera's Chief Political Analyst @marwanbishara talk about his new book, 'Twelve Days that Shook The Middle East' at SOAS. It was another emotional and sobering read on Gaza š... An important account & glad I got a signed copy!

Nathan Cofnas is a nasty little man.
A sacked Cambridge researcher who sparked a media frenzy over Prof Jason Arday before he was found dead 2 months ago has now been given the opportunity to hold a talk at Oxford Uni on DEI by a Reform-linked society. A protest has been planned to stop it.
