I don't know how anyone can behave like this and then turn around to claim that they ARE the "victims" - not the vulnerable minority they routinely and viciously slander with such ease, like here.

seems like "on the orders of a nazi every major news outlet on the planet hounded an innocent man to death because he's black" should be one of the biggest stories of the year

She actually identifies the far-right talking points of Kirill Dmitriev - then goes on to regurgitate it as the thrust of her article. Why pay bots when credulity and bias will do it for free? With fools like Phillips, you don't have to!

How to take down establishment talking points!

“The idea that anyone chooses to live in permanent dispossession and expulsion from their homeland…we reject that.” Dr. Ashok Kumar takes on another barrage on Politics Live.

Great article covering Francesca Albanese's upcoming report, 'Truth Under The Rubble: Media In The Time of Genocide', to be presented to the UNHRC on 26th October. Examples of BBC editorial bias are appalling and shameful.

A damning new UN report accuses Western media, including the BBC, of being part of an information system that is 'intrinsic to the ongoing genocide' in Gaza We break down its findings 👉 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

Kudos to ITV for this exposing Reform UK. Just off-the-scale levels of rancid, pathological, violent racism - matched only by their equally determined efforts to conceal such sordid views from the voting public. An absolute, festering sewer.

"Undecover Inside Reform UK", a 1 hour 40 minute ITV News documentary is available on YouTube having been broadcast tonight. It opens on Farage's July 2024 Clacton pledge of much more rigorous vetting to keep extremists and bigots out of the party. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp4h...

Their talking points are essentially the same: we are being invaded and it is our fault. These are the views that are actually antithetical to western liberal democracy. Not student protests and certainly not opposition to genocide.

Posts claiming "Liberal suicidal empathy" (or "Islamophilia" as the pro-Israel crowd call it) - coupled with the claim that it is "illegal mass migration" causing civil unrest - show us ONE thing only: the GC, pro-genocide and far-right crowd draw their bigotry from the same poisonous well.

Peter Walker@peterwalker99.bsky.social

Fairly open racism and far right talking points from someone who is, last time I checked, a Conservative peer.

Classic example of DARVO (common feature in abusive relationships) by a sitting MP here: Deny - wrongdoing (transphobia) Attack - those confronting her bigotry Reverse Victim and Offender - portray herself as THE real victim Then, bask in sympathy and praise from fellow bigots.

It would IMO be better if MPs had not utterly deranged their own brains on Twitter dot com, wildly radicalising themselves and each other.

This is how you take the fight to Labour and how to act as a truly anti-establishment party. Kudos and respect to Sheffield Greens!

Hind was only 5 years old and was so terrified she told emergency responders that she had wet herself. The IDF fired 355 rounds into their car, killing Hind and her whole family AND then also killed the Red Crescent ambulance crew that had been dispatched to rescue Hind.

Wear The Peace@wearthepeace.bsky.social

Hind Rajab’s final phone call lasted approximately 70 minutes in the released audio recordings, but the entire communication lasted more than three hours. The full recording was heartbreaking, but this specific part continues to haunt us to this day.

Conference motions are not a representative view of the whole membership... except when they are, which they likely knew. Hence, calls for "reform" of Green Party "democratic structures" 'cause the plebs are getting too big for their boots.

🚨 BOMBSHELL POLL JUST DROPPED 🚨 Green voters SUPPORT "Zionism is Racism" motion. ✅ Support: 81% ❌ Oppose: 19% (Source: @OpiniumResearch, 7-9 October)

Compare Dave Rich's article in the Guardian to this passage by Omar El Akkad on Hind Rajab's murder. If what Rich has described is fear, then by what word could we describe what Hind felt?

Substitute Apartheid South Africa and we would have absolutely no compunction in supporting the motion. Why is Zionism any different? Far from controversial, Zionism is Racism is a statement of fact.

The Green Party conference has concluded its debate on this motion, titled 'Zionism is Racism'. The result will be announced shortly. Well informed observers anticipate it is likely to pass.

Turns out Sheeran's touring band and support acts were not only the backbone of his tour, but the only ones who had one.

Chicago Tribune@chicagotribune.com

Ed Sheeran’s tour of North and South America was plunged into chaos Tuesday when four of his supporting acts — including his touring band — abruptly quit in solidarity with the rapper Macklemore, who was dropped for making pro-Palestinian comments onstage.

Two state solution has long been dead. Its proponents know this to be true and really only bring it up to camouflage Israel's otherwise nakedly expansionist annexation policy.

AIPAC Tracker@trackaipac.com

New maps from policy expert Frank Lowenstein show Israel now controls 92% of the West Bank and Gaza, leaving Palestinians just 8%. Since 2023, Israel has approved 104 new settlements, more than triple the total approved during all 8 years of the Obama administration.

Essential reading - not only exposes the sewer of the "race science" network that gunned for Aday's lynching, but the abject fools for journalists who supped on the sewage and was too stupid to see that they were being used as a hired gun.

Two people have died in Pennsylvania from measles, the state health department said. Both were unvaccinated. These the first deaths related to measles within the state in 35 years, it reports

Not a single reporter checked because the truth of the matter was immaterial to these baying hyenas. The had an axe to grind against black scholarship - and as the perennial racist, David Starkey put it, they wanted vengeance.

A professor writes: (Jason Stanley) The problem is that journalists failed to do basic journalism. Not a single reporter seems to have checked’ Jason Arday’s citations. The ‘quantifiable metrics’ of his work. Prof Stanley did: ‘Arday is easily comparable to the leading scholars in the field’

Middle East Eye - a small publication with a fraction of the resources available was able to run a proper, contextualised checking of the facts. Shame on such titles like the Guardian who not only failed their journalistic ethos, but was only too glad to jump on the witch-hunting bandwagon.

Makes a compelling case for a public inquiry. But don't overlook the toxic ideology behind this tragedy. Figures like Nathan Cofnas & Toby Young at the Free Speech Union are proponents of pernicious Nazi-era race science & it is this poisonous undercurrent that marks it apart from all the others.

George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social

I'm deeply ashamed of my profession. Its treatment of Jason Arday - right across the board - fills me with disgust and horror. The tormenting of a highly vulnerable man was seen as monetisable entertainment. This is a stain that won't wash off. bylinetimes.com/2026/08/19/j...

NEW: It was a digital lynching. And the media is never going to hold itself to account for the role it played in Jason Arday’s death. But there are things we can do. This is a practical guide based on my own experience. broligarchy.substack.com/p/a-digital-...

They'll say it's antisemitic to compare Israel to Nazi Germany - even when their security minister directly lifts Nazi eugenicist phraseology!
