For many, the current assault by Israel on Gaza is the second Nakba. Two million Palestinians have been forced from their homes in the last seven months as they have fled the murder by Israel, of almost 40,000 people across the entire Gaza strip. buzzsprout.com/991288/1513799…

Nigel Farage spewing racism. And a reminder that the person he's talking to, Trevor Phillips, has previously said Muslims "see the world differently from the rest of us" & are becoming a "nation within a nation".

The state harassed & convicted Christy of contempt because of the line in his Stardust song “the fire exits were chained.” Last week, the jury found unanimously that the fire exits were chained. Christy is the only person convicted of any offence arising from the atrocity.

1/ Today 1919 the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, India. Over a thousand murdered, as British forces fired on a unarmed crowd for over ten minutes. Colonel Reginald Dyer ordered the massacre and was lauded as a hero in Britain. He's Known as "The Butcher of Amritsar" in India though.

The call from Liverpool: ‘ceasefire now!’


In modern times, Martin McGuinness adressed an anti-austerity demo in London on 2015 of 100,000+. Got a great reception. But the #CeasefireNOW demo was much larger. And @MaryLouMcDonald got an equally warm response.

Has an Irish politician ever made an address to such huge crowds in London as the next Taoiseach @MaryLouMcDonald did today?

Why is Israel 🇮🇱 burning down Palestinian homes in the West Bank? There is no Hamas there. Because this is NOT a war on Gaza, it’s a war on Palestine 🇵🇸

The apartheid regime has inflicted decades of brutality on Palestinians. Denial of basic rights, expulsion of Palestinians from their homes, ruthless suppression & repeated breaches of international law is the backdrop to the current horror we see today. buzzsprout.com/991288/1382225…

Tomorrow, residents of Stoke-on-Trent, like millions of others across the planet, will not stand by whilst a genocidal, colonial state tries to ethnically cleanse the indigenous population. We have a duty to stand with the Palestinians and we will do just that. #FreePalestine

Clare Daly + myself were suspended from Parliamentary Foreign Missions because we went to Venezuela to witness an Election - What happens to you if you go to #Israel to support a Genocide of the #Palestinians in #Gaza by the Apartheid State of Israel...?

We are friends of Israel. When friends are under attack, we stand by them. Israel has the right and duty to respond to Hamas’ act of war. We call for the immediate release of all hostages taken by Hamas. @Isaac_Herzog @EP_President
