Actor Richard Gere: “The entire planet has fallen off a cliff into the stupid zone. Do you really think these refugees and immigrants are different than us? Do you really believe these clowns like Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, Putin? You really believe what these guys say?”

Horrified by the news of a mass shooting at Bondi Beach during the first night of Chanukah. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and Jewish communities around the world who will be shaken by this antisemitic attack. In moments like these, we must remember our

60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity. Top 10% earn more than the other 90%. They control govts, means of production, inflict civil strife, deaths. Tax the rich. https://t.co/BNKgJAwRDv

Who funds @_LFI ❓ Why does it refuse to say ❓

More outraged by a watermelon sticker on a laptop than by the slaughter of 20,000 Palestinian children. Zionism in a nutshell.
Disney+’s official Christmas ad features a teenage girl with a watermelon sticker. Is neutrality in a children spaces just to bring us together, too much to ask? Disney doesn’t need to add more tension to an already fractured world.

There are moments in history when the creation of a library becomes an act of freedom itself. After more than a month and a half of struggle searching for a place worthy of the dream “the library” we plan to establish, we have finally found this place. With your support and your

Here are Maccabi Tel Aviv ‘fans’ singing their racist song about rape in Stuttgart yesterday. This is what West Midlands police wanted to protect Brummies from. It’s unconscionable that Starmer and Nandy misled us on a matter of public protection.
Heute in Stuttgart. Die angereisten extremistischen Anhänger des israelischen Vereins Maccabi Tel-Aviv singen offen auf deutschen Straßen: „Ihr seid die Araber-H*ren (…) Wir werden euch f*cken und euer Blut trinken (…) wir v*rgewaltigen eure Mädchen“

*sigh* No @JakeWSimons. This is why I object to Maccabi hooligans: their chants are racist and about RAPE. It’s a disgrace that you can’t condemn racism & sexual violence. It’s also pathetic that you keep taking the cowards way out and QT’ing me instead of just replying.

Hi Jake: You responded to a video of Israeli football hooligans chanting about drinking Arab blood and raping Arab girls by saying it was an "allegedly unpleasant song". Why did you say "allegedly". Can you just explain clearly why you said "allegedly" please
@SangitaMyska What on earth gives you the idea that I "can't condemn racism and sexual violence"? And how dare you make the allegation below? I'd really suggest deleting these unfounded smears and apologising.

This is how BDS will succeed - not because institutions boycott Israel, but because individuals are simply unable to stomach collusion with Israel anymore.
Eurovision’s self-inflicted damage continues as 2024 winner Nemo sends a clear message to the EBU by returning their trophy in protest at Israel’s participation & disappointment at the contest’s betrayal of the values it claims to celebrate #GazaGenocide

Solidarity with the hunger strikers. It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction. All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.
