I think I'm going to keep a thread open with examples of open, coded or unconscious UK media and political racism and Islamophobia in words and statements:

Israeli settlers entered Gaza today. They were “returned by the IDF” without being arrested despite entering a combat zone where Palestinians are shot and killed merely for walking in the ruins of their own homes

"Hussain and Ali were 11 and 12 when they picked up pagers booby-trapped by Israel. They blew up, tearing through their faces, eyes and hands" Part of a report by @AlexCrawfordSky from southern Lebanon.

It is a particularly disingenuous argument (in an ocean of disingenuousness) to argue that banning 'Globalise the Intifada' is about Jewish communities, not Israel. The intifada is against the occupying force of the Israeli state, not against Jews. Israel makes the conflation.

“Mr Maduro’s claims that the US is solely motivated by oil. Those [claims] seem overblown.” - Guardian editorial board Dec 12.

Police in London have arrested people for using the term 'intifada'. For the British state, the issue isn't the words we use to show our support for the struggle of the Palestinian people against occupation, its us supporting the Palestinian people at all.

I'm old enough to remember Rob Harris telling viewers locals were convicted of attacking Maccabi fans in Amsterdam & that evidence had emerged of a premediated plan to attack the Israeli fans, while footage was played that actually showed gangs of Maccabi fans attacking locals

Protests at Synagogues Mosques

No major U.S. distributor is willing to show a powerful film about how Israeli authorities refused to allow the rescue of a five-year-old girl, the sole survivor in a car filled with family members, who in turn was then killed.

A group of 13 Israeli policemen beat & abused an Arab citizen of Israel who worked security at a football stadium. "An Arab won't frisk me" one of them said as he started beating the guard. https://t.co/oI88wFzOZ8

Hannah Neumann is one of the few socialist politicians who remained silent for years about Israeli crimes and the genocide. She is now speaking out for the first time after witnessing Israeli crimes in the occupied West Bank. Better late than never. @HNeumannMEP

💥These are the individuals so violent they were issued restraining orders keeping them out of the West Bank (but not arrested) and, in Jaffa, attacked a woman driving in her car while nine months pregnant– a crime Israel Police initially tried to pass off as a fight over parking

Ethnic cleansing in plain sight. Where is the news coverage?

Police will ban chants but do nothing about British citizens travelling to join the IDF and participate in a genocide. Which of the two poses a greater threat to humanity?

The police will now arrest people in Britain for placards that use the word "intifada". Why stop? Why not burn books that use the word -- many, of course -- because it is arabic for 'uprising' You know we're through the lookglass when even the BBC is reporting this correctly.

It seems quite clear the British government is willing to let the hunger strike prisoners die. To make some absurd point and please Israel. Appalling Even by their already disgusting standards.

"We're not disclosing her surname for safety reasons" He means because Israeli might target her & her family, just like they've targeted and murdered hundreds of aids workers & their families.

Adelson thinks her dollars can overwhelm the US Constitution.

This from @DropSiteNews is pretty cool

A reminder that more substantial housing is sitting on trucks outside Gaza and not being allowed in by the Israelis.

When you're in an international competition & merely the flag of another nation is a problem and makes you 'unsafe.'
