I knew being a fully paid-up member of the @guardianstage reading wokerati would be off eventually. Been a good few weeks. Thankful and extremely aware of how lucky I am. Go see Sugar Coat please. It deserves a bigger stage with a bigger soundsystem. https://t.co/KTJmlF6rsk

Maccabi Tel Aviv chants: Death to the Arabs/let the IDF win/Fuck the Arabs/there are no children in Gaza. For accuracy replace "Jews" in your statement with "a group known for racist incitement, from a country accused of genocide are safe..." Then defend that position. Thanks.

Having said for a decade that something much like this was coming, if we didn’t move decisively to avoid it: I cannot tell you how *incredibly* hostile more or less everyone who considers themselves Sensible and Moderate was, to being told this. And yet, here we now are.

It seems as though the English language has run out of words. Or maybe some people have run out of humanity.

This is on us, on @Keir_Starmer, we supply & aid this, our national broadcaster has been in thrall to it. We made a film about these attacks; @BBCNews wouldn’t run it. Impunity false equivalence & cowardice leads here; please do not repeat any lines that these people were Hamas
Live on air… Israel bombs civil defense teams as they try to retrieve the body of journalist Hossam Al-Masri, killed in an Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital. Ongoing crimes before the eyes of the entire world.

Unbelievable how coward you are not to name who killed him (Israel) and where/how they killed him (seeking food near GHF sites). You even did not condemn the killing of other players, the destruction of stadiums and sports club. When Diego Jota died, you mentioned that it was

Another Palestinian drops dead. No cause. No one on the other end of the weapon. Amazing how common this sudden Palestinian death syndrome has become. THANKS UEFA for the farewell. Is there maybe a country inexplicably still within UEFA that you could hold responsible?

They won't say who killed him (the Israeli army), or how (while he was trying to collect food aid for his children). Meanwhile, Israel remains a full member of UEFA even as its domestic teams play on illegally occupied land and its military has killed hundreds of footballers.

I don’t usually do this kind of tweet, but since I’ve been asked: James Schneider is sound. It’s depressing to see posts about him—some of them from people I like—insinuating he’s in league with Starmer/Israel/the CIA (no joke, it has been suggested). So I'd just like to say...

It took mass starvation in Gaza for some to finally speak out. The charred bodies, decapitated babies, amputations, mass graves, limbless bodies, relentless carpet bombing, torture, extermination and near-total destruction were all tolerable - until now. Shame.

This is getting close to the logic of holocaust deniers who often point to the existence of survivors, escapees, the existence of Jewish partisans, the sporadic use of Jewish labor, and the fact that not all camps were used for extermination to cast doubt on genocidal intent

It isn't just the immediate, unbearable horrors of starvation caused by Israel in Gaza. It is, as @muhammadshehad2 harrowingly explains, the permanent, life-changing damage this has created, the terrible harm that will carry into future generations

At my Jewish primary school & cheder, we were taught not only that Arab lives were worth less than Jewish ones, but that "Palestinians" didn't exist. Anyone who denies this is commonplace within Jewish communities is lying. Watch the film 'Israelism'.
This is disgraceful from @mrjamesob – platforming a modern blood libel against Jews live on national radio. There’s no such thing as “Shabbat school”. No Jewish child in the UK is taught that vile, racist nonsense. This is a stain on @LBC and its producers.
