@Jonathan_K_Cook From Burnham's first day anyone with eyes in their head & half a brain could see how he regards Palestinians. He promoted John Healey - up to his neck in the Gaza slaughter - to Chancellor. 64 views · 6 likes · 1 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@Jonathan_K_Cook Traditional media controls have failed, social media is awash with unspeakable atrocities, Westminster’s complicity has been laid bare, and the rise of Zack is a now big problem for Israel and their lobby So they’ve all put on a show, with an exaggerated respons 30 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@Jonathan_K_Cook There is no such thing as a “two state solution” ! Who even agrees what it is ? Is it possible ? Does Isræl agree ? What are the borders ? Who would guarantee peace ? Could Palestinians defend themselves? Etc etc DEFINE THE TWO STATE SOLUTION. 38 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

One final, horrifying subtext to Miliband’s speech announcing a trade ban on the settlements should not go unremarked.
