With her lonely stand for Palestine, Sally Rooney has exposed the contemporary literary world as a nest of cowards and careerists Where are all the Doris Lessings, Harold Pinters, John Bergers, Graham Greenes, Samuel Becketts that once raised their voices against war and injustice? Rooney stands almost alone

When I voted against proscribing Palestine Action, I warned there could be so many draconian consequences. We've had the ridiculous arrests of thousands for simply holding a sign. And now this against one of the best writers of her generation. This ban needs to be overturned.

Look, it's okay to say "Nazism is racism", because it is. That doesn't mean you hate regular Germans. Same with "Apartheid is racism" and South Africans, "Segregation is racism" and Americans, and "Zionism is racism" and Jews. Anyone who says otherwise is being disengenuous.

Simon said he had more to reveal - but he has now been suicided.
I am the British whistleblower who reported evidence concerning Howard Lutnick, his links to Jeffrey Epstein, and Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC to the FBI in 2020–21. Listen to the BBC File on 4 documentary about my whistleblower story: bbc.com/audio/play/m002yx47 BBC News: bbc.com/news/articles/c9q28d… I later shared evidence with the House Oversight Committee, which subsequently questioned Lutnick behind closed doors. My disclosures also contributed to regulatory action in the US and UK, including a £96m HMRC tax assessment relating to BGC’s partnership scheme. I believe the true tax exposure is substantially higher. I also reported to the FBI and financial regulators matters involving Cantor Fitzgerald’s Relief Fund and BGC/Cantor’s annual 9/11 Charity Day. The personal consequences of whistleblowing, and the retaliation I say followed, have been devastating for my family and me. Mother Jones previously reported that documents I uncovered revealed a years-long business tie between Howard Lutnick, Cantor Fitzgerald and Jeffrey Epstein through AdFin, including a 2018 exchange in which Lutnick and Epstein discussed the company directly: motherjones.com/politics/202… motherjones.com/politics/202… Follow me here on X and on LinkedIn. I intend to share more of the evidence and the story behind what happened.

Some things the British media and political class have reacted hysterically to during Israel's genocide: - The Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban - Bob Vylan - Gary Lineker - The Green Party motion Something they have not reacted hysterically to: - The genocide

Simon has been found dead, reportedly from "suicide." RIP to Simon and to all whistleblowers who have died too young. The truth about Lutnick will never die

The fact the British media is angrier about a "Zionism is racism" motion than about Zionists committing genocide speaks volumes about the British media

I think every Labour MP screaming that the Greens are now a racist, antisemitic party should directly explain why they think Stephen Kapos, a Holocaust survivor and supporter of the motion, is racist.

Replying to @Scottobix
Yes-Until the Gaza genocide, many questioned how to resolve the "Israeli-Palestinian problem". But now more realize that the Zionist project from inception required elimination of an indigenous population and at its core it's defective. The whole enterprise is rightly questioned.

The ‘Zionism is racism’ motion will likely damage Zack Polanski’s chance of winning the Holborn & St Pancras by-election. Given the tone of news coverage this morning voters undecided about the Greens may be put off. The motion itself was one of around 200 tabled. It’s likely that witnessing the Gaza genocide and the inaction of world leaders got the motion over the line; of course it was Hitler’s genocide of the Jews that accelerated the establishment of Israel. My personal view is that while the desire for self determination by any group of people is not inherently racist. However, if, in practice, that self determination results in displacement, ethnic cleaning, bureaucratic apartheid, and mass killings then that is racism.

She's a 94 year old Jewish human rights lawyer. She's been arrested under terrorism legislation for opposing genocide. The least we can do is to listen.

If we were all to send Danny Tommo an @RNLI Christmas card simply containing "LOL", it would make a lot of money for a brilliant charity and be hilarious at the same time. Cards can be purchased here shop.rnli.org/collections/ch… Please spread the word.

Some things that Israel offcially PROHIBITS/STOPS entering Gaza: 👇 - Toys - Wedding Dresses - Cancer medication - Nappies - Babies bottles - Footballs - Crutches - Musical instruments Why? To inflict a level of dehumanisation and pain that's hard to imagine.

If this isn’t foreign interference designed to destabilise our sovereign nation I don’t know what is. #blackshirts #Dover
Danny Tommo, the man who organised yesterdays blackshirts rally, openly telling us a foreign American think tank wired him £30k for his very first street protest. Foreign money is propping up the British far right

Avi Shlaim on the British mandate in Palestine: "I can summarize it for your listeners in one sentence. Britain stole Palestine from the Palestinians and gave it to the Zionists."
Simon Sebag Montefiore: "I'm the biggest critic of this government in Israel. I think they're a disaster. They're the worst government they've ever had. I think various ministers on them are repulsive... they are a disaster for Israel."

On Gaza, you’d think this articulate, intelligent individual from a widely respected organisation would be an interesting talking head for the BBC to platform from time to time, but, oddly enough, I never see her.
