Listen to this scathing statement by Israeli historian Avi Shlaim, about his country. GB, EU and USA, would have us believe, Iran is guilty of everything he mentions here. Granted this clip is a few years old, but it isn’t any less true today. What are the US, GB and EU really defending and why?

“The best hope for resolving the century-old conflict between Jews & Palestinians lies not in the partition of Palestine but in building one democratic state from the river to the sea with equal rights for all its citizens, regardless of religion or ethnicity.” ~ Avi Shlaim 🕊️

A raw but compassionate view of city life under fundamentalist rule told through compelling stories. This should be a salutary tale for those concerned about repressive government legislation in the West. #RamitaNavai #iran #booksky #greatread @orionbooks.bsky.social

The judge in the Palestine Action trial is having a second go at trying to jail the respected defence barrister Rajiv Menon for contempt of court. Here is the section of his closing speech, citing a 350-year-old legal precedent, that offended the judge: jonathancook.substack.com/p/barristers...

Starmer and the media need convictions to justify Palestine Action's proscription as a terrorist group. Rajiv Menon KC spells out to the jury why it is a vital last defence against government tyranny

Thank you to #AviShlaim @irishpages.bsky.social who took the time at the busy #dalkeybookfestival to write a lovely note to my friend Martin @martycp.bsky.social one of the 3000 arrested for holding up a #PalestineAction sign in the UK.

What a lovely location for part of the #dalkeybookfestival. ‘The World After Gaza’ thoughtfully discussed by Ramita Navai, @sallyhayd.bsky.social, @deborahfeldman.bsky.social and Avi Shlaim. All views warmly acknowledged by the welcoming Irish audience... and me.

Great read from @hettieobrien.bsky.social. Clarification given to this insidious system of money making, which along with fleecing us all through their greed, will also leave society poorer and vulnerable. #BookSky

Whilst I don’t condone what he did, I see #BBCNews is still reporting on Peter Murrell’s £400k, with a full inventory of what was bought rolling down the screen but nothing, zero, zilch on #NigelFarage’s £5m. £5m is quite a sum & you’d think the public would be interested. #hypocrisy

#BBCnews filling in for the absent Farage. Absolutely tedious views from the insufferable overpaid Mason.

Great read. #avishlaim provides first hand clarity on the negative impact that zionist expansionism had on the Arab-Jew diaspora after the 1948 war. The model for peaceful co-existence had been well established for centuries in Iraq and should be the renewed aim. #oneworld #palestine

Historian Prof. Avi Shlaim exposes the UK as an active partner in the Zionist genocide in Gaza. He confirms Britain provided over 700 intelligence flights and military bases to supply the horrific war effort against Palestinians.

Laura Kuenssberg, "Rejoining the EU.. Which Streeting and Burnham have mentioned" Wil Self, "I think the public would be much happier if Streeting stood up and said we have a problem with governmental legitimacy, because of the way the vote on Europe is still perceived"

Seems appropriate to repost this today. #palestine

A clear picture without the distraction of UK muddled news commentary and what passes for balance these days. Oxford Professor Avi Shlaim, an Arab Jew, lays out the Palestinian story with a clear account of the history behind this ongoing horror. #avishlaim #palestine @irishpages.bsky.social

The worst thing Labour could do right now, there’s no reason to panic over some adverse polling less than two years into a ten year project - and some of what we’re seeing is more opportunism than panic - but if there is to be a leadership contest my first choice for the job would be Keir.

Streeting has resigned. Labour MPs need to hear from constituents now. Do not hand Farage the chaos he wants. Sign the petition and tell Labour MPs to hold the line: holdtheline.org.uk/petition

Sign the petition — Hold the Line

Add your name to the petition urging Labour MPs to hold the line, back the leadership, and stop Nigel Farage walking into Downing Street.

Dear #bbcnews you forgot to mention the investigation into Farage. However you managed to get Reform voter comments re. Labour whilst in their local.

Heidi Alexander taking no crap from Krishnan. Not sure what #Channel4News are doing? It just comes across as shit stirring not news. It seems to be a cross broadcaster agreement to remove a Labour Government.

Busy day in the garden. #photography #bluetit

Tried to watch #bbcnews again but it’s been taken over by GB news. Absolutely on the nose bias from the national broadcaster delivered with malicious intent towards a Labour Government.

The #bbcnews really don’t like having a Labour government. GB news standards from our national broadcaster.
