From an interview with a Hasidic Jewish person in Israel, taken by The Ask Project (see explainer article below):
Interviewer: "Does everyone who lives here deserve to be treated the same way?"
Interviewee: "I think not. I think this is the nation of the Jews and that the Jews should have more rights than the non-Jews. I think that each Jew should get a plot of land and non-Jews shouldn't"

Look at these giggling old men. This is what they're saying to the interviewer (see video link, sorry it's Xitter) about their actions in 1948.

Left:

"I didn't talk to anyone about it."
"What about your wife? I assume you lived with her for many years. You never talked to her about it?"
"I never told her. What would I tell her - that I'm a murderer?"

Right:

"And some guys took flamethrowers and ran after people and incinerated them."

There are (at least) three groups of voters whom is alienating with his continued tacit support for the :

  1. A majority of Muslims;
  2. A substantial number of Jews;
  3. A much broader community of people with a strong commitment to human rights and an ethical foreign policy.

These groups are not individually electorally significant, but taken together they may be.

The signatories, including experts in international law, international humanitarian law, international criminal law and related disciplines say that comments by Starmer, Emily Thornberry and David Lammy have provided tacit approval of the war crime of collective punishment."

At least 100,000 said to protest to stop the in right now. This crowd looks MUCH bigger than the two previous marches that were estimated at 100,000 by the MetPol. This is organic, and it is growing with every day of atrocity in .

STOP THE GENOCIDE!

Edit - from the stage in Parliament Sq. organisers have just called it a protest of 500,000

Edit - uncertainty over video, so have replaced with one that definitely is from today

"So you've never had a piece of paper in front of you by a Foreign Office lawyer that says Israel is in breach of its humanitarian commitments under international humanitarian law?"

I can't fucking believe this.

James O'Brien, this morning: "Why does Israel have to play by the rules that Hamas holds in complete contempt, when the stakes involve civilians from both sides?"

Because one of them is a terrorist organisation and the other is (allegedly) a democratic country bound by international humanitarian law, you fucking idiot.

Naomi Klein was right: we have no leaders.
Edit: Apart from Humza Yousef.
Guardian: "Assad and Putin, in a telephone conversation, spoke in favor of the immediate delivery of aid to Gaza, the office of the Syrian leader reports. Assad and Putin also called for an end to the shelling of Gaza and the forced displacement of its residents."

BDS Movement: Update: Palestinians call to ban genocidal Israel from Eurovision

"The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) and the Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate call on the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to ban Israel from the Eurovision Song Contest – the world’s biggest live music event – or face widespread boycotts.

Israel, considered an apartheid state by major human rights organisations worldwide, is accused by South Africa, supported by tens of states, of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza at the International Court of Justice.

A senior UN human rights official and a prominent Israeli scholar of the Holocaust and genocide have described Israel’s war on the 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied and besieged Gaza as “a textbook case of genocide.” Dozens of UN experts and hundreds of international law scholars have also warned of “a genocide in the making.” …"

To summarise, in the last 24 hours Israel has:

Murdered 71 Palestinians in Gaza
Murdered 7 international food distrubution volunteers
Bombed a foreign Embassy in a third country
Passed a law banning foreign journalists from Israel

But nothing's changed.

The genocide of the Palestinians is not only carried out by Israel, it is carried out collectively by all Western governments.

We are not without responsibility.

Western values be damned.

Analysis

Among under-35 yos, 81% disapprove of Biden's handling of the Gaza campaign (71% among all Americans).

Biden could have shut down the genocide at any time.

"Israel ran out of ammunition & key arms long ago, & Biden could have denied them."

"A wise cabinet would invoke the 25th amendment, declare Biden non compos mentis, cut Netanyahu off at the knees, and save the country from the looming catastrophe."
