Globalise the intifada is a call to support Palestinian’s against apartheid, occupation, ethnic cleansing and genocide

Starmer’s comments fly in the face of international law, conflate israel and Jews and are anti-Palestinian racism

He does all this while legitimising far right hate speech at home

Starmer says 'intifada' chant is 'call to attack' Jewish people

Prime minister's claim comes as government prepares new crackdown on pro-Palestine protests

The evilest trick Israel always plays is to sign ceasefire agreements and immediately violate them.

Violating truces and human beings is in Israel's DNA.

They are also not allowed to speak to the press.

They do not want the world to know how they have been torturing them- physical, sexual and psychological abuse.

This is what occupation and dehumanisation looks like.

Israeli military arrested 19 Palestinians after a settler shot and wounded a Palestinian man. The incident took place in the village of Zuweidin in the South Hebron Hills of the illegally occupied West Bank.

No settlers were reported to have been arrested following the attack.

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

No one should receive a Nobel peace prize for deciding to stop a genocide they have ruthlessly carried out for 2 years

Trump, Biden, Starmer, Lammy, Sunak, Netanyahu, Merz, Blair and many others all belong in The Hague

Apartheid, settler colonialism and western imperialism must all be dismantled

Palestinians celebrate, they deserve to breathe, to sleep a night not worrying it is their last.

We in the west cannot allow the norm of apartheid, ethnic cleansing, settler colonialism to continue.

A choice between genocide or apartheid and imperialism is not a choice, it does not free Palestine.

Palestinians will feel understandable relief. The West should feel nothing but shame. Gaza has been obliterated. The territory rendered uninhabitable. Tens of thousands murdered in cold blood. The entire population subjected to starvation tactics. And now, colonial subjugation under Trump and Blair

I have little faith either the US or Israel will be faithful to this deal (just look at Lebanon’s ceasefire). But the ‘I’m powerless’ play was nonsense when US spent 31$ bn supporting/assisting Israel’s war across the region across 2 admins. Some care more about Biden’s rep than our lives

Starmer lurching to an even greater authoritarian position to suppress his complicity in genocide.

He justifies this with imagined claims protestors are calling to harm the Jewish community and conflates British Jews with the state of israel.

The pathetic excuse for a human belongs in The Hague..
