@Tilopa @nf3xn Why did you call me RabsSKY?As far as I am aware, it is a "Slavic" name suffix, rather than a specifically Russian one.Thanks for the exchange.

@EeeeWooo @Tilopa @nf3xn I'm not sure how I as a non-Ukranian can be guilty of treason in a Russia-Ukraine war. Even if I WAS "supporting Russia" (which I'm not).NATO isn't even officially a party to this war so I haven't betrayed them either."Treason" appears to have been redefined as "not agreeing with Eeeee Woooo"?This exchange reminds me of Twitter somehow. I expected better of Mastodon. Best wishes.

@aljazeera The 50 year occupation continues as do the war crimes in the occupied territories against the occupied civilian population, including settlements, demolitions, relocations, and other punitive actions against civilians. It's always been illegal and it is still illegal.#Israel #Palestine #Occupation

@aljazeera If I say that Israel is enforcing apartheid then I'm an antisemitic Putin stooge. If a former Mossad chief says it, what's he?(My question is addressed to Keir #Starmer, Luke Akehurst and the UK #Labour Party.)#Israel #Palestine #Apartheid #Antisemitism

Arrest tally so far in London, 2.30pm (source BBC NEWS)Ceasefire March- zero arrests, March peacefulCounter protests near Cenotaph, by far right groups - 80 arrests so far outside White Swan pub following violence against police.Suella Braverman has NOT been arrested for conspiracy or incitement and is still in post.Babies and other hospital patients and civilians are continuing to die from direct IDF violence and due to the Israeli siege, and also in West Bank due to settler violence.#Gaza

@aljazeera Why is he PM?Because, as long as he is PM, he is excused attending court to testify in the three court cases where he is on trial for fraud/breach of trust/bribery (3 separateindictments, 1000, 2000 & 4000) thus delaying them further. If convicted, he faces prison.. He was indicted on Nov 21st 2019.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/5/netanyahus-corruption-trial-resumes-amid-israeli-war-on-gaza-what-to-know#Netanyahu #Fraud #Bribery #Israel

Weaponisation of antisemitism - unsafe for Jews.We saw this in the UK as AS was weaponised against Corbyn and the left. But that was local compared with what is happening now. Diaspora Jews are being put at risk by this cynical weaponisation of AS, aimed at stifling legitimate criticism of Israel's genocidal actions and statements.https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/12/29/steinberg-weaponizing-antisemitism/#Antisemitism #Israel #Gaza #Palestine

@aral @Captain_Jack_Sparrow @RickiTarr Sounds genuine to me - I know a husky type dog like that who sings to me over the phone. She howls if you play the piano or sing (or howl).

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/31/labour-underestimating-impact-treatment-diane-abbott-lawyer-saysDon't forget that Labour employed an ex IDF unit 8200 cyberspy, one Asaf Kaplan, to police potential/existing Labour candidates' social media history. Today's mess is no "accident".https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20210130-what-is-a-former-israeli-spy-doing-in-the-british-labour-partys-head-office/It's also worth remembering that they commissioned Mr Forde to independently investigate al this stuff, but his report didn't go the way they expected & was shelved for months. He wasn't happy. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/mar/17/labour-accused-still-not-engaging-hierarchy-racism-claimshttps://labourheartlands.com/shaheen-vs-labour-racism-allegations-and-forde-report-disregard/#Labour #Starmer

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jun/03/keir-starmer-labour-left-rishi-sunak-toriesWell worth a read, if you are a Labour, or ex-Labour voter.Starmer should read it, but even if he does, he will think he knows better.But if he ignores it, he will regret it, when he leaves Downing St after only one term, having achieved little.#Labour #Starmer #Election2024
