Here is how 16-year-old Palestinian American Mohammed Ibrahim described watching Walid Ahmad die in front of him:

If only there had been thousands of people immediately and very vocally warning them that this would happen. Ah well
Labour MPs regret voting for Palestine Action ban that led to 4,000 arrests in a year
Backbenchers say the right to protest has been harmed since they were ‘pressured’ into proscribing the organisation as a terror group

She needs to be recalled. She has admitted she has no idea how the law she wrote herself, that affects us all, will be applied because she didn’t consult lawyers or experts before putting it forward and voting on it. Flagrant incompetence and abuse of her position.

Summing up to the jury, Russell Brands lawyer questioned why the women didn't scream or fight back whilst being raped/assaulted? .....This scene from the BBC drama Apple Tree Yard perfectly explains why some victims aren't able to scream & fight while they're being assaulted.

This is so strong and clear.
You can't help but notice that if this was in the UK context - you wouldn't be able to get a single one of these sentences out without a journalist barracking the person saying it constantly.
The UK media is in quite a state.
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

Now Russell Brand's been convicted of rape, we need to talk about Sylvie Berki. Because she can't speak for herself.
In 2014, Ms Berki said she'd been assaulted by Russell Brand.
But if she talks about it, even now, she risks jail.

abdul el-sayed would last about 14 seconds in the labour party before they kicked him out
When you vilify, smear and demonise good people who refuse to let your hate define them, other good people don't stand by.
They stand up and vote for hope over fear.
Congratulations @AbdulElSayed 🎉

The whole ZIR = antisemitism argument depends not just on disagreeing about which definition of Zionism is right. It says there are no alternative definitions. In other words, it says nobody in this clip exists (even the pro-Israel guy doesn't deny Zionism is Israel's ideology)
In 1987, the debate over Zionism, racism, and Palestinian rights was already decades old. In 1975, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 3379, declaring Zionism a form of racism and racial discrimination, a resolution that remained in effect until its repeal in

So her views are in line with the majority of the British public.
Imagine in the year 2026 after the crimes we have witnessed with our own eyes being committed against the Palestinians, putting out hit pieces like this. So out of touch.

It's a complete mystery how this has happened
British workers have become more disengaged from their jobs in the past decade, according to data that also shows job satisfaction has plunged to its lowest level in the survey’s 35-year history ft.trib.al/EPjMBj3

I'm confused, is it now BBC policy that they should not invite on anyone who has made a racist remark? That's like half their guests.
The BBC has admitted it should not have invited an influencer who has been accused in the past of making remarks that were anti-Semitic and in support of the Iranian regime to be a guest on a live television show.

serious, credible, respected genuine journalist
This is partly a consequence of the rise of the self-declared “political commentator”: people with no obvious relevant insight, experience or expertise who get invited onto TV shows because they’re willing to adopt whatever hardline position the producers want for a fiery “debate” - often a position that no serious, credible, respected genuine journalist or commentator is willing to argue.

Mamdani went undercover at the New York City marathon passing out water and congratulating runners on the route.
This may seem harmless but it is actually an extension of the practices of the fifth leader of the Abbasid caliphate Harun al-Rashid (786–809 CE) who would go into the city in disguise in order to assess the unguarded sentiments of his subjects.

Another one straight out of the Corbyn-era playbook, this: when the party gets a load of new members (oh no!) who aren't afraid to talk back to senior figures (noooooo!!!), suddenly politicians are responsible for policing random supporters' tone online

Adrian Ramsay a pretty standard example of something that drives loads of UK politics/media: he is, or sees himself as, part of an elite. He doesn't want that status taken away from him. Hoi polloi expressing their democratic view is a nightmare.
