The Bundists believed in doikayt — "hereness." That liberation, dignity, and a beautiful Jewish life had to be built here, where we live, in solidarity with the people next to us and everywhere. Not at someone else's expense.

Britain as a Ponzi scheme, not a country

It’s very hard to digest how the explicit antimuslim racism on display in the streets of London on Saturday is passing by with no consequences. Very hard not to feel like we’re regarded as second class citizens and fair game to be sacrificed on the alter of pacifying angry voters. Very hard & scary.

temporarily ban private jet travel amid jet fuel shortages now.

The 34 pro Palestinian/anti genocide marches have not had a single arrest for violence towards Jewish people. The fear that's being generated is entirely misplaced

On May 16 we will march for Palestine on Nakba78 - and to protest our government handing over London’s central political space for Tommy Robinson’s racist and fascist rally. www.jewishsocialist.org.uk/news/item/in... @jvl.org.uk @naamoduk.bsky.social @jewdas.org @jfjfp.bsky.social

Busy few days campaigning to elect @zoegarbett.bsky.social mayor and elected a set of @hackneygreenparty.bsky.social and Hackney socialist independent councillors!

Jewish safety can’t be built on Palestinian erasure — not in Britain, not in Palestine. That idea brutalises Palestinians. It also degrades Jews by making our security rest on their dispossession.

In a defeat for the government, peers backed a proposal by the Lib Dem's to have local councils strip private companies of their ability to fine people where they are found to have a financial incentive to issue FPNs- the Labour Party on the side of dodgy companies.

All the Labour councillors who are about to lose their seats next month can take comfort in the thought that Margaret Hodge will get them a job.

@hackneyabbott.bsky.social doing what she does best- speaking truth to power!

Let’s not lay all the blame for our poisoned geopolitics at Israel’s feet. USA/UK/Europe and others that have been enabling Israel’s genocide in Gaza has not made only the butchery in Lebanon – but the entire war that’s currently destabilising the Middle East – possible.

The 6 month anniversary of the 'ceasefire' in Gaza- in that time Israel has violated the agreement 100's of times, bombing, shooting, raiding, and demolishing buildings, killing 100's more Palestinians and expanding areas in the Occupied Terrorises

Only Greens can beat Reform

Labour councils are more interested in striking deals with developers than delivering for residents- we need mass council homes being built across the country.

Karl Turner MP has fallen foul of Labour’s Ministry of Permitted Opinion, where criticism of Sir Keir Starmer is treated like witchcraft: denunciation first, questions later, and exile by teatime. Another victim of the Labour Party.

Israel's conviction rate of Palestinians (in military courts) is 99.74% Israel's conviction rate of reported settler attacks on Palestinians is 1.8% Israel's death sentence will only apply against Palestinians not Israeli Jews It's not complicated. It's Apartheid!

Spain closes its airspace, Starmer allows America to use army bases in the UK to bomb and murder people around the world in an illegal war.
