Typically ridiculous, supporters of genocidal apartheid Israel denounce NY Mayor Mamdani for ending racist orders equating criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism. As a Jew, I salute Mayor Mamdani for this principled and honest decision.

By Liel's definition, the leaders of all the Western nations who decided to recognize the State of Palestine last year are Jew-haters (they aren't actually, and neither is Mamdani. In fact, if it weren't for one Jew—Brad Lander—the vast majority of the world wouldn't know who Zohran Mamdani is!).

I’m not the only Jew who refuses to conflate Netanyahu and his government with Judaism, nor opposition to them as antisemitism. They are desperate for Mamdani to fail.

Jew here… I am absolutely dismissing concerns from Jewish New Yorkers about Mamdani as pure, uncut Islamophobia. Hope that helps the dude in your mentions.

On #HumanRights Day, remembering this @atd4thworld.bsky.social campaign for the indivisibility of rights in the U.K. and beyond. ‬⁩ @justfairuk.bsky.social @amnestyuk.bsky.social @koldocasla.bsky.social

On #HumanRightsDay we reiterate that human rights cannot be applied selectively. #OurEverydayRights are also the rights of Palestine Refugees. What is at stake are the values enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and international law. Human Rights must be upheld without exception.

Happy #HumanRightsDay! Starmer has chosen to mark it by... kicking off negotiations on how to water down our human rights 🤯 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The ECHR protects all of us, so we should all be worried about changes that amount to "human rights... except for those people"

Of course there's much more work to do to overcome poverty for families, but this is a very important step!

Labour is scrapping the two child benefit cap to deliver on our historic moral mission of tackling child poverty.

Scrapping the two-child limit *is* welfare reform. Defining ‘reform’ solely as ‘cut’ is one reason why it’s proved so difficult

The abandonment of its citizens in captivity in favor of pursuing the messianic ideology of the radical right, in addition to the rampant repression of government critics, has rendered Israel a failed state. My new oped @haaretzcom.bsky.social www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Scrap the two-child limit now!

Every family should be able to afford food and heating. But the two-child benefit cap is pushing families to the edge. Many of them are working. Removing the cap is the simplest way to protect struggling families - help us call for change now 👉 bit.ly/4ovyIAj

The UK cannot just end the two-child limit on benefits. It must end the benefit cap too, writes Ruth Talbot, founder of Single Parent Rights.
