The story of Zinaida Portnova, the 16 year old girl who took the lives of more than 100 Nazis by poisoning their food. She was captured by the Gestapo, and while being interrogated, she disarmed the Nazi detective and shot him in the head. In her attempt to escape, she executed…

What Zionists cannot tolerate are Jews carrying the Palestinian flag.

Palestine WILL WIN 🇵🇸

PALESTINE WILL BE FREE 🇵🇸

Happy #InternationalWorkersDay from us and Workers for a Free Palestine who today shut down the Department for Business and Trade ✊

The liberation of the international working class depends on the dismantling of capitalism, imperialism, and all forces that exploit workers around the world. 🛠

Led by the richest Prime Minister in history, the Tory government is rounding-up people seeking asylum and plans to deport them 4,500 miles away.

This cruelty is about punching down, scapegoating refugees for crises created by the Tories.

It's repulsive and must be rejected.

🚨 National Demonstration Announcement

🇵🇸 #Nakba76 #EndtheGenocide 🇵🇸

⏰Sat 18 May - 12 Noon 📷 Central London

76th anniversary of the ethnic cleansing & colonisation that saw 750,000 Palestinians driven into exile, whilst Israel's genocide in Gaza continues.
Join us! 🇵🇸

#MayDay4Palestine ✊🏽🇵🇸

Israel's deliberate starvation of Gaza is a war crime.

Today I told the Government that if it now refuses to fund UNRWA, it will be aiding and abetting Israel's war crimes.

Nothing can justify Israeli airstrikes and bombing of Rafah, Gaza’s largest refugee camp where 1.7 million Palestinian civilians are sheltering

This is Terrorism. This is genocide. Yet our political leaders are complicit

Israel does not want peace. It wants Gaza. Ceasefire Now

📣📣BREAKING: Students at the University of Manchester have set-up camp! Come along, join them and provide support! 📣📣

As the genocide in Gaza continues relentlessly, and following the recent wave of student escalation across the world against their complicit institutions,…

Forced starvation and malnutrition at the hands of British and Israeli colonisers🇧🇩🇵🇸

💥🇵🇸💥 I believe that we will win!!
