Celebrities who risked their careers to support Palestine.
(Shamefully very few big name Hollywood stars)
The âBlack and Tans,â the infamous paramilitary police unit notorious for their brutal tactics in Ireland, were deployed to Mandate Palestine after Irish independence in 1922.
The UK has a history of helping Israel persecute Palestinians.
Starmer needs to be behind bars - corrupt vile piece of filth that he is!

More celebs should step up and take advantage like this.
Now, it looks as though the US has been complicit again, this time bizarrely abetting one ally attacking another.
The swiftly made Israeli statement saying there was no US role in the strike, claiming this was a âwholly independentâ action, brings to mind the old adage ânever believe anything until it is officially deniedâ.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials were telling local media outlets that Trump approved the attack.
The White House says it was notified by the US military, not by Israel, and refused to answer the question of whether the Israelis told their partner they were about to strike its ally.
At best, it makes the most powerful country look like a minor player in its key alliance, unable to protect its other friends.
It will also make any country or group question the point of negotiating with Israel or the US in the future.
Israelâs former generals and master spies have all seen the limits of force, and for at least the last decade have been begging for a political solution instead.
Israelâs new leaders keep ignoring them.
Hi
The UK Government has not concluded that Israel is committing Genocide in Gaza.
Starmer amd Lammy do not speak for me, I have an entirely different view.
I now have absolutely no respect for either of them.
Among the 32 dead reported on Saturday, local time were at least 12 children, according to medical staff in the Al-Shifa Hospitalâs morgue, where the bodies were brought.
Sites in southern Gaza where Israel is telling people to go are overcrowded, according to the UN and it can cost more than $US1,000 ($1,500) in transportation and other costs to move there.
An initiative headed by the UN to bring temporary shelters into Gaza said more than 86,000 tents and other supplies were still awaiting clearance to enter Gaza as of last week.
Israelâs retaliatory offensive has killed at least more than 64,700 Palestinians, according to Gazaâs Health Ministry.
It said around half of those killed were women and children.
Large parts of major cities have been completely destroyed and around 90 per cent of the two million Palestinians there have been displaced.
UNICEF last year estimated about 17,000 Gazan children were left without a carer. But that was an estimate based on the displaced population and the organisation said the true figure was likely to be higher.
A better assessment, it said, comes from the Ministry of Health in Gaza, which estimates more than 40,000 children have been orphaned by the war.
Israelâs economy is built on militarized capitalism. Its $14.8 billion in weapons sales this year alone are propped up by a marketing line as cynical as it is effective: âbattle-testedâ on Palestinians. A prime example is Smartshooterâs weaponry, an Israeli firm, being stocked by the UK military since June 2023 in a ÂŁ4.6-million ($5.7 million) deal.
More recently, Europe became Israelâs biggest arms purchaser, making up to 54 percent of total exports in 2024. In the wake of Brexit and the unpredictability of US President Donald Trumpâs administration, Britain, in particular, has strengthened its defense coordination with Israel in an attempt to reposition itself as a key, relevant player in a multipolar order. Reports indicate London is preparing a $2.69-billion deal with Elbit Systems, Israelâs largest weapons manufacturer, to train 60,000 British soldiers annually.
