A brief history of Hamas and Al Shifa Hospital, Gaza.

'Armed Militants inside Shifa are one of the Hospitals biggest problems.'

'Many of them use their military muscle to try and get special treatment.'

July 2006 during Hamas-Fatah civil war.

'a doctor in Gaza who believes Hamas officials are hiding either in the basement or in a separate underground area underneath the hospital...
he believes Hamas is aware that they are putting civilians in harm’s way.'

Wideangle, PBS, 13 Jan 2009

Ken Loach in 1987 tried to direct Perdition.

Written by Jim Allen, it was based on soviet antisemitic propaganda which 'took the greatest tragedy in Jewish history, the Holocaust, and transformed it into a product of Jewish treachery from which Zionists benefitted.'
'that Zionism and Hitler "needed" one another. According to one of the lead characters in the play, the Jews of Hungary "were murdered not just by the force of German arms but by calculated treachery of their own Jewish leaders".'
Dr Stephen Roth: "Perdition is a libel against all those who lived through and fought and mostly perished in the Holocaust."

Know who Ken Loach really is. 3/3

Labour leadership hopeful Ian Lavery:

Is a convicted football hooligan.

"That is why I have absolutely no respect for the police." 1/7
He was actually fined £200, not £1,000 that he claims.

Perhaps he might have remembered how much it was if he had paid the fine himself, and not got the NUM to pay it on his behalf, something which they appear to have done on many occasions (see upcoming thread). 2
He evidently liked showing his lack of respect for the police during the miners' strike, being the first arrested in Northumberland & was arrested at least '6 or 7 times' [too many to count?], usually for assaults on the police. 3

Exclusive.

You have heard the claims that Corbyn wanted to close down MI5, here is the evidence:

'bosses striking force: dissolution of special squads... Special Branch, MI5'. 1/6
Corbyn was elected (in 1st place) to the steering committee of the Socialist Campaign for a Labour Victory (SCLV).

Promoting a manifesto that not only campaigned to dissolve MI5, but that 'the capitalist police are an enemy of the working class'. 2
SCLV manifesto mixed sensible ideas, along with current crazy Labour policies, along with even more lunacy.

'Make the bosses pay, not the working class. Millions for hospitals, not a penny for defence!'

'Nationalise the banks & financial institutions without compensation.' 3

In nearly every major riot over the last 40 years, Corbyn has either supported the rioters or castigated the police.

For example Corbyn campaigned for the 'rioters' who in 2009 attacked Downing St & the Israeli embassy. 1/10

Of course Corbyn himself was at this event and was one of the rabble-rousers who spurred on the crowd. 2

During the 1994 Hyde Park riots, Corbyn who had chaired the demo said:

"The police deliberately charged the demonstrators"

And "blamed police incompetence for the way in which the demonstration erupted into violence." 3
