*Thread* “Viva Palestina” was an overt Hamas support operation run by George Galloway around the turn of the decade. Take a wild guess who backed it. “The greatest admiration and respect", “absolutely incredible”, “well done them”. Yes, Corbyn. 1/13

When the first Viva Palestina convoy arrived in Gaza, Galloway made a point of handing stacks of cash to Hamas, in the open and for the cameras, in deliberate violation of sanctions against the terrorist group. This is what Corbyn was praising. 2/13

Hamas was immensely grateful for this support, calling the convoy participants “heroes”. Recognition was granted at the highest terrorist levels. Here Galloway and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh embrace. 3/13
Here Galloway strikes a pose with top Hamas official Ahmed al-Kurd (right). The man on the left is Sabagh al-Mukhtar, a rank antisemite who Galloway called his “right hand man” in Viva Palestina. 4/13
Here Hamas leader Marzouk (at the microphone) joins Galloway and a convoy crew at a rally in Syria. At the left hand end of the table is Mohammed Sawalha. At the right hand end is Zaher al-Birawi. Both are top Hamas UK operatives and were key players in Viva Palestina. 5/13
Yay, Hamas banners! Let’s party! 6/13
The brutal regimes of Assad in Syria and Gedaffi in Libya also backed the convoys, including the provision of material support. Galloway is of course a great friend of tyrants and no friend of oppressed Muslims. Another draw for Corbyn, there. 7/13
Not long after the convoys, some of the "Viva Palestina” participants “graduated” to jihad. Alexanda Kotey was one of them. He linked up with “Jihadi John” of Islamic State in the unspeakably vicious group known as the “Beatles”. 8/13

Munir Farooqi, a former Taliban fighter, was another. In 2011, he was given four life sentences for terrorist recruitment in the UK. 9/13

Jamal al-Harith joined Viva Palestina too. He went on to become a suicide bomber for Islamic State. 10/13

The terror stories came as no surprise to close observers of Viva Palestina. It was a gathering of some of Britain’s nastiest extremists, burning with hatred and backing jihad. 11/13
Corbyn, though, was well keen. “Let them in!” He was keen precisely because it was an awful crew. These were his people. Solidarity! 12/13

Corbyn is no “man of peace”. On the contrary, he supports haters, extremists and terrorists. Do not buy the “working for peace” lies from his camp. Do not vote for his party. 13/13

*Thread* John McDonnell is President of the Labour Representation Committee (LRC), a far-left group. Earlier today, Andrew Marr noted requests from the Jewish community that he step down on the grounds that the LRC has said “some very, very damaging and worrying things”. 1/12
McDonnell won’t resign. He’s “working within the LRC to challenge those issues”, you see, and thinks he can “turn the LRC round on these particular issues”. 2/12

So, how is he doing? Not very well, it seems, judging by the posts on the LRC Facebook account in recent weeks. This post is pinned to the top. It is a blunt attack on the Chief Rabbi by "Jewish Voice for Labour” (JVL). 3/12

*Thread* What will happen to dissent under Prime Minister Corbyn? Some unfortunate Iranian exiles can provide a preview from a “Stop the War Coalition” demonstration at the US Embassy in London. That’s Corbyn on the demo platform, in front of a huge Hezbollah banner. 1/8
The Iranians raise a "Free Iran" banner. Corbyn's crew are there to protect the regime in Tehran, so they're not having it. They wade into the crowd, manhandle the Iranians, and tear the banner down. 2/8

From the stage, Corbyn berates the Iranians with "stop this misbehaviour" and hectoring about "western forces who will benefit in oil" if Iran is attacked. Below, his crony Chris Nineham leads the thugs taking the banner down. The Hezbollah banners are left aloft, of course. 3/8

Note this line from Corbyn's infamous "friends" salute to Hamas and Hezbollah: "I refuse to be dragged into this stuff that somehow or other because we’re pro-Palestinian, we’re antisemitic, it’s a nonsense." 1/8
Corbyn said this at the "Meet The Resistance" meeting while lining up with his fellow speaker Abou Jahjah. Jahjah is a hideous antisemite who was banned from the UK just after the "friends" meeting. 2/8
Corbyn was indignant because he had indeed been called to account for this meeting, including on Abou Jahjah. I know because I was involved. 3/8

How to HACK Your Way Into People's Hearts...FAST!

In this short write-up, I want to share a powerful skill that I was forced to learn when I was dead broke

This is the skill of getting people to like you fast...and sometimes help you out as a result

#thread
Because of this skill, I can meet someone for the first time and get them to really like me (that is if I like you though because I intentionally limit my circle of people. So I usually put up my "No BS shield" most of the time)
And because of this skill, I usually avoid certain situations with women because I usually end up getting into trouble when the woman begins to develop feelings.

1/ HOW TO ARRIVE AT A BILL: LESSON FOR CREATIVES

So let's talk about how to bill for Creatives, in this case, photographers. Any artist can definitely work around this too. A thread inspired by @MayorUyo question

This #Thread will give you an idea of how to go about it
2/ deciding how to bill clients without making it a guess work. This thread works with estimates, so you decide on your costs based on your reality/location.

Here it is:

It takes a process. With a lot of valuation.
That helps give a base line cost

Values your gear

Say
3/ that comes to ₦600,000

So you use a ₦600,000 equipment on the average to shoot.

If you forcast they will become unable due to age or wear in 2 years, that's mean

Every shoot (if you do 12 a year) cost your ₦25,000 in equipment.

For a better estimate, you would

Thread: On the Enemies Within – Internal Threats to the American Republic

1. Nations throughout history are naturally focused on external threats and security measures, e.g., strong military capabilities and strong border control.
2. However, the real threat to empires is almost always from within. [I am speaking here in general terms of the “superpower” of a given age, as small countries can of course be overwhelmed by the large – and have been throughout history]
3. History is replete with nations and empires falling due to internal enemies, whether ideological, cultural, complacency, dilution, or loss of nerve.

THREAD. Nell'indifferenza dei media internazionali, il quotidiano Israel ha-yom ha pubblicato i possibili dettagli del "piano del secolo" di Donald Trump per porre fine alla decennale questione #Israele - #Palestina, che sarà annunciato probabilmente dopo il ramadan. Dettagli 👇
Resta la soluzione dei due stati, figlia di Oslo, con la nascita di un nuovo stato chiamato "Nuova #Palestina", sulla base di un accordo tripartito che sarà firmato tra #Israele, l'OLP e Hamas. Lo stato comprenderà striscia di Gaza e Cisgiordania, insediamenti israeliani esclusi
Fondamentale il nodo #Gerusalemme. La città non sarà divisa tra Israele e "Nuova #Palestina" ma i palestinesi che la abitano saranno cittadini del nuovo stato. Il controllo municipale resta allo stato ebraico. Le due comunità si impegnano a non acquistare case e suoli degli altri

[Thread] The -isms: a very generalized guide. I've wanted to do this for a long time, sparked by how often "#socialism" is thrown about as a catch-all for a variety of vastly different philosophies. I hope BEGIN a #Threaducation here. So, let's talk about this.
First off, let me be CLEAR: These are complex ideas and I am just trying to give a brief overview of the basic distinctions for those who don't know and (hopefully) for those who throw all these ideas together. I make no real endorsements, just try to point out all sides.
It is my FERVENT hope that #AcademicTwitter, #Twitterstorians, political scientists, and philosophers will step up and contribute to this #Thread or use it as a jumping off point for deeper explanations (and/or corrections) of my admittedly general summaries.

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."
