A CEO of a pro-Palestine charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) is running for an election under the anti-Palestinian Labour party. This will leave the charity without leadership and volunteers are upset and are asking her to resign.

Melanie Ward, CEO of the Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) charity, faces major backlash from volunteers and workers after deciding to run as a Labour Party candidate in Scotland. Some 2,250 healthcare workers, medical volunteers, supporters, and donors signed a letter expressing concern.

On June 5, a protest letter was filed by workers and volunteers at MAP, expressing their dismay to the board over Ward’s candidacy with the UK Labour Party. To run for the position of MP in Scotland’s Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath constituency, Ward has taken a leave of absence but has not stepped down from her position.

And you bet she hates

Ward also supported the anti-Semitism “witch hunt” during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, which purged much of Labour’s pro-Palestinian base, including many Jewish anti-Zionists. She tweeted, “Farewell to Jeremy Corbyn, who really was a truly terrible Labour Party Leader. He will be missed not one little bit by those of us who want to see Labour in government again.”

In 2016, she signed a letter calling for Corbyn’s resignation, shared an article urging the public not to vote for him and tweeted the former Labour leader in 2015, “Corbyn unable to think of situation where he’d commit Forces to military action. Should think a bit harder if he wants to be PM,” in response to his anti-war stance.

I've always been worried about the leadership behind some of these charities since they take in a ton of money these days and they seem to be based in Western countries. Now my worries have been justified.

One sentence takedown: "no one voted for hitler, he was appointed by his harm reduction opponent to the chancellory."

Oh the knotweed, I pull knotweed along a local walking path (I need to talk to the town about herbicide but there's a waterway nearby so probs a bad idea). I pulled enough this year to see a duck return to swim in the water, but those underground vines mean they'll always come back.

Irrelevant and unserious people says what?

These irrelevant asswipes again. I hope communism remains a dirty word in the US just so these chucklefucks have to wear it like a ball and chain when they try suck up to the libs the way they're doing. Maybe they'll switch names then, then I can return to ignoring them forever

There's no point in covering your true intentions when you believe you will never face the consequences of your actions.

it’s clear that the US has discredited its claim as the upholder of the “rules-based international order”.

I'm just interested in who the subject is in this article. Who arbitrates the holding of the title for the so-called "upholder of the rules-based international order"? The US made that title up and foisted it onto itself. And even if it didn't want that title anymore it could just make up another one.

"World power" is already a flimsily-made Top 5 fave-ass social status for a nation, and if you want to define things like the US hegemony as the US being "the world's only superpower" then that's kind of already been busted. There are vast swaths of the world right now that don't recognize US hegemony - most of Asia, the Sahel states now, parts South America and now even some parts of Europe. US had to blow the stomach out of the Fico guy in Slovakia to stop the bleeding. If friggin Slovakia doesn't care for your shit it's over, son. Somebody is going to fill those voids, and of course it doesn't have to be just one country.

US will be taking it's broken pier back for repairs.

It was totally still working after a big chunk of it floated off, that's just classic pier-teething problems, dummy. But we have to take the pier back now because it's slightly damaged and the starving Palestinians can probably wait longer it's fine.

EDIT: also AP: "after damage from rough seas" - pretty sure it just regular waves bud.

So ... the IOF calls for evacuations for this settlement that's literally a stone's toss away from the border with Lebanon, and these chucklefucks stick around. Then they get bombed and the bad decisions of the government are to blame, so they are going to fire the IOF and start a volunteer SS division to fight all of Hezbollah? Am I getting that right?

If so I wish the settlement the worst of luck!

The double standard there is a symptom of the greater problem: Westerners don't view Muslim people or really anyone over the bosphorus straight as human.

Good takedown, even though I don't know who this loser is.

This dude's drivel all seems to boil down to "pls stop killing for capitalism and start killing for da lord pls." Fascism wrapped in basic critiques of capitalism, I hate it.

Yeah, who eats bread? who goes out of their way to buy that shit?

Yeah Hexbear has a problem with "being normal". Always has, it's why the podcast wanted to distance themselves from the r/chapotraphouse subreddit.

Really think about what "bullying works!" with no context added would look like to a normie. Complete insanity. I want to distance myself from this site whenever it gets brought up.

It was too loud for combat and gave hearing problems to some troops lmao.

(Al Jazeera) United Nations General Assembly backs Palestinian bid for membership

Resolution does not give Palestine full UN membership, but recognises them as qualified to join and extends rights.

143 yes, 9 no, 25 abstained.

And here is the list of countries exact votes. US, Israel, and US puppet regimes are predictably the no votes: https://twitter.com/Raminho/status/1788956393438859580

Imagine how bullshit it would be for people like George W Bush or Netinyahu to outlive you.

What happened to get him banned from twitch? I keep hearing they screwed him over from chatters but those couldve been dick riders.

He said sike on this before already, why would trying this again work?

He looks sooo upset.
