The US needs Islamophobia to breed support for attacking Muslim majority countries

People from all over the UK congregated on Liverpool today, to tell the odious Keir Starmer & all his ‘yes men & women’ that this genocide has to stop now. It was a brilliant display of solidarity & I’m as proud of this movement as I am disgusted by those ignoring 40,000+ dead.
