🚨 ISRAELI SETTLERS BURN PALESTINIAN VILLAGES IN REVENGE FOR TRUMP-IRAN PEACE DEAL.
Israeli settlers just torched multiple villages in the West Bank.
This is how they act when diplomacy and peace threatens their blood-thirst wars.

As British Jews we resist any attempt to recruit us to the Israeli settler colonial project
We reject the use of our faith and culture to justify occupation, war crimes and genocide

🚨 BREAKING: Children were among the victims after an Israeli airstrike hit a tent sheltering displaced families west of Gaza City.
At least 6 civilians were killed and dozens more injured, including many children, in the strike on the displacement camp.
HORRIFIC: Israeli settler terrorists attacked the Christian village of Taybeh and the village of Dayr Jarir, burning down tens of dunams of land and olive trees.
Residents are pleading with nearby villages to help put out the fires.

🧵1/ In the coming days, the Finnish 🇫🇮 parliament will vote on the government’s proposal to repeal the law that bans nuclear weapons from the country. However a new poll has found that only 18% support the deployment of nuclear weapons in the country. 📚➡️https://t.co/TyQyPB5WRR
Amnesty International’s Agnes Callamard has called on Israel to release Dr Hussam Abu Safia, the director of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan hospital, following reports that he was moved to solitary confinement in Israel’s Nafha prison.

@TheNewsAgents@wesstreeting@lewis_goodall Robin Cook acted with integrity and principle not ‘with a placard’.
He understood power & influence without principle undermines public trust.
That, more than anything brought Starmer & those around him down. Because if you can’t call out a genocide - then what’s the point?
BREAKING: Activists unveil Marwan Barghouti statue in Parliament Square
Today, activists unveiled a new statue of Marwan Barghouti in Parliament Square, but were then intercepted by police.
Marwan Barghouti has been imprisoned by Israel for 24 years, 1 month and 19 days for crimes he did not commit. He was convicted by a court he did not recognise in a trial widely criticised by legal experts and human rights observers.
A sitting Palestinian parliamentarian at the time of his arrest, he remains, more than two decades later, the most popular choice for Palestinian leadership in opinion polls.
Often called ‘Palestine’s Mandela’, he is a powerful symbol of hope and a long-time advocate for freedom and dignity for the Palestinian people.
Nelson Mandela was once politically isolated and labelled a terror*st before being recognised as a global symbol of freedom and justice. Marwan Barghouti faces a similar fate.
The statue may not stand in Parliament Square yet, but we know this is a just cause. One day, Marwan will take his rightful place alongside other civil rights leaders.
Free Marwan. Free Palestine.

WFP has reached more than 60,000 people over the last three weeks with critical food and nutrition assistance. ⚠️ Sustained access and an end to fighting is urgent to reach all those in need. https://t.co/AP1sk6KVOv
More nuclear-capable F-35s in Europe simply means more profits for US arms companies. It’s time to halt the nuclear expansion and close down US bases in Europe for good.

Hospitals in flames and children buried beneath rubble in homes, in flagrant violation of international law, with absolutely no consequences.
Israel is committing another genocide in real time in Lebanon with complete impunity.
Diplomats at an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council were nearly unanimous — with the exception of the United States — in calling for Israel to withdraw its forces from Lebanon and refrain from launching more attacks. https://t.co/sEAdaSioPv
This is extremely shameful when the whole world is silent and toothless on this.
🇦🇺 filmmaker Juliet said: I was raped by an Israeli soldier inside a darkened shipping container while handcuffed and shackled on a Gaza aid flotilla.
They also used water torture and beatings.
Statement from Bishop Dr. Imad Haddad on the Israeli Detainment of Natalie Abudayyeh
This morning a beloved youth from our church community, Natalie Abuddayeh, was taken at gunpoint by Israeli forces from her student apartment in Birzeit alongside three other women. We are deeply shocked and horrified by this news, as well as by the news that her family does not yet know where she has been taken. Natalie is a member of Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Reformation in Beit Jala, a graduate of Talitha Kumi Lutheran School, and a Media and Journalism student at Birzeit University.
As Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land, I unequivocally call for Natalie’s immediate release. The entire ELCJHL stands in solidarity with the Abudayyeh family and the Beit Jala and Birzeit communities, and we join them in earnest prayer for Natalie’s safety and freedom.
We are incredibly disturbed by the reality that Natalie now joins the thousands of Palestinians in Israeli detention without charge or trial. Palestinian civilians, including women and children, suffer deep injustice in Israeli military detention and are often held for months or years with no explanation.
We call on our friends, partners, and siblings in Christ around the world to advocate for Natalie’s freedom using whatever channels are available to them, and to demand an end to this unjust and unequal system of detainment and detention that paralyzes and destroys Palestinian communities.

Following harrowing testimony from French nationals detained by Israel, France has now referred reports of sexual violence, beatings and humiliation against Global Sumud Flotilla activists to prosecutors.
On 21 May, I wrote to the Foreign Secretary demanding urgent action over the interception of the flotilla in international waters, and the detention and degrading treatment of humanitarian volunteers, including British citizens.
France is acting. Spain is showing leadership. Where is the UK government? Nothing but a simp for Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.
Government ministers cannot watch on, wringing their hands, whilst Netanyahu blatantly forces the Palestinians off their land, destroying any hope of a Palestinian state. Total sanctions are the least this government could do & coordinate with other states https://t.co/Y4GJHeo9ks
