“This landscape of destruction looks otherworldly. Yet it’s not. It is this world. And what is happening may yet come to define one of its darkest eras. One that casts a stain on humanity that will endure for generations.”
We're appalled by more reports that Israeli airstrikes have killed children in Gaza this week, including strikes on hospitals and displacement camps.
Every day, more children are killed as Israel intensifies its lethal assault on Gaza.
The UK Government has enabled these attacks by continuing to approve the supply of arms transfers to the Government of Israel and granting Israel with the impunity to continue committing atrocities in Gaza.
How many more devastating headlines do the public have to read before our government takes action?
The UK must act now to end its complicity, including by suspending all arms transfers to the Government of Israel and holding all perpetrators of violations accountable.
The UK must not be an ally to Israel's atrocities.
Today the UK Government has been taken to court over it's ongoing exports of F-35 components to Israel.
The UK has enabled attacks on civilians by continuing to approve the supply of British-made parts for F-35 fighter jets - despite acknowledging last year the clear risk that they are being used to commit violations of international law.
While the Government defends their continued supply of lethal arms to Israel in court, children are being killed by bombs and bullets at an unprecedented rate.
Children who survive airstrikes are being injured so badly their limbs need to be amputated - often without anaesthetic, because there isn't any left.
Keir Starmer, David Lammy: history is watching you. Is this what you want your legacy to be?
The UK Government must immediately suspend all arms to Israel, including parts for the F-35 fighter jets being used to kill and maim children. The UK Government must not be an ally to Israel's atrocities.
BREAKING: Susan Sarandon, Frankie Boyle and Olivia Cooke are among the 600+ signatories on an open letter condemning the @BBC following its refusal to air the documentary “Gaza: Medics Under Fire”. 1/5

Today, the UK government is being taken to court over arms sales to Israel.
We know that arming Israel is morally indefensible. @GLAN_LAW and @alhaq_org have my full support in proving it is legally indefensible too.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.
“We are breaking the bodies and the minds of the children of Gaza."
A brave group of activists set out with a boat and food to do what they could and Israel drone bombed their boat.
It's medieval levels of evil but with fighter jets and drones
We agree that Israel's blocking of humanitarian aid into Gaza is unacceptable.
But more words without action do nothing to bring an end to Israel's siege of Gaza.
The UK must urgently suspend all arms transfers to Israel and take meaningful action to hold perpetrators accountable and end Israel's impunity.
The UK must not be an ally to atrocities.
I call bullshit.
Israel has released a report into their killing of 15 healthcare workers, blaming it on "professional failures"
It wasn't a "professional failure" it was a professional execution.
One day our children will ask how we let this happen. How will we answer them?
You can’t tell yourself you have nothing to do with this.
You can’t say it’s hideous that terrified kids are being blown out of buildings, but it’s not your problem.
Your government is facilitating this.
The world knows it. And one day, you will reap the whirlwind.

On Wednesday, @WDCouncil will discuss doing one of three things to Dalmuir Golf Course
1️⃣ Keep it open but increase fees (the correct move)
2️⃣ Reduce it from 18 holes to 12 (a terrible move)
3️⃣ Close it altogether (the worst move)
They will claim they anticipate making a £145k subsidy to maintain the course at current levels for 2024/25. If only they invested in some marketing or in ancillary provisions such as catering etc... you know, other revenue streams.
They state: "Closure of this facility would mean there would be no publicly accessible golf facilities within West Dunbartonshire. However there are a number of private golf course in close proximity."
Pardon?!
The equivalence between public golf and private golf is either woefully misinformed or an attempt to deliberately mislead.
I note there is no apparent consideration given to a community asset transfer, nor does there appear to have been any attempt to engage with Scottish Golf, the national governing body which successfully supported another public course, Hollandbush, in its own recent fight for survival.
I am left to draw the conclusion that @WDCouncil has already given up on Dalmuir.
But I and thousands of others have not.
So, please, if you haven't already, join us in signing this petition.
The time is now.
The need is urgent.
The cause is worthy.

Israel has chosen to mark the first days of Ramadan by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Still, our government refuses to implement sanctions and defend international law.
There is no other way of putting it: this is a resumption of genocide — and our government is complicit.
ICC issues arrest warrants for alleged war crimes & crimes against humanity for 🇮🇱Netanyahu & Gallant for intentionally & knowingly “depriving the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival…food, water, & medicine…as well as fuel & electricity"🇵🇸
