To promote the Labour Party amongst Arab communities in the UK, and bring Arab voices into the Labour Party.

[Arab Labour Group @ArabLabour]

Ahead of tomorrows parliamentary debate on Israel, we have written to Keir Starmer and Lisa Nandy to demand that Labour show real support for the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people by backing sanctions against Israel for its violations of international law #SanctionsNow

[Workers in Palestine @WorkersinPales1]

Palestinian Trade Unions call for immediate and urgent action from international Trade Unions. For translations and model motion see here https://t.co/3HkvttYAIO #SaveSheikhJarrah #Gaza #Solidarity

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

It's sickening that in recent years the British Government has licensed hundreds of millions of pounds of military exports to Israel.

All arms sales to Israel should be banned and sanctions placed on Israel for its repeated violations of international law.

[PACBI - BDS movement @PACBI]

Goooooool.

@HamzaChoudhury1 & @Wesley_Fofanaa keep Palestinians in their hearts as they celebrate @LCFC's first ever #FACupFinal win.

Athletes are showing support for Palestinian rights.

Meanwhile @Puma supports Israeli apartheid.

Choose #BoycottPuma not #PumaFam. #InOurHands

[Arab Labour Group @ArabLabour]

It is great to see that someone takes human rights seriously and has the moral courage to speak out against the atrocities committed by Israel.

[Bar Human Rights Committee of England & Wales @BarHumanRights]

BHRC has written to @DominicRaab regarding the urgent and escalating situation in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory.

@Labour's response to the article demonstrates the problem. Their failure to understand that there are people who are both British and Palestinian that are being silenced, ignored and marginalised is a domestic Labour problem. It seems that Labour does not get racism . 3/3

[Arab Labour Group @ArabLabour]

@Keir_Starmer ignoring 5 letters from prominent British Palestinians.
“The leader is practically treating the whole community as outcasts and is refusing to meet or even respond. The message is loud and clear: I don’t care about you or your issues.” 1/3

[Arab Labour Group @ArabLabour]

This is not isolated from the broader picture: some Black Labour members are leaving the party over racism concerns. Black Labour MPs accused @Labour's the party of “failing to take racism seriously” after the publication of the Forde Report was indefinitely delayed. 2/3

[Arab Labour Group @ArabLabour]

We call on the Labour Party to stand with Palestinians in the struggle for their inalienable rights. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Is supporting Israeli settlements a @Keir_Starmer /@UKLabour policy now?

[Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) @MABOnline1]

Our statement on @Keir_Starmer pulling out of a Ramadan Iftar due to the host’s support for boycotting dates grown on illegal Israeli settlements.

The demonisation facing those who campaign for the rights of Palestinians must end and the right to boycott must be protected.

[Arab Labour Group @ArabLabour]

For years, we've known that dates farmed on illegal settlements end up in our shops. For many, a boycott is a peaceful stand against these wrongs. Where does today's Labour stand: with victims of human rights abuse or the perpetrators? https://t.co/CleUkGUlkx

[Arab Labour Group @ArabLabour]

A great report on the criminalisation of speech on Palestine and the Palestinian experience of British colonialism. Unfortunately it seems that #Labour is not interested in this kind of racism.

[Labour Friends of Yemen @LabourYemen]

On #InternationalCivilAviationDay, we call for the need to reopen Sana’a airport.
This is vitally important for #Yemen to get:
-Essential medical equipment and medicine to rescue the health service.
-To provide stability for the economy.
– Emergency food for the starving nation

British complicity in the bloodshed in Yemen

[Labour Campaign for Human Rights @LabourCHR]

“We are giving with one hand and enabling deaths with the other.”

The UK has a tangible role in prosecuting the war in Yemen. As the humanitarian crisis deepens, UK arms companies cannot be allowed to profit from slaughter in Yemen, as Bill Nighy outlines below⬇️
