I know that much of the "civilized" world is aware that Gaza's children and their families are being murdered in their tents by the gunfire of Israeli soldiers.
I know the "civilized" world has witnessed the systematic slaughter and incineration of families in their shelters for months on end.

But what I am certain the "civilized" world fails to grasp is that Gaza’s children have been deprived of an education for nearly three years. I was under the impression that this world championed the education of children as an inviolable right.

How do you wake up every morning and take your children or grandchildren to school, yet never utter a word or lift a finger for the children of Gaza?
How do you live with this fact?

I assumed that even if these "civilized" nations were indifferent to children languishing in makeshift tents for over 870 days, they would find it unconscionable for infants to be preyed upon by rats. I am left questioning the moral framework this "civilized" world was raised on.
What finally compels it to action, or what might finally deter it from bankrolling war crimes and crimes against humanity.

This photo was taken this morning. The infant remains in critical condition.

I spent sixteen months reporting this story. It was deep, painful, and at times unbearable.

It follows how surveillance tech is rewriting Gaza in real time — and what it’s doing to the people inside it. Read in @NYMag

Whilst facing years on remand before trial, Heba has constantly feared for her family in Gaza who are living through a genocide.

For one chant in support of Palestine whilst in prison, she's been held in solitary confinement before.

She shouldn't be in prison.

[Bryony Littlefair 💥 @B_Littlefair]

110,000 bullets shipped to Israel last month but please do tell me again how the Labour Party is doing their best to prevent the genocide happening before our very eyes on a daily basis

During our successfully conducted visit today to Dr. Husam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, who was arrested in December 2024 and remains incarcerated in Israel, a serious and alarming picture emerged.

Since his arrest, Dr. Abu Safiya has lost approximately 25 kilograms. He suffers from serious scabies and heart problems but is not receiving any medical treatment. It became clear during the visit that Dr. Abu Safiya has not been brought before a judge, investigated, or given any information about the reason for his arrest since March.

[Mark Seddon @MarkSeddon1962]

Still, as far as I can see, not even reported on the @BBCWorld website.

[jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz]

If your first response to hearing that a child has spent nearly six months wasting away in an Israeli prison—cut off from his family, covered in scabies, down 26 pounds—is to ask “But who was he throwing rocks at?” please take a beat and reflect on how you ended up like this.

*who abhorred. Here, left, a man now carried away by police, and right, a woman who infiltrated the police cordon (it's closed to entrants, not leavers) by lying on her back and wiggling inside like a worm.

[Bryony Littlefair 💥 @B_Littlefair]

@Keir_Starmer .... yet this statement (doing nothing as usual to stop the continuous murder, imprisonment, humiliation of Palestinians) frames it as both sides wanting to 'continue down the path of destruction'.

EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU ARE LYING.

[Bryony Littlefair 💥 @B_Littlefair]

@Keir_Starmer It's not a humanitarian crisis but orchestrated starvation of Gaza by Israel.

Hamas has said they would disarm, cede political power and release all the hostages if a sovereign Palestinian state is established (2 state solution which you've always claimed to want!)...

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

In a new and important article The Times has confirmed our scoop about the new US-leased plane flying spy missions over Gaza for Israel from RAF Akrotiri, the UK airbase on Cyprus.

UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) sources told the paper that the government is paying a US company to undertake the spy flights. The flights are now flown by contractors, not UK military pilots, but the MoD would not disclose the length or cost of the contract.

We discovered the new contractor pilot had forgotten to turn off his plane's transponder over Gaza on July 28, giving us the first glimpse of the spy flights' path over Gaza in 20 months of such missions.

A UK military source told The Times it was a "schoolboy error" that would not have happened if the plane had been operated by RAF pilots.

It is a very important article because it's first time distress from within the UK Ministry of Defence about its direct participation in the Gaza genocide has been voiced.

The paper writes: "Patience with Israel inside the MoD appears to be running out...Military sources are baffled by the decision to privatise RAF intelligence-gathering tasks to help Israel, questioning why the government hasn’t pulled support after photographs emerged of starving Palestinians."

A senior British military source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told the newspaper: “Instead of sending a message to Israel that we aren’t going to do surveillance for you, we are happy to hire an American company and pay for it.”

The source added that the aircraft being used by the US company is "essentially the same aircraft [as Shadow R1], being [run] by a civilian company who are for hire. They have US security clearances and therefore allied nations who trust the US can hire them. This is about support for Israel."

The Times added: "Britain’s military support for Israel is at odds with the Foreign Office position, which has been to call out the Israeli government for 'grotesque' treatment of Palestinians and threaten sanctions."

A government source told the paper there would be "several hard drives" of intelligence gathered by British spy planes over Gaza.

Waking up furious every day atm

[Ben Jamal @BenJamal48]

To call this inadequate doesn't begin to convey how grotesque it is on so many levels. The Palestinian people have a right to self determination which is not a bargaining chip to be used to put pressure on their oppressor to end their forced starvation.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the UK will recognize Palestine as a state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire.

[Rivkah Brown @rivkahbrown]

Incredible that Starmer is using recognition of Palestine as a stick to beat Israel, rather than the minimum of dignity Palestinians deserve.

The moral value of this announcement is, by Starmer's own admission, zero.
