The extent to which Brexit was fuelled by bigotry directed at Eastern European immigrants, especially those from Poland, has been somewhat memory holed and forgotten in recent years.

הוציאו אותי מהמליאה רק כי העליתי את הדרישה הפשוטה ביותר, דרישה שכל הקהילה הבינלאומית מסכימה עליה:

להכיר במדינה פלסטינית.

להכיר במציאות הפשוטה הזו:

יש כאן שני עמים, ואף אחד לא זז מכאן.

Fair?

Yup, and so it will be every time the fascists try to exploit survivors’ suffering.

I was proud to open the day today on behalf of survivors everywhere ✊🏻❤️

Funny how they never make this connection for Gaza.

So you're saying if we'd sprayed stuff white and then put a red cross on it the media would have supported us?

You live and learn I guess.

“We had one chance to leave Gaza, early in the war. At that time our lives had grown very difficult. We’d been displaced. We sat down and had a family discussion, and the consensus in the family was not to leave. We’d just learned that our house was still standing, so we thought: ‘We’re luckier than others.’ One month later the Philadelphi corridor was closed, and the option to leave was exhausted. But we still thought we would be OK. We thought the war would end soon, as we think now, as we thought a year ago, as we thought two years ago. And at least we were together. Our family has always been extremely close. I care for my patients, I care for my friends, but not the way I care for my family. Especially my mother. All people say that their mother is a saint, but she was actually a saint. She hated no one. She loved everyone. When I was a child she worked as a schoolteacher, and her school was next to mine, so in the mornings we would walk to school together. I don’t know why I remember this—but she’d always walk between me and the sun. So that I could stand in her shadow. It’s a simple memory, but it means a lot to me. I was always the most attached to her. Maybe everyone in our family feels the same way, but this is my feeling. I told jokes only for her, so that she would laugh. I specialized in medicine just to make her happy. I was a resilient teenager. I wanted to be a writer. But she confronted me. She told me: ‘Life on Earth is a short journey, and you should help people. Because we believe in God. And we believe there is more than just this life.’ Everything, all the things I have done, I have done to please her. And I let her down. I let her down. Because it was my decision. Three days before she was killed, I evacuated her to a safer place. And the safer place got bombed.”

Dr. Mohammad Kullab graduated from Al Quds University as a doctor in 2019. He’s worked at Nasser Hospital and the European Gaza Hospital. At the outbreak of the war, he had just returned to Gaza from a clinical attachment in the UK with the intention of returning. His passport was in transit to be certified when it was lost in the action and he was unable to leave. He joined Doctors Without Borders in the beginning of 2024, where he now works as a medical doctor. Dr Kullab’s job is to deal with patients directly and coordinate their care across various specialists.
Dr. Kullab’s story is part of a series featuring the Palestinian staff of @MSF_USA in Gaza. I will be sharing these stories over the next several days.

It’s estimated Gaza had as much, likely more, explosives dropped on it as Dresden, Hamburg and London in WW2. Little wonder it looks like this. Not filmed with anything fancy, just an iPhone through a window. There’s no avoiding the scale of destruction. https://t.co/CFrVtiEh9J

Re-post if you agree.

@ManOfKent15 @RachelReevesMP You do realise that pretty much all immigrants pay taxes.
That's why they migrate, to work!
Except asylum seekers who are barred from working . We could let them work while their claims are assessed?
Though plenty would moan at that.
The hotels owners do alright.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is cheaper than accepting homelessness.”

On a Thameslink train to Brighton (that started in Cambridge, went thru Central London).

It has no wifi, no plug sockets, no USB chargers.

It's 2025 and most passengers have their tickets on their phone.

Yet we pay the highest fares in Europe for this ...

Being willing to plunge 450,000 folk into poverty because toughdecions™️ doesn’t make you hard.

It does however make you a bastard.

[Omar Hamad | عُـمَـرْ 𓂆 @OmarHamadD]

When I gaze at the beauty of nature around the world and can only access it through a phone screen, I ask myself: is it because I was born in a place I didn’t choose that I’m forced to endure things no human should ever have to bear or even imagine the horror of?

Just the thought that I might live and die having experienced nothing in life but pain, loss, and tears, while knowing that there’s a beautiful side of the world I will never reach because of a geographical coincidence, drives me mad every single day.

It makes me ache even more than the pain I already live through in Gaza.
