I’ve written to Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper demanding urgent action to ensure the safety of the Global Sumud Flotilla. 52 boats carrying aid and peace activists to Gaza.

The UK must act to assure their safety.

Israel is committing a genocide. All eyes are on this flotilla.

President Herzog must be arrested when he visits the UK next week

@zarahsultana Sorry you’re going through this Zarah, and thank you for your courage and your fierce morality. You are right and more of us know that than are sending you this 💩.

#FreePalestine This is Renad from Gaza. What do you say to an 11-year-old girl who’s starving?

To the girl who once dreamed of becoming a chef, of owning her own restaurant, but now can only dream of finding something to eat?

I’m so sorry that the world has failed the children of Gaza. I am so deeply sorry.
I will do everything I can to help my friend Renad achieve her dream of owning a restaurant one day. I pray for the day when I can walk in as her customer and eat her delicious food. And I pray for the day when this atrocity becomes a memory for her, not her reality.

Stop war crimes against children. The killing of children is against international law and classified as a war crime. @UNICEF @UN #FreePalestine

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

"This silence is not just a diplomatic failure — it’s an utter moral failure."

Green MPs call on the UK Government to publish its response and act in line with international law one year on from the ICJ's advisory opinion on the legal consequences of Israel’s actions.

Please share Leen’s message to the world! Children of Gaza need to be heard! They have a right to healthy food, clean water, education and protection from violence. EVERY CHILD DESERVES A CHILDHOOD #FreePalestine #Gaza

💚 Today we remember the victims of Grenfell Tower fire eight years on and reaffirm our commitment to continue campaigning for safe housing for all.

[Apsana Begum MP @ApsanaBegumMP]

Rima Hassan — a Member of the European Parliament, and crew member on the #Madleen — is now being held in solitary confinement by Israel.

The UK and EU must urgently intervene to ensure that she and all other detained crew members are released immediately.

[Freedom Flotilla Coalition @GazaFFlotilla]

The #Madleen now sails just 165 nautical miles from #Gaza, a vessel of courage navigating hostile waters. As they draw nearer, we carry a revolutionary hope in our hearts that they will reach Gaza, undeterred by threats from the Israeli military to block their passage.

From both a legal and moral standpoint, Israel has no right to intercept this vessel. The people of Gaza, under siege, starving, and facing the threat of annihilation, have the legal right to decide who enters their territories. Each participant aboard 'Madleen' stands not only for themselves, but for millions around the world demanding that a people's humanitarian sea corridor to Gaza be opened.

As they draw closer, we will hear their voices of resistance, solidarity, and unshakable resolve. We are with them, every wave, every mile, every moment, until we reach Gaza and justice breaks through the blockade.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

The Madleen, a UK-flagged aid ship heading to break the illegal siege on Gaza, has been threatened by the Israeli government.

@GretaThunberg, @RimaHas & others are on board.

The UK must act: defend the ship & crew or remain complicit in Israel’s blockade, aggression & genocide.

[Amnesty Ireland @AmnestyIreland]

Israel must lift the blockade and allow safe passage to the#Madleen

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

The Madleen’s Gaza Freedom Flotilla is an important solidarity initiative that will help to keep the spotlight on Israel’s illegal and suffocating blockade of the occupied Gaza Strip amidst its ongoing genocide. The Gaza Freedom Flotilla must be allowed to carry out its peaceful mission safely free from intimidation or attack.

There can be no justification for blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza amidst catastrophic levels of hunger and suffering and one of the worst manmade humanitarian disasters in the world.

Israeli authorities must immediately lift their unlawful blockade on Gaza, allow and resume the unhindered flow of humanitarian assistance and lifesaving supplies, and #StopTheGenocide.

[Monisha Rajesh 🍉 @monisha_rajesh]

Waiting for the hourly news bulletins and 70 different stories about Dr Alaa Al-Najaar’s nine children who were burned to death by Israel.

Never has the hierarchy of death been so stark.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

It is outrageous and morally reprehensible that it took the world nearly 80 days of broadcast starvation and cruelty amidst genocide to exert enough pressure on Israel to even slightly ease its total siege that has blocked the entry of all food, medicine, fuel and other vital goods since 2 March.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

Let this be known by everyone:

When Palestinians in Gaza share the numbers of those Israel murder every day, these are not numbers issued only by Gaza-run ministry of health or whatever you call it.
These numbers are issued by families who lost their loved ones.
Palestinians in Gaza are reporting on their own losses. They don’t need even a ministry or the ICRC or whatever to issue lists of murdered people.
If you go and read Palestinians’ social media posts, you will find a memorial, one that is building up every hour.

Actually, those of us from different cultures have taught the Brits new ways to eat, drink and make music together, to sing and dance and cry together. You know this is true because you live in London but you pretend otherwise and so you feed racism
