Shocking . If the worst happens can the jury members take legal action to overturn the sentencing as they were kept in the dark about the consequences of finding 4 defendants guilty of the wildly lesser charge of criminal damage @DefendOurJuries ?

BREAKING

Judge Johnson decides not to recuse himself from the sentencing of the Filton 4.

“Any fair minded observer would not consider a possibility of bias. I therefore refuse to recuse myself…”, he stated.

5,116 people publicly disagreed, signing a letter of complaint.

Sadly , no action is too heinous and cruel for the IOF . How can so many governments ally and be complicit in war crimes , crimes against humanity as unbelievably disgusting as this ?

[Sam Husseini @samhusseini]

I had asked about this horrific crime by Israel — using drones to broadcast recordings of crying children so they could shoot Palestinians who were lured — when I first saw it reported in Gaza in 2024.

The Biden admin spokesperson saw no evil.

The Trump spokesperson hasn’t had a briefing in almost a year.

Now Israel is reportedly doing it in Lebanon. Video by @decensorednews

Glad to hear it @Martin_Abrams
It’s just extraordinary how the previous cabinet , led by Ms Holland were so keen to pander to their very worst instincts and practically bankrupted the council in the process .

[Cllr Martin Abrams @Martin_Abrams]

Just to confirm that as the new Leader of @lambeth_council, neither I nor any member of Lambeth's Cabinet will be jetting out to Cannes for this Corporate housing conference.

Refunds will be sought where possible

Israeli authorities have transferred detained Gaza doctor Hussam Abu Safiya to solitary confinement at Nafha Prison after his legal team challenged the extension of his detention, according to his lawyer.

The lawyer says the June 3 transfer was punitive and has left Abu Safiya without necessary medical treatment.

Healthcare Workers Watch says at least 83 Palestinian healthcare workers are currently being held by Israel, including 75 from Gaza.

[Torla Evans #PalestineWillBeFree @EvansTorla]

@BBC supposed teller of the truth @CliveMyrieBBC telling us how far it goes to bring ‘trusted journalism ‘. Not on Gaza + Israel or on anti-Palestinian racism . Stand up for the terminally brave medics slaughtered + tortured by an evil regime. Dr Hussam Abu Safiya must be saved

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

Remember how everyone rushed to use his photo, of his walking toward an IDF tank to advocate for the lives of his patients? Rushed to plaster it everywhere, rushed to make AI edits, art, whatever. That was in December 2024.

How often is he mentioned today? He is alive, he is being tortured and slowly killed - he, alongside every Palestinian hostage, must be freed.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

“The genocide in Gaza is an unequivocal message sent from the industrialized nations of the north, which spent billions to sustain Israel’s mass slaughter, to a global population that subsists on a few dollars a day:

We don’t care about humanitarian law. We don’t care about human rights. Your lives mean nothing to us. We will use any tool, including genocide, to protect our monopoly on wealth and power.”

Chris Hedges on what’s really at stake in Gaza – humanity’s survival against the billionaires’ insatiable appetite for hoarding wealth.

Indeed . Profit from war should be illegal . Real journalism needs to take place @BBC @ITV @Telegraph @Independent etc etc etc When spokesmen ( + it’s usually men ) are described as independent question that . Look at John Mann’s ‘independence’ on AS ( sorry to digress) .

BREAKING: Activists unveil Marwan Barghouti statue in Parliament Square

Today, activists unveiled a new statue of Marwan Barghouti in Parliament Square, but were then intercepted by police.

Marwan Barghouti has been imprisoned by Israel for 24 years, 1 month and 19 days for crimes he did not commit. He was convicted by a court he did not recognise in a trial widely criticised by legal experts and human rights observers.

A sitting Palestinian parliamentarian at the time of his arrest, he remains, more than two decades later, the most popular choice for Palestinian leadership in opinion polls.

Often called ‘Palestine’s Mandela’, he is a powerful symbol of hope and a long-time advocate for freedom and dignity for the Palestinian people.

Nelson Mandela was once politically isolated and labelled a terror*st before being recognised as a global symbol of freedom and justice. Marwan Barghouti faces a similar fate.

The statue may not stand in Parliament Square yet, but we know this is a just cause. One day, Marwan will take his rightful place alongside other civil rights leaders.

Free Marwan. Free Palestine.

Dr. Ahmad Mosa, a surgeon at Nasser Hospital, was detained February 16, 2024 from Nasser Hospital while performing his medical duties. He remains in custody without charges or trial and has not had legal representation at any of his hearings.

During a conversation with him, Dr. Mosa mentioned that he suffered from broken ribs due to prison guard violence that healed on their own. He mentioned that he still suffers from severe back pain, yet he got used to feeling that pain daily. He also mentioned that he and many others still suffer from scabies.

Dr. Mosa is among dozens of healthcare workers from Gaza who are being unlawfully detained by Israel and subjected to inhumane conditions and ongoing medical neglect.

It is our responsibility to demand their immediate release.

I had 20 patients in my Pediatric War Injuries Clinic today, for follow-up care.

Of the 20 children, Israel had killed one or both parents of 19 of them.

Lucy, the Labour Party just called an entirely unnecessary by-election in Makerfield which could trigger a Mayoral election in Manchester at a cost of up to £5m.

'Thousands of patients and staff have serious concerns about this company's involvement in the NHS.'

Worries grow over the involvement of Palantir in the UK's healthcare system, and Dr Rhiannon Mihranian Osborne is one of the people calling for a cancellation of their contract.

A damning new Westminster report has warned of the 'concerning' reliance the UK Government has on controversial tech firm Palantir

So right @Hamza_a96
In the future all the genocide apologists and deniers will say they were fighting against it . They know how complicit they’ve been in pandering to the Israeli regime . Those responsible for war crimes will be in The Hague .

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

Emily Thornberry has today said the government has let down the Palestinian people, and allowed Israel to act with impunity.

The audacity.

Here she is in October 2023 refusing to condemn Israel cutting off power and supplies to Gaza.

Don’t let these people rewrite history.
