See the difference?

[Mona Fawaz @mona_fawaz]

A quick response to the trolls: We Lebanese and Palestinians are not peace-averse. In fact, we have wanted peace for decades. But peace requires partners who understand themselves as equal and are willing to establish just premises for living together, not an endless subjugation.

[Mona Fawaz @mona_fawaz]

The glee. The shameful glee. Disgusting glee. Anybody, anywhere, who rejoices when they see anyone else's home being destroyed, someone else's life gone- someone you don't even know... has lost the most precious of what makes us human. Tfeh.

#Beirut. The smell of sulfur is still in the air but the drone is gone. Relief is mixed with a heavy weight on everyone’s chest, trying to understand what just happened, think of what is coming, and hurt for #Gaza. We need prospects for just futures, temp ceasefires aren’t enough

People already back to their lands & homes, cleaning rubble, planning repairs &rebuilding; people depleted, grieving, anxious abt a bleak future for their families in a context where decision-making is captured by geopolitical & capitalist interests, oligarchs &sectarian forces.

I look forward to your next statement mr human rights lawyer

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

In court, the government admitted UK-made F-35 parts risk being used in violations of international law & Israel isn’t committed to complying to international law.

Yet the government has continued arms exports, breaching legal obligations & exposing itself to criminal liability.

ICC war criminal and his weapons supplier

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.

The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.

Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

That’s impossible. I was told the history in the Middle East began on Oct 7th 2023.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

"The entire population of North Gaza is at risk of dying."

This is a statement from the United Nation's most senior humanitarian official.

She could not be more explicit.

Her statement is barely covered by the Western media.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

The UK government is not merely complicit in genocide by aiding & abetting; it is an active participant.

It continues to sell arms that sustain Israel’s ongoing slaughter in Gaza & Lebanon, & provides unwavering diplomatic cover to a state committing unspeakable war crimes.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Stop selling arms to Israel then.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Never concede ground to those who sow hatred and fear.

Instead, stand up to racism and inspire hope in a better world. That is how you defeat the far right.

[Mona Fawaz @mona_fawaz]

Do us a favor- do not talk about international human rights law anymore. Spare our children the lies we were fed. I do all I can to raise mine on principles of justice, love and compassion, but I will tell them not to waste their hopes on this farce.

🚨 BREAKING: IMAGE OF PALESTINIAN MOTHER AND CHILD REPLACES PICASSO'S 'MOTHERHOOD'

❌ 16,000 children have been killed. When will @Keir_Starmer stop fuelling Israel's war machine?

🔥 From Nov 11, young people will be disrupting their cities. Join them: https://t.co/rqU3OswTSi

[Kim Ghattas @KimGhattas]

Outrageous and ominous. First, his supposed goal was to push Hezbollah away from border so Israelis could return home. Now goal is for the Lebanese to "free themselves from Hezbollah" or face "abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza.”

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

Everyday I wake up to see how much more of Beirut, one of the world’s greatest cities, has been destroyed by Israel, and everyday I see politicians from my own country justifying and arming that destruction. It really is unbearable.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

So we went from “limited operation” to Israel threatening what they did to Gaza—an ongoing genocide—in Lebanon.
