[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

Yeah, your job was not to interview the perpetrator, your job was to find his victims and ask them about what happened so Jonathan can be brought to justice. What is this “I feel bad about my war crimes” discourse ffs

[Harriet Williamson @harriepw]

NEW: The Metropolitan police will not open an investigation into 10 British nationals accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity while fighting with the IDF in Gaza.

[Depressed Oracle Red Bull F1 Fan Account @FlyoutChase]

its actually wild that you can kill close to 200 school girls and still host the World Cup

[Omar D. Foda @EgyptsBeer]

in America you need less evidence to kill thousands of Muslims than to arrest one member of an international sex trafficking ring

🇮🇷🏓 Iran’s 11-year-old table tennis prodigy, Yasin Shaari, has been denied a UK visa and will miss the World Hopes Championship in Sheffield.

Despite earning his spot as Asia’s champion, travel ban puts breaks on his international debut.

Surreal, Labour's leadership repeatedly said the UK is not selling arms to Israel

But Israel's tax authority shows the value of UK arms sales to Israel

Shame on Labour - thank you #C4News for doing what others dont bother to do

The top 10% now hold 67.4% of all the wealth in the US.

The bottom 50% hold 2.5%.

Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives.

He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza.

It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

[Marl Karx @BareLeft]

Behold, the consequences of not prosecuting the likes of Bush and Blair for war crimes. At least Bush has the good grace to keep a low profile, unlike Tony Blair who genuinely has a messiah complex despite leaving nothing but death and destruction in his wake. Evil, evil man.

“When I entered Gaza the Israeli military had a rule: I was only allowed to bring in three kilos of food. As I was weighing out protein bars, trying to get under the limit, I said to my husband: ‘How sinister is this?’ I’m a humanitarian aid worker. Why would there even be a limit on food? I’ve worked in many places with extreme hunger, but what’s so jarring in this context is how cruel it is, how deliberate. I was in Gaza for two months; there’s no way to describe the horror of what’s happening. And I say this as a pediatric ICU doctor who sees children die as part of my work. Among our own staff we have doctors and nurses who are trying to treat patients while hungry, exhausted. They’re living in tents. Some of them have lost fifteen, twenty members of their families. In the hospital there are kids maimed by airstrikes: missing arms, missing legs, third degree burns. Often there’s not enough pain medication. But the children are not screaming about the pain, they’re screaming: ‘I’m hungry! I’m hungry!” I hate to only focus on the kids, because nobody should be starving. But the kids, it just haunts you in a different way. When my two months were finished, I didn’t want to leave. It’s a feeling I haven’t experienced in nearly twenty years of humanitarian assignments. But I felt ashamed. Ashamed to leave my Palestinian colleagues, who were some of the most beautiful and compassionate people that I’ve ever met. I was ashamed as an American, as a human being, that we’ve been unable to stop something that is so clearly a genocide. I remember when our bus pulled out of the buffer zone. Out the window on one side I could see Rafah, which was nothing but rubble. On the other side was lush, green Israel. When we exited the gate, the first thing I saw was a group of Israeli soldiers, sitting at a table, eating lunch. I’ve never felt so nauseous seeing a table full of food.”

Aqsa Durrani is a pediatric doctor and board member of Doctors Without Borders USA, with nearly twenty years of experience in humanitarian projects. During our interview Aqsa repeatedly expressed a desire to center the voices of her Palestinian colleagues. To this end I’ve spent the past week collecting stories from the Palestinian staff of Doctors Without Borders in Gaza. I will be sharing these stories over the next several days. I’m so grateful for the time that these people gave me; they were sleepless, hungry, traumatized, and often working 24-hour shifts. Because of the unreliable internet connection their images are sometimes grainy. Their words, however, will be crystal clear.

[Ryan Rozbiani @RyanRozbiani]

This is NOT NORMAL - Do Not Normalize This!

Humans should not be subjected to this humiliation to get some aid to survive.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

It’s official. I will be introducing a Bill for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza.

The government must decide: will it support this inquiry, or will it block our efforts to establish the truth?
