Humaira Garasia, our youngest councillor, is profiled in this week's @hackneygazette . She decided to join Labour having seen positive changes growing up with Hackney's predominantly Labour Council. "I hope I'm able to inspire other people and break barriers." @whomegarasia
“I'm sick and tired of coming back to this chamber asking the same questions, getting the same answers when war crime after war crime is being committed and when a genocide is taking place....”
—British MP Richard Burgon
As @bbcnews won't release our film on the destruction of the Gazan health system we are sharing films from Drs there. This is @rosieplasticsurgeon Dr Victoria Rose describing her day in Nasser Hospital & the terrible plight of a mother & daughters. Our film focuses on Gazan Drs.
Yesterday, Israel allowed only 5 aid trucks to enter Gaza.
5 trucks for over 2m people – more than Northern Ireland’s entire population.
The weaponisation of food is morally reprehensible. We must impose an arms embargo and sanction the Israeli officials that are responsible.
Can't get over the IDF killing 15 paramedics in Rafah, attempting to
bury them and their ambulance, claiming they were "terrorists" and then shooting to kill the rescue team sent in to find their missing friends. Not surprised, just stuck. Can't seem to move on from here.
Aid workers shot dead and dumped in a shallow grave. Hunger used as a weapon of war. Hospitals bombed. And now new plans to seize large areas of Gaza.
Israel is carrying out war crime after war crime.
The Government must impose urgent sanctions to help stop Israel’s war crimes.
The constant dehumanization of Palestinians has very real and deadly consequences. The recent surge in anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and Islamophobic hate crimes in our country is horrifying.
Where is the outrage from my colleagues in this chamber?
Hackney Council is twinned with Haifa in Israel.
This is shameful for a Council that was a leading local voice in the fight against South African apartheid.
The message of the video is clear - NOW is the time to ACT.
Hackney Council break the link with Haifa.
Israel killed this rescuer in Gaza while he tried to save others from the rubble.
"While the woman was being saved, they bombed us, and five children were taken out alive."
Israel dropped 4 bunker buster bombs on civilian apartment buildings full of Lebanese families as they slept in Beirut tonight.
Countless dead and wounded, and bodies are still being retrieved from under the rubble.
They’re committing genocide in Lebanon… Just like Gaza.
