Imagine Russian football fans in a foreign city:

- Interrupted a minute’s silence in memory of dead flood victims with chants in support of killing Ukrainian children

- Rampaged through the city

- Ripped down Ukrainian flags

- Chanted “death to Ukrainians”

- Attacked local residents

Imagine then, when local residents attacked them, they were presented as victims of a racist pogrom.

All of you folks who said Israel has a ‘right to defend itself,’ all of you people who said ‘But Hamas!’ in response to anything and everything, all of you who backed this stuff, this is on you, and the blood of these babies is on your hands. History will not forgive or forget.

The moments after an indiscriminate horrific Israeli 🇮🇱 attack on Al-Shati refugee camp, Gaza City 🇵🇸

At least 12 murdered and dozens injured.

Biden 🇺🇸 and Starmer 🇬🇧 are backing a monster on Netanyahu 🇮🇱

Arms embargo today.

The BBC should not leave it to guests to reveal who funds the organisations the other guests work for. This is what its own editorial guidelines say.

Water company propaganda says rivers across the country are healthier. Those who spend time near or in the water simply know its untrue.
The Windrush, a once thriving river, you decide.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.

And they’re right.

“The plight of Palestinian civilians trapped in North #Gaza is unbearable.

In the name of humanity, I reiterate my call for an immediate ceasefire, the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, and accountability for crimes under international law.” - @antonioguterres

[Katey Sexton @KateySexton]

I condemn all violence and will not stand by while Palestinian and Israeli civilians pay the price for political failure. Please sign Oxfam's petition and make your voice heard. https://t.co/z2x1qISsC7

[Dr. Jennifer Cassidy @OxfordDiplomat]

If you watch anything today let it be this. This man is speaking for his people and every single person who is standing in complete solidarity with Palestine. Let his voice be heard around the world. United We Stand 🇵🇸🕊️🇵🇸

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

And yet, astonishingly, you still sell Israel weapons.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Seriously @DavidLammy…

Do tell us

What words would you suggest we use instead?

Unbelievable.

[Philippe Lazzarini @UNLazzarini]

The vote by the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) against @UNRWA this evening is unprecedented and sets a dangerous precedent. It opposes the UN Charter and violates the State of Israel’s obligations under international law. 

This is the latest in the ongoing campaign to discredit UNRWA and delegitimize its role towards providing human-development assistance and services to #Palestine Refugees.

These bills will only deepen the suffering of Palestinians, especially in #Gaza where people have been going through more than a year of sheer hell.

It ⁠will deprive over 650,000 girls & boys there from education, putting at risk an entire generation of children.

These bills increase the suffering of the Palestinians & are nothing less than collective punishment.

Putting an end to UNRWA & its services will not strip the Palestinians from their refugee status. That status is protected by another UN General Assembly resolution until a fair and lasting solution is found to the plight of the Palestinians.

Failing to push back these bills will weaken our common multilateral mechanism established after World War 2.

This should be a concern to all.

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

Anyone else feel this crushing sense of guilt all the time?

Feel guilty for how superficial my life is - buying lamps, tea in a cafe, trips with the kids. Everything.

How do you live your life & pretend everything is normal when you’re witnessing a genocide?!

[Lindsey Hilsum @lindseyhilsum]

Banning UNRWA is not just about allegations of staff members bring connected to Hamas. It’s about the fact that UNRWA legitimises Palestinians’ refugee status and the ‘right to return’ to what is now Israel. There is more to this than meets the eye.

[Joyce Msuya @JoyceMsuya]

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

[Philippe Lazzarini @UNLazzarini]

🆘🆘 from our @UNRWA staff in northern #Gaza.

Nearly three weeks of non-stop bombardments from the Israeli Forces as the death toll increases.

Our staff report they cannot find food, water or medical care.
The smell of death is everywhere as bodies are left lying on the roads or under the rubble. Missions to clear the bodies or provide humanitarian assistance are denied.

In northern Gaza, people are just waiting to die.
They feel deserted, hopeless and alone. They live from one hour to the next, fearing death at every second.

Throughout the war over the past year, some UNRWA staff stayed in the north & did the impossible to provide aid to internally displaced people.
We kept some of our shelters open despite heavy bombardments & attacks on our buildings.

On behalf of our staff in northern Gaza, I am calling for an immediate truce, even if for few hours, to enable safe humanitarian passage for families who wish to leave the area & reach safer places.

This is the bare minimum to save the lives of civilians who have nothing to do with this conflict.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

It is time for Parliament to stand up and take action on the sewage crisis after years of failure under the Conservatives.

Liberal Democrats have today tabled an amendment to Labour’s Water Bill, to outlaw bonuses for Water company bosses. This disgraced industry has shown it is not worthy of any bonuses, while they fail customers and continue to dump sewage in our water ways.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Boris Johnson has crawled out of the woodwork to join Nigel Farage in saying the UK needs a referendum on ECHR membership

If UK media is going to give him a platform to spout this boll**** it’s
up to all of us to call it out. RT this if you agree

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

I see Boris Johnson’s new book is full of self-serving justifications of his behaviour during #Partygate.

Please read this Guardian letter from 2022 - & never forgive, never forget that man’s reprehensible contempt for the people he governed 💔
