The Israeli army attacked a convoy of Red Crescent ambulances.

They handcuffed the paramedics.

They executed them by shooting them in the head and chest.

Then they threw their bodies into a mass grave.

What. Does. It. Take.

BREAKING NEWS | The crescent moon has been sighted in Saudi Arabia.
Therefore, Ramadhān 1446 will begin tonight.

May Allāh ﷻ accept our siyām, qiyām & acts of worship, and may He grant us the ability to utilise the precious moments of this Blessed month to engage in that which pleases Him. Aameen.

Believing in the hereafter is what makes here bearable.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Israel has intentionally blocked aid in Gaza, targeted humanitarian workers & has now banned Gaza’s primary aid lifeline, UNRWA.

Starvation is being used as a weapon of war.

Words aren’t enough. We need sanctions, a full arms embargo & for the Israeli Ambassador to be expelled.

[Lowkey @Lowkey0nline]

Barclay's Bank has totally divested all funds from Israel's largest arms firm, Elbit Systems, following 54 operations against the bank launched by Palestine Action, including 20 in one night.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Stop selling arms to Israel then.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Stop selling arms to Israel then.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Governments, including UK and US, that did not hold Israel to account for its genocidal assault on Gaza are complicit in the horrors now unfolding in Lebanon.

We demand nothing less than a full arms embargo, economic sanctions and ceasing of diplomatic support to Israel.

[Nafisa Bakkar @NafisaBakkar]

Between gaza, Lebanon, Sudan and the horrors of the music industry, the general state of the world, I feel so detached from this world. What do you mean we are just watching genocides unfold. Being muslim is honestly the only thing that helps keep me half sane.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Lebanese people are fearful of texting their loved ones in case their phones explode.

Our government’s cowardly failure to call out this latest war crime is shameful.

There is only one reasonable response: end all arms sales to Israel, now.

Electric atmosphere for @HackneyAbbott at the Southbank Centre last night. Brilliantly interviewed by @afuahirsch discussing an extraordinary political career and the future of the Labour Party. #AWomanLikeMe

[Sahina @Line_Reader]

Last night saw @HackneyAbbott in conversation with @afuahirsch at @southbankcentre for her upcoming memoir, A Woman Like Me.

A packed out 700 seater night filled with the INCREDIBLE wit, charm & strength of the two women on stage.

In the last week Israel:

-blew up a Gaza drinking water reservoir

-debated & defended the rape of Palestinians

-killed the man negotiating a ceasefire with them

-killed the journalist covering the story

Netanyahu does not want peace. #NotAnotherBomb
@JoeBiden @KamalaHarris

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Shame on every journalist in the West who has sat silently by and not said a word as over a hundred of their colleagues in Gaza have been killed by Israel, again and again and again. What happened to ‘journalism is not a crime’? To standing for press freedom? Shame on them.

[Mohammad Alsaafin @malsaafin]

This was Palestine’s first ever flag bearer at the Olympics, Majed Abu Maraheel, in Atlanta ‘96. Abu Maraheel was killed in Gaza last month. Unable to receive adequate care at Gaza’s destroyed hospitals, he died of kidney failure.
These killings don’t figure in the death toll.
