Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.

Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.

That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.

The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I have seen enough to say it with absolute certainty: the Israeli army is the most depraved army.

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

There is now overwhelming evidence of the use of dogs to rape Palestinian inmates in Israeli prisons - first reported in our Oct 2024 Al Jazeera Investigative Unit film GAZA. /1

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Under international law leaders who have aided and assisted the commission of internationally wrongful acts that amount to international crimes should be investigated and prosecuted.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.

Just pointing out that I broke the story 7 months ago that Mandelson failed vetting from the security services and put it to Downing Street...so the idea that Downing Street only found out on Tuesday is complete nonsense.

We have set sail from Barcelona after letting a storm pass: Gaza, we are coming.

The glittering waters reflect our hopes, whilst our hearts ache with the news of loved ones killed in Lebanon and the expansion of illegal settlements in the West Bank.

We sail for Palestine, we sail for our interconnected struggles and for collective liberation.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Yesterday, the government passed a law effectively banning repeat protests.

The government is fed up with people protesting about genocide. Well, we are disgusted by its complicity in the greatest crime of our time.

The government wants to silence us. It will never succeed.

[The Grayzone @TheGrayzoneNews]

A shockingly corrupted trial that exposes the British state’s weaponization of censorship and secrecy laws has just begun.

The Grayzone's @MaxBlumenthal details how six activists from the direct action protest group Palestine Action face terrorism charges and the possibility of long prison terms – but the jury in the case is forbidden from knowing this.

The UK media is similarly banned from reporting on these facts, while the defendants in the case are blocked by court order from explaining their motives for damaging and occupying Israeli weapons factories on British soil.

Blumenthal explains why Palestine Action is being targeted with such a draconian prosecution: because they are effective.

Having caused the closure of Israeli factories, they have provided activists around the world with a workable model for raising the cost of occupation and genocide.

Now, he argues, the British state is so determined to prevent their acquittal before a potentially sympathetic jury that it rigging the trial and perverting whatever's left of democracy, all to preserve its special relationship with Israel.

Disturbing israeli footage of 60 Palestinians being inhumanly crammed & transported into israeli custody using a waste-disposal rubbish truck

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I appeal to European leaders: it is never too late to do the right thing. Stopping trade with and arms transfers to Israel, in light of the illegal occupation and associated crimes, is your obligation. What else must Israel do for you to suspend this agreement?

23 years ago today in Gaza, British photographer Tom Hurndall was shot in the head by an Israeli sniper while trying to protect Palestinian children.

Humanity will never forget him

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Forza Europeans!
Only 200,000 signatures needed to push EU institutions to suspend the indecent partnership agreement with Apartheid Israel. Bcs it is not OK to make business with a State that commits intl crimes on a daily basis.
Power to the People.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

BREAKING! Amid widespread bombing across Arab regions, Israel approves its largest-ever colonial expansion. Under the "fog of war'', what I warned on 14 Oct 2023 is unfolding: the largest ethnic cleansing/land grab in Palestine, since the Nakba. It’s happening. Under our watch.

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva.

Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable.

Toca hablar claro:

- Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego.

- La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional.

- La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel.

- Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The UK Foreign Secretary says she is “deeply troubled" by Israel's latest massacre in Lebanon.

So “troubled” that the government still supplies Israel with weapons and intelligence.

Israel is committing war crimes in Lebanon - and this government is shamefully complicit.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Israel is committing an absolute massacre in Beirut. Reports of massive bombing and shaking throughout the city.

The IDF itself calls it the "largest coordinated strike across Lebanon' since March 2." Israeli media already has the death toll at 14 but it will climb much higher.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

To ensure the ceasefire is successful we must first ensure that we restrain the Israelis.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

Israel sent spies to bomb Jewish centers in Baghdad in the early 1950s to compel Iraqi Jews to emigrate

Its army bombed the main synagogue in Beirut after it invaded Lebanon in 1982

Now it’s attacking the last major Jewish community in the region outside Zionism’s control
