“What Israel is doing is wrong. It is wicked…

Voice your disgust and detestation of the Israeli actions.

Please, you are then doing the right thing and behaving in accordance with Jewish tradition.”

“This is not a normal war. The war in Ukraine has killed 500 kids in two years and the war in Gaza has killed over 10,000 in less than five months. We have seen wars before but this is something that is a dark stain on our shared humanity.” -Dr. Fozia Alvi https://t.co/6kYj7ICWdP

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Over 1 million people in Gaza – half the population – are facing catastrophic hunger and starvation.

To prevent outright famine, @WFP and partners need safe, immediate and full access to the north.

#WorldBookDay

[onjali rauf @OnjaliRauf]

Meanwhile... #WorldBookDay in the refugee camps of #Gaza & the world will be celebrated only thanks to the heroism of those storytellers who have survived.

And managed to keep to keep their books & stories in tact.

God bless every one of them.

Such sad news about Benjamin Zephaniah 😢

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Benjamin Zephaniah is a heartbreaking loss. He was a pioneer, an activist, an innovator, a truth teller, a legend.

I read Money years ago and it sparked something. It’s just as relevant now because it’s an honest assessment of how the world works.

Rest in power, Benjamin

Wise words for a Friday reflection

[Seamus Heaney @HeaneyDaily]

Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for.

We have started to gather at Parliament in our 1000s to demand MPs vote for a #CeasefireNOW 🇵🇸🕊️ For those who choose to be on the wrong side of history, we must never forget or forgive, over 11,000 Palestinians dead, over 1.6 million forcibly displaced

[Aamer Anwar✊🏾🏳️‍🌈#BlackLivesMatter @AamerAnwar]

The march in London against Genocide in Gaza, has only just started, over 300k expected, is the biggest we have ever seen for #Palestine cities all around the world people are marching 🇵🇸💔🙏🤲🕊️#CeasfireNOW

[Nitin Sawhney @thenitinsawhney]

My life has never felt so trivial nor so impotent. We all have a collective responsibility in this world to protect children. If we can’t even protect them from human cruelty in front of our eyes then we need to reevaluate who we are… individually and as a species.

[Palestine Solidarity Campaign @PSCupdates]

Hundreds of thousands on the streets of London 🇵🇸
