If the UK government wants to defend Israel militarily, put it to a vote in Parliament.

Let the country see which MPs support a genocidal state.

[Helena Horton @horton_official]

Sad to hear Keir Starmer saying immigration is turning the UK into an “island of strangers”. People who have moved here from other countries are my friends and neighbours, not strangers.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Shame on the Western journalists with nothing to say as Israel butchers your colleagues.

Shame on you forever

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The Israeli state just murdered Palestinian journalist @HossamShabat.

One of the finest journalists on earth, his courageous work was instrumental in understanding the depravity of Israel’s genocide.

That’s why Israel killed him.

Never forget Hossam Shabat

this was one of his messages that will haunt me till the day i die

[MOHAMMED𓂆 @Mo7mmd30]

All the journalists in the photo were martyred,
after showing the truth to a blind world.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

The UK welcomes Ukrainians but shuts out Palestinians — even as UK-made weapons fuel their genocide.

Safe routes for some; moral panic and cruelty for others.

There’s a name for that: anti-Palestinian racism.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Why are politicians talking about the destruction of Gaza as if it’s some random disaster?

They know the truth: they spent 15 months rejecting our calls to stop arming Israel.

Gaza must be rebuilt for Palestinians — and those responsible for its demolition must face justice.

Join me in using @PSCupdates online action to demand British politicians condemn Donald Trump's plan to ethnically cleanse over 2 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip! https://t.co/f3dl3682Gq

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

This is why they were killing journalists! They didn't want us to see this!

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Another expert report finds Israel is committing genocide. Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, and Medecins Sans Frontieres are all agreed. But the West yawns as the Gaza genocide is now just another routine news item, buried on the inside pages https://t.co/xTKAfAkHTl

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.

We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.

This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

[Linda Mamoun @mamoun_linda]

No words for how disturbing this is -

One year old girl. One leg. No family.
This is what US tax dollars fund.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

How can anyone celebrate Christmas while the land Christ was born is soaked in blood.

[Abby Martin @AbbyMartin]

Israel turned a metropolis into rubble and world leaders watched them do it without hesitation

[Mimei Thompson @MimeiThompson]

Parliament is about to debate Israel/Palestine. Use @PSCupdates online action to send your MP a message, and demand Britain ends its complicity in genocide! https://t.co/UL85M3qxhA

[Ⓣⓐⓘ Ⓢⓗⓐⓝⓘ @Tai_Shani]

So much pathetic discourse around art having to be political. Wrong question. A: assumes that some things in our lives are uncontaminated by the network of power and politics that govern our lives and B: that artists aren’t citizens that also are part of a social contract???

[Amnesty International USA @amnestyusa]

A new @amnesty report concludes that Israeli authorities are committing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip. By continuing to transfer arms to Israel, the US government is violating its obligation to prevent genocide and risks being complicit.

Arms embargo now! https://t.co/p6gGB9eMTX

[Mimei Thompson @MimeiThompson]

The human rights violations taking place in Gaza are at catastrophic levels. Despite this, the UK still hasn’t suspended all transfers of arms to Israel - there should be no loopholes https://t.co/ipbaMfdajh
