A little impromptu interview by my friends who came to a #writingworkshop of mine last Spring!
I’m running another with @PalArtCol this Sat 29th Oct 2022, at @RichMixLondon from 2pm, can get tickets here: https://t.co/u0JSXQIuag
Art has power, so does solidarity. An evening of comedy, music, poetry & film, raising crucial funds to support the Palestine solidarity movement against increasing repression.
Every ticket for Solidarity Forever supports the ELSC Legal Fund.

🚨 I spoke to kids from a primary school where 25% of them are homeless, I wanted you to hear directly from them.
Education is the biggest opportunity for children from disadvantaged backgrounds to break free from poverty.
The housing crisis and inaction from Government is denying more than 164,000 kids of this, and new data proves exactly that.
Please share 🙏🏽
Thousands of Palestinian families are displaced across Jenin, Tulkarem, Qalqilya & Tubas. (This is the entire north of the West Bank)
Jenin refugee camp is near destroyed while Tulkarem refugee camp has been emptied and residential homes are turned into military bases by the Israeli army.
A partial siege is also put on Tulkarem city and the district of Jenin.
People have no where to go, it’s winter, and Israel is only escalating to takeover other areas of the West Bank.
The focus is depopulation of refugee camps in what people describe as an attempt to erase refugeehood and the right of return.
Several airstrikes are being hit across different towns while new Israeli military vehicles & quadcopters are being deployed in addition to drones, Apache helicopters, D-9 & D-10 bulldozers & armored personnel carriers.
Watch | An Israeli settler blocks the path of a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance carrying patients as it heads to the hospital in occupied Jerusalem.
With a ceasefire in Gaza, Israel is rapidly stepping up violence in the occupied West Bank.
In Jenin alone, Israel’s raids have destroyed over 100 homes and buildings and forcibly displaced over 15,000 Palestinians since January 21.

Arab Twitter is crying in joy for prisoners released after decades in the worst torture facilities in modern history, while Anglo American leftists are calling everyone US backed regime change terrorists. The difference in priorities is staggering
Like many Syrians who have spent their lives fighting for a better future, I still can’t believe Syria is finally free of Assad. No longer will our country’s name be tied to that criminal. It was a long, arduous struggle, but Assad is down—and, hopefully, justice will follow soon
No genocide has been so confessed to as it actually happened.
No genocide has been so evidenced by both victims and perpetrators as it actually happened.
This devastating report underlines why every facilitator, every cheerleader, of Israel's genocide must be held to account.
