This is genocide. It’s being broadcast to us in our living rooms. We need to hold every political leader responsible for this accountable. We need to hold the entire Israeli occupation accountable.

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

It’s not complicity. We are participants.

The ICC must indict Starmer, Lammy and Healey.

When will this US/Israeli genocide be stopped?

Now, lsrael is killing children in Gaza and Lebanon.

This little Lebanese girl wrote this before US-Israeli bombing killed her: "My wish is to stay safe with my family in this war".

BREAKING:

President of Colombia:

“Palestinians are Semites. Therefore, killing children by dropping bombs on Gaza and failing to oppose it is antisemitic. The most antisemitic act today is to repeat Hitler’s Holocaust upon humanity, especially against the Palestinian people.

Netanyahu and his government, fugitives from international justice, do not represent Semitism; they represent Nazism.”

Video shows German police chasing a 10-year-old boy carrying a Palestinian flag who ran, visibly afraid, when officers approached him during a protest in Berlin, before he was caught and taken into custody.

“I have been vilified in the media, lost my career, and dragged through the court system in what can only be described as a politically motivated show trial.”

Marieha Hussain, a 37-year-old pregnant teacher, has been acquitted by Westminster Magistrates' Court in London. She had faced charges of "a racially aggravated public order offence" for carrying a placard during a pro-Palestine protest, which depicted Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman as coconuts.

Ms. Hussain described the sign as a "light-hearted piece of political banter." In her defence, Rajiv Menon KC argued that the prosecution constituted "a disturbing attack on the right to freedom of expression." He emphasised that Ms. Hussain's protest did not incite violence or public disorder and continued by asserting Hussain's right to satirise our politicians—the right to mock, tease, and make fun of our politicians in a light-hearted way that Marieha Hussain attempted to do with her placard.

Little girl Aseel was wounded by shrapnel from missiles that struck her family's home in the Bureij camp, located in the central Gaza Strip.

🧵Marieha Hussain has been found NOT GUILTY of a racially aggravated public order offence for carrying the sign below implying Sunak & Braverman are *coconuts. IMO there should be a review of the CPS decision to prosecute. Early on, the investigation would have shown the weak 1/

Truly extraordinarily powerful interview of Dominique de Villepin, former Prime Minister of France, on Gaza.

I can't stress enough how rare it is to hear a former French PM speak like this.

He says France "no longer has a voice on the international scene", because (among other things) of its "double-standards" and lack of action with regards to Gaza.

He calls France's internal silencing of what's happening in Gaza a "real scandal in terms of democracy", making France live in "absurdity" and resulting in it "fading away". He says that we (France and the West in general) would have many levers to stop the war - in terms of armament or economic sanctions - "but we refuse to use these levers with arguments which are absolutely unreal culturally or intellectually speaking. Saying 'we need to let Israel fight its war to the end': but what end? What is the end?".

As a consequence he says that France and the West will "foot the bill" for what's happening in terms of loss of credibility and legitimacy.

On Gaza specifically he calls it "undoubtedly the biggest historical scandal since... I don't even dare to find a reference", calling it a war "not like the others since it is civilian populations that die". He also rebukes the journalist for using the usual term "according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health" with regards to the number of death: "There's not only the Ministry of Health from Hamas which says that there are 40,000 dead. And there are probably many more, MANY more! So from this basis let's not give the feeling that it would be a number like that, unreliable. No!"

Probably the most powerful quote of the interview, literally gave me shivers: "In Gaza bodies are torn into pieces, Hearts are in pieces! Souls are in pieces! Heads are in pieces!" ("À Gaza les corps sont en morceaux! Les coeurs sont en morceaux! Les âmes sont en morceaux! Les têtes sont en morceaux!")

He says that ""Israel has no political objective and when you have no political objective the only thing you can do is war... There is a security objective, there is an identity objective, there is a messianic madness and that explains the catastrophe that we're witnessing."

She's saying Palestinians are pre-political/outside of political competence - a classic racist trope used by colonial powers to deprive peoples of colour of self-determination.
Thomas-Greenfield is truly oblivious to the weight of history.

I joined the brilliant team at EI tonight to go through the extensive and multi-faceted British role in the Gaza genocide.

UK ministers should be receiving arrest warrants for participating in this heinous crime against humanity.
