As a feminist, writing about the betrayal of Israeli women by our movement was hard.
Writing about what had happened to Israeli women was even harder.
And the testimony in this piece was some of the most difficult words I’ve ever quoted.

🧵Some thoughts after attending today's 47-minute screening of Hamas's atrocities on Oct 7 at the @UN, following a searing speech from @MosabHasanYOSEF - son of one of the co-founders of Hamas.

In the late 1890s my great grandparents left the Russian empire because of pogroms. What happened yesterday in Makhachkala - a mob storming the airport to hunt for Jews, the mob checking passports as they looked for Israelis - this brought the 1890s into 2023.

[ICRC @ICRC]

We have been in touch with both Hamas & Israeli officials about accessing those deprived of liberty.

We are asking for the release of hostages, unharmed.

For access to those captured.

For opportunities to communicate with their families.

We continue this call to all parties.

Dear friends and former colleagues @BBCNews,
If this doesn’t describe an act of pure terror by terrorists what does? The guidelines that I followed for years are no longer fit for purpose, and sadly have the effect of sanitising

[David Wolfson @DXW_KC]

Letter to @Ofcom from Lord Pannick KC, Lord Grabiner KC, Lord Polak, @jeremybrier and myself.

Terrorism is the right word.

It’s the word @BBCNews uses in other cases.

So why not now?

[The Abraham Initiatives UK @AbrahamfundUK]

Over 200 public officials from Arab society signed a petition calling on Arab citizens to join the protests.

Ads were published last weekend in Haaretz and the Arab press

Please share!

Couldn’t think of a better organisation to donate to at this time.

✅ // It's all happening on the South coast! A group of young families and adults from Bournemouth, Poole and surrounding areas spent the day outside a local supermarket collection items for local food banks. Amazing work! 👏🏼

[Rebecca Singer @RSinger2020]

We are blown away by the generosity of shoppers at Asda St Pauls who helped us fill 16 crates for @BmthFoodbank as part of @MitzvahDay. Huge thanks to the kids, teenagers and adults from Bournemouth, Poole and beyond who all turned out to volunteer today!

[Rebecca Singer @RSinger2020]

@SW_Help Not very helpful but thank you! I travel with you every week and had my train cancelled on Tuesday am because of the cancelled strike. It would have been nice for SWR to acknowledge the difficulty people are experiencing because of industrial action on the tube!

[Rebecca Singer @RSinger2020]

@SW_Help @thetrainline Tube strikes mean I’m going to miss my train from Waterloo - I’m still stuck on a bus in central London! Can I use my Advance Single on the next SWR train to Weymouth?

[Rebecca Singer @RSinger2020]

Loving the new ‘Pause for Thought’ feature on BBC Sounds - here’s a great one from Miriam Lorie this morning. Forget fighting, let’s dance! ⁦@OJBorg⁩ ⁦@TBIMedia⁩ ⁦@BBCRadio2⁩ https://t.co/KS68hHStQQ

@CurrentAcSwitch great service but would be even better if your old bank also had to provide 12 months of statements as part of the switch - once the account is closed you can’t get hold of them very easily!

From 52:13 our Head of Impact and Livelihoods Ekaterina Mitiaev talks to @talkRADIO about our crisis response in Ukraine, key challenges, and how you can help.

The kids have been working hard on an after-school fundraiser to support some of the amazing charities working in Ukraine. Thankfully the weather is perfect! @First_News @WJRelief

@Waterstones why did you leave Poole? The Dolphin Centre needs book shops too!!

[Rebecca Singer @RSinger2020]

Just a few tickets left for our event next Tuesday in London with the fabulous @annesebba and Natalie Livingston - in support of scholarships we provide, with the help of @WJRelief, to Jewish students in Poland and Bosnia, helping them finish University. https://t.co/O438OQT23m

From the Polish Embassy on aid to Ukraine:

We call on everyone wishing to help not to organise further collections of in-kind donations, as this generates disproportionate amounts of additional work and cost, which proves ineffective & counterproductive
