Deeply shocked by Israel’s deliberate killing of the Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, his colleague Mohammed Qreiqeh and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa. Israel has now killed at least 186 journalists in the war.
30 years ago, over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were murdered in the Srebrenica genocide.
Today, politicians will say "never again". But they are letting it happen, again, in Gaza.
We remember all victims of genocide, and vow to build a world that respects the humanity of all.
Good luck to Zara & Jeremy tonight.
Zara leaving ‘Labour’ is to be welcomed.
But what truly matters now is to see an alliance between all those who oppose inequality, the status quo and genocide.
An alternative society can be won but only through unity of intent.
Jess Phillips, MP for Birmingham Yardley, who used photographs of injured Palestinian children on her campaign literature for last year’s general election, has voted to proscribe Palestine Action (@Pal_action) as a terrorist organisation.
We won’t forget that.
Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party.
Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country.

“I don’t regret speaking out about Palestine.”
Speaking to Middle East Eye, Mark Bonnick, former kit man for Arsenal FC, explains how he was dismissed from the football club for speaking out for Palestine
Previously, when asked whether Israel had the right to cut off food and water to people living in Gaza, Starmer said, "Yes, Israel does have that right".
Any condemnation now is always going to ring hollow.

If governments now dare whisper “sanctions”, it’s because pressure—from people devastated by 20 months of uncensored genocide—works.
But much remains pretense: sanction with one hand, arm & trade with the other.
People must not stop now.
Keep pressing.
Yesterday, the UK, France and Canada apparently woke-up to the idea that Palestinians in Gaza may be victims of a genocide.
But they knew. Israel knew. We all knew. 16 months ago. Because the International Court of Justice told us so:
As @bbcnews won't release our film on the destruction of the Gazan health system we are sharing films from Drs there. This is @rosieplasticsurgeon Dr Victoria Rose describing her day in Nasser Hospital & the terrible plight of a mother & daughters. Our film focuses on Gazan Drs.
Baroness Warsi speaking with authority & principle when it comes to Gaza 🇵🇸:
‘Ban arms sales to 🇮🇱 now’
‘Impose sanctions against 🇮🇱’
‘The Hague for those committing crimes against humanity’
‘Recognise Palestine 🇵🇸 today’
Anything less is to be complicit in genocide.
I note that PM @Keir_Starmer has shared his condolences over Pope Francis’s passing praising him for pursuing a ‘fairer world’. If memory serves… The Pope repeatedly condemned Isreal’s strikes on Gaza as “cruel”. Starmer supported 🇮🇱’s seige tactics & continues to arm it.
