My interview in today's Observer explaining why we will never back down.
Direct action against Elbit is about saving lives, and the 4,000 people arrested for holding signs are not just showing their support for Palestine but are also defying the complete erosion of free speech.
Omg, the tanks are firing heavily at us right now and the sound of the gunfire is terrifying Isn't it enough that we are drowning from the rain and dying from the cold!!!
Please pray for us.

For last 24 hours I’ve seen footage of horrific scenes from Gaza, just absolute human misery. Yet..it’s not there on any news outlet’s home pages, not discussed on our witless political shows. We’re just going to ignore it? Is that the plan?
‘To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence…’
#RemembranceDay
I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldn’t hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes.
Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure.
I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold.
We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldn’t find a single dry place to put their children. They couldn’t even give them a few hours of sleep.
I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety.
What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings?
I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.
To whom it may concern: It is with great sadness that I inform you that the first child has died from the extreme cold inside a tent in Gaza. The tent offered no protection against the freezing temperatures, and the lack of heating was enough to end his life.
Elon Musk has blocked your access to me because I am from Gaza, and he does not want me to reveal the suffering we are enduring in Gaza.
Please, if you see me, put anything in the comments
These violent settlers are still besieging this Palestinian family home - *one month* after they first set themselves up outside Yousef Shanaran’s front door… the Israeli army still not forcing them out the area
A new Israeli govt could be formed fairly soon - led by Gadi Eisenkot who has promised to crack down on settler violence (even though he supports settlement expansion - deemed illegal internationally)
For now, high levels of attacks still continuing
This is the worst morning ever. No one in Gaza City slept last night. The rain completely flooded the tents, soaking mattresses and destroying families' belongings. We are underwater.
Thousands of families have been trying for hours to save what little they have left, with nowhere dry to go.
@ThatTimWalker@batty_oldwoman@M_Star_Online there is huge huge open criticism saying keep palantir out the NHS
so for labour to ignore or refuse to discuss in parliament is a disgrace a failure of governance
labour you are in power to govern on our behalf not lord over us
palantir unsafe corrupt
The BBC received more than 700 complaints after it failed to speak to any Palestinians in a debate on whether 'Zionism is racism', it has been revealed
🗣️ 'Laura Kuenssberg asked how the motion lands with Jewish people. The BBC quoted the Board of Deputies and Israel's government. Not one Palestinian was heard. Tell the BBC.'
A tribute from one of Joshua Wong’s closest colleagues and friend @nathanlawkc as he’s sentenced to an extra ten years behind bars for his role in the ‘umbrella democracy movement’ in Hong Kong. ‘…his name has already been written into history as one of the bravest activists to stand up against one of the world's most powerful autocracies’
Rain and thunder have been falling for the past hour. According to the weather forecast, clouds carrying large amounts of rain are heading towards the Gaza Strip, amid warnings of flash floods. May God help the residents of the tents.
Pray for us.
Journalism came under attack during Brand trial and was vindicated by guilty verdict. Defence barrister swore at Sunday Times reporter outside the courtroom. https://t.co/wNVyGA0eIP
💔 The rain flooded our tent, soaking my children’s bedding and clothes. They cry in fear and cold while I struggle to protect them. I beg you, help me provide a safe shelter where my children can sleep dry and warm. Please stand with us. 🙏❤️

What the Telegraph can’t get its German head around is no one in the U.K. ever had any kind of plan to make Brexit work… the U.K. going into the EU had been meticulously planned, and, up until 2016, had been working out very well indeed for us all.
How do you measure pain when you have fled death 16 times? 💔 My daughter Lana speaks for seven children who lost their youth, their home, and their safety. We live trapped inside a fragile nylon tent where daytime heat turns into a suffocating, rat-infested nightmare by night. 🐀🦟
My husband’s shrapnel injuries leave him helpless to fetch water, and my children are covered in a spreading skin rash with zero access to soothing creams or ointments. My infant baby girl knows nothing of this world, completely unaware of the missing asthma medication and basic diapers she desperately needs. 🆘 We lack clean water to drink and basic food to shield their small bodies after a full year in worn-out rags.
Every single day, I fight a silent war to keep my nine-member family alive. Your solidarity is our only lifeline. Please share, quote, or donate—help us survive before it is too late. 🙏🇵🇸
