Defying those who told him to "stick to football", @GaryLineker chooses to use his platform to speak up against Israel's genocide in Gaza and for the rights of refugees in the UK.
Congratulations to Gary Lineker for winning Best TV Presenter at the National Television Awards.
Life in #Gaza:
🚨Over 700 days of war
🚨Families forcibly displaced
🚨Not enough food, shelter, sanitation
🚨Nowhere is safe
The Israeli Authorities continue to ban UNRWA aid supplies from entering. Political will is needed to end this and lift the siege.

I thank each and every scholar and intellectual who signed this powerful letter.
This helps clear the air around a smearing campaign whose sole aim was TO SILENCE ME.
Earlier today, the Israeli army stormed Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank, dragging away every Palestinian man they could capture. We have said it from day one: Israel’s war is not only the genocide in Gaza, but also the relentless ethnic cleansing of our people in the West Bank. The same machinery of erasure is at work everywhere.
What is happening in Gaza has shaken the conscience of the world.
Man-made famine can never be a weapon of war. This must stop.
EU aid to Gaza far outweighs that of any other partner.
But of course, Europe needs to do more.
Here are measures for a way forward ↓
Today @SenJeffMerkley and I released a report on our recent trip to the Middle East.
Our inescapable conclusion: the Netanyahu government is engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
Tune in as we discuss what we saw and where we go from here: https://t.co/0lojm3LCX3
Please consider donating to the security of our Palestinian family. The settlers are enacting violence against them every day and often times the only thing to keep them safe is the cameras that Comet ME is providing for them. Please be part of bearing witness against the brutality of Israeli settlers.

Children in #Gaza, like all children, have the right to education.
Instead, they are out of school for a third year due to the war.
Let children go back to school.

The Global Sumud Flotilla is a powerful & inspiring act of solidarity with Palestinians who are struggling to survive under Israel’s cruel and unlawful blockade and amidst its ongoing genocide in the occupied Gaza Strip. Israel must allow the flotilla to carry out its peaceful mission safely. Any attempt to block it is an attack on humanitarian principles and international law.
The fact that activists from nearly 50 countries have resorted to launching this mission is an indictment of the international community’s consistent failure to press Israel to end its inhumane blockade as also ordered by the International Court of Justice three times in 2024.
Palestinians in Gaza are being starved and grappling with one of the worst manmade humanitarian disasters in the world. Israel has an obligation to ensure civilians in Gaza have sufficient access to food, medicine and other supplies indispensable to their survival. There can be no justification for obstructing life-saving aid.
At Amnesty, we are calling on Israel to immediately:
📢 Lift its unlawful blockade
⛴️ Allow free flow of humanitarian aid and life-saving supplies
🚫 End its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza
We call also on states take meaningful action to end impunity and uphold international humanitarian law.
"A brave group of Italian football coaches has just called on FIFA to suspend Israel from the World Cup. Let’s join them — before Italy plays Israel on September 8. Sign and share now to spark a movement of resistance unlike anything sport has ever seen!"

Said it before, I'll say it again: Greta Thunberg actually goes out into the world and tries to do something about the things she believes in. Her critics just sit on their middle-aged arses bloviating about her.
Jana, 9, was evacuated from north Gaza last year, with UNICEF’s support.
Now she’s battling severe malnutrition again.
UNICEF’s Tess Ingram speaks with Jana’s mother, Nesma, who already lost a daughter, Jouri, to malnutrition.
These horrors must stop. Jana and all children in Gaza must be prioritized and protected now.
86% of the world’s genocide experts have declared that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
Israel made its genocidal intent clear from day one.
It then committed genocide in full view of the world.
Nobody with power or influence can say they didn’t know at the time.
