"Its killing fields. Its carnage. Its genocide in every sense, to push people all the way to the very south of Gaza.. this is the plan from day one. The plan was depopulating Gaza. Its ethnic cleansing.. what is happening is very clear"

@hzomlot on the situation in Rafah

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

The images emerging from Rafah overnight are truly horrifying. Make no mistake, for all their concerned noises now, this has been emboldened by our politicians offering an effective carte blanche to Israel in October. This was always how their military offensive was going to go.

[AJ+ @ajplus]

Israel forced 1.9 million Palestinians into Rafah — the only “safe zone” left in Gaza — then bombed it.

[Karim Wafa-Al Hussaini @DrKarimWafa]

South Africa is what happens when an oppressed people not only managed to liberate themselves but also aim to free other oppressed people. A role model of a country 🇿🇦🤎🇵🇸

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

"Balfour wrote in a 1919 memo to the British cabinet that “in Palestine we do not propose even to go through the form of consulting the wishes of the present inhabitants of the country. . . . Zionism, be it right or wrong, good or bad, is rooted in age-long traditions, in present needs, in future hopes, of far profounder import than the desires and prejudices of the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that ancient land.”

Winston Churchill, in his 1937 testimony to the Peel Commission appointed by London to make recommendations on Palestine, was more emphatic:

I do not admit that the dog in the manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit, for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America, or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to those people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race, or, at any rate, a more worldly-wise race, to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."

@nayantaradutta @definingdesi @fwiopps @sajahq @SAAGanthology @SthAsianWriters I'd love to be a part of this - is there still space?

[Sisters Uncut @SistersUncut]

Tonight we attempted to have a peaceful vigil to mourn Sarah Everard and protest all forms of gendered violence. The police were violent towards us and prevented us from mourning.

So tomorrow, we will gather at New Scotland Yard, 4pm. Join us.
