People need to understand that Israeli officials wearing noose pins & popping champagne to celebrate the systematic extermination of thousands of Palestinians held in Israeli torture camps is functionally no different from nazis gloating about their gas chambers.

Evil incarnate.

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

I’ve had loads of abuse for this, predictably, and plenty of people have accused me of supporting Hezbollah. But no one seems keen to explain why targetting the Lebanese medics who came to help the 3 TV journos was justified.

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Alex Crawford reports on a graveyard of ambulances in S Lebanon 🇱🇧:

‘More than 40 health workers murdered by 🇮🇱 in 2 weeks’
‘Lebanon 🇱🇧 say it’s 🇮🇱 attacking healthcare infrastructure’
‘To force people from S Lebanon 🇱🇧’

Ethnic cleansing
A land grab.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

This is Apartheid.

It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide.

To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.

[Dr Shivam Sharma @DocShivSharma]

Has the government forgotten its job?

It’s meant to provide patients with specialists.

Pulling training posts for doctors is a massive own goal from a government that claims it wants to cut waiting lists.

How do you reduce waiting lists without specialists?

MESSAGE

I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.

Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.

An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.

I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.

DALAI LAMA

“Controversial” ? Seriously?

How about: “immoral”, “unethical”; contrary to all democratic norms”? How about: “in breach of international law”? How about “heinous”, “stomach-turning”, “irredeemably revealing of a sick society in need of help”?

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

I must qualify this statement in the interests of accuracy:
Not even apartheid South Africa codified executions for only one ‘race group’. Israel is now the most racist state the world has known since Nazi Germany.
As the son of a Holocaust survivor who lost dozens of her family, I say this cautiously & with extreme pain.
But it is now fact!

No one who belongs to that land would ever do such a thing. No one native to the region would violate the olives in such a way. These people are foreign colonizers to their core—soulless, cultureless, and morally destitute.

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

Astonishing that Christians who support Israel, especially the evangelicals, are silent about Israel’s attacks on churches and Christians in Palestine

[Jane Mackrell 💙 @mackey198]

Why does @wesstreeting thinks this overnight staffing situation at ICUs in a major hospital is satisfactory? He is needlessly endangering patients lives by his decision to replace qualified drs with inferiorly trained staff who lack the depth of knowledge required for these roles

[Erin @Molly2323232323]

Why is there no money to train, employ & pay doctors?
But there is unlimited money to train, employ & pay NON-DOCTORS to try & replace actual doctors
Non-doctors do not have the knowledge, qualifications, training, or experience to replace doctors
It's unregulated & it's unsafe

[Prof Katherine Sleeman @kesleeman]

This is the crux of it for me. The @RCPhysicians, @rcpsych and @GeriSoc have all said they can’t support this Bill. They have also said it does not adequately protect vulnerable people.

What do these Peers (and the 314 MPs who voted aye) know that these institutions don’t?

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

*HALF of trainee British doctors finishing this summer had no job lined up*

Are the public aware that the government are deliberately funding for direct doctor replacement with PAs, ACPs etc as:

Paediatricians
Anaesthetists
GPs
Gastroenterologists
Oncologists
Radiologists
…

[Peter Oborne @OborneTweets]

It ought to be an international scandal that the United States has sanctioned the UN special rapporteur, stripped her of bank accounts. Same with ICC. In order to defend Israeli atrocities in Gaza the US (aided by Britain) is trashing all legal and moral international norms.

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

Israel bans a high protein peanut butter used to help starving children because it's a "luxury." They ban peanut butter

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Gaza 🇵🇸 is drowning. Disease is spreading

Israel 🇮🇱 is blocking aid and reconstruction

The UK 🇬🇧 is still trading with 🇮🇱; still selling arms to 🇮🇱

Sanctions against 🇮🇱 now
Boycott 🇮🇱 now.

[Tanni Grey-Thompson @Tanni_GT]

Another amendment I’ve tabled is about organ donation. Quite important to know what happens here. And there is at least one example of live donation.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Palestinians routinely tortured to death

"At least 98 Palestinians have died in custody since October 2023, Israeli data shows. Real toll likely substantially higher as hundreds of detainees from Gaza are missing, says NGO Physicians for Human Rights"

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

More than happy to be proved wrong. But as far as I can see there is still not a single British media outlet (@ScotNational aside) reporting the appalling flooding in Gaza.
