Peace activist Rachel Corrie, crushed to death in Gaza in 2003 by an Israeli army bulldozer destroying sections of Rafah city, wrote in her diary:
“I just want to write to my mom and tell her that I’m witnessing this chronic, insidious genocide and I’m really scared, and questioning my fundamental belief in the goodness of human nature.”
Rafah, like the rest of Gaza's cities and villages, is now gone – laid waste in that genocide Rachel Corrie saw unfolding 20 years earlier.
"Extraordinary and deeply authoritarian."
Four Palestine Action activists are applying to remove a judge accused of bias from their case.
Mr Justice Jeremy Johnson is expected to sentence the 'Filton 4' as terrorists – despite not being convicted of terror offences. The possible terror sentencing was kept a secret from the jury.

Yet more greenwashing from Ofwat. Welsh Water were caught. thanks to the efforts of the public, illegally dumping sewage into the enforcement, on a mechanised industrial scale.
Where are the investigations into executives, where are the prosecutions?
Nada, nothing, zero, zilch. What a joke.

One for @bbclaurak who asked on air "Why would Israel lie?"
A leak has revealed the IDF actually has a programme to train its people in the “fundamentals of psychological warfare, propaganda, deception, legitimacy and public diplomacy." https://t.co/yW2WeZakYA
DFAT also said they asked about the Australians who were beaten in an Israeli airport while screaming out to consular officials for help, but that Israeli consular officials say they had a screen blocking their view so they didn’t see, & DFAT didn’t ask if they heard anything🤔
I just want to SCREAM & CRY! 🥹
Years of battling mines & fracking and now we have to deal with something even worse for wildlife…
AI DATA CENTRES! 😤
The genocide seems unstoppable,
Necrocapitalism seems invincible- but they are not!
All we need is UNITY. COORDINATION. PERSEVERANCE.
Keep Protesting. Striking. Boycotting. Litigating.
Not just once.
All the times needed till the Apartheid ends and the system which fed it too.
Find time to read this quite astonishingly good piece by
@ArwaM Mahdawi. Brilliant on our government's appalling moral confusion over Gaza
"Why is Hasan Piker ‘not conducive to the public good’? Because on Gaza, we punish the witness, not the crime"

Sara Alasfar: for Palestinians, what academic freedom means is 'will my university be destroyed'? In Palestine at the moment, people are having to burn PhD theses for warmth. This is intimately linked to the suppression of political expression in universities in the West.
The US Secretary of War said he was going to disregard rules of engagement in war saying, "Who cares what other countries think." I asked if the Albanese Government cares.
Turns out they care a lot about AUKUS.
Our article 'Unpacking the crackdown on Palestine solidarity activism in the UK in a post-7 October reality' now out in @thirdworldq
10000 views so far. There is real thirst for understanding tactics of suppression used by Western gvnts. re: Palestine.
