Broadcaster, scientist, and author Adam Rutherford has just sent this letter to senior leaders of Exeter Uni on behalf of its glittering signatories, who include Stephen Fry, Alice Roberts, Rob Macfarlane, Samira Ahmed, Emily Wilson, Marina Warner, Natalie Haynes…

[STEVE MOSS 💙💚 Ⓥ☘️#Ireland. Stop #GazaGenocide @mr_stephen_moss]

Hannah Spencer speaking up for the surgeon Dr Hussam Abu Safiya who has been beaten & tortured in the natorious facility Rakefet.
Hospital workers say he worked 24/7 to save lives.
The Israeli's claim he was a colonel in Hamas but provided no evidence.

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

Andy Burnham says Labour got Gaza wrong. If you're sorry, prove it.

1. Call it a genocide.
2. End the arms sales.
3. Stop sharing military intelligence with Israel.

The people of Gaza can't wait any longer.

[Bob de Oliveira @azulbob]

A lot missing! 🤨

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

🚨BREAKING: With @Imran_HussainMP and 80 other MPs and Lords, I have written to the Foreign Secretary calling for comprehensive sanctions on Israel.

The world’s top court is clear. Israel’s occupation of Palestine is illegal - and Governments must act now to end it!

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Multiple 🇮🇱 airstrikes and murders of Palestinians across Gaza 🇵🇸 yesterday

Including Tala, a 9 yr old girl, murdered

Over 1098 Palestinians murdered in Gaza 🇵🇸 by 🇮🇱 since the ‘ceasefire’

There is no ‘ceasefire’

It’s a racist genocide

Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN
Sanction 🇮🇱
Now.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Burnham talks as if the genocide in Gaza is in the past, but it's happening NOW. Britain is arming Israel NOW.

This UN report is from two weeks ago.

Burnham must commit to fully ending UK complicity NOW.

[Good Law Project @GoodLawProject]

Dr. Ayo Moiett was advocating for a Palestine hunger striker needing emergency medical care. But the police responded by forcefully arresting him. As a Black doctor, Ayo is speaking out on the racist and disproportionate force behind his arrest.

We're helping Ayo to investigate a claim against the police 👇

Many in positions of influence are silent to the Gaza 🇵🇸 genocide

Not Hossam Hassan, Egypt’s 🇪🇬⚽️ coach:

‘No matter your nationality’
‘Thousands of children murdered’
‘Don’t be silent’
‘A shame on all of us’
‘Let Palestinians 🇵🇸 live’

👏

Egypt 🇪🇬 ⚽️ out

They will be missed.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

“They brought me here to kill me. I don't see myself surviving. This is the end.”

These are the words of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the paediatrician who ran Gaza's last children's hospital. He has been held without charge by Israel for over 18 months, alongside at least 13 other Palestinian doctors from Gaza.

His lawyers say he has been held in solitary confinement, beaten, starved, and denied medical care. He is now in life-threatening danger and requires urgent hospitalisation.

Silence is complicity. @YvetteCooperMP must demand his immediate release and urgent medical treatment NOW.

[UCU @ucu]

Exeter University wants to axe over 200 jobs and calls it “financial pressure”.

Reserves up £188m. Six-figure salaries more than doubled.

The money is the there just not for the people who teach.

Academic vandalism at its finest.

Everyone who cares about the future of the humanities and social sciences in Britain should register their fury at the deep damage being done to the University of Exeter by its appalling senior management.

Fascinating book about how the One God of modern Jews & Christians developed in ancient times out of a god originally one of a Pantheon, with wife, physical body and probably cult statues.
Reposted as, astonishingly, Exeter University are considering making its author redundant.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Today, I asked the Foreign Office Minister to take action to halt Israel's illegal settlement expansion.

The best he could come up with was a completely baseless smear. What a total and utter disgrace.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

URGENT! For any country where (from Italy to Thailand or Brazil) possible war criminals go on holiday and R&R. 🇮🇱 soldiers must be investigated, evidence assessed, and responsibility determined through DUE PROCESS.

This is not incitement to commit violence. It is accountability.

[Bob de Oliveira @azulbob]

@ricwe123 @KateD7 Punishment, only if it’s a crime.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

We are not giving up. We are not relenting. We are not retreating.

We must — and we will — expose the full scale of Britain’s complicity in genocide.

[Prof Francesca Stavrakopoulou @ProfFrancesca]

We need the support and vocal objections of all those who value what we do beyond the academy. If you’ve enjoyed reading our books, seeing us on telly, or listening to us on podcasts, please feel free to lodge your objections on social media, tagging #UniExeter

Gary Lineker called for Israel to be banned from International Football.

Do you stand with Gary Lineker?

Like if you do.
