🚨Grind today‼️

We’re sad to report that another #grindadráp has taken place in Hvannasund in the #FaroeIslands today.

Early reports suggest an estimated 7 pilot whales have been slaughtered in this disgusting🩸blood sport masquerading as tradition.

Whilst we slept in comfort last night, Israeli forces targeted displaced Palestinians in the courtyard of Al Aqsa Hospital. Many of them burned to death.

When will Labour and the West stand up to Israel and stop supplying arms? If this is not enough, when will be?

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Labour took £4 million from Quadrature Capital, which profits from F-35 jets bombing people in Gaza & Lebanon.

Meanwhile, the government refuses to end all arms sales to Israel, including F-35 parts, making it complicit in genocide.

Labour must return this blood-stained money.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This Sky News coverage of Israel / Palestine isn't even subtle in its racism.

There's no pretence here that Palestinian life has anything like the worth of Israeli life.

Not even the tiniest fraction.

We can't stop being shocked by this: it helps normalise an outrage.

[Kat Abughazaleh @KatAbughazaleh]

does anyone else feel ashamed knowing that as children are being burned alive in their hospital beds, you are safe and comfortable in your home and then feel ashamed of being ashamed because it's the lightest possible burden we could have at this moment is this even coherent

[Mohammad @MargBarAmerica]

he was studying software engineering from a tent, still living for the next day. it would be a disservice to their life to only remember them engulfed in flames. learn their names and stories.

[Animal Aid @AnimalAid]

Dogs have been left struggling to survive next to rotting dead bodies of their friends, left with untreated wounds, emaciated and abandoned. Because this industry only values greyhounds on how much money they can make, thousands of dogs are discarded.

#BanGreyhoundRacing.

[e. n. @elinachos]

he was applying for scholarships abroad. he had dreams and hopes that this genocide erased in an instant.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a completely unrestrained Netanyahu gov, fully armed by the Biden admin while food aid is blocked and patients are bombed in hospitals.

This is a genocide of Palestinians. The US must stop enabling it. Arms embargo now.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Stop selling arms to Israel then.
