This is the shocking story of how the British Department for Education has been captured by Israeli forces.
It's time to ask ourselves, who do our politicians actually work for?

Last week, Qesser Zuhrah gave her first testimony after being released from prison.
On the same day, the former hunger strikers announced they'll be taking legal action over their mistreatment in prison.
Now, she's been rearrested for a social media post.
This is sadistic.
Here is my fundraiser, I plan on using the funds to pay for the High Court appeal against my medical suspension which is estimated to cost £35,000-£50,000.
Thank you all for your support.
We will win ✊🏼❤️

🚨BREAKING -- Declassified attended the Filton 24 press conference today, where five recently released Palestine Action activists revealed shocking details about their experience in prison.
Teuta Hoxha began by explaining that her mind is "not as sharp as it used to be before the hunger strike". She said prison guards issued threats of 14 years in jail for saying "Free Palestine" and claimed the Palestine flag was akin to a neo-Nazi symbol.
She also brandished an evidence bag of photos of children in Gaza, which she said had been confiscated from her while in prison.
Teuta, who went on hunger strike, said the government was "willing to let us die for a ban that was ruled unlawful and to deny bail that was later granted".
Speaking directly to home secretary Shabana Mahmood about the proscription of Palestine Action, she declared: "Enough damage has been done. The appeal must be withdrawn".
Heba Muraisi said she has not heard from her family in Gaza for 27 months as they suffer from a genocidal campaign of extermination at the hands of the Israeli forces.
On being arrested, she recalled how the police used chainsaws to rip through her front door and went on to violate her dignity by exposing her body to the public on the street.
Heba subsequently spent 73 days on hunger strike during which time she was not given electrolytes despite requests.
Maddie Norman said after her arrest, she wasn't given a phone call for 14 days and was therefore unable to tell her mom where she had been taken.
In jail, she was put on an "escape list", meaning she was forced to wear an "escape suit", creating conditions which restricted her ability to access medicine and make phone calls.
Maddie was told by guards that she had been put on the "escape list" because of undefined "intel". The guards subsequently said she’d been put on the list because she had been drawing in her cell and sketching in the yard. One day the guards came and said drawing the prison was "prohibited" and signalled an effort to escape.
Maddie's poster - which said "bombing kids is not self-defence" – was also taken away for "extremism".
She condemned the government's "unprecedented Draconian response" to direct action and said it is designed to scare the public away from expressing solidarity with Palestine.
Qesser Zuhrar opened by saying the prisoners for Palestine "are the collateral damage of Britain's immoral allegiance to the Israeli state".
She recalled how she was assaulted by guards twice in prison - once for requesting help for a suicidal prisoner and a second time for the mere act of crying. "The purpose of oppression is to humiliate - from the occupation of Palestine... to our own imprisonment", she said.
While on hunger strike, Qesser said that she was left to die for 22 hours “on my cell floor - or at least the guards wanted me to believe they would let me die". The guards even left the cell door open, knowing she was unable to move. It was only after public pressure that she was taken to hospital.
Kamran Ahmed explained how, when police raided his house, his disabled mother was told by police officers she had to walk 15 minutes to the nearest take-away restaurant if she wanted to eat, despite being unable to climb stairs.
"I am one of 24 humanitarian activists who were kidnapped by British counter-terror police", he said.
👉REVEALED -- The internal police guidance on chanting ‘death to the IDF’
by @jmcevoy_2 & @amaarchowdhury
Police document says being an IDF soldier is not a protected characteristic, in part because Britons serve for Israel. We’re publishing it here.

@metpoliceuk let me get this straight, you lot are going to investigate me for something I’ve already been investigated for, twice, by two separate forces (you were one of them) which both resulted in no further action?
Did Mark Rowley get a call from some of his friends?
The news wants to focus on a chant to detract from the more important message, so here is the whole speech (minus a few seconds) from Al-Quds day rally.
Where is that in the reporting? Maybe by omitting it they can maintain that all their harassment of us and our families was justified. Bear in mind they never reached out for comment. Had they done so I would’ve highlighted exactly how insignificant of a charge was investigated.
Which by the way carries a level 3 fine, which is £1000 at MAX! The media would have you believe we escaped a charge of some heinous crime. No. The CPS says you can commit a Sec 5 Pub Ord offence by “Causing a disturbance in a residential area or common part of a block of flats”.

What needs highlighting is that we were investigated for a Section 5 Public Order Offence with NO aggravated element. The lowest level of public order offence there is. Not hate speech, not incitement, but the lowest Public order offence you can commit. This seems to be omitted.
