The UN inquiry’s findings that genocide is being carried out by Israeli authorities and security forces in Gaza - as well as crimes against humanity and war crimes - and additionally war crimes in the occupied West Bank - is due to what the inquiry found was the deliberate targeting of children - and it is horrifying reading. The details of the targeting are chilling. Children. Killed. Wounded. Tortured. Starved. Raped. On a mass scale
One of the killings involved a ten day old baby being shot by an Israeli sniper in broad daylight whilst the baby was being breastfed : an independent UN Commission says Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank
@AndyBurnhamGM Keir has rightly received anger and disbelief over his support for the slaughter by Israel during its genocide of Palestine, don’t make that mistake Andy, humanity matters.
An old clip has resurfaced showing Andy Burnham saying Israel would be his first overseas visit if elected UK PM. The Makerfield MP is under scrutiny amid expectations he could challenge for Labour leadership.
Here’s what he has said about Israel-Palestine.
A 36-year-old man has been arrested after a series of violent attacks across Edinburgh, appearing to target Muslims, which left five people injured.

@AndyBurnhamGM Andy, don’t make the mistake of hiding from realty regarding Israel. Yes powerful pressure will be placed but the ordinary person of this great country does not agree with the slaughter of children. Clear, precise, views, calling out genocide will build unity
@kajakallas sorry, but genocide should never go unpunished and should never be forgotten. Israel has committed war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and without doubt one of the worse genocide by a so called democratic state. The world will not forget
The National Security (State Threats) Bill is an alarming expansion of state power, and an escalation of the government's chilling assault on the right to protest.
The UK Government must take urgent action to protect Palestinian children:
🔴 Suspend all arms transfers to Israel, including parts for F-35 fighter jets
🔴Ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank
🔴 Suspend the UK-Israel Trade and Partnership Agreement
🔴 Hold all perpetrators accountable for violations of international law

Referring an event that enables war crimes and crimes against humanity to the Advertising Standards Agency is a ridiculous gimmick by the UK that fails to understand the devastation Israeli settlements cause for Palestinians.
The sentencing of the Filton 4 as terrorists is a national disgrace and a profound threat to the civil liberties of all of us.
My latest for Double Down Newswatch.

Jeremy Corbyn has hit out at UK Government inaction after it was confirmed that illegal Israeli settlements were advertised at a London property show https://t.co/8z9K8iC8k3
It is beyond disgraceful that the 'Great Israeli Real Estate' event was allowed to go ahead.
Once again, the government has exposed its flagrant contempt for international law as well as its shameful complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation.

There is now clear evidence that the Great Israeli Real Estate event had unlawful activity at it.
I've written to the Mayor of London to ask what he intends to do about it.
This needs to be escalated immediately.
"criminality will not be tolerated" say @metpoliceuk.
Unless you're selling homes in illegal settlements in Palestine. That's fine. We'll arrest anyone that isn't happy about it for you.
