We are not angry enough. Labour MP Peter Kyle had the police arrest his constituent in a dawn raid because…she emailed him about the Gaza genocide.
He tried to put her in prison for exercising her democratic right.
He tried to criminalise the act of speaking up about Gaza.
How will you continue your day after hearing that a father in Gaza, trapped beneath the rubble, begged rescuers not to save him?
Not because he had lost hope in life, but because he could hear his daughters’ final breaths beneath the debris. Their tiny hands were holding his in the darkness, as if pleading with him one last time. He was the father who had always been their safe refuge, yet this time he was powerless to pull them from the dust and shattered concrete.
Only his head was visible above the wreckage. He looked into the eyes of the rescuers, his own eyes exhausted by fear and helplessness, and said:
“Leave me… my daughters are here… I do not want to come out alone.”
What heart can bear such a scene? What language can describe the agony of a father who realizes he is losing his daughters one by one, while still holding their hands until they grow cold, unable to offer rescue or even one final embrace?
How will your day go on after knowing this story? How will you sit at your table in peace, or laugh at something trivial, knowing that somewhere there was a father whose last wish was not to survive alone?
And the question that continues to haunt the human conscience remains:
How much pain must the world witness before it finally hears the cry of a single father there?
It's happening again: the Gazafication of Lebanon.
Civilians are paying the price while the world just watches Israeli aggression unfold with immpunity.
Why is the Labour government still enabling UK military cooperation with Israel?
This is what terrorism now looks like in the UK.
Yesterday, the Court of Appeal accepted the Government's appeal and ruled that the Home Secretary's proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was lawful.
Amnesty International is deeply disappointed by this decision.
Treating direct action as terrorism is a dangerous misuse of counter-terrorism powers and has led to thousands of arrests of entirely peaceful protesters - something that will long be remembered as a deeply shameful chapter in our history.
The fight is far from over. We will continue to challenge the government's efforts to crack down on our right to protest and hold power to account.
@chinnychick Gaviscon works short term,but can I urge you to see a doctor. I had heartburn for years which changed the cells in my oesophagus and became cancerous. Dr can prescribe Omeprazole to reduce acidity and check all ok which is better than having your oesophagus removed as I needed.
Former Home Secretary Yvette Cooper was warned that proscribing Palestine Action could prejudice the trial of 6 activists but went ahead anyway.
Please RT this until Yvette Cooper is charged with Contempt of Court.
Thank you.
REVEALED: Jewish activists @JAZA_UK have shown us material from inside an Israeli property event in London yesterday, which shows that illegal settlements on Palestinian land were on sale in the UK.
Activists gained access to the event, spoke to numerous developers about the properties for sale in Israeli settlements - which are illegal under British and international law - before they were ejected for disrupting the speeches.
The Board of Deputies, which calls itself a representational body for British Jews, claimed that all properties being sold were inside Israel, however these pamphlets clearly show the opposite is true.

There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been destroyed, 100% of the population displaced, and 50% of the deaths children.
Call it what it is: GENOCIDE.
Today's ruling by the Court of Appeal is deeply disappointing.
This case remains about much more than one group.
What’s important for all of us to understand is that proscription is one of the strongest powers the government has.
Treating protest as terrorism leaves the door wide open for governments to suppress other protest movements in the future.
We have long said that the banning of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is a grave misuse of counter-terrorism powers with serious consequences for human rights.
It is a huge overreach to treat direct action protest as terrorism.
Amnesty will continue to defend the freedoms that allow people to speak out and hold the powerful to account.
Today the Court of Appeal upheld the Labour government’s proscription of Palestine Action by saying they aren’t a peaceful civil disobedience group like the suffragettes and that Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, is "a company pursuing a lawful business."
The suffragettes bombed the Chancellor's house, planted a bomb outside the Bank of England, burned down churches and train stations, and smashed up art galleries.
Palestine Action destroyed drones used to kill Palestinians in Gaza because Elbit's “lawful business” is arming a genocide.
The British state is rewriting history and dismantling our legal system to protect Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.
Israel is dropping toxic chemicals on farmland in South Lebanon
We’re talking about catastrophic levels of glyphosate, a chemical linked to cancer
11,000 times above safe levels
This is a deliberate war crime aimed at making life impossible and forcing people out of their land

Fonda: The government and its cronies are routinely violating the First Amendment to silence artists, shuttering institutions like the Kennedy Center, and canceling TV hosts who speak out.
And it’s being allowed by cowardly corporations. I’m not going to name names right now.
