In loving memory of the children in this video, cold-bloodedly murdered by Israel.

They are among the approximately 22000 children Israel has slaughtered in about two year.

[Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya د.حسام أبو صفية @HussamAbuSafiya]

A year has passed since the detention of my father,
In this white coat, he walked alone amidst death, destruction, and in front of tanks—not because he was fearless, but because his oath and his humanity were greater than any fear. He refused to abandon the children and the wounded at Hospital , and for that, he was detained.
This image is a testament to the courage of the man who was the last line of defense for life, and it is the very same scene that ended with his unjust arrest.
A full year of injustice has passed. Today, we ask for nothing but his freedom. Please share his story to keep his voice alive.

The wife of detained doctor Hossam Abu Safiya sends a plea to the world: 💔
“Save my husband before it is too late. His only ‘crime’ was saving the wounded and tending to the wounds of children.”
🔹 Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, a doctor of humanity, is behind bars for doing his humanitarian duty.
🔹 We demand urgent action to save his life from the risk of slow death inside prison.
🩺 Do not forget the doctor of humanity. Speak about him. Raise his voice everywhere.

Our Collections team have been getting some pipes out for a research visit this week, including this amazing Stafford Ware whimsy pipe. Also called puzzle pipes, they were usually made out of leftover clay and although they could be used for smoking, were primarily decorative.

A Mother with 6 of her children. She holds an ornate fabric in front, symbolising the veil between life & death. She is drawing the fabric over them, like we would draw the curtains over a window at the end of the day, or a stage at the end of a play. A deeply moving memorial ❤️

They won't say who killed him (the Israeli army), or how (while he was trying to collect food aid for his children). Meanwhile, Israel remains a full member of UEFA even as its domestic teams play on illegally occupied land and its military has killed hundreds of footballers.

Carrowkeel in Co Sligo, Ireland, is one of the most extraordinary Neolithic sites I’ve visited. The passage tombs are set in the Bricklieve Mountains (Speckled Mountain) and overlook Lough Arrow. The views, the sky, the purpling heather - magical!

Norwegian 70-year-old Vigdis Bjorvand was imprisoned by Israel for attempting to deliver food, medicine, and toys to innocent people in Gaza. She has now been released.

A true hero in every sense of the word.

Israeli human rights groups, B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights, release reports calling Israel’s war on Gaza a genocide. Warning that Palestinians in the occupied West Bank may face the same fate.
