This is Israeli asset Liron Velleman. He got an 8 month suspended sentence for child sex offences committed whilst he was a @UKLabour Cllr in Barnet.

The Filton 4 get long jail terms for trying to prevent the genocide of kids.

From organizing with immigrant communities to advocating for Palestinian freedom, @DarializaforNY has never backed down from a fight for justice.

Now, she's ready to take that fight to Congress and deliver for NY-13.

They want us to believe the terrorists are the ones destroying the weapons rather than using the weapons.

[The Sameer Project @sameerproject]

Today during their distributions in Jabalia, The Sameer Project filmed the transfer of a woman who got injured after a wall fell on her. Half-demolished homes in Gaza are unsafe but unfortunately people don’t have a choice and live in them despite the dangers.

The woman was transferred to Al Shifa Hospital in critical condition, we pray for her recovery. This is one of dozens of cases where people were killed or severely injured from homes collapsing on them. No caravans or rebuilding material is allowed in.

The military occupation is slowly killing Palestinians in Gaza, and the world has turned a blind eye. Cases like this woman are not mentioned anywhere, Palestinian lives are cheap and irrelevant. May God protect our people in Gaza.

[Settlers From Within @SettlersFW]

Israeli journalist Menachem Ben Shahar calls for the removal of all protective measures shielding Israeli military vehicles in the West Bank and advocates an extreme retaliatory policy, saying that whole villages should be bombed for every stone thrown to prevent future attacks.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Mike Rogers is a guy who voted to raise prescription drug prices 60 times. Architected the legislation that kicked off the opioid epidemic. Took a $14 million payout as a pharma lobbyist.

Who better to beat him than a doctor who rebuilt Detroit's health department, put Narcan in 100 different locations, and eliminated $700 million in medical debt?

I was just backing away from the protest and an officer grabbed me, strangled me and punched me in the face — KB518.

I have several witnesses to the assault.

@SolidAirJohn Weirdly I was thinking about this just yesterday, that this Govt pushed the election out as far as they could to give themselves time to ram through as many exploitative, destructive & in some cases downright corrupt pieces of legislation as they could.

[Brian Whitaker @Brian_Whit]

The real question here is why the EU doesn't compare Israel to apartheid South Africa. If that's not EU policy, it ought to be.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Only Labour can be led by a former Human Right's Lawyer, Keir Starmer, and be ok with people not convicted of terrorism offences, being sentenced as though their actions were terrorism-related

Criminal damage and attacking the police are serious wrongs that deserve firm punishment. But deliberately conflating them with terrorism sets a dangerous precedent

When the state blurs the line between thuggish disorder and terrorism, it undermines public trust, invites accusations of two-tier justice, and weakens the very safeguards the former human rights barrister once championed

This is the legacy of Keir Starmer, who leads the party, of Yvette Cooper, whose proscription of a protest group was ruled unlawful by the High Court, and Shabana Mahmood, who continues this divisive narrative

I'm very much aligned to the views expressed by Baron Hain in the House of Lords, rightly calling out criminal behaviour while criticising this conflation. His words are true now, as they were back then. And like him, I too am deeply ashamed,

"Treating young people as terrorists because they feel frustrated about the failure to stop mass killings and bombings of civilians in Gaza"

"I've never supported their activity, but there's a great difference between what they did and terrorism"

"And if you start labelling people willy nilly terrorists right across the board, you're going down a very dangerous route"

"Al Qaeda's attack on New Yorks twin towers killing 2,753 people - real terrorism"

"ISIS - real terrorism"

"This Labour government is treating Palestine Action as equivalent to ISIS or Al Qaeda, which is intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled, and morally wrong"

"Frankly I'm deeply ashamed"

[Maha Hussaini @MahaGaza]

Since I started my work in the field of human rights in 2014, I have submitted my resignation multiple times after each Israeli offensive on Gaza. After having done my duties as a human rights advocate and -before anything else- as a human being, I fell into depression resulting from desperation over international inaction towards war crimes, and for weeks, sometimes even months, I felt we were screaming into the void. I was known for submitting resignations after each attack until it turned into a joke at the organisation and among my colleagues.

As we move to close the physical space of our Euro-Med Monitor (@EuroMedHR) Gaza office, fearing for the safety of our staff following an escalating Israeli campaign in retaliation for our documentation of Israeli abuses, and most recently the release of our report on sexual violence in Israel’s places of detention, I came across this message sent by my manager on the morning of 7 October 2023. Jokingly, he said: “I’m telling you from now, your resignation will be rejected,” and then followed it with another message: “If you stay alive, of course"

I sent him the screenshot this morning, reminding him that I “happened to” stay alive, but that, bizarrely, I haven’t submitted my resignation, not during the genocide, not following the ceasefire agreement, and not even now, as an Israeli incitement campaign is escalating.

While the world was looking away as a genocide was being livestreamed on their screens, I questioned the point of our work countless times. As I quietly recited the Shahada (the statement of faith before death) each time I entered a school to document testimonies, I questioned whether the world actually deserved more evidence to finally acknowledge that the target was everything called Palestinian, not just a certain political or armed group.

I had so many existential questions, but, to my astonishment (and that of my colleagues), not even once did I submit my resignation. With each human rights defender, activist, or journalist targeted, I came to realise more and more that something about them was annoying the perpetrators. And for the first time in my life, I found a purpose in what I want to be; that if I couldn’t stop war criminals, I want to live the rest of my life annoying them.

As we close the door to our beloved Gaza office, we have finally, more than ever, found a purpose in continuing what we do by all means, under all circumstances.
