@swilkinsonbc The UK could inflict an enormous amount of pressure on Israel but just sit on their hands. The only conclusion you can draw from the UK governments inaction is they're 100% complicit.
Scandalous.
18 months in arbitrary detention. No charge. No evidence. Torture attested by his lawyer, marks visible on his body.
And instead of covering this, @BBC amplifies Israel's unproven claims casting doubt on a hostage doctor.
>BBC's journalism in the time of genocide.
Brits who have served in the IDF and committed war crimes and murdered children go free.
Brits opposing genocide risk 14 years in prison.
Disgraceful Britain.
I see Keir Starmer’s been saying he “restored Britain’s international reputation.”😂
Tell that to the many foreign tourists who couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the police arresting people in Parliament Square for opposing genocide and supporting Palestine Action.
A prominent Gazan doctor detained and tortured by Israel has told his lawyers he believes he is about to be killed.
Dr Hussam Abu Safiya’s lawyer, Nasser Odeh, shared his grim prediction over the weekend following a meeting with him at Nitzan prison.
The paediatrician “was brought to the meeting shackled by his hands and feet and accompanied by masked prison guards," Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) said in a statement based on the lawyer’s affidavit.
"He bore fresh, severe injuries to his head, around his eyes, and on his ears and neck – to the extent that his lawyer initially struggled to recognise him.
"During the visit, Dr Abu Safiya experienced difficulty breathing and speaking continuously.
He appeared extremely weak, struggled to sit upright without falling, and on several occasions seemed on the verge of losing consciousness."
The doctor “expressed grave fear for his life, stating: 'This is the last time you will see me… They brought me here to kill me. I don't see myself surviving. This is the end.'"
PHRI added: "Based on these direct observations, attorney Odeh concluded that Dr Abu Safiya's life is in immediate danger."
In March, two UN experts called for the doctor’s immediate release and said he had been subjected to “severe torture” in Israeli detention.
Abu Safiya was snatched by Israeli forces in late 2024 after a siege at the Kamal Adwan hospital, the facility he was in charge of at the time.
Israel has systematically targeted hospitals and medics as part of its genocide in Gaza.
I saw brutality & atrocities by the apartheid state in the townships & squatter settlements of South Africa, but nothing on the scale & depth of depravity as those committed in Gaza.
All those who perpetrated & enabled this must face justice. And those who stayed silent must face the judgement of history
🚨URGENT RALLY - Solidarity with Dr Husam
⏰7 July, 6PM
📍Downing Street, London
Israel has detained Dr. Abu Safiya without charge for 18 months - he is now in a critical condition. Join our protest to demand our government take immediate action to push for his release, demand the release of all Palestinians imprisoned by Israel and immediate sanctions.
Some of these terrorists are walking the streets of Britain, but the govt refuses to take any action to bring them to justice, even though the UK is a signatory to the Geneva Conventions.
As Starmer's premiership draws to a close, let's appreciate what he & his team have achieved
Taking Labour from a big majority handed to them on a plate, to a nasty, right wing, authoritarian, soulless rump of a party in thrall to corporate lobbyists, almost universally despised
@swilkinsonbc Next time, and to avoid arrest, she should wear a T-shirt saying:
"I support genocide and the rape of babies and children by Israelis soldiers in Gaza "
"I support Keir Starmer, Netanyahu and Ben Gvir, war criminals"
@swilkinsonbc Bravo brave people willing to risk long sentences to highlight that it's ALMOST TOO LATE TO STOP THE DESCENT IN AUTHORITARIANISM in the UK - all done to protect Israel's endless occupation, apartheid and genocide. Shameful
Israeli 🇮🇱 ‘soldiers’ in Qalandiya in the illegally occupied West Bank 🇵🇸
Stop a car carrying Palestinian 🇵🇸 youths
Force closed the door
Throw a hand grenade into the car
And casually walk away
Racism
Fascism
A genocide to steal land
Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN now.
What you’ll be remembered for is being complicit in the genocide against the Palestinian people, and appointing Peter Mandelson to a top job despite knowing he was besties with a nonce.
@ZackPolanski He must be released. Don't let this man die in captivity.
Health workers should be protected in conflict under international law.
