Palestinian and Israeli mothers are working together for peace and a future of freedom and safety for all children.
They are asking all of us to stand with them.

Jason is the youngest Black professor in Cambridge’s history. Rightwing newspapers are trying to smear him with fake accusations of plagiarism. We can't let them. Stand up to their hate and division by adding your name. https://t.co/hQ7IKzxDxp
Our thoughts are with Kirandeep Kaur, a 24 year old Punjabi Sikh woman, who was brutally stabbed to death in her bed, next to her newborn baby & husband. Deepest condolences to her family, who believe this was a racist murder. Daniel Sean James has been charged with murder.
The escalation in hostilities across the Middle East and North Africa region following the US and Israel attacks on Iran, and Iran’s retaliation, is putting civilians at grave risk. @amnesty urges all parties to abide by international humanitarian and human rights law. Civilians must be protected.
We are closely monitoring developments to assess civilian harm and the broader human rights impact.
Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.
Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?
Zack Polanski:
‘Shabana Mahmood is being deeply irresponsible’
‘Conflating, ultimately weaponising an antisemitic attack against those protesting against genocide is wrong’
This man is a leader.
Speaking to truth.
Israeli forces are minutes away from illegally intercepting the Global Sumud Flotilla.
One of the ships - the Ohwayla - sails under a UK flag. Onboard are humanitarians with vital aid, demanding a humanitarian corridor.
The Labour government must act NOW to protect UK citizens.
As the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla - the largest initiative of its kind - is expected to enter a high-risk zone in the Mediterranean where Israeli forces may attempt to intercept it as they did before.
The flotilla, carrying urgently needed food, medicine, and humanitarian supplies, set sail after nearly two years of Israel’s relentless attacks on Gaza and 18 years of an illegal blockade that has left Palestinians in Gaza deliberately starved and deprived of essentials, as part of Israel's ongoing unlawful occupation of the Palestinian territory.
The persistent inaction of states in the face of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip has forced activists from across the world to take peaceful measures to break the siege.
States have a responsibility to guarantee the flotilla’s safe passage. They must step up pressure to protect the flotilla and demand an end of Israel's genocide, and of its unlawful blockade once and for all.
“I felt it was my responsibility to speak out so the people of UK could understand what a fraud this guy is.”
Congressman Jamie Raskin warns the UK to look at what’s happening in the US and to “not go down that road” when it comes to Farage.

Dr. Abu Safiya has been arbitrarily detained for over 6 months by Israeli authorities. He has been subjected to abuse and other ill-treatment. Act now and call for his immediate and unconditional release.
We're outraged and heartbroken by reports that at least 15 Palestinians, including eight children, have been killed in an Israeli strike. They were queuing for nutritional supplements outside of a clinic.
Nowhere is safe in Gaza. Project Hope, an aid group who ran the clinic, say it was "a place of refuge... where people bring their small children, women access pregnancy and postpartum care, people receive treatment for malnutrition".
The UK government must stop being complicit in these horrors by suspending all arms transfers to Israel. They must hold the Government of Israel accountable for the harm children have faced, as is demanded by their obligations under international law.
I've called on the UK Government to step up to its legal and moral obligation to stop ALL arms sales to Israel. This is crucial to help ensure a permanent ceasefire. #StopArmingIsrael https://t.co/7eT8NbYaZ5
After nearly 18 months of war, nearly one million children in Gaza have been repeatedly displaced and deprived of their right to basic services.
The world must not stand by and allow the killing and suffering of children in Gaza to continue.
