If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.
But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.
Schabas: "One day Western countries will all recognise what happened in #Gaza as a genocide. It will be like apartheid South Africa, when the West stayed silent for decades, and then suddenly grew conscious when they think it is safe to."

Last night the Jewish holiday of Purim began, where we celebrate and honor the courage it takes to resist state violence and empire. We stand in solidarity with Palestinians who face increased violence on Purim, while already enduring the Israeli government’s genocide and occupation.
As the world wakes up to the harrowing images of children slain by Israeli bombs across the entire Gaza Strip AGAIN, we cannot bear witness to global leaders JUST. DOING. NOTHING. This is an acceleration of the genocide that Israel is committing against the Palestinian people as a whole. We already failed to prevent it and our Governments have an even greater obligation to stop it now.
Jess Philips is a committed and caring minister, and you, sir, are a toxic gonad. The UK is not your plaything, wealth doesn’t exempt you from international law, and owning X doesn’t give you license to poison the discourse of any country whose government you disagree with.
The figures of 45,000 dead Palestinians is over 8 months old, the real figures will be well over 200,000, with over 100,000 being children.
Hamas only has 20,000 members, so let’s call it what it really is… this is a genocide 💔🇵🇸
“I’m not sure how Jonathan sleeps at night watching people burn to death thanks to the military he served, that is now being investigated at the ICJ & the ICC.”
I debated an Israeli colonel/ex-spokesman on @piersmorgan’s show. It got heated.

The horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a completely unrestrained Netanyahu gov, fully armed by the Biden admin while food aid is blocked and patients are bombed in hospitals.
This is a genocide of Palestinians. The US must stop enabling it. Arms embargo now.
No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.
This is not a war. This is a genocide.
Post about Palestine like your life depends on it, because their lives depends on it.
Don't stop talking about Gaza. Push for a permanent ceasefire.
Important and powerful piece about the west’s complicity with atrocities in Gaza and our “moral collapse” in the face of unimaginable horror. “We find ourselves in an unprecedented situation. Never before have so many witnessed an industrial-scale slaughter in real time.” https://t.co/B3v7XGxxyk
For all the innocent children whose lives have been shattered in Gaza, we say with united hearts: NOT IN OUR NAME... All the killing must stop.
At this moment, one out of every two children under six in Gaza is acutely malnourished and at risk of starvation. Join the world in demanding an immediate ceasefire now in Palestine. Our humanity depends on it. 'Another world is possible, and we pledge to make it real.' #CeasefireNow #NOTINOURNAME #FreePalestine #ArtistsForCeasefire
If the @Conservatives don’t remove the whip from Lee Anderson then they are condoning Islamophobia and deserve the contempt and disgust of every decent person in this country
