A 🧵 to DESTROY the claim that criticism of Israel equates to hatred of Jews as a people or Judaism as a religion - newsflash: It has NOTHING to do with anti-semitism! 🤦🏼♀️
In fact, some of the most passionate support for the Palestinian cause and harshest critique of Israel has come from Jews all around the world, DESPITE facing intimidation and abuse from fanatical Zionists! 👏🏻❤️
If you have any pictures, videos or tweets that speaks the point of this thread then please share them in the comments so I can add them as well! 🙏🏻

WHO: civilians, patients, and health workers in #Gaza spend night in darkness and fear
During a night of intense bombardment and ground incursions in Gaza, with reports of hostilities still continuing, health workers, patients and civilians have been subject to a total communication and electrical blackout.
WHO reiterates its calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, and reminds all parties to the conflict to take all precautions to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. This includes health workers, patients, health facilities and ambulances, and civilians who are sheltering in these facilities. Active measures must be taken to ensure they are not harmed and safe passage provided for the movement of desperately needed medical supplies, fuel, water and food into and across Gaza.
Reports of bombardment near the Indonesia and Al Shifa hospitals are gravely concerning. WHO reiterates that it is impossible to evacuate patients without endangering their lives. Hospitals across Gaza are already operating at maximum capacity due to the injuries sustained in weeks of unrelenting bombardment, and are unable to absorb a dramatic rise in the number of patients, while sheltering thousands of civilians.
Health workers who have stayed by their patients’ sides face dwindling supplies, with no place to put new patients, and no means to alleviate their patients’ pain. There are more wounded every hour. But ambulances cannot reach them in the communications blackout. Morgues are full. More than half of the dead are women and children.
WHO has not been able to communicate with its staff in Gaza, nor have other agencies. Furthermore, WHO is trying to gather information on the overall impact on civilians and health care.
WHO appeals to the humanity in all those who have the power to do so to end the fighting now, in line with the UN resolution adopted yesterday, calling for a humanitarian truce, as well as the immediate and unconditional release of all civilians held captive.
I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the delivery of life-saving supplies at the scale needed.
Everyone must assume their responsibilities.
This is a moment of truth.
History will judge us all.
By far the most powerful Israeli response I have seen.
This 19 year old girl survived the horrific massacre in Kibbutz Be’eri.
This is her message to her fellow Israelis and to the world.
Watch the whole thing.
Privately being told some really sad stories about farmers trying to do more for nature in their Higher Tier CS schemes and being turned down
Can’t emphasise how much this sucks - these are farmers being rejected who want to deliver MORE NATURE
Watching #WildIsles
It’s gorgeous and humbling, and depressing…
It seems to be saying that if only we care we can stop the declines
But is it really about caring?
Or actually finding ways to juggle all the things we need from landscapes
📣 BREAKING: New @UNFCCC report shows that governments' climate plans are still not strong enough to limit warming to 1.5°C.
They're on track to warm our planet by 2.5°C, which would be catastrophic for people and nature. 🚨
#COP27#ClimateCrisis#NDCs
Utterly shameful for Rishi Sunak to remove seat at cabinet table for COP26 President Alok Sharma - just weeks before one of the most important global climate summits in a generation at #COP27 in Egypt. If the new PM cares about climate, he's got a very strange way of showing it
📺 "The signal this gives out to the rest of the world is deeply deeply serious and I would urge Rishi Sunak to think about this again."
@CarolineLucas speaks to BBC News about the Prime Minister's decision not to attend COP27 ⬇️
British farmers don’t need freeing… we need supporting and protecting to deliver a complex mix of productive and ecological outcomes that aren’t reflected in global commodity prices (because other places generally have lower standards)
Anyway… who’s next?

Here's Caroline's amendment.

We hope MPs from across the political spectrum will work together to ensure that this rash and destructive legislation does not proceed.
The new PM should stop the bill now to show he will end the #AttackOnNature. @RishiSunak
In 1915, the term Metroland was devised to describe the catchment area of villages stretching from Neasden into the Chilterns. A semi-rural arcadia was offered to Londoners sick of crowded conditions in the city. #JulianBarnes, in conversation *FREE*👇
