This is a war on civilians.
On doctors trying to save lives.
On aid workers trying to feed Palestinians.
On teachers trying to put a smile on the faces of children.
This is a war on humanity — and our government should never be forgiven for its contemptible complicity.
These were children outside Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, in November.
They asked the world to save them from extermination.
This morning the hospital stands destroyed.
Where are the children?
Why can’t the world stand up to this destruction & devastation
The UK government knows it is complicit in the slaughter of innocent Palestinians.
That is why it refuses to publish legal advice. That is why it evades our questions in Parliament. And that is why it maligns our mass movement for peace.
End arms sales to Israel, now.
We will be holing a non - uniform day tomorrow raising funds towards our 'humanitarian aid in Gaza' campaign and students are asked to donate £1 if they wish to participate. We look forward to our last day of term before the holidays and supporting those in need.
Up to 20k British IOF soldiers are set to return to our shores. These people have been involved in the worst crime humanity has to offer and we are just going to accept them back into our society. Both Rishi and Kier are okay with this… are you?
Due to the incredible demand, we're thrilled to announce that we've made even more spots available!
Please spread the word to anyone you think would benefit from this event!

As an Israeli in this dark disgusting inhuman time, there are many things I see and hear and can tell you about and are worthy of research and serious consideration, but there is one part of it that is so uncanny, so disheartening, so extraordinary, that I can hardly describe it, and you won't get it. Because it's so hard to believe, or conceptualize.
I'm referring to the total and complete lack of public debate in Israel about any of this. Try to get this to your head: for Israelis, the genocide is not happening. The war is not real. Even the low-intensity conflict with Hizbullah up north is not real. How can I explain something that doesn't exist? But it doesn't. Can you believe it?
No one argues about any of this, and no one weighs the pros and cons of any single part of it. It is not talked about.
Israel has captives in Gaza, but no one knows why, or as part of what. It is not talked about. It is forbidden to talk about this, or about starvation, of the scale of death and destruction in Gaza.
Moreover: it is forbidden to talk about Palestinians in general, so they are never mentioned, and haven't been mentioned in 20 years at least in Israeli media. So if you try to talk to Israelis about Palestinians, they will not know what you're referring to. They will think you only say it because you hate them.
Could you believe it, that the most crucial element of a society's situation can be disappeared from its conversation, its consciousness and its politics.
But for Israelis, Palestine and Palestinians don't exist, I'm telling you. If they ever do exist, it is in the moment before being shot to death by a soldier or police officer - and then they die, and vanish once more.
There is no genocide, no Gaza, no Palestine, no occupation, no starvation, no dead children, no pregnant women in unimaginable distress. None of it exists. It is all, 100% of it, ancient antisemitism's new clothes.
You cannot truly comprehend it. It is too much to believe, I know it. I live it and can't believe it. But it's true. Israel's management of consciousness has become so expert, its propaganda skills, so profound and total, internalized so fully, that Israelis have no idea - no idea at all - where, when, and how they exist. Absolutely zero idea.
And it is this component of Israel that will stay with me, and I will marvel at, and continue to always think about, and grapple with. This is the truly incredible part of it. If you told me this, or if I read it in a book, I would not believe the extent to which thought control is possible. But now I do.

Fasting during my Ramadan solidarity mission, out of respect for the beliefs of the Muslim people I’m visiting, my heart is broken knowing that so many Palestinians in Gaza will not be able to have a proper Iftar.
Jamila al-Hissi, a Palestinian woman who managed to leave al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza told Al Jazeera that women at the hospital have been subjected to rape, torture, and execution by Israeli forces.
