Whether Netanyahu and his defence minister are ever arrested, put on trial, and jailed, a reminder:

All of you who legitimised one of the great crimes of our age - or stayed silent, when you knew - will receive the damning verdict of history you deserve.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is what genocide looks like.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Not a single person has been put on trial for Grenfell.

But they can lock up non-violent protestors for 21 years, because they are a 'danger'.

Yesterday a 250 pound US made bomb was dropped on a school where kids were playing football, killing dozens.

[Dr. Najat Abdul-Aziz @theafroaussie]

So, Israel has offered to treat the children injured from the strike on the Ukrainian hospital, while they kill a child every 10 minutes in Gaza, where half the population are kids.
Truly dystopian.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

The Israeli military is using British-made weapons in its horrifying assault on Gaza.

Our new government must end this complicity and uphold the rights of the Palestinian people.

That's why next week I will table an amendment to the King's Speech to ban arms sales to Israel.

[Pelham @Resist_05]

🇪🇸 Pedro Sanchez calls out NATO for double standards… “If we are defending International Law in Ukraine, then we must defend International Law in Gaza”…🇵🇸

[Rohan Talbot @rohantalbot]

What's happening in Gaza is being normalised. Media coverage is waning even as Israel escalates its brutality.

We cannot let this happen. It's not normal to bomb kids playing football. It's not normal to starve babies. It's not normal to forcibly evacuate hospitals.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

So a ceasefire where Israel doesn't cease firing?

[Hüseyin Dogru (Back-Up) @redstreamnet]

Good hospital attacks VS Bad hospital attacks? @guardian

i genuinely feel like i’m losing my mind

[Ali A Olomi @aaolomi]

it’s so surreal Ukraine and Gaza are happening at the same time because we get to witness right before our eyes which children’s lives actually matter and which don’t

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Nothing to see here, just Doctors Without Borders saying Israel rejected their aid truck and they haven’t been able to bring medical supplies into Gaza for over two months.

355 bullets.

Only a monster would fire 355 bullets at a car where a 6-year-old little girl is sheltering.

And that monster is called Israel.

Never forget. Never forgive.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Whatever happens on 4 July, I will be there on Saturday demanding an end to arms sales to Israel.

We have a message to any incoming government: we won’t let you abandon the Palestinian people.

We won't let you turn a blind eye to genocide.
