BBC’s Jeremy Bowen: Israelis don’t want us to film outside the window at the devastation in Gaza…communities in the north of Gaza are flat, there’s nothing left…Israel will not allow reporters, like myself, to enter Gaza to report the story and they don’t want us to see it
Extraordinary scenes in the Commons tonight as Tory MP @kitmalthouse correctly accuses UK foreign secretary David Lammy of complicity in Israel’s crimes and warns him that he could end up in The Hague
We broke down the logic of Israel’s policy of starvation, its architecture, and aims, showing how engineered starvation (and its supposed mitigation) is used as a tool to break Palestinian society.
This is significant. The Hague Group is expanding its influence and, thus, curtailing Israel's capacity to commit genocide unchecked by the rest of humanity.
Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party.

Join us. The time is now.

So so disappointing on the Diddy charges. The evidence was there. And that’s why Cassie went civil because why should she have to go through all that for not guilty? Juries need to be taught about domestic and sexual abuse before they can hand out verdicts; I’ve been saying!
Palestine Action. Kneecap. Bob Vylan.
We live in an upside-down world where the immoral army of a terror state committing genocide are the good guys, and those who oppose it are the bad guys.
The BBC wouldn’t show the Kneecap live on TV but a woman called Helen streamed it to thousands of people on TikTok.
“Kneecap is not the story. Genocide is the story. Fuck Keir Starmer.”
Did anyone tell you sir that “ targeted strikes against nuclear facilities” are prohibited under article 56 of the additional protocol to the Geneva Conventions to which Germany is a party, and that the use of force in international relations is generally prohibited in article 2(4) of the @UN Charter with the exception of the right of self defense in the case of armed attack or upon authorization by the Security Council in the case of collective security action.
You might want to familiarize yourself with the basic tenets of international law…

This is a shocking, damning admission.
The UK is arming Israel. It is conducting surveillance flights for Israel. It is training military personnel for Israel.
A full, independent, public inquiry into the UK's complicity in the Gaza genocide cannot come soon enough.
Reporter: How did the Israelis treat you, we saw them giving sandwiches?
@GretaThunberg: They probably have posted lots of PR stunts, they did an illegal act by kidnapping us in international waters but that’s not the real story here. The real story is the genocide in Gaza and systematic starvation
Reporter: Are you worried about the others?
Greta: Yes…I’m calling for everyone who can to mobilize to demand their immediate release and, of course, to demand not only humanitarian aid being let into Gaza but also a ceasefire and most importantly an end to the occupation, an end to the systemic oppression and violence that Palestinians are facing on an everyday basis
DON'T MAKE THE 'ITS OK IN EXTREME CASES' ARGUMENT.
IT'S NOT.
THAT SLIPPERY SLOPE HAS DEMONSTRABLY LED TO SANCTIONS THAT HAVE LED TO DEATHS THAT HAVE LED TO 'PREVENTION OF FUTURE DEATHS' CORONERS REPORTS.
HOLD THE LINE.
Sorry, but I have a 100% blanket refusal to accept any welfare conditionality for disability benefits.
Fraud rate: 0%.
Terrorised claimants.
Hundreds of thousands desperate for non-existent back-to-work support.
Conditionality isn’t needed.
It harms.

Hungary not arresting Netanyahu is “a bad day for international criminal law” says FM Baerbock. Her own government also said it wouldn’t arrest Netanyahu. Absolutely shameless hypocrisy
Last night was hell for all of us in Gaza. They are continuing to exterminate us until the last soul. It has become normal, as if it is necessary to exterminate us to maintain the ecological balance. My mind has collapsed. Is it normal for all of this to happen?
Almost half of Hamburg police have racist tendencies, talking disrespectfully about refugees as well as Sinti & Roma, with a quarter considering themselves (far) right wing, according to a survey
Israel just slaughtered hundreds of Palestinians overnight, many of them children, many of them babies.
Babies wearing rainbow jumpsuits, like this.
But @DPJHodges seems unable to see them as human. These babies are "them". Only babies he sees as "us" count.
