Hey @Keir_Starmer, now that you’re unemployed and since you once defended and helped acquit activists damaging a military base using the “preventing war crimes” defence, would you take on my friend’s case? They’re currently in prison without trial over alleged direct action at a military base. My DMs are open.

I recently spoke to Dr Hussam Abu Safiya's son, Elias. He told me Israel tried to target him 3 times & wounded him, they killed his brother Ibrahim, shot his brother Idrees in the heart, wounded his 2 sisters... all to terrorize his father into submission & bury genocide evidence
Azeez Al-Shaair, an NFL star, paid a touching tribute to Wafaa Akila, an 8-year-old girl, and her father, who were martyred in an airstrike targeting their car on her first day of school. He wrote her name on his eye black strips as he met with children and families on the field. Al-Shaair has continuously honoured those suffering in Gaza in similar ways, repeatedly turning his eye black into a form of protest, despite the fines he receives from the NFL.
قدّم عزيز الشاعر، نجم دوري كرة القدم الأمريكية (NFL)، تحية مؤثرة للطفلة وفاء عقيلة البالغة من العمر 8 سنوات ووالدها، اللذين استـ ـشهدا جراء قصف استهدف سيارتهما في أول يوم لها بالمدرسة. فقد كتب اسمها على شرائط العيون السوداء الخاصة به أثناء لقائه بالأطفال والعائلات على أرضية الملعب. ويواصل الشاعر تكريم أولئك الذين يعانون في غزة بطرق مشابهة، محولاً باستمرار شرائط العيون السوداء إلى شكل من أشكال الاحتجاج، على الرغم من الغرامات التي يتلقاها من رابطة الدوري.
Racist attack on the only mosque in Cornwall.
A car deliberately smashed through its gates before two people poured a liquid thought to be oil around the building. Being treated as racially aggravated criminal damage.
We’ve seen a sharp rise in these Islamophobic hate crimes.
Last year I saw a video of a Palestinian father frantically carrying the dismembered remains of his child’s body in a plastic shopping bag, desperately trying to get them to a hospital
For over a year, boxes containing 900 wheelchairs meant for people in Gaza have been sitting in a warehouse because Israel won’t let them in, classifying the wheelchairs as “potential weapons”
🚨 JUST IN: Houston Texans star Azeez Al-Shaair fined earlier this week for wearing Hind Rajab’s name on his eye black, wrote Wafaa Akila’s name on it before the game today.
Wafaa Akila. 8 years old. First day of school. The IDF took her life in a targeted strike in Gaza.
In Ed Sheeran's closing speech after his Philly show, I counted him saying the words "I" or "I'm" a total of 54 times when talking about events this week.
54 times.
Meanwhile, here's a quote from Macklemore:
"This is not about me."
Be like Macklemore
Would like to bring your attention to a very important project to build a water well in a village in North Kordufan, Sudan.
It will provide water for 45 thousand person majority of whom are women and children.
Please open your heart and pockets and help now.
Ed Sheeran has a 5 year old daughter who is turning 6
Hind Rajab never got to see 6 because her family's car was gunned down and then the ambulance coming to rescue her was gunned down. 335 bullets to murder innocent people
It is a genocide and any decent person would see it.
Ed Sheeran addresses the controversy surrounding Macklemore’s removal from his tour and says, “What is happening in Gaza is catastrophic and unjustifiable.”
“Before I play some songs tonight, I hope it’s okay if I say a few words about this last week,” Sheeran said at the top of Saturday’s show. “I’m used to my music being criticized, and I’m always happy to take that because I’m lucky. A lot of you like my stuff, and to be honest, I’m surprised. I’m not surprised that I’ve even done it. You know, it’s normal. But this week, the criticism was about something much more important, and I’ve had to take and make difficult decisions, and I am making mistakes, and I’m so so sorry.”
Sheeran also said he was “appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine,” describing the suffering caused by the war as a “human tragedy,” while explaining that he has generally sought to keep his concerts focused on “unity, joy, escapism, love” rather than his own political views.

🧵This is a thread on UAE’s illicit Arms supply operation to its proxy RSF militia; which is currently committing genocide in Sudan amongst other mass atrocities.
The UAE’s UN representative starts of his speech by gaslighting the chamber claiming what they are delivering is aid to Sudan. We know this to be a lie; the UAE has consistently used promises of Aid to cover up its arms supply operation to the proxy genocidal RSF militia it is sponsoring in Sudan.
The first clear evidence of this emerged when Ugandan customs inspectors found that a plane that was documented as carrying humanitarian aid for Sudanese refugees was in fact carrying weapons. After that incident senior Ugandan officials ordered cargo inspectors not to inspect UAE cargo planes heading to Chad. This report by Africa stream details what happened.

There are children in Gaza who no longer have parents because they were massacred by Israel, with intelligence from spy flights permitted by John Healey as defence minister.
