What we achieved was so astounding, taking Wes Streeting to 500 votes that the mainstream press wants to completely erase me from the narrative. Shocking.

We will never stop fighting for you and your family, dearest Refaat. We will never forgive the perpetrators of this unimaginable cruelty. Your legacy is now our passion and we will surely bring back love, as you implored us to.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

And now think of the 25,000 tons of explosives (equivalent to two nuclear bombs) used against buildings largely identified as targets by Artificial Intelligence, the unguided munitions (“dumb bombs”) and 2000-pound “bunker buster” bombs launched on densely populated areas and “safe zones”, during the first weeks of the Israeli assault on Gaza:
250 Palestinians were killed every day during this period.

The most useless headline you’ll ever see. No information. No context. No guilty party. No victims. No journalism. Just a series of words.

[Aditya Chakrabortty @chakrabortty]

So far this week, Israel has murdered aid workers distributing food, left Al-Shifa hospital in ruins, and bombed Iran's embassy in Damascus. It has done this despite pleas and demands for explanation from America, Britain etc.
It is a rogue state.

@MSZ_RP To Izrael ostrzelał samochód w którym był Damian Soból i wolontariusze @WCKitchen. Wieźli oni pomoc humanitarną ponieważ Izrael nie tylko zbombardował cala Gazę ale tez głodzi Palestyńczyków i blokuje pomoc humanitarną. Nie jesteście w stanie tego napisać i potępić?!

[Paulina Matysiak 🇵🇱 @PolaMatysiak]

Warto uzupełnić ten wpis @MSZ_RP i podjąć działania @sikorskiradek:

polski wolontariusz zginął podczas izraelskiego ostrzału, bo pomagał głodującym Palestyńczykom.

Izrael utrudnia dotarcie pomocy. Za mur nie docierają leki, woda pitna i żywność. Ostrzeliwani są ludzie stojący w kolejkach po pomoc humanitarną.

W strefie Gazy z głodu umierają codziennie ludzie, także małe dzieci.

[Paweł Preneta @pawelpreneta]

Mocno się ktoś nagimnastykował, by złożyć kondolencje i nie napisać, co się wolontariuszowi stało oraz kto odpowiada za jego śmierć i za te "potępiane" naruszenia prawa międzynarodowego.

[Noura Erakat @4noura]

If a single Jewish-Israeli child were pulled out from beneath a pile of rubble of what used to be her home & obliterated the rest of her family, not a single Western gov’t would not condemn it or try to blame “both sides”. Racism & colonialism explain this. They expect us to die.

[Lisa Tilley @Tilley101]

Do you see the overtime work they do to clean up genocidal crimes? A massacre of the starving becomes a 'die in chaos' mystery.
Only Palestinians are prone to these spontaneous mass deaths 'in chaos' with no named perpetrator or context.
Beyond complicity.

[Lisa Tilley @Tilley101]

Imagine deliberately starving a captive population & then massacring those who try to access aid
Today at least 104 starving Palestinians have been killed & 760+ injured by Israeli forces backed by the US, UK, & other Western powers - absolutely no moral limits to their depravity

[Lowkey @Lowkey0nline]

"a bomb"

[Palestine Solidarity Campaign @PSCupdates]

We will be marching again in London on March 9th, calling for #CeasefireNOW to stop the genocide. Join us. Further details to follow.

[Frankie Boyle Updates @frankieboyle]

In Britain, support for continuing military action by Israel is just 13%, yet the position of both our main political parties is let the bloodshed continue. Our commentator class casts around desperately for ways to change the subject. Our national treasures are silent.

[Lisa Tilley @Tilley101]

A single paragraph as testament to the absolute depths of colonial depravity & inhumanity.

🚨Emergency Protest

RAFAH UNDER ATTACK

STOP THE GENOCIDE

Today - Monday 12 February

5.30pm Opposite Downing St, London

[Lisa Tilley @Tilley101]

Absolutely merciless. And this genocidal horror is multiplied by thousands. 💔

[Abdulla @KarakMufti]

Imagine looking for somebody to do archival research on Gaza for UCL when Israel literally destroyed the Central Archive in Gaza last November without even a syllable of condemnation from UCL or any British university.

This whole thing reeks of complicity in epistemicide.

[Ghassan Hage @anthroprofhage]

I really dislike ethno-nationalist states, and particularly colonially implanted ethno-nationalist states. They are the ones who have a long history of racial hatred, of censoring and burning books, of discriminating and burning stores, and putting peoples in concentration

[Ghassan Hage @anthroprofhage]

I will soon issue my own statement.

I would have lived with the first part re incompatibility. But finishing with ‘there is no place for racism’ implying that i am a racist, I cannot accept.
