How many more children do the IDF have to kill before the UK government introduces a comprehensive sanctions programme? https://t.co/PEhcbzXH6Z

@BenBrownBBC "The screaming in the recovery room would not stop"

Victoria Rose describes having to amputate children's limbs & not having any anaesthetic to relieve the pain for when the children woke up after the operation.

The two men in the photo were identified as:
1.Haj Nadi Marouf
2.Haj Ali Marouf

Both were arrested by Israel from their home in Beit Lahiya north of Gaza.

After being used as human shields, their relatives found them three days later executed.

Just in case being accused of genocide, its leaders are wanted war criminals by the ICC, isn't enough. And now this!!!

@MartinBuckby I was born in 1946, not that that makes me an ounce wiser. But I can confidently assert that Kier Starmer, in his support for Israel, is a traitor to his party and his country.

[B heard media ❤️ @bheardmedia]

3,000 people including Legal experts have signed a formal complaint to the presiding judge in a Palestine Action case.

It's the first time in British legal history that protestors face sentencing as terrorists, without being convicted of terror offences.

@Jonathan_K_Cook The UK establishment covertly doing what it has always done. Only these days the petty politicians and the petty officials are targeting UN rapporteurs and ICC judges.

Israel dropped a bomb on Mona’s home in Mansouri, South Lebanon, today.

Mona is not a fighter.

She is an environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles.

Because of Israel, Mona is now fighting for her life in a hospital bed.

@AuthorTRobare Nothing worse than living with unsold books. And I speak from the heart as both author and small press publisher.

“Today, the same settler who attacked my home by throwing stones six weeks ago returned and threatened to take over my house. He openly stated that the police had done nothing to hold him accountable and that the government was on his side. When perpetrators act with apparent impunity and victims are left without protection, it creates the perception of state-backed intimidation and terror against Palestinian communities.

There is certainly no such thing as an innocent Israeli minister nor, in the UK, an innocent government minister. All are culpable of assisting war crimes.

[Rome 🏛️ @Rome_Empirex]

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said:

"We will not allow a single gram of aid into the Gaza Strip until its people kneel and beg. Gaza must be leveled to the ground. There is no such thing as innocent people."

[sarah @sahouraxo]

This isn’t Lebanon.

This is Gaza right now.

Israel is dropping bombs on tents packed with families in the middle of the night in Khan Younis.

This is what they call a “ceasefire.”

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel just assassinated Ali in South Lebanon.

Not a fighter. Not armed.

Ali was a nurse.

They hunted him down with a drone, and executed him as he made his way to work at Hiram hospital in Tyre.

Israel isn’t targeting combatants.

It’s targeting the people who save lives.

[Sam Smith @originalplus]

Israel's cruelty knows no bounds.

Nick Maynard: "Let me tell you about Zainab, a 7mth old girl.. we had run out of formula feed.. she died whilst I was there.. 4 days before she died a group of US drs had brought in formula feed.. they had every bottle deliberately removed by the Israeli border guards"

Israel has KILLED a Brigadier General in the Lebanese Army.

The car was targeted and all inside had ZERO CONNECTIONS TO HEZBOLLAH.

The soldiers were Christian, Sunni, AND Shia.

All of Lebanon in one car, all killed by Israel.

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

Andy Burnham says he "can't judge" if the Israeli military's crimes in Gaza are a genocide.

The experts already have.

A UN commission, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and leading rights orgs all agree: it's genocide.

Andy, why won't you call it what it is?

[Sam Smith @originalplus]

'...the complicity letting it happen.'

🚨BREAKING: The father of infant Sam Fahd Abu Heikal cradles and kisses his baby for the last time after Israeli forces killed the infant in Hebron West Bank yesterday.

[Palestine Daily News✌️🇵🇸✌️ @Palestinedaily1]

Meet the Palestinian Muslims whom Israel will execute without trial. Look at them.

Even Nazis didn’t do this to jews.
