Israel is invading Syria.

While committing genocide in Gaza, settler terror in the West Bank & bombing raids on Lebanon, Israeli tanks roll into Damascus.

This is a system of oppression that knows no borders — yet the UK government parrots lines about “Israeli self-defence”.

Another night of horror in the #Gaza Strip.

A strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an @UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat.

That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today.

One year after the start of the war in #Gaza, violence persists and the humanitarian crisis continues.

Gaza remains sealed off, leaving no safe areas for civilians.

@UN is fully committed to staying and delivering aid to the people of Gaza.

#CeasefireNow

The U.S. has approved at least $17.9 billion in security assistance for Israeli military operations in Gaza and elsewhere since October 7, 2023 – substantially more than in any other year since the U.S. began granting military aid to Israel in 1959. https://t.co/92XL9eBpOL

The blocking of anyone referring to ‘genocide’ is almost universal in the mainstream British media. As a genocide scholar, I’ve been interviewed/quoted about Gaza by media from all over the world, including the US, but never by any major British outlet.

“The super-rich do not spend their money on MPs out of generosity and out of the goodness of their hearts. They want something in return. This wealth is used to buy influence in this House; to get this place to serve their interests and not the interests of our constituents.”

[safia aidid @safiyaaaay]

thinking about Judith Butler on grievability. Palestinians cannot be mourned in death because they have never counted as lives to begin with. We know this, we see it elsewhere too, but sometimes the hierarchy of human life is so clear it takes your breath away.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Yesterday it was confirmed an Israeli F-35 fighter jet – made in part in Britain – was instrumental in a recent attack on a "safe zone" in Gaza, killing 90 people.

Hours later the UK government refused to suspend licences pertaining to F-35s.

ALL arms sales to Israel must end.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Western media marks an appalling threshold of Israel killing 40,000 Palestinians in Gaza without mentioning *Israel*

Thousands more are still missing or under rubble making the actual death toll much higher. This is how you whitewash genocide.

[Professor Andrea Rigon @rigonandre]

@AnacludiaRossb1 @UNHABITAT congratulations! the institution is very good hands. look forward to collaborating in future

#Gaza
Heavy shooting from the Israeli Forces at a UN convoy heading to Gaza city.
While there are no casualties, our teams had to duck and take cover.

This took place yesterday. The teams were traveling in clearly marked UN armoured cars & wearing UN vests.

One vehicle received at least five bullets while waiting just ahead of the Israeli Forces’ checkpoint south of Wadi Gaza.
The car was severely damaged, it left the convoy. The teams re-assembled & finally reached Gaza City.

Like all other similar UN movements, this movement was coordinated and approved by the Israeli Authorities.

Humanitarian aid workers are #NOTaTarget

Those responsible must be held accountable.

The judge who sentenced the JSO activists was previously "very lenient" towards an on-duty police officer who had sex with a drunk woman he'd offered a ride home.

The judge said the officer had acted in a "moment of madness", and he avoided jail time.

🚨BREAKING: A new Oxfam report reveals how Israel's systematic weaponizing of water against Palestinians in #Gaza, has reduced the amount of water available in Gaza by 94% to 4.74 litres a day per person.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

The sentences handed to the five @JustStop_Oil campaigners are utterly disproportionate. Four and five years in prison for peaceful protest? This is what you might expect in Russia or Egypt, not in a supposed democracy. https://t.co/jE3YUrd9EY

Israeli “evacuation orders” continue to be instruments of terror & displacement. Palestinians in Gaza’s old city & at Ahli hospital were ordered to evacuate west, only to be attacked there & receive another evacuation order under 24hr later, to a ‘safe area’ that doesn’t exist.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures.
