Gary Lineker, "What's going on there (Gaza), the mass murder of thousands of children is something we should have an opinion on"
Amol Rajan, "The BBC needs to be impartial about it"
Gary Linekar, "Why? It needs to be factual"
Amol Rajan, "It needs to be impartial about conflict doesn't it?"
Gary Linekar, "It wasn't impartial about Ukraine and Russia"
Amol Rajan, "The Israeli position is that what's happening in Gaza is a response to the slaughter and capture of innocent Israelis on October 7th"
Gary Linekar, "Which was truly awful"
Amol Rajan, "The context needs to be there"
Gary Linekar, "That's not the full context, it started way before October 7th, doesn't it"
Gary Lineker: “I know where I stand —against the mass murder of thousands of children (in Gaza)…”
When told the BBC must be impartial, he points out that it wasn’t on Ukraine.
When told it all started on Oct 7, he rightly corrects it: “It started way before Oct 7…”
Since the Gaza ceasefire was announced, Israeli bombardment has killed at least 71 Palestinians and injured over 200.
The ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu are still active — if he sets foot in the UK, the government must enforce them.
War crimes cannot go unpunished.
This statement drips with racism.
There's no evidence this man believes Palestinians are humans of equal worth.
He clearly believes a Palestinian life has much less worth than an Israeli life.
That British weapons helped annihilate Gaza will be addressed instead by the courts.
What about the Palestinian hostages??
Nobody talks about the thousands and thousands of Palestinian hostages taken by the Israeli occupation!!
We are human beings, just like you.
Thank you to @SkyYaldaHakim for giving me the opportunity to speak about this genocide.
This ceasefire gives us a small bit of hope.
But we have lost, and continue to lose so many people until ceasefire is implemented. Please, do not stop speaking about Gaza and Palestine!
The unspeakable horrors unleashed by Israel on Gaza will haunt me until my dying days. There are images I’ve seen that will never leave me. Their cruelty can never be understated I am a completely changed person witnessing Israel’s devastation of Gaza.
A ceasefire gives the surviving Palestinians of Gaza a chance to live.
Here’s what must remain forever buried in the apocalyptic rubble of Gaza.
The reputations of the Democratic leadership. They’re left naked, exposed, as the willing architects of genocide.
The Gaza ceasefire deal is a huge relief, but only the start and fragile. And it could have happened 460 days ago, before Israel's genocidal war razed Gaza, claimed so many Palestinian lives and left so many maimed, grieving and traumatised
My heart fills with joy thinking of the people of Gaza right now. It’s filled with sadness at the cruelty they’ve endured. And a burning ember of hatred for the entity that caused it. No one will forgive it. Millions worldwide are committed to the dismantling of this monstrosity.
After 15 months of genocide in Gaza, a ceasefire has been declared — but the US, UK & others must be held accountable for arming these atrocities.
We’ll keep speaking out until the siege lifts, aid flows, schools & hospitals are rebuilt, the Occupation ends & Palestine is free.
A ceasefire is the beginning of the end of settler colonialism. Its brutality & failure are now evident for all to see. Netanyahu has lost & we have resisted. The Palestinian tragedy does not end when the bombs stop; it ends when we are free. Gaza is our teacher. Free Palestine.
Our people deserve rest. Let them count their dead and rebuild their lives.
But they must not be abandoned. See the ceasefire through, and work until we cease apartheid and occupation too.
Praying for scenes of joy in Gaza, and for the endurance of those scenes beyond.
