A beautiful entreaty from #Einstein himself on behalf of a refugee (pictured) seeking sanctuary:
"Open all doors..Don't look suspiciously at his passport but at his joyful and pure childlike face".
How far we've diverged from Einstein's wishes in our treatment of refugees today.

🚨BREAKING: The House of Lords has voted to remove clause 9 of the Nationality and Borders Bill, which seeks to create new powers to strip British nationals of their citizenship without even telling them.

This is a huge win. 1/3

"Under this regime, a person accused of speeding would be afforded more rights than someone at risk of being deprived of their British nationality. This once again shows how little regard this government has for the rule of law." Our own @mayafoa 👇🏽

Israel air strikes against besieged 2 mil Palestinians last for 10 minutes & extend from the north to the south of Gaza, including targeting 2 refugee camps & a foam factory. As US blocks 3rd attempt for UNSC ceasefire, Israel intensifies its brutal onslaught. #GazaUnderAttack

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

Israeli officials are committing the crimes of apartheid and persecution.

The world needs to act on behalf of the millions of Palestinians being institutionally discriminated against. https://t.co/b7uzsDfiVD #Courage2FightApartheid
