From today, the majority of foreign university students cannot bring family members to the UK.
In 2024, we’re already delivering for the British people.
🇵🇸🇮🇱 "I carried a body with my own hands... and I carried another headless body with my own hands."
No child should experience this.
Israeli terrorism must come to an end.
I am Dr. Rafat al-Araeer, 44 years old.
I'm an academic and lecturer at the Islamic University of Gaza, teaching foreign poetry and English literature.
I've participated in writing novels and books about the challenges of life in Gaza under Israeli blockade. I've been very active in exposing Israeli crimes on social media.
I always used to say: "When we write about martyrs, it must be known that the Israeli occupation killed them. We must not leave the perpetrator unknown."
The last thing I said was: "The situation is very bleak, we don't even have water... I only have my pen, I'll throw it at the occupation soldiers if they invade, even if that's the last thing I do. We have nothing to lose."
My brother was martyred by the Israeli occupation in the 2014 war, and today, I bid you farewell. My family and I are going to paradise next to my brother.
Dr. Rafat was martyred in an assassination carried out by the Israeli occupation. He and his family were martyred today, December 7, 2023.
Israel media did not show the mass murder of Palestinian children and innocent civilians, or the mass destruction of Gaza. But Israeli media has no qualms about showing these savage images of Israeli occupation forces detaining and stripping civilians taken from a UN shelter in Gaza today. This evokes some of humanity’s darkest passages of history. It is well past time that the world speaks as one and demands - and enforces - an immediate and permanent #ceasefire.
Extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Benjamin Zephaniah.
A devoted friend of the marginalised and dispossessed. A beacon of hope. An inspiration.
What a terrible loss to the world — but what a beautiful, powerful and eternal legacy.
86 years after the sirens sounded for the Nazi genocide, the Spanish city of Gernika once again sounds the sirens in response to the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
A must read.
Inside Israel's assassination factory:
“Nothing happens by accident,” said another source. “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed."

7 days.
That’s how long people in Gaza were given to weep for the dead and search for loved ones under the rubble.
Now, they will endure fresh horrors of bombardment, starvation and collective punishment.
We must — and we will — keep demonstrating for a permanent ceasefire.
