This is your legacy on the occupied Palestinian territory, Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. History will remember your complicity.

Despite a partial arms suspension in 2024, Keir Starmer's government has continued to enable Israel's atrocities against Palestinians, their families and children through the supply of F-35 fighter jet parts.

Nothing can change the horrors Palestinians have faced. But the next Prime Minister has an opportunity to put an end to the UK Government's role as an ally to atrocities.

The UK Government must:
🔴 Suspend all arms sales to Israel
🔴 Suspend the UK-Israel trade and partnership agreement
🔴 Ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements

To the next Prime Minister: what will your plaque say?

Thank you for your help and support!

A displaced child from northern Gaza, in tears, carries his younger sister while walking south under dire humanitarian conditions caused by Israel's offensive on the enclave

[‏Martyrs of Gaza @GazaMartyrs]

I will never forget Anas when he cried bitterly in front of the camera, and people around him shouted, “Keep going, keep going, you are our voice.”

Today, we have lost our voice.

All of Gaza is crying for your martyrdom today.

We will never forget you Anas.

*Sigh*
As Edward Said said decades ago Palestinians don’t have permission to narrate their own destruction. It can only be told by someone with supposed “authority” and through a Western gaze. Now dead Palestinians clamoring “yes it’s genocide” 20 months ago weren’t “huge” enough

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

A truly chilling story. Guardian reporting that the Israeli Defence minister has asked IDF to draw up plans to move 600,000 Palestinians to a camp on the ruins of Rafah, something he calls a “humanitarian city.”

Once in, they wouldn’t be allowed to leave.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

This is a shocking, damning admission.

The UK is arming Israel. It is conducting surveillance flights for Israel. It is training military personnel for Israel.

A full, independent, public inquiry into the UK's complicity in the Gaza genocide cannot come soon enough.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

No amount of faux outrage can hide the truth: the British government is complicit in genocide.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

It is outrageous and morally reprehensible that it took the world nearly 80 days of broadcast starvation and cruelty amidst genocide to exert enough pressure on Israel to even slightly ease its total siege that has blocked the entry of all food, medicine, fuel and other vital goods since 2 March.

I still think about him and cry.

[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

Yesterday, a woman came to the clinic, thirty-seven years old, though the lines on her forehead told a much older story. Her voice, when she spoke, was like wind through broken glass. She has idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, diagnosed four years ago, though she didn’t say that, only, “I can’t breathe at night.” And I understood. I placed the stethoscope on her back, and the sound -those dry, cruel crackles- rose like a death rattle from beneath her ribs. Bilateral basal crepitations. Her lungs are no longer organs of breath, but prisons of scar. Her oxygen saturation: 82% on room air. She coughs, always, yet nothing comes up, only fatigue. Only suffering.

I gave her N-acetylcysteine, knowing it’s a weak offering. Bronchodilators- salbutamol, ipratropium- like water handed to a drowning man. No anti-fibrotics here. No pirfenidone, no nintedanib. No CT scanner to measure the damage, no pulmonologist to confirm what I already feel in my bones: her lungs are dying, layer by layer, like pages burning in a book no one gets to finish.

She burns plastic to cook. There’s no gas, no electricity. So she gathers polyethylene bags, broken sandals, PVC pipe fragments, and sets them aflame. The smoke enters her alveoli and inscribes her death sentence line by line. I told her, “You have to stop inhaling the fumes.” She laughed. “Then I will die of hunger instead.” And I hated her for a moment, for the clarity of that response, for naming what I’ve tried not to accept.

What is a doctor, in a place like this? I know the pathophysiology. Every biochemical mechanism by which her lungs are strangling her. But I cannot save her. The Hippocratic oath feels like a farce here. What do I say? “Die cleaner”? “Choke slower”?

I returned to my bench and stared at the bare clinic wall. Outside, children play in rubble, laughing, coughing. The air smells of melted wires. And I, I who studied anatomy and pharmacology and protocols, sat with my head in my hands and asked God if this was medicine, or penance. There is no answer. Only silence. Only the slow, steady suffocation of a woman born into smoke.

[حسام شبات @HossamShabat]

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :

“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.

By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.

I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”

— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Remember when the entire world spent a week arguing whether Israel attacked a Gaza hospital back in Oct 2023? Now it’s just the norm & Israel doesn’t even pretend it isn’t constantly attacking Gaza hospitals. They literally just blew up a cancer hospital on camera the other day.

[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

Israel killed 174+ Palestinian children

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

These are two astounding paragraphs from the Guardian.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

1. This is the kind of move the ICJ specifically warned against in its ongoing genocide case
2. It’s a reminder Gaza is indeed occupied, despite hasbara claims to the contrary, as Israel wouldn’t be able to exert such control at the flick of a switch over a non-occupied place.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

One of those clips where you have to make sure you're not hallucinating.
Donald Trump says Palestinians ought not be allowed to return to Gaza because "why would they want to return? That place has been hell" — next to the grinning man who made it hell
