Excited to have signed a contract with @politybooks to write The End of Humanitarianism: Saving Lives in the Age of Impunity. It’s about aid hypocrisies, culminating in Gaza, threatening the entire endeavour: a system funded by the states selling the bombs. And what comes next?
Mohammad al-Sawafiri, a person with special needs, has just died of malnutrition.
An American doctor describing the impact of growing malnutrition in Gaza caused by Israel's siege famine –– not, as NBC describes it, a "hunger crisis"
‘I’m thinking about all the medical staff and medical facilities in Gaza that have been destroyed by the by the genocide by the Israeli Defence Forces.’ Yesterday Metropolitan police made dozens of arrests of non-violent protestors for holding up placards outside Parliament…
The United Nations does not work with active participants in genocide.
Well, this is awkward… @cindymccain, we met with your COO, @CarlSkau, in Jerusalem and had several meetings with WFP Country Director Antoine Renard, as well as your Tel Aviv staff. We’ve also reached out to you and your team via email; in fact, we sent you an email yesterday.…
And why would Western states believe the words of famous anti-Israel agitator and Palestinian solidarity activist *checks notes* Cindy McCain?
"This is one of the worst tragedies we've seen so far," @WFPChief Cindy McCain tells @BeckyCNN, describing a deadly incident yesterday in which dozens were killed and injured by Israeli gunfire in Gaza while seeking aid from a convoy of World Food Programme trucks.
.@kitmalthouse is one of the rarest of things – an honourable Tory MP.
Extraordinary scenes in the Commons tonight as Tory MP @kitmalthouse correctly accuses UK foreign secretary David Lammy of complicity in Israel’s crimes and warns him that he could end up in The Hague
Israel has expelled @_jwhittall – a very experienced humanitarian – and done so while 500,000 people, thanks to a starvation-siege, are now at the highest level of food insecurity. We all know that this is a genocide. And accountability will come, sooner than many think.
NEW: Israel Expels Senior UN Humanitarian Official for Exposing Starvation and War Crimes in Gaza Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has confirmed that he ordered the expulsion of Jonathan Whittall, the head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian…

יש גבול לכל תעלול. בעקבות התנהלות מגמתית ועויינת נגד ישראל, שעיוותה את המציאות, הציגה דיווחים מסולפים, הוציאה את דיבת ישראל ואף הפרה את כללי האו״ם עצמם בדבר נייטרליות, ובהתאם להמלצת הגורמים המקצועיים, הנחיתי שלא להאריך את אשרת השהייה של הממונה על משרד OCHA בישראל ג’ונתן וויטול.…
عنجد يا ريت كنت بعرف شي عن الشرق الأوسط، بس للأسف أنا “low IQ” ومش مهتمّ بالمنطقة ابداً
And I want to live in a world where this kind of boring, incurious, low-IQ moral posturing is driven out of debate with prejudice. I of course have a view about the conflict in Palestine, but it’s in fact very easy to see how people arrive at the opposite one. You only have to…
The Observer has now deleted the post, but shame on them for publishing such racist trash in the first place. The editor and “artist” still haven’t apologised. So much for accountability. Pathetic.
Brownfacing a box of raisins and mocking my surname. Exactly what you’d expect from a right-wing hack who is the daughter of an aristocrat and ex-Tory MP.

Respectfully, as a born and bred Phoenician - hiking Camelback Mountain in July, in jeans, is just absolutely batshit crazy my friend.
This is a pretty succinct summary of the very noticeable shift in Zionist online rhetoric. They’ve given up denials and instead are just going full fascist demonisation
STOP CALLING THEM 'PALESTINE' PROTESTS they are JIHADI ANTI JEWISH ANTI WESTERN PROTESTS
We don’t sell them weapons, you fucking moron
We don’t sell them weapons, you fucking moron
Have you tried not selling them weapons?
The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. Alongside 25 other partners, the UK message is clear: the war in Gaza must end now. We need an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages and a full resumption of aid. gov.uk/government/new…
🚨Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori will ask for permission to challenge the group's proscription at the High Court today. Declassified is monitoring the hearing, and we'll be posting live updates here👇
The Israeli Authorities are starving civilians in #Gaza. Among them are 1 million children. Lift the siege: allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.
