I was in my early twenties, and I have never forgotten watching this on the news. That was the moment I started paying attention to the Palestinian cause. 1/3
"All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges" — except effectively doing what must be done to stop this genocide.
The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges
At this point, Gaza has become an extermination zone—a disgrace to the world that has witnessed and allowed it to happen. This has forever changed my political conscience. Our political institutions no longer represent me in any way.
Twenty-five Western nations accused Israel of 'drip-feeding' aid to Gaza civilians and condemned the 'horrifying' killings. Yet they have done nothing meaningful to stop it—absolutely nothing.
I'm in contact with some people in Gaza, and I've seen how drastically they've lost weight over the past few months. So even if there were no other evidence — and there's plenty — I would have no doubt that the Palestinians in Gaza are being starved by Israel.
In Bath, UK, people read the names of 15,500 Palestinian children killed in Gaza — nonstop for 17 hours. Artists, teachers, parents, even an MP stood in tears, name after name. Different tongues. One conscience. Not just a vigil — a stand for humanity. Their names filled the…

Our inboxes are full and phones won’t stop ringing. People are starving and we can’t find food. Keep donating medication, water and any food we manage to find: chuffed.org/project/113222…
Portugal, my home country, opposed the inclusion of a reference to the Palestinians’ right to food in a joint declaration by the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP). At this point, this equates to supporting the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
