Two months ago Odeh Hadalin came to the US at the invitation of Jewish groups—he was detained at SFO and deported without explanation. Today, he was murdered by a settler Trump let off US sanctions list. This is what their policy protects. haaretz.com/us-news/2025-0…
One of the most wonderful people I knew, my close friend, Awdah Hathaleen, was murdered today. Shot by Yinon Levy, a settler in Masafer Yatta. Israeli soldiers who arrived on the scene said they wished it were them who shot Awdah. After, the army arrested Palestinians, pointed…
Never forget that the hostages could have been freed on Oct 9th

🚨🔔 🚨🔔 🚨🔔 🚨🔔 🚨🔔 HSE are holding their AGM on 29th July. I have tabled 3 questions in advance. These may be of interest to healthcare workers - those still in service and those who were injured by Covid and can no longer work (or are limited as to what they can do).
Of the people who have starved to death in Gaza since the beginning of the war, 80 percent are children, @UNICEF reports: unicef.org/press-releases… This is an episode that shames the world, and the US is particularly complicit.
Pushing for meaningful action on Palestine, weeks after you voted to proscribe Palestine Action? You acted to protect the Israeli weapons industry whilst Palestinians are facing a genocide.
Enough is enough. The UK must recognise the State of Palestine, not as a gesture, but as part of urgent international action to end the atrocities in Gaza and hold Israel accountable. I’ve signed this letter and will keep pushing for meaningful action.
Recognising the State of Palestine, at the height of the genocide, is a belated act of coherence that, HOWEVER, if not supported by concrete actions to end apartheid and its associated crimes, risks distracting from the existential threat the Palestinian people face right now.
Now watch as Zionists pressure Australian Jews to “come home” not because of danger, but because Prime Minister Anthony Albanese @AlboMPdared to defy Israeli policy. Zionism never protected Jews, it used them. Source @authenttorahjew @TorahJudaism
"In several of the hospitals still functioning in Gaza, nurses are fainting from hunger and dehydration. Managers often cannot provide meals for patients or medical staff. Doctors are running low on formula for newborn babies…, giving them water alone." trib.al/dpG0Fos
“Why use airdrops when you can drive hundreds of trucks through the borders?,” UNRWA @JulietteTouma tells @nytimes. “It’s much easier, more effective, faster, cheaper.” Airdrops will not reverse the deepening starvation in #Gaza. At UNRWA, we have the equivalent of 6,000 trucks…
If Cypriots could pull this off, it would be a major service to whole of West Asia and North Africa RAF Akrotiri is the central node in Anglo-American empire's domination of the region It has been the key international site for supporting and supplying Israel's genocide in Gaza
The most effective direct action possible is not to march on Rafah - which the Egyptian government will always block - but to match on RAF Akrotiri, the West's crucial hub to support Israel. The Cypriot government will not defend it and the UK government cannot.

Every editor who canceled a story about Palestine brought us here. Every boss who censored an employee. Everyone who said “not this way” to protesters. Every university admin calling the cops. Bloody. All your hands are bloody, and we will never forget.
March 2024 "One child had burns so bad you could see her facial bones. We knew there was no chance of her surviving that but there was no morphine to give her. So not only was she inevitably going to die but she would die in agony" Hazarika, July 2025 "Its gone too far now"
Baroness Hazarika: ".... you look at whats happening now and I think war crimes are being committed now.. its gone too far now" People like Hazarika understand its gone too far to continue to be defended without personal cost #GMB
This is how he will be remembered. A man who stood up and defended the actions of a state that had already killed thousands — that was already breaking nearly every foundational article of int law. Starmer will be tried in The Hague, and sooner than he might think.
This is extraordinary. A GHF ex contractor, former US special forces lieutenant-colonel, tells @BowenBBC he never saw brutality against civilians like he did at the hands of the IDF and US contractors in Gaza - and he fought ISIS and the Taliban bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w1…
Footage has emerged showing Berlin police violently handling peaceful protesters during a demonstration in support of Gaza. One clip shows a man being assaulted while standing calmly, showing no resistance. In another, officers are seen aggressively covering a protester’s eyes…
🇩🇪 Fully aware this is beyond my UN remit. BUT. As a conscientious European I ask: will anyone confront Germany for its POLICE’s shameful, sustained, and widespread violence that, after a year, reveals an institutionalized descent into repression? While too many Germans remain,…
This was Germany today: police brutally beating up peaceful protesters against genocide in Gaza. Imagine destroying your own democracy so that another country can continue to commit genocide.
Award-winning author and journalist, @GeorgeMonbiot was today joined by 8 fellow Lift The Ban sign-holders and around 200 members of the public in support of the de-proscription of direct action group Palestine Action. Join us on August 9th: wedonotcomply.org
