Keir Starmer sent a UK spy plane over Gaza for Israel every day from 3 July to 25 July But there hasn't been one for 3 days now Could it be because a BBC journalist finally asked David Lammy about the planes last week? This was the first time in 20 months that a UK minister…
no mention of Israel, no demands on Israel, no suggestion of any kind of action to stop Israel.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
We are watching a live-streamed holocaust That our government is participating in - and lying about it
Eventually, all Palestinian newborns and babies will die under the israeli-enforced famine that the world is ignoring: another child fades
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
Please tell me they've not spent 3 years on this report and all we get is £200,000 in funding and a few NHS education modules? (Oh, and a glaring typo on the front page of the press release, just to set the tone.)

"How could it be done to you and your ancestors, and you turn around and do it to someone else?" American Jewish actor and singer Mandy Patinkin passionately condemns Israel's leadership, calling PM Netanyahu dangerous for Jews globally and denounces Israel’s war on Gaza.

How are you feeling now, Jess? 🤗
It doesn't happen very often...I'm a tough old Broad but today I cried in my surgery about terrible treatment and removal of PIP

In it to win it.

Today, the Israeli military dropped a bomb on children in Gaza waiting for food supplements. This is the result. You want to look away, don’t you? Even if you do, you cannot escape the fact that your government is facilitating this abomination. Do Not Look Away
