There are two kinds of bigotry in the west. A visceral racism that targets people of colour and a ‘sophisticated’ liberalism that masks hatred behind a facade of tolerance. Both come from a misplaced superiority. A belief that European man and his culture are a gift to the world.

You own this genocide. You aided it. Continue to arm it. Gave it diplomatic cover. You courted the most vile fascists and refused to call out this slaughter, hiding behind illusory requirments for judicial opinions, ignoring the evidence of your eyes. Clarity, we have. About your…
This you?
Israel must allow aid in over land to end the starvation unfolding in Gaza. The situation is desperate. We are working with Jordan to get aid into Gaza. We are urgently accelerating efforts to evacuate children who need critical medical assistance to the UK for treatment.…
"I am very comfortable with the support that we give to Israel" - David Lammy, House of Commons, 3 Sept 2024. This quote and this picture should be on every billboard in Tottenham at the next election.
“He took the beatings for us.” 🚨HEARTBREAKING: 14 year old Palestinian boy freed from Israeli captivity says: “He was our older brother in prison… they tortured him for us. F*ck your aid!” He was one of 10 children kidnapped by Israeli forces while trying to get food in…
Still cannot use the word ‘genocide’ nor call out his government for feeding and arming the slaughter and forced starvation. London should divest from this rogue state. Calling for meaningless ‘statehood’ is what you do when you are forced to comment but do not want to ruffle…
The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.

Whenever I land in Istanbul, I like to visit the spectacular airport Ali Kuscu Camii




Later today on @thinking_muslim we speak with @SALHACHIMI about escalating tensions in Syria and Israel’s plan to divide the country and thwart the revolution. youtube.com/@thethinkingmu…
Completely and utterly shameless.
Jordan has prepared something for Gaza to stop the starvation by launching an international food festival in its capital.
The IDF playing hunger games for fun and sports and cruelty everyday in Gaza like this
“In my dream, I carry a loaf of bread And when awake, I carry a small coffin instead”
أحملُ رغيفًا في الحلم، وفي الصحو... أحملهُ نعشًا صغيرًا.
Omar bin Khattab once swore not to eat butter since many Muslims could not obtain it. One day, his stomach rumbled from hunger, & he said, "Rumble or do not rumble, you will not eat untill the stomachs of the children are full.” This is the solidarity he had with his people.
Finally. Two Israeli soldiers have been arrested in Belgium facing accusations of war crimes in Gaza. The days of impunity for Israelis are coming to an end.
Famine is not a product of "war". It's a deliberate policy or annihilation, with the collusion of the US, UK and EU.
"There is no case since WW2 of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled" Famine expert Alex de Waal on Israel deliberately starving an entire civilian population
I can’t begin to imagine the sin one incurs standing on the border of Rafah and blocking food from entering on behalf of a genocidal entity. I literally can’t think of a more sinful type of employment.
If Egypt opened Rafah crossing for just one day, thousands of children would survive.
Truly unbelievable. A thousandth of the amount of crimes against humanity being committed every day should be enough. What more is needed? I never thought we would see this level of neglect in my lifetime.
If Egypt opened Rafah crossing for just one day, thousands of children would survive.
International order, interfaith, civilised world, human rights, democracy, women's rights, children's rights, animal rights... #Gaza has shown how hollow those words are. We will never forget.
اوقفوا المجاعة الوحشية في غزة Stop the criminal starvation of Gaza
Funny how neither the UAE nor Israel ever cared for the 500,000+ civilians slaughtered in Syria by Assad for over a decade For Israel this is a pretext to grab territory/influence in Syria’s south - what’s in it for the UAE?
The bombing won't stop here now. Pray for our survival, please. The bombing won't stop. We are being exterminated. No one hears us. I wish I could record a video for you of what we are going through now. 😔💔
➡️Look at this video. I just want you to hear the sound of the planes. I want to show you a small part of the suffering we live through here in Gaza. I hope I can get out of here as soon as possible. Please, help us survive, sometimes food is the only thing that comforts us from…
Disgraceful, how do these organisations continue to act with little regard for the lives of those in Gaza. He literally banned doctors from wearing Palestinian flag badges in solidarity with those his government helps to murder.
Wes Streeting MP was the keynote speaker at The Muslim News Awards in London last night. Streeting, the current Health Secretary, is a stanuch supporter of Israel and infamously refused to back a ceasefire in Gaza in a parliamentary vote in November 2023. 5Pillars understands…
