What is the UK government @Keir_Starmer, @DavidLammy, @HFalconerMP, doing to stop Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza? What are they doing to prevent the same in Lebanon? The UK is complicit. It’s shameful and disgusting. My piece: middleeasteye.net/opinion/uk-gaz…
"I want to be clear – what is being done to Palestinians in Gaza is barbaric and entirely preventable." Dr Nick Maynard (@maynard_nick) has been working at Nasser Hospital in Gaza with MAP's latest Emergency Medical Team. Read his opinion piece 👇 ow.ly/i2lY50Wt8tG
Caabu's Malaka El-Gammal explains the background to the UK government's failure to publish its response to the ICJ opinion on Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory, and why 112 politicians have demanded in a Caabu letter why this must happen. caabu.org/news/video/mal…
Has the UK really learned the lessons of Iraq? Don't count on it @Caabu's Head of Parliamentary Affairs @josephwillits writes for @The_NewArab newarab.com/opinion/has-uk…
Has the UK really learnt the lessons of Iraq? That it even contemplated joining Israel in attacking Iran, being complicit in its aggression, is staggering as it commits genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, attacks on Lebanon & Syria. Me for @The_NewArab newarab.com/opinion/has-uk…
This is some serious comms from team Polanski.
⏳ Final week to sign up to the Green Party. 🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.
The bodies of dead children we see from Gaza every day have "Made in the UK" burned into their wounds. Thank you @SarahChampionMP for refusing to let this go. Until F-35 parts stop flowing from the UK to Israel, Britain remains complicit.
Chair, @SarahChampionMP, has responded to the Government’s “unsatisfactory” response to the Chair's letter on F-35 sales. Find out more ⬇️
This story is so dystopian, using anti-terror legislation to arrest a man for holding up a cartoon from a beloved national magazine at a peaceful demo. I really lost it though when the police got the suspect's name after finding his "senior bus pass" theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
Gove is an extremist, and a dangerous one at that. One of those Israel can do no wrong types, even when it is committing a genocide
Kevin Maguire "Are you really blaming what Israel is now doing, killing Palestinians in huge numbers, on Hamas? Are you really doing that?" Michael Gove: "Yes" Gove isn't just an apologist for genocide. He's cheering it on #GMB
Your charity, your words of shock after the genocide, won’t make a difference. We will not accept your apology after the genocide. What has been done, has been done. I want you to look in the mirror, and ask: where was I when Gaza was going through a genocide?
For anyone still calling Daniela Weiss a fringe radical—here she’s in the Knesset, flanked by ministers and MKs, at a forum called “Gaza Riviera: from idea to reality.” These are the most powerful officials planning Judenrein in Gaza and the West Bank. Anyone who claims this…
Our latest @YouGov poll on UK opnion on Palestine is out - Around half (48-57%) the British public back a range of sanctions on Israel in latest poll 1/ caabu.org/news/news/caab…
These were the last photos I took of my hometown, Deir el-Balah. Tonight, Israel is bombing my beautiful town from the air, land, and sea, with fire belts that will likely cause massive destruction. I will always remember my city like this: beautiful and peaceful. Pray for my…
Silence or Death. The Israeli army is once again threatening journalists for exposing the truth from Gaza. After I reported live on civilians collapsing from hunger, I was directly targeted with public incitement by the army’s spokesperson. This is an attempt to silence us—and…
Israel is smashing what remains of the humanitarian system in Gaza. Our vital polyclinic is being forced to evacuate. There is nowhere safe to go. This must end now, and so must UK complicity @DavidLammy @HFalconerMP @JennyChapman
🚨One of our lifesaving clinics has been forced to close after the Israeli military issued new forced displacement orders. This is an attack on humanitarian operations that will sever the last remaining threads of Gaza’s health and aid system. Read more: map.org.uk/news/archive/p…
We have asked, advocated, and campaigned. We urged, we demanded we marched. We have begged, pleaded and broken down in tears in front of your officials. Please for the love of God @DavidLammy @Keir_Starmer tell us what it will take for you to actually stand against this.
"We are doing anything we can to prevent any act of Genocide" is a lie. We and other humanitarian agencies have been *begging* the government to take more action for months, but they refuse to dig deeper into the policy toolkit. Sanctions, arms embargoes, trade restrictions.
TODAY: @DavidLammy says the UK is doing all it can to prevent genocide - but for Palestinians in #Gaza, this simply isn't true. The UK continues to supply arms to Israel, including parts for lethal F-35 jets, and has failed to use every tool available to hold Israel accountable.
Don't call the concentration camp a concentration camp.
Defense chief says Israel plans to concentrate all Gaza’s population in ‘humanitarian’ city built on Rafah ruins. @haaretzcom
Israel's attack on Tehran killed 100 transgender people held in Evin prison They were inmates who lived in a trans section of the jail destroyed by the Israeli attack This is on top of the 79 Iranians confirmed killed in Israel's attack on the prison This is HORRIFIC
Any objective observer can see how history will treat this moment.
Over 20 arrests for peaceful protest. Absolute disgrace. These people are on the right side of history. (Pol Allingham/PA)
