The reason I have been tormented for years, accused of the most absurd falsehoods -including being "a threat to the existence of the state of Israel", the U.S., and even "the global economy" (sic!)- is simple: and it’s all right here👇- Thank you @NimerSultany for the 🧵
One way to support @FranceskAlbs is to read, circulate, cite, quote, and teach the rigorous reports she has written on self-determination, carceral system, child rights, genocide, and corporate complicity. Here is a list:

‘There is a moral outrage that people are feeling.’ British-Egyptian actor @KhalidAbdalla spoke to Novara Media yesterday about the responsibility he feels, as a public figure and a person of conscience, to speak up about Palestine. He called on the Labour Party to remember its…
We held a minute’s silence for victims of terrorism everywhere, in which I invited everyone to reflect on Britain’s complicity in genocide and attempts to silence those who stand up against it. This is the full speech I gave outside Westminster Magistrates Court where we stood…
The words before we held a minutes silence for victims of terrorism everywhere, in which I invited everyone to reflect on Britain’s role and complicity in genocide, and attempts to silence those who stand up against one. Full speech in next post.
This is not a photo from Palestinian Nakba 1948. This is a photo from Palestinian Nakba 2023 with all the color taken out. A chilling reminder that history repeats... It was never about “self defense.” It was always about ethnic cleansing.
“The Crown” actor and activist @khalidabdalla has released a new piece of music, dedicated to Palestinian children. He tells me how it all came together and what he sees as the impact of this form of activism.

What @Pal_action do is the exact OPPOSITE of terrorism. @YvetteCooperMP stop this absurd assault on our democracy.

Alaa’s family has spent too many #FathersDay’s without him. He is a father, a writer, a human rights defender - jailed for daring to speak out. Today, we reiterate our call: #FreeAlaa Act now: amn.st/60114MO2c
