Amazon Labor Union leader Chris Smalls @Shut_downAmazon is on the #Handala, the 37th ship to challenge Israel’s illegal siege on #Gaza. Amazon has invested billions in intelligence like the Nimbus project, used for the surveillance and targeting of Palestinians. Chris shares…
"The UK govt's continued complicity in Israel’s atrocities is unconscionable, and I do not want to spend another day operating on children who have been shot and starved by a military our government supports." Prof Nick Maynard @MedicalAidPal theguardian.com/commentisfree/… #Palestine
🚨Child starvation is surging in Gaza as Israel escalates its genocide and targets aid seekers. Without immediate action from world leaders, Israel may wipe out an entire generation of Palestinians in Gaza. Read more: ow.ly/pEhj50WtnHs

We welcome the Govt’s choice of Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson for the next Chair of @EHRC We are disappointed to hear that @CommonsWEC & @HumanRightsCtte are not endorsing Dr Stephenson & we have written to @bphillipsonMP to express our support for Mary-Ann. 🔗filia.org.uk/latest-news/20…
The UK must do everything in its power to enforce a ceasefire and immediately: 🔴 Suspend all arms transfers to Israel, including parts for F-35 jets. 🔴 Hold all perpetrators accountable and end Israel's impunity. 🔴 Take all possible steps to end Israel's unlawful occupation.
Palestinians in Gaza are being exterminated right now. The time for threats of "further action" has long passed. We cannot stress this enough: without a full suspension of arms to Israel and urgent, meaningful accountability, the UK remains complicit in Israel's atrocities.
The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. Alongside 25 other partners, the UK message is clear: the war in Gaza must end now. We need an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages and a full resumption of aid. gov.uk/government/new…
