Rights freedom equality. Anti-colonial, -apartheid, -complicity. 🇵🇸🇱🇧 Currently @WarOnWant, ex- @MedicalAidPal & @Amnesty. Tweets own, obvs
1/ 🇮🇱 settlements are *not only* illegal, constitute war crimes & the backbone of a system of apartheid, demanding action by 3rd states not to aid & abet them ⬇️but cause devastating harm & human rights violations for the Palestinian population. A🧵 ICJ Advisory Opinion 19/7/24
Yes we the British people are "sickened" by the suffering in Gaza but also by your role in it. You supported the blockade, you still give arms & surveillance. And stop calling it a "war"; it is genocide by the illegally occupying settler- colonial apartheid state. Free Palestine
The appalling scenes in Gaza are unrelenting. The UK will pull every lever we have to get food and lifesaving support to Palestinians, and we will evacuate children who need urgent medical assistance. This humanitarian catastrophe must end.
Shut it down! Well done to campaigners in Bristol who blockaded Elbit's site in Filton this morning. #StopArmingIsrael
🚨Exposing Israel's sinister blame game: Since Oct 2023, Israel has been forcing aid trucks to empty their cargo at Gaza's border crossings & leave Then the few remaining trucks inside Gaza have to petition Israel for a permit to come & collect those piling truckloads. IDF…
15-year-old footballer Ahmad Ali Salah was shot and killed by Israel in Bethlehem, West Bank. He played for Al-Khadr Academy. Ahmad was just a kid. This is the 4th consecutive day I report the killing of a Palestinian footballer. 12 players have been killed in July. Horrifying.
For the third day in a row, I report the killing of a Palestinian footballer. Imad Youssef Al-Hawajri — handball player for Khidmat Al-Nuseirat, youth national team member, and also a footballer for Al-Ribat, was slaughtered by Israel in Gaza today. 11 players killed in July.
"States must prioritize [at the UN conference] ending Israel’s genocide, unlawful occupation and apartheid" - you are on notice @Keir_Starmer @DavidLammy @HFalconerMP amnesty.org/en/latest/news…
"More platitudes [at the conference] about a two-state solution & peace process will do nothing...to halt the extermination of Palestinians in Gaza" - you are on notice @Keir_Starmer @DavidLammy @HFalconerMP! hrw.org/news/2025/07/2…
Ian Hislop, "It is pretty ludicrous we have got to a state where a man is arrested for carrying a joke? I mean, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, all those things we claim to be interested in?" Shame on @YvetteCooperMP and @Keir_Starmer - this isn't the change any of us…
Mohammed Al-Mutawa, 1.5 years old, one of the over 2 million victims of Israel's systematic starvation of Gaza PS: Notice the black plastic bag wrapped around him instead of a diaper. Israel is blocking both diapers and baby formula from entering Gaza.
Every Palestinian child in Gaza is facing starvation as Israel’s genocide continues with complete impunity before the eyes of the world
🚨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
Arms embargo now is essential & already too late. Too many bloody loopholes, too little transparency. End the genocide. Reduce UK complicity. #StopArmingIsraelffs
I have written a letter to the Foreign Secretary and Business Secretary, supported by @CAATuk and co-signed by 56 MPs/Lords, calling for an arms embargo on Israel and transparency into export controls. We should not arm a state involved in the indiscriminate killing of civilians.
Keir Starmer and David Lammy both belong in The Hague.
If not now when @Keir_Starmer @DavidLammy @HFalconerMP @JennyChapman @JohnHealey_MP @jreynoldsMP
The @LemkinInstitute is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU…
14 examples of Israeli genocidal barbarities in Gaza. No one can say they did not know. 🧵 1. Shooting holders of white flags, aid seekers
Such a pity & screaming double standard that you refuse to use economic or any other leverage - despite being mandated to do so by the ICJ - to stop Israel's genocide, illegal occupation & apartheid.
We stand united with our European partners behind Ukraine. Together we are hammering Putin's oil revenues, stranding his beleaguered shadow fleet and blocking billions from his war chest. Only through maximum economic pressure will we achieve a just and lasting peace.
"Breaking": UK & others strongly criticise 🇮🇱 killings & policies in Gaza and the West Bank - BUT STILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING gov.uk/government/new…
RIP Amr. Relentless, systematic cruel & criminal killing of children & targeting of their family members & life-saving aid. 5 Palestinian children killed monthly in the West Bank by the IOF.
13-year-old Amr Ali Ahmad Qabha was fatally shot in the back at least seven times by Israeli forces in Ya'bad last night. Israeli soldiers handcuffed Amr's father next to his son's bleeding body, blocking paramedic access, for about 40 minutes. dci-palestine.org/13_year_old_pa…
The killing in Gaza continues Yesterday, July 19, the Israeli military killed 144 people, 42 of whom were waiting for humanitarian aid. ישראל ממשיכה את ההרג בעזה. אתמול, 19.7, הצבא הישראלי הרג 144 בני אדם - מתוכם 42 בעת שחיכו לסיוע הומניטרי.
