When the final list of the worst genocide apologists and most brazen liars is written, this guy will be near the top. A complete and utter shill for Netanyahu and apologist for mass starvation and the bombing and shooting of civilians.
"Since October 7, I have been to Gaza four times embedded with the Israel Defense Forces. I have interviewed the Prime Minister of Israel, the Defense Minister, the IDF Chief of Staff, Southern Command leadership, and dozens of commanders and soldiers on the front lines. I have…
BREAKING: Israeli Forces Intercept Gaza Aid Flotilla and Take 20 Crew Members Captive The ‘Handala’ is the third aid flotilla ship attacked in the last year, as Israel continues to starve 2 million Palestinians @zeteo_news zeteo.com/p/breaking-isr…
There should be no confusion - every country that blocks flotillas trying to break the siege of Gaza is complicit in the genocide of Palestinians.
The Israeli occupation forces has illegally intercepted and boarded the Handala freedom flotilla.
Remember: the UK recognising Palestine won't feed people being intentionally starved. It won't stop the bombs or put Israel's criminal leaders in jail. MPs mustn't forget what is most urgently needed: sanctions, a full arms embargo, and accountability for the genocidaires.
🚨 UPDATE: 221 MPs from 9 parties have signed the joint letter calling on Keir Starmer to recognise a Palestinian state
The way to do this is to summon the Israeli Ambassador, explain that if aid isn’t trucked in without hindrance within 24 hours then all economic and military ties will be suspended, sanctions imposed, the Ambassador expelled, and Britain will join South Africa’s ICJ case. But no.
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.…
It is simply remarkable how much the recent pivots to condemning Israel are premised on fabricating a recent watershed, on summoning a new history of events. Hind Rajab was killed a year and a half ago. The ICJ case was filed in 2023.
If you know any Gazan students in this situation - scholarships at UK universities but unable to leave due to biometric requirements - please drop me a message! theguardian.com/education/2025…
This humanitarian catastrophe did not happen in a vacuum. Giving Israel carte blanche to act the way it has, repeating Netanyahu’s lines at the dispatch box, refusing to see Palestinians as human - it’s all led to this. Too little, too late.
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.
Become a GLAN supporter glanlaw.org/donate 📰News this week has shown that the era of impunity is coming to an end! ⚖️We believe that those in power must be held accountable for their actions. Do you agree✅? Will you stand with us✊?
You paved the way for this. Words mean nothing now.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
Israel is carrying out war crime after war crime in Gaza. The UK must act – enforce a ceasefire, impose sanctions on Israel, recognise Palestine, and end the blockade on Gaza. Inaction is a moral stain on our national conscience. There is no neutrality in the face of this…

While babies die of starvation in Gaza, Israel confiscates baby formula from doctors going in to save lives. You cannot tell me the UK govt has done “everything” to stop this. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
.@WHO’s staff residence in Deir al Balah, #Gaza, was attacked three times today as well as its main warehouse. Israeli military entered the premises, forcing women and children to evacuate on foot toward Al-Mawasi amid active conflict. Male staff and family members were…
Extraordinary. AFP says its journalists are in imminent risk of being starved to death by Israel. This has never happened since the agency was founded. Never has any of its journalists been starved to death
Gaza is being deliberately starved to death in front of the whole world, and the only people being arrested over it are those who opposed the crime.
We are receiving desperate messages of starvation from #Gaza, including from our colleagues. Food prices have increased 40 fold. Meanwhile, just outside Gaza, stockpiled in warehouses UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for over three months. The suffering in Gaza…
The time for these words (unconditional ceasefire) has long gone. Since then it has become painfully obvious - because Israel is killing Palestinians with sheer wanton abandon - that only action matters. So what is the government actually going to do?
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…
