This is what I think. Just me
BREAKING: anti-racists have outnumbered the far right in #epping today. Everywhere they march we will oppose them #standuptoracism
Stop selling arms to Israel then.
The humanitarian suffering in Gaza has reached new depths. Today's announcement of a temporary humanitarian pause by the IDF is essential but long overdue. Read my full statement ⬇️
Britain 🇬🇧 should do SO much more than recognise Palestine 🇵🇸. We have a duty to restrain Israel’s genocidal violence and bring an end to the occupation. How? End arms, dual use, energy shipments. Ban complicit companies from public contracts. Expel Elbit. Try soldiers & more
Mark Ruffalo “Sanctions on South Africa helped free its Black people it’s time for sanctions on Israel to free Palestinians.” One of the few celebrities who actually cares for Palestinians.
Do not look away Mass starvation of a civilian population in 2025 Live-streamed How can the 8 billion people on this planet have allowed this abomination to happen?
Another 5 kids died of starvation today in Gaza.
#trevorphillips: "The Israeli view is that there is no famine caused by Israel. Theres a man made shortage but its been engineered by Hamas..." Bob Geldof: "The Israeli authorities are lying" "They're lying, did you say?" "They're lying. Netanyahu is a liar. The IDF are lying"
#Trevorphillips: "The point I'm really just making is, isn't it a bit unfair to say this is the Israelis as a whole" Bob Geldof: "Stop it Trevor.. if Israelis want to protest.. stuff your cars full of food & drive through that border & let your own army stop you.. shame on you"
The British government “care more about red paint on planes than they do about red blood on the walls of tents in Gaza.” Actor Juliet Stevenson attended the demonstration outside Downing Street last night, to demand our government takes action to prevent mass starvation in…
BREAKING: Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir says PM Benjamin Netanyahu is “morally bankrupt” for ALLOWING aid into Gaza and demands the complete starvation of Palestinians. This is not a redeemable society.
Thank you. The number of presenters and journalists suddenly posting all over their social media - actual and implied protestations - in the last 24 hours when the they’ve been silent for the last 21 months is the most egregious display of hypocrisy I’ve seen in my lifetime.
What an absolute disgrace of a statement. Israel will destroy itself with its lies; no one can believe a single word that comes from its government. Staggering in its stupidity. Let the international media into Gaza - until it does, the only rational response is to disbelieve.
"We call on the @UN: Leave your collaborative effort with Hamas." Israel is ready to flood Gaza with aid. The GHF is delivering food to the people of Gaza, not to Hamas. But the UN is slowing us down by insisting on collaborating with Hamas. Hunger in Gaza is on the UN-Hamas…
Gaza dies while super-rich Arab states like Saudi Arabia and the Emirates look away and scoff Dubai ice-cream. Appalling regimes.
So little, so late, President @vonderleyen : After you have given Israel 21 months a free pass in Gaza, it will take more than words to prevent Israel from completing its genocidal mission and overt ethnic cleansing campaign. And even more, to repair what's left of the EU…
Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law. Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long.…
Spain’s MEP Irene Montero: “Israel is starving to death those it hasn’t already killed with bombs in Gaza.” “90% of the population is in phase 5 famine, and soon 400 people a day will die of hunger.” “This is extermination.” “And Europe is on its knees before Israel.” 🇪🇸 🇵🇸
For every politician and journalist who supported Israel's onslaught, or stayed silent: This photograph should haunt you for the rest of your life. You will never scrub the shame away. No future achievement, however great, will ever erase what you helped inflict on Gaza.
Fun fact. The Tories tripled the national debt despite cutting services for 14 years. Where all the money went does not interest the very very rich former BBC employee Andrew Neil.
BREAKING NEWS: More pressure on Chancellor Reeves to raise taxes/repair public finances/‘fix the foundations’ (still a work in progress, contrary to ministerial claims): UK government borrowing rose to almost £21 billion last month, £6.6bn higher than June 2024 and the…
