Israeli leaders dreamt of redrawing the Middle East and erasing Palestine. But its wars of expansion have pushed the region to work together against it.

Israel bombed and bulldozed Commonwealth war graves in Gaza and you're worried about a badge. Rank hypocrisy.
The chutzpah of the woman married to our Security Advisor Jonathan Powell is jaw-dropping.
While her terrorist-supporting tweets are raked over in the national press, she doubles down, presently celebrating the idea of the ‘Palestine poppy’.
That is, celebrating a movement which actively attacks UK war memorials now appropriating the Poppy which symbolises the men and women who gave their lives to fight for our freedoms. The same freedoms the people she adores would take from us.

Once again, Israel’s apartheid system is turning the olive harvest into a season of horror for Palestinian families across the occupied West Bank. State-driven attacks by settlers on farmers that damage, destroy and steal crops, combined with Israeli military restrictions on access to groves, are causing immense suffering and economic loss for Palestinians.

Honoured to welcome Francesca Albanese, #UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, to the Embassy of the State of Palestine in London earlier today. Francesca is a steady and powerful voice for truth, justice and international law.
With humanity, courage and conviction, Francesca has engraved her name in the Palestinian people’s long journey to freedom, justice and peace. She has our deepest respect and gratitude.

Israel has expanded its military occupation of the Gaza Strip in violation of the ‘ceasefire’, forcing Palestinians into an ever-smaller area of the besieged territory.
Here is how much of Gaza Israel has seized since the ‘ceasefire’ ⤵️

Congratulations Justice Pillay!
The committee in granting her the Nobel peace prize: “An international legal system in which war criminals are held to account and the victims of abuse see justice served is a precondition for a peaceful world.”
May this justice start in Palestine

Israel’s expanding network of checkpoints is UNLAWFUL and must be dismantled immediately.
Part of the carceral geography of apartheid, it makes Palestiniams' daily life fully dependent on arbitrariness.
Thank you @WIRED for exposing this viciousness: wired.com/story/how-israeli-…
Checkpoints in occupied #WestBank are choking Palestinian life, warns @FranceskAlbs. “System of fragmentation & control must end. Palestinians must be able to move freely across their land, live together as a people & exercise right to self-determination.”

The most immoral army.
The army of the deranged ones. Committing the monstrosity of the century.
Every day, new brushes of horror.

The genocide continues in Gaza. Two Christian women, a mother and her daughter, were among the five people killed when a residential building was bombed in the middle of the night in Gaza.
Lord have mercy!

She's a 94 year old Jewish human rights lawyer.
She's been arrested under terrorism legislation for opposing genocide.
The least we can do is to listen.
