Luton Palestine Solidarity Campaign: We support the #BDS movement Boycott of Divestment from, and Sanctions against Israel until it treats Palestinians as equal

I will not speak to foreign media about the killing of Palestinian journalists. I will not sit on your global channels to be part of a segment you’ll forget by tomorrow. To you, we are just a headline — a tragedy to consume, not colleagues to defend. We are being hunted and killed in Gaza while you watch in silence. For two years, your fellow journalists here have been slaughtered. What did you do? Nothing. Or maybe it’s because we are Palestinian journalists — we don’t count as “real” colleagues in your eyes.

The #Letters2Gaza campaign aims to refocus attention on the children of Gaza, ensuring their suffering is neither forgotten nor ignored. 1/4

Sometimes you get a glimpse of people's souls. The smug indifference to mass slaughter of children and to those outraged by it, and those applauding thinking this is a good look.
Someone heckles Keir Starmer about the mass slaughter of children in Gaza. Starmer laughs and suggests he got his pass from the 2019 Labour conference. Genuinely vile behaviour.

And still after 2 days, we are waiting for @DavidLammy to condemn the slaughter of over 90 Palestinians in a humanitarian safe zone on Saturday. Spineless complicity
If this is true then the commitment to "change" and an ethical foreign policy has fallen at the first hurdle. To proceed with the ICC objection is to assert that no International body has authority to hold Israel to account for actions in Gaza, however monstrous those actions .

Tomorrow @DavidLammy travels to Israel. Yesterday Israel massacred over 90 Palestinians in a humanitarian safe zone. 24 hours later, @DavidLammy has not commented. The "Change" Government committed to "an ethical foreign policy".
Good to meet with @DavidLammy, the UK’s new Foreign Secretary, at the #NATOSummit to discuss ways to foster the friendship between our two countries. Looking forward to continuing our conversation soon in Israel.

Schools should not be introducing children to weapons manufacturers. Any of them, at any time, in any context.

As Israel began its genocidal assault on Gaza, Britain continued to supply Israel with weapons and military tech for its attacks. 108 arms export licenses issued from 7Oct-31May, and no extant licenses revoked. Britain has enabled Israel's genocide. theguardian.com/world/articl…

On the day we hear @UKLabour will be blocking Dianne Abbott from standing as a Labour MP, they announce that this man, who's a director of lobby group called "We Believe in Israel" will stand as an MP. They're not even hiding it, the UK Labour Party is firmly in the grasp of right wing extremists.
Congratulations to @lukeakehurst, Labour's candidate for North Durham!

Luke Akehurst is a professional lobbyist for Israel who runs We Believe In Israel, an astroturf offshoot of BICOM. Yesterday, as a member of Labour's NEC, he generously selected himself to be Labour's candidate for North Durham. Vote Labour. Get Likud. xitter.cf/RaggedTP/status/133396…

"A siege is appropriate? Cutting off power? Cutting off water?" [War Crimes that constitute Collective Punishment] Keir Starmer: "I think that Israel does have that right". Over 13,000 dead children later, Labour expect you to vote this psychopath in. xitter.cf/LBC/status/17120473879…
“I think that Israel does have that right.” Sir Keir Starmer tells @NickFerrariLBC that it is acceptable for Israel to withhold power and water from citizens in Gaza.

🚨 Take Action against BBC Bias Reporting 🚨 Over the past seven months, the BBC has been bias in its reporting against the Palestinians. The BBC, on Tuesday 28th May, reported the Rafah massacre as: "Despite the appalling scenes from last night, Israeli ground forces still appear to be acting somewhat cautiously as they edge closer to the city of Rafah itself. Their operations so far have not resulted in a bloodbath.” BBC's reporting on Gaza is clearly done from the prespective of the Israeli army. The broadcasting company fail to be balanced and continue to use language that is dehumanising to the Palestinians. We've had enough. We all need to complain to the BBC to report Israeli atrocities accurately! ➡️ Take Action here: foa.org.uk/bbc-bias-reportin…

10,000+ people at Downing Street now for Palestine as Israel continues its brutal attack on Rafah. Our govt and the Labour leadership have provided support for Israel as it commits genocide. They have blood on their hands. They must call for a #CeasefireNOW and #StopArmingIsrael
