"The BBC has been keeping the public in the dark. It is simply not telling the truth about the UK's support for Israel".
Declassified's co-director @markcurtis30 exposes how the BBC has covered up British complicity in the Gaza genocide👇
Peace activist Gabriel Carlyle arrested for second time in relation to the Palestine Action ban. Gabriel was holding a sign (at today’s Gaza March) designed to comply with the law. He was arrested shortly after this conversation with the police. @DefendourJuries

A wonderful opportunity tomorrow night to hear a legendary US peace activist, Kathy Kelly. Kathy was in Iraq during both the 1991 and 2003 wars, and led many sanctions-breaking delegations to Iraq in between. Peace News is honoured to be hosting Kathy. peacenews.info/node/10467/re…

UPDATE: This is what happened this evening when @AhmedEttanji tried to leave his house:
We're getting worrying reports that our colleague and friend, journalist @AhmedEttanji's house in the occupied territories of Western Sahara is surrounded by Moroccan security services this evening. His journalism has shed light on Rabat's human rights abuses in Western Sahara.
Western Sahara has been illegally occupied by Morocco since 1975. Now Morocco has broken the ceasefire that's existed since 1991.
We wrote a piece for today's @thecontinent_/@mailandguardian, in partnership with @AfricaDemocracy on the outbreak of war in Western Sahara, and why Saharawi people have returned to armed struggle after a 29-year ceasefire agreement with Rabat: bucket.mg.co.za/wp-media/202…

UPDATE: as of this morning, Sunday 22nd of November, Moroccan police are still surrounding both houses of our colleagues from @Equipe_Media, Ahmed and Nazha, in the occupied territories of Western Sahara:
URGENT: Today was the wedding of two of our friends and colleague journalists at @Equipe_Media: @AhmedEttanji and @ElkhalidiNazha in occupied El Aaiún, Western Sahara. Instead of celebration, it's been a day of terror from Moroccan police: 1/4

As my wife said at dinner, Trump shot 200,000 people on Fifth Avenue, and now we'll see if he gets away with it.

How do you pose with a nuclear bomb?! We would have dismantled it, but we weren't allowed to break the props #icanparisforum #nuclearban

It is quarter past four in the morning and four of us are still up casting. We have been creatively occupying the British Museum with performative interventions for 45 hours. #BPMustFall.
#dropbp Finale. Hundreds of people sitting down in the #BritishMuseum to say no to BP sponsorship
