What we achieved was so astounding, taking Wes Streeting to 500 votes that the mainstream press wants to completely erase me from the narrative. Shocking. standard.co.uk/news/politics…

We will never stop fighting for you and your family, dearest Refaat. We will never forgive the perpetrators of this unimaginable cruelty. Your legacy is now our passion and we will surely bring back love, as you implored us to.
Breaking: We mourn with you the loss of Shaimaa, the eldest daughter of our dear friend Rafat Al-Araeer @itranslate123, and her husband, engineer Mohammed Abdel Aziz Siyam, along with their newborn baby, after their apartment near Al-Ramal Clinic in Gaza was targeted in an Israeli airstrike. Shaimaa joined her father Rafat in less than 5 months.

And now think of the 25,000 tons of explosives (equivalent to two nuclear bombs) used against buildings largely identified as targets by Artificial Intelligence, the unguided munitions (“dumb bombs”) and 2000-pound “bunker buster” bombs launched on densely populated areas and “safe zones”, during the first weeks of the Israeli assault on Gaza: 250 Palestinians were killed every day during this period. #StopTheGenocideInGaza
Israeli Ambassador to the UK: "Just imagine how things would have looked... this huge missile, think about it falling in the middle of a city like Jerusalem.. look how populated it is. Just think about it hitting neighbourhoods & people & children" Just imagine.

The most useless headline you’ll ever see. No information. No context. No guilty party. No victims. No journalism. Just a series of words.

So far this week, Israel has murdered aid workers distributing food, left Al-Shifa hospital in ruins, and bombed Iran's embassy in Damascus. It has done this despite pleas and demands for explanation from America, Britain etc. It is a rogue state.
Shadow minister Pat McFadden is clear - Israel is an ally, Labour aren't calling for a ban on arms sales to them, & if Labour win the next election they'll continue selling arms to them.

Warto uzupełnić ten wpis @MSZ_RP i podjąć działania @sikorskiradek: polski wolontariusz zginął podczas izraelskiego ostrzału, bo pomagał głodującym Palestyńczykom. Izrael utrudnia dotarcie pomocy. Za mur nie docierają leki, woda pitna i żywność. Ostrzeliwani są ludzie stojący w kolejkach po pomoc humanitarną. W strefie Gazy z głodu umierają codziennie ludzie, także małe dzieci.
Przekazujemy najszczersze wyrazy współczucia rodzinie 🇵🇱 wolontariusza, który niósł pomoc dla palestyńskiej ludności w Strefie Gazy. Polska nie zgadza się na brak przestrzegania międzynarodowego prawa humanitarnego i ochrony cywilów, w tym pracowników humanitarnych.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Mocno się ktoś nagimnastykował, by złożyć kondolencje i nie napisać, co się wolontariuszowi stało oraz kto odpowiada za jego śmierć i za te "potępiane" naruszenia prawa międzynarodowego.

If a single Jewish-Israeli child were pulled out from beneath a pile of rubble of what used to be her home & obliterated the rest of her family, not a single Western gov’t would not condemn it or try to blame “both sides”. Racism & colonialism explain this. They expect us to die.

Do you see the overtime work they do to clean up genocidal crimes? A massacre of the starving becomes a 'die in chaos' mystery. Only Palestinians are prone to these spontaneous mass deaths 'in chaos' with no named perpetrator or context. Beyond complicity.

Imagine deliberately starving a captive population & then massacring those who try to access aid Today at least 104 starving Palestinians have been killed & 760+ injured by Israeli forces backed by the US, UK, & other Western powers - absolutely no moral limits to their depravity
Dozens of Palestinians have been killed or wounded after being shot while waiting for aid in northern Gaza. At least one empty aid truck was used to transport casualties to a nearby hospital.

In Britain, support for continuing military action by Israel is just 13%, yet the position of both our main political parties is let the bloodshed continue. Our commentator class casts around desperately for ways to change the subject. Our national treasures are silent.

Absolutely merciless. And this genocidal horror is multiplied by thousands. 💔
BREAKING: 12 days after being missing following an Israeli shelling on her family car, the body of the six-year-old girl Hind Rajab, along with the bodies of five of her family members, have been found in the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City. Medical sources reported that the family of Hind found her body this morning and the bodies of those who were in the vehicle, which was surrounded by occupation tanks in the vicinity of the Finance Roundabout in the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood.

Imagine looking for somebody to do archival research on Gaza for UCL when Israel literally destroyed the Central Archive in Gaza last November without even a syllable of condemnation from UCL or any British university. This whole thing reeks of complicity in epistemicide.
Palestinians in Gaza are still being murdered by Israel, but academic extractivism could not wait. Please note that this internal advert for someone to work with Dr Anne Irfan does not mention what's happening in Gaza or the words 'Palestine' and 'Palestinians' even once.

I really dislike ethno-nationalist states, and particularly colonially implanted ethno-nationalist states. They are the ones who have a long history of racial hatred, of censoring and burning books, of discriminating and burning stores, and putting peoples in concentration

They are laughing in the face of the ICJ, completely drunk on impunity & genocidal racism.
An Israeli soldier films himself advertising his new barber shop in Gaza, holding a sign for it next to executed Palestinians on the ground.
