It is apocalyptic
The situation unfolding in northern #Gaza is apocalyptic. I join the @iascch leaders in urging, yet again, all parties fighting in Gaza to protect civilians, and call on #Israel to cease its assault on Gaza and on the humanitarians trying to help — there is no alternative to @UNRWA. Our full statement:

To know only of death And to love To know that there are no shrouds left And to love To keep watch with the dying To abide with the suffering To find the words even when the only word that does not fail Is love.

To be horrified daily To not become immune To have empathy To find words where we are silenced To find silence to mourn To weep To hold fast the reason To hold fast To hand fast reason through the flames

Replying to @ruth_wishart
I think most folk have no idea of how dangerous a moment in history we’re inhabiting Ruth. And I say that - as you and I know well - as children of the Cold War’s scariest moments. This is way more perilous a time.

I cannot believe people have been so utterly abandoned to complete systematic, annihalation when this could be stopped by willing leaders. Mercy.
We are literally living our final moments. O Allah, grant us a good end.

Black History Month in @UofGUnescoRILA team is too often about team members being invited to “Look Back and Be Angry” rather than life affirming work. At last minute a rush of diary invites (often unpaid) to come along for a month to be a “dancing bear” (not my words) Do better.

The situation is critical
Across Scotland tonight, artists were united in the same statements to audiences . Our Government has cut off the lifeline to freelancers. The situation is critical. Please support. campaignforthearts.org/petit… #NoArtWithoutArtists

Powerful speech by @gehan_macleod, co-founder of the @GalGael Trust, to celebrate 30 years since the Pollok Free State motorway protest in Glasgow. In so many ways, Gehan has inspired & sustained the GalGael since Colin’s passing in 2005 aged 39. See also youtu.be/ChcZchk0mok?si=2aIZ…

300 days From U.K. statement anyone would think that the death toll was all in Israel and on 1 day last year. This makes leaders look incompetent and frankly ridiculous. There is a 76 year history and a siege on Gaza since 2007 by the illegal occupiers, the apartheid state

Bless those who do not vote for genocide Who know trading arms is not the way Who love children everyday to be raised in peace and who know that the dignity of every human is inviolable Bless those who vote for a world of justice and generosity and peace

Kudos to #Spain for joining #SouthAfrica's genocide case against Israel at the @CIJ_ICJ. I hope this marks the beginning of more Western countries taking similar actions. It’s not too late to stand on the right side of history. Words of condemnation are meaningless without action. In fact, decades of mere words have allowed Israel to escalate its lawlessness towards the Palestinians into #genocide. xitter.cf/CIJ_ICJ/status/1807707…
PRESS RELEASE: #Spain filed in the #ICJ Registry a declaration of intervention in the case concerning Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (#SouthAfrica v. #Israel) bit.ly/3VPq1E6
