WEST BANK: A 16-year-old Palestinian girl was shot and killed by an Israeli sniper in Jenin. Lujain Musleh’s father says she was shot through the forehead while looking out of the window of their home. No other country on earth can get away with this level of barbarity.

The most terrifying summer on record for survivors of torture in the UK. One man was brutally attacked on his way to therapy with us. Other clients were racially abused on the streets - including a family with children. Many are still too scared to attend in-person therapy.

Israeli journalist Gideon Levy describes the conditions in which 61-year-old Palestinian MP Khalida Jarrar is being held by Israel. She is in total isolation. She has been accused of no crime since she was arrested a year ago. 'Her cell has no windows. There is no air, no fan,

Awful polling by an actual polling company, unsure how any of their work can be trusted @wethinkpolling after this. constructing questions around "the refugee problem" is always going to skew the results. But sure, totally worth it for the tweets...

“Israel is genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one ‘safe zone’ at the time. With US and EU weapons. And amid the indifference of all ‘civilized nations’.” —UN Special Rapporteur

My last 6 "follows" on @X are clearly all from bots. Each is a woman following thousands of accounts with few followers themselves. Usually one post that appears to be AI generated & nonsensical. Bots have always been an issue, but this place now appears to be sustained by them

Silence is over… Please share rather than like as my account is heavily censored. We are excited to announce that the @gazafreedomflotilla boat "Handala", is expected to reach Malta in coming hours. From here, "Handala"' will sail towards Gaza as part of their ongoing effort

I am so angry 😡 I can’t take my granddaughter (who is Scottish & black) to a birthday party because it’s too dangerous out there and her parents are so very scared. These are the ordinary consequences of decades of appeasing racists and implementing racist policies.

This is absolutely incredible. It was reported that Starmer did a deal with the Murdoch empire not to complete the Leveson inquiry in exchange for an endorsement. The brilliant @AdamBienkov asked Labour spokespeople. They refused to deny it. https://t.co/H731K7RdeZ

I have been informed by the Chief Whip & the Labour Party leadership that the whip has been withdrawn from me for voting to scrap the two-child benefit cap, which would lift 330,000 children out of poverty. I will always stand up for the most vulnerable in our society.
