On a personal note tomorrow is an exciting day. Sublime @Usborne are publishing this. It's been five years of deep emotional pleasure as I excavated my family's history and retold it as a fantasy trilogy that I hope can resonate for everyone. #Freedom. https://t.co/diVP1RQI7z

Israel made sure to block all temporary shelters from coming into Gaza, after making sure to destroy every conceivable permanent shelter in Gaza. This has nothing to do with Hamas and nothing to do with October 7. There a no reason to deny children shelter aside from pure sadism.

Childhood under #GENOCIDE. Palestinian Children endured 3 year of genocide, famine and unspeakable savagery. They lie on wet ground, covering their emaciated bodies with plastic bags, under heavy rain & flooding…because Israel forbids temporary housing units, blankets and food.

To repeat; Robbie Gibb stopped our access to politicians @Channel4News when we covered Windrush a story he thought "no one gives a shit about"; he has meddled repeatedly in editorial matters from the board; & am told he meddled to ensure our Gaza film did not run.

The Guardian are reporting a significant increase in Jewish people voting for the Green Party. It's almost like many of us grew up learning a history of persecution & violence. We don't oppose the Genocide in spite of being Jewish but because of it. Never again for everyone.

No ceasefire. No meaningful aid. No journalists allowed in. The genocide continues by other means. And everyone is guilty because it’s happening with everyone’s knowledge.

The situation in Gaza is beyond words as the first low-pressure front is taking a very heavy toll on the population. Israel keeps blocking caravans and makeshift tents from getting into Gaza, perpetuating the living conditions for the Palestinians.
