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.

A judge gets pulled from the Palestine Action judicial review at the last minute, and the Ministry of Defence refuses to explain why. The three replacement judges include a former government lawyer and a judge who previously ruled in favour of allowing F-35 components to be sent

Unless someone can explain otherwise, this stinks of a fix.

Almost 400,000 Palestinians live in Jerusalem. Since 1967, they have no legal status and no legal right or representation. They are forbidden from voting for the Israeli parliament, and are citizens of no country. They live under extremely violent and repressive occupation - and
“I don’t want to see anyone here in 5 minutes” 🚨Breaking: The Israeli intelligence forces stormed the Hakawati Theatre in occupied Jerusalem and shut down a Palestinian children’s performance — a brazen act of intimidation meant to silence even the smallest Palestinian voices.

The Judge in the Palestine Action legal challenge has been removed, and replaced by 3 others. Two of them appear to have conflicts of interests, including Judge Victoria Sharp who has family connections to pro-Israel lobbyist Trevor Chinn. Chinn funded both Conservative and

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.

🇮🇱: "All you have to do is just release the hostages and we'll stop." They released them. But Israel did not stop bombing Gaza. Israel did not stop K!LLING children. Why are you quiet now?

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.
🔴 MUST WATCH 😳 Drone footage of southern Gaza captured by AP.👇🏼 How can the world continue to sugar coat what this actually is? 🤯

Add to the list of war crimes. How are those cases going in the ICC? And ICJ? Or have we just decided to abandon international law in this glorious brave new world?

Israel is the most genocidal country on earth
Wow, X actually disabled its feature to translate posts from Hebrew because so many posts in the language were violent and hateful and making the world realize how sick Israel’s society is (not everyone in Israel of course; just 82 percent who are pro-ethnic cleansing/genocide)

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.
This FATHER and his CHILDREN woke up in a tent completely FLOODED by the RAIN This tore my heart in half.
