The naked, brazen Islamophobia on display here is a direct result here of the country's leadership not to tackle this extremism. Having Ramadan lights is perfectly fine and yes Menorahs, have been lit up on our streets. Diwali celebrations too.

If Israel has suddenly found this great commitment to international law, it has to implement in full the ICJ provisional measures -now. It also has to dismantle all settlements in the West Bank and Golan Heights. It has to stop torture. It has to stop imprisoning Palestinians

A disgraceful argument. In fact there has been very little footage out of Gaza because the Israeli army won't allow journalists in. This is a clear desire to intimidate the media from showing what is possibly, acc to the ICJ, a genocide

Deeply concerned about the prospect of a military offensive in Rafah – over half of Gaza’s population are sheltering in the area. The priority must be an immediate pause in the fighting to get aid in and hostages out, then progress towards a sustainable, permanent ceasefire.
