Our Al Jazeera Investigative Unit film GAZA was released precisely a year ago. It is absolutely unbelievable that a year on we continue to witness the same scenes. https://t.co/2GIkz5BTqp

This afternoon I visited Qesser Zuhrah, a 20-year-old on hunger strike for Palestine at HMP Bronzefield. She’s on day 37 — her health is seriously deteriorating, yet she continues to show extraordinary resolve. Qesser and 7 others are part of the largest coordinated hunger

This is an extract from the BBC’s new antisemitism training course that has been passed to me. It epitomises the problem the BBC, and much of the British establishment, has in confronting the issue of Israel. Essentially – you are allowed to criticise Israeli policies, you are

Strange @guardian piece taking stock on anniversary of Syrian revolution that neglects to mention a large chunk of the country is occupied by the Israelis who are clearly pursuing a policy of effectively neutering Syria as an independent nation. https://t.co/N3oLD8TpSI

While country’s return to global stage has filled many Syrians with pride, domestically old grievances threaten efforts to rebuild the state

It ought to be an international scandal that the United States has sanctioned the UN special rapporteur, stripped her of bank accounts. Same with ICC. In order to defend Israeli atrocities in Gaza the US (aided by Britain) is trashing all legal and moral international norms.
I stand with Francesca Albanese. No one should be punished for reporting the truth. Silencing her doesn’t change the reality; it only exposes the pressure to hide it.

It is absolutely shocking that @MelanieLatest continues to be platformed by mainstream media.
Melanie Phillips being allowed to spout lies about the BDS movement. Phillips is right about one thing though, the aim is to turn Israel into a pariah state internationally (just like apartheid South Africa was). And it will happen.

Today, my friend and his family were in their tent, far away from the designated "red zone" marked by the army. They posed no threat just trying to survive. Suddenly, without any warning, tanks advanced toward them and began firing randomly and wildly. An elderly woman over 75

I'm deeply concerned for the health and safety of the brave anti-genocide political prisoners on hunger strike across the UK. I call on the UK government to act to ensure their wellbeing and to meet their basic, moral demands. https://t.co/Rio2h2eT6R

"How can you possibly say the ceasefire is holding. The Israelis have killed over 300 Palestinians ... Do they simply not count? Are they not people?" My thanks to @RachelSJohnson for having me on her LBC show to discuss the boycott of Eurovision.

Our show @AJFaultLines has made 6 documentaries about Gaza. The talented cinematographer @DOPHussien worked on them. Two years ago today, an Israeli soldier killed his 4-year-old daughter, Salma. If you read anything today, please read his devastating words about losing her.

🔥BREAKING! What Israeli forces are doing to 66 yo Marwan Barghouti (a symbol of unity) -accounts speak of torture, sever beating, broken ribs and teeth- reveals a depraved mindset and system, brutalising defenseless individuals as a way to break the spirit of an entire people.
BREAKING: Israeli jailers are torturing, smashing the teeth, attacking the body, of Marwan Barghouti - the Palestinian Nelson Mandela, the leader who can lead Palestinians and Israelis to a Just Peace (watch the video by Knesset member Ofer Cassif). Free Marwan Now! #FreeMarwan

I am gravely concerned about the safety and well-being of the six prisoners on hunger strike. The lack of media coverage over this emergency is truly shocking. Ask your MP to sign the EDM, demanding urgent action from the Justice Secretary, here: https://t.co/el6sodKCiG

Why are the men who run the world now all just so profoundly strange?
Palantir CEO Alex Karp on defending Israel 🔮🇮🇱 “Most of the critiques of Israel, not all, are people who have Israel or Jewish derangement syndrome. They’re like hobbyists. They think about Jews all day. I grew up in the Jewish community, I don’t think about Jews very often.”
