While I look at this photograph (Anadolu/Getty Images), taken the day before yesterday, of displaced Palestinian children cooling off due to the stifling heat in the tents they live in in Gaza City, I'm reminded of something a Palestinian-Lebanese friend told me recently: 1/3

Killing children. Starvation as a weapon of war. Targeting aid workers. These are all RED LINES. Many more have been crossed by Israel. As the UK gvmt breaks for summer, we demand it takes action to end its complicity in these atrocities in #Gaza https://t.co/443luT5rHX 📸 Andy

One of my most important lessons from Malcolm X is to 'make it plain'. I'm a 'recovering academic' because it takes years to undo the damage that training in the university does to us. #NobodyCanGiveYouFreedom

I completely missed that Inua Ellams wrote an episode for Doctor Who. I just watched the episode and my goodness, my fave episode ever! It’s so beautiful, so nuanced, so true! Anyone read a more articulate review, please send my way! Read his process here.

The UK govt is absolutely complicit in the genocide of Palestinians, it has financed and provided weapons to kill civilians. Note that suspending 'trade talks' is meaningless, because our taxes ARE still actively funding this genocide.

It’s hard to overstate how extraordinary this is. Aid organization trucks are all lined up and ready to enter and Israel has not allowed them into Gaza for ~75 days. There is no way to describe this as anything other than the active, intentional, planned starvation of a people.

Enough. We demand rapid, safe, and unimpeded access to starving civilians in Gaza. We have a plan. We have thousands of trucks of food at the border. Let us in. Let us work. https://t.co/J55f8shIEU
