I am gravely concerned by the Government’s ongoing position on the hunger strike. Since I raised the 8 prisoners’ plight in Parliament yesterday, the Government said they ‘do not treat prisoners any differently from any other’. If that is the case, why are they being held on

Israel wiped Gaza from the face of the earth. They could only do this because the West facilitated it from start to end. But there will be a reckoning. And those who did this will pay for what they did. https://t.co/bq01NOcdkr

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese once again nails it: •It is not a ‘war’, there are not two armies; •This is a settler, colonial occupation; •It is a genocide and needs to end now. Stop arming Israel 🇮🇱 today Recognise Palestine 🇵🇸 before it’s too late.

Look at the totality of Israel's conduct, in the totality of the land it unlawfully occupies, against the totality of the Palestinian people living there. And when you see how children, in particular, are targeted in so many depraved ways - through killing, maiming, starving,

“Empathy is the glue that makes us stand united in humanity. If you don’t act for the Palestinians you will become irrelevant to the world. The only way to comply with international law is imposing sanctions against Israel. May this be the last genocide in human history.”
