It is with grave concern that we announce the arrest of our colleague, investigative reporter Latifa Abouchakra, by UK police earlier today. Initial reports indicate that @latifabouchakra's detention is part of a wider police action targeting pro-Palestine advocacy.

This is not normal.
Israel has returned dozens of Palestinian bodies and human remains to Gaza without providing any information about their identities or how they were killed, according to Palestinian medical officials https://t.co/qaMLVrfOTX

The fact that Jeff Bezos is not paying for this is astoundingly offensive.

Spoke to @guardian about apartheid and how the idea of a democratic Israel is premised on a lie: the lie that the settlements and the millions of occupied Palestinians deprived of civil rights exist not within the state but "outside" it. 🙏 @aamnamohdin

In Beit Imrin, settlers have been blocking the road, uprooting olive trees, attacking homes in the village, and preventing residents from extending water lines. At some point , the US charities financing these have to be dismantled.

Netanyahu just keeps killing Palestinian children without restraint. There is no ceasefire for the families of these victims. The UK government cannot remain silent whilst these war crimes continue.

I am now at Al-Shifa Hospital. The situation is beyond catastrophic. The dead are lying on the floors, and there are hundreds of wounded, with no resources, no time, and no safety. Most of the victims are women and children. We are being annihilated in front of the world’s eyes.

For the 3rd time in 3 months, Israel permits the burning of Palestinian houses in Mikhmas, West Bank by its child soldiers. No prosecutions, no accountability and 100% state responsibility. Now it’s on the international community to hold Israel responsible for its policy.

Full-on ethnic cleansing. Calculated and persistent. Settler terror aims to erase Palestinians between the river and the sea, and it's backed by the state of Israel.
Over the weekend, the last residents of Ras Ein Al-Auja packed their belongings and fled their homes due to Israeli state-backed settler violence. @OrenZiv_ reported on the calculated erasure of the last Palestinian village in the southern Jordan Valley.

The horrific casually numbers in Iran continue to rise...
A bloody crime scene of the Islamic regime, and the story of one victim among many. In Iran, Tehranpars, bodies were piled without names, without dignity, as families searched in horror for their loved ones. This is not rumor. This is not statistics. This is evidence of a
