First come the bombs. A boom, then 2,000lb worth of destructive force flattening everything in its way. Severing limbs, vaporizing bodies, leaving craters full of blood and rubble where children used to play.
Then come the drones. As the dust settles, the drones start to swarm, picking off any survivors. Armed quadcopters; ingeniously engineered killing machines hunting for human prey. The drones, many of which seem to be autonomous, shoot everything that moves. Even if it’s a helpless child, the drone will sometimes shoot: firing lethal bullets into a soft skull. A scene straight out of a dystopian sci-fi movie set on some desolate dust-covered planet. Except it’s not sci-fi; it’s reality. It’s happening right now in Gaza.

Transgender people turning to DIY-healthcare due to lack of trust in National Gender Service
The Journal Investigates heard from transgender people pushed into accessing healthcare outside the official channels
Many transgender people told our team they are being forced to pursue gender-affirming healthcare outside of the official channels due to serious issues with the National Gender Service
Self-medicating like this is known in the trans community as DIY HRT

An image that should haunt and shame us all. A Palestinian mother trying, against all odds, to protect her children as hell rains down on them from Western-backed Israeli terrorism.

🚨 1.5 years of war in #Gaza
🚨 At least 51,000 Palestinians reportedly killed
🚨 1.9 million people forcibly displaced
🚨 Nearly 7 weeks of siege
We call for a renewal of the #CeasefireNow, a dignified release of all the hostages, and an unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid and commercial supplies.

Make no mistake, legal gender recognition is a human right.
We all have the right to live free from discrimination and fear. Trans rights are human rights.

@GreenpeaceUK head arrested on conspiracy for peaceful protest
We know US-supplied weapons to Israel are fuelling the genocide in Gaza
Use of conspiracy charges is increasing, restricting our human right to peaceful protest

A tweet from the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) (@pchrgaza) with the following text: 'Breaking: PCHR staff member, Ihab Fisal, was killed along with his wife and two children by an Israeli airstrike on a house in Gaza city in the early hours of the morning. More details to follow in our press release.' Below the text is a photo of Ihab Fisal. He is wearing a bright green polo shirt, standing outdoors with greenery and palm trees in the background, looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression.
What a waste of the life and work of #HRD Ihab Faisal, killed today after ceasefire announcement. I condemn his killing. The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights is such a reputable organisation.

Exclusive: Met to be handed dossier of evidence alleging crimes including killings of civilians and aid workers
Important move by Public Interest Law Centre & the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, submitting evidence to the Met’s War Crimes unit against 10 British nationals over alleged war crimes in Gaza — from killing civilians & aid workers to attacks on hospitals.
We must prosecute war criminals.

Graphic featuring an image of Prime Minister Netanyahu with text saying 'WARNING: State Parties Are Legally Obliged To Enforce ICC Arrest Warrants'
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s visit to Hungary should be seen as a cynical effort to undermine the ICC and its work.
Leaders like Netanyahu, accused by the ICC of war crimes and crimes against humanity, must no longer enjoy the prospect of perpetual impunity: http://amn.st/63320FkFde

Release Mahmoud Khalil!
Urge US authorities to free arbitrarily detained Mahmoud Khalil and respect freedom of speech!
As a lawful permanent US resident, Mahmoud protested the genocide in Gaza.
As he was walking home from an Iftar celebration with his 8-months pregnant wife, he was unlawfully arrested & detained. He has not been charged with a crime.
Demand his release!

within 24 hours Israel forcibly disappeared a Palestinian filmmaker in the West Bank
and killed two Palestinian journalists in Gaza
Hamdan Ballal was forcibly disappeared by Israeli soldiers after having been assaulted by Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians in Susyia, a village in the occupied West Bank. He has now been released, but those who carried out the attacks must be held accountable.
