In Gaza, we’ve resorted to drinking salty water just to keep ourselves from fainting We drink salt and water to stay standing, to keep ourselves from going dizzy and collapsing. This is what we’ve come to in Gaza, where most people will go without food for three days at a time.

The documentary that the BBC refused to air showing the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities was broadcast by Channel 4 last night.

Amnesty International researcher, Budour Hassan, explains the use of secret sites by the Israeli authorities.

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid
IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.

Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.

Edward Heath blocked US use of UK bases to defend Israel in 1973.

Harold Wilson resisted US pressure to send troops to Vietnam.

From the ’50s to early 2000s, the UK imposed full arms embargoes on Israel for breaking international law.

We can choose not to be America’s poodle.

Illnesses that were manageable before the war are turning deadly amid "catastrophic levels" of food insecurity in Gaza, and 19 months of genocide have now led to the spread of new diseases, reaching record numbers.

A headline from The Guardian reads: β€œFund for nature-friendly farming to be slashed in UK spending review.” Below it, a line of bright green tractors ploughs wide, bare furrows into a large field. The image underscores the scale of UK farming and the warning that vital support for restoring nature is about to be cut.

The warning couldn’t be clearer. ⚠️

Slashing the nature-friendly farming budget would be catastrophic for the nature and climate crisis, and for our long-term food security.

What's more, it would leave the UK Government’s credibility on climate and nature in tatters.

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza.

Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians.

Stop arming genocide, now.

Israel is creating a power vacuum in Gaza by backing armed looters β€” and killing anyone who tries to stop them Testimonies collected by Mondoweiss reveal Israel’s role in supporting armed gangs looting aid supplies and sowing chaos in Gaza. This has been part of a campaign to destroy Gaza’s civil government…

Growing reports show that Israel has been fomenting armed gangs to loot food supplies in Gaza and sow chaos β€” and it's killing those who attempt to stop it. But this strategy isn't new: Israel has waged a war on Gaza's civil government from the start.

Speaking as a Briton, this is truly shameful. Years of hate from #Conservative and #Labour governments has dragged the UK down to only 22nd of European countries on LGBTQ+ rights. Just look at us compared to our neighbours in northwestern Europe. #homophobia #transphobia #biphobia #queerphobia

I’ve joined 41 MPs demanding that David Lammy comes clean over damning allegations that UK arms exports to Israel continued despite a supposed suspension.

If true, it would be a grave breach of the Ministerial Code β€” & raises urgent questions about whether Parliament was misled.

The Health Ministry has released a devastating 1,516-page record listing the names of over 50,000 Palestinians killed since Oct 7, 2023. Among them, 474 pages contain the names of more than 15,600 childrenβ€”with the first 27 pages listing only infants under one year old.

🧡 Israel has resumed its genocide in Gaza.

After weeks of systematically violating ceasefire agreements, Israel launched massive airstrikes across Gaza overnight, targeting homes, hospitals, and shelters for displaced civilians.

For 12 days and counting, Israel has not allowed a single humanitarian aid truck to enter Gaza. No food. No water. No fuel.

Join us on Saturday to demand an end to ethnic cleansing β€” and show that we will never waver in our support for the people of Palestine.
