Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

I’m a British MP, a doctor and Jewish. This is what happened when I tried to enter Israel | Peter Prinsley Barred from entry on β€˜public security’ grounds, I had a moment to reflect on how far the country has fallen, says British MP Peter Prinsley

"Earlier this week, I was denied entry into Israel while on a humanitarian parliamentary delegation..."

...says a Jewish MP who has been to Israel many times.

Israel is no friend of the UK nor any humanitarian principle.

The U.N. Expert on Palestine Who Captured the World’s Attention AIPAC ​h​ates her. Social media loves her. Amid a bitter​ war, Francesca Albanese became an unlikely star.

β€œThis is the time,” she added, β€œto give the U.S. what it has been looking for: isolation.”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Video shows an Israeli drone killing a Palestinian carrying flour in Gaza City. The UN says food sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, where 600 were killed, are 'an abomination' and 'a death trap.'

A Texas boy needed protection from measles. The vaccine cost $1,400. Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated. The cost of the shot? $1,400.

The Grenfell documentary is so deeply sad and anger provoking. The worst happened and still, no accountability, no change. What would it take to start holding these companies to account, for them to be held criminally responsible and stopped from causing future tragedies due to their greed?!

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.

β€œOnly very sick kids should die from measles.”

No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.

Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!
