More than 10,800 Palestinians are currently held in Israeli prisons under what rights groups describe as grave and inhumane conditions. A significant number are held without charge or trial.

Uk academics and teachers - just take this in. And huge respect to everyone who has worked to sustain education in the emergency and provide access and lecturing through this devastation.

Israel has systematically targeted Gaza’s already compromised water infrastructure since October 2023, striking wells, pipelines, desalination plants and sewage systems.

When the Israeli- and US-backed GHF took over aid on May 27 outside the UN, over 2,600 Palestinians were killed and 19,000 injured by fire from Israeli soldiers and GHF security while collecting food.

Israel is responsible for forced hunger in Gaza through months of blocked aid and a deadly distribution system where people are shot almost daily while trying to collect food.

At least 1,722 health and aid workers have been killed in Israeli air attacks on hospitals and continued bombardment of Gaza.

More than 169,000 Palestinians have been injured from Israeli attacks across Gaza, many with life-altering wounds.

Two years of Israel's deadly air and ground assault have killed at least 67,000 Palestinians.

The true number is unknown and is likely much higher because the official death toll does not include those who perished under rubble or are missing.

Follow the money. Always follow the money.

There is nothing good about long term use of temporary accommodation aimed at short stays for people in the process of resettlement and integration from day one, which is a core principle in Scotland, requires normal, community housing. Not-for-profit.

Every shop I enter, every casual encounter people are bursting with exactly this energy. You can’t get your teeth checked, eyes tested or buy a pint of milk without revolution spilling out in incredulous incandescent unguarded rage at the leaders who enable genocide with impunity

Prominent Scottish Jews issue plea over reaction to Manchester attack As Jews we absolutely reject the weaponisation of the Manchester attack to suppress protests against the genocide in Gaza

As Jews we beg you: do not let the Manchester attack be weaponised

I was humbled to be invited to sign this letter as a strong ally of the Scottish Universities Jewish Staff Network and thank all colleagues here for their tireless commitment to peace

Read more from HRW:

Peace plans cannot solely be relied on to address grave abuses in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. 30+ years of escalating repression of Palestinians as "peace processes" played out made that clear.

Trump's plan is no substitute for urgent action in Gaza.
