It's 2025 and I'm literally begging people for just $5 so I don't die of starvation - something we're being subjected to by Israhell.

It's heartbreaking that so many still don't feel our pain. I don't want to die hungry. I still have dreams.
I just want to live.

Every diaspora Palestinian I know has been living with survivor’s guilt for 655 days. Guilt & shame for every glass of water, every bite of food, every shower, every daily annoyance, every moment of joy, every booboo we can kiss better, every sleep in our own beds. Our people are being slaughtered.

The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood.

There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.

Virginia Commonwealth University is withholding the diploma of Sereen Haddad, a Palestinian American student, because of her activism.

β€œI, as a Palestinian student, have never felt welcomed or safe at Virginia Commonwealth University at all.”

β€˜Humanitarian city’ would be concentration camp for Palestinians, says former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert says forcing people into camp would be ethnic cleansing, and anger at Israel is not all down to antisemitism

Israel is planning a concentration camp.

That is an objective fact.

It shouldn't need this former Israeli prime minister, former member of Netanyahu's party, ally of war criminal Ariel Sharon to state this obvious fact.

Giving friends of the regime fake ranks and costumes (yes, costumes. They did nothing to earn a uniform. They are not soldiers) is classical fascism. They love the pageantry of nationalism and militarism while being insulated from the real horrors of war.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.Β 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

At the same time as Alex Deane was defending Israel on Sky Papers last night, the IDF was bombing a health clinic that had become a shelter for displaced families. They bombed it while the men, women & children inside were sleeping.

A spate of arrests today - under the statue of Gandhi - of people holding up placards. A priest in her 80s, academics, medical professionals…

Hard to believe the UK Government is led by a man who once worked as a human rights barrister.

Jewish journalist Antony Loewenstein is a leading voice speaking out against Israeli occupation and the ongoing war on Gaza. But some have branded him a traitor. Find out more about his story here: aje.io/NIMN

There are 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK.

Meanwhile, there are more British billionaires than ever before.

I think we should tax the rich to lift children out of poverty. Why is that such a radical idea?
