The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) โญ 8.8 | Drama 1h 29m

m.imdb.com/title/tt3694...

Saw the Voice of Hind Rajab last night. A very powerful docudrama that stunned and angered the audience at the British Film Institute UK premiere. The inhumanity of the IDF; their sheer brutality makes you despise them.

It is good to see a politician speaking directly about immigration and the diversity it brings as positive things.

As solidarity with Palestine grows, thousands of film workers pledge to end complicity with genocide Despite repression and retaliation, the Gaza genocide has pushed an unprecedented wave of artists across the entertainment industry to back the cultural boycott of Israel.

And as you know this doesn't happen to anything like the extent in London. The law is stronger and there is more enforcement here. Drivers drive better ( still room for improvement ) and park much more often legally. So getting control of Brum's dire situation is doable.

Palestinian statehood is a right, not a diplomatic pawn By threatening to recognise Palestine unless Israel complies with British demands, the prime minister reduces a right to a bargaining chip and fails to apply real pressure to halt genocide

UK could raise nearly ยฃ2bn by taxing SUVs in line with European countries, study shows Thinktank says an โ€˜SUV loopholeโ€™ means UK buyers pay up to 20 times less tax on biggest models than in neighbouring nations

Undertaxing large and dangerous cars, such as so-called SUVs, exposes the public to harm and loses the Government around ยฃ2 billion in tax, says transport consultant @transportenvironment.org

Generally it is not a problem in London as it has been banned since the 1970s. It is shocking it was only banned in London.

Iโ€™m now living through the worst moments any human being could experience on the face of this earth. In the Al-Sabra neighborhood, near the Al-Zeitoun area, the military vehicles are approaching โ€” no more than half a kilometer away.  

The sound of tank tracks pierces through my chest. Gunfire hasnโ€™t stopped for an entire hour. Helicopters are flying above us at a lower altitude than usual, while quadcopters are firing bullets randomly. Every five minutes, three shells fall in succession.  

What is this madness? What is this madness!  

We can see our souls leaving our mouths. Fear has overtaken me โ€” so completely that it could terrify fear itself.  

Why all of this?

The naive assumption being that time spent travelling is wasted and leads to people not working as much as they could. There is so much wrong with this.

Why the increased percentage for buses? Is this just reflecting the overall fall in NOx and only a slight fall in bus emissions?

In Israel, โ€˜animals in human formโ€™ may be killed Polls consistently show that Jewish Israelis view Palestinians as less than human. This deep-seated racism is rooted in the Zionist colonial project and helps explain the broad support for the Gaza genocide.

Israel have bombed another hospital. Waited for medics to arrive - and then bombed again.

Britain keeps selling arms to this genocidal regime.

Starmer & Lammy say they're "horrified". They condemn. But they do nothing.

All the war criminals must face justice.
