Would his own mother be proud of him?
How would you react if you witnessed an occupying soldier brutally kicking your mother?

My medical licence was suspended in November 2025. For 15 months. As a result of my advocacy for Palestine. At the behest of the UK pro-'israel' and zionist jewish lobby. Today, I had my second six-monthly review with the @gmcuk and @the_mpts. For my submission, covering any updates since the last review in May 2026, I told the panel: - 4,797 Palestinians have since been murdered by the jewish occupation in Gaza. 1,490 of them were children. That is 31%. - Bombing and massacres occur daily. - Palestinians continue to be held hostage, kidnapped, and tortured. - 'israel' continues with impunity, without justice for the Palestinians or the British citizens they massacred. The GMC counsel described me as 'unrepentant' in my social media activity, giving this as one reason to continue my suspension. I affirmed that I am indeed unrepentant in speaking out against the genocide and the system of supremacy that the UK government continues to fund and arm. That is anchored in my belief in the sanctity of life and the belief that God created all humans equally. The suspension continues, of course. The GMC will have to apply to the High Court in February if they want to extend it further. I miss my job and career. I miss practising medicine, caring for patients and the British people. My words, spoken or shared, were against their crimes. Their barbarity. To be unrepentant in this is my duty as a human, a Muslim, and a doctor. Free Palestine and Britain from zionism 🇵🇸🇬🇧

Palestinian children scream and cry as Israeli settlers brutally beat their father before their eyes, leaving them terrified and helpless.

A video that Netanyahu does not want the world to see Let the world know by sharing this Tens of thousands of anti-Zionist rabbis and Jews gathered in the Barclays Center in New York City to say that the Zionist regime is a criminal and occupying gang and does not represent the Jews.

This is NOT a human being.
Este sionista Israelíe obligó a un niño de 14 años a tomar gasolina, y luego lo quemó vivo. Si hay gente que no es humana son los sionistas Israelíes.

Irish author Sally Rooney’s books are no longer being distributed in the UK after she pledged royalties to #Palestine Action, banned under UK terrorism laws. How is standing up for innocent Palestinians being treated as support for terrorism?😔 Rogers Garner Pickford Tarkowski

64 YEARS OLD. WEARING A VEST MARKED PRESS. KICKED ABOUT 50 TIMES. Heidi Levine, Washington Post photojournalist, covering the olive harvest near Abu Falah. "They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times." Broken rib. Lacerations. A hand injury needing surgery. Her cameras and phone taken. The Washington Post says it's "outraged by this unwarranted attack on a journalist doing her job." Nothing here needs explaining away. She was marked as press, on the ground, and they kept going. 🧭

Finally, clear, unequivocal, irrefutable, and credible proof that Israel shoots children in Gaza. Impossible to deny. Pure evil.

A majority of the 635 children held in Israeli prisons in 2025 were put in solitary confinement, usually for between one and two weeks – some up to eight times. 92 per cent of those children had not been sentenced. A third had not even been charged with an offence. The world's highest court says Israel is an apartheid state. Its decades-long occupation is illegal.

The evidence has existed for a long time and has been repeatedly ignored by the U.K. and other governments and media. It now needs to be tested with Netanyahu appearing at the ICC.
In a disturbing development, on Oct 14th, the former head of Israel's Shin Bet, Ronan Bar, filed a law suit against Netanyahu, alleging the latter had received no less than twenty warnings of the precise character and of the approximate date of the Hamas attack. Formerly, nine warnings were cited in YNet, Ha'aretz and Maariv. It has now become increasingly unreasonable not to suppose that Netanyahu was a complicit actor in the Hamas attack, an organisation he had funded, directly and indirectly, for almost twenty years, and about which he possessed precise internal intelligence. Thus Netanyahu could not only have prevented the attack, but now appears to have been proactively enabling the attack, to manufacture a pretext to ethnically cleanse Gaza, while simultaneously using the attack to disrupt charges supported by three hundred witnesses that Netanyahu had presided over a twenty year reign of corruption, gangster-like coercion, malfeasance and repeated breaches of international law.

This was once Gaza, Israel have bulldozed everything then they will bury the rubble and hundreds of thousands of bodies under millions of tons of sands. Then build on top of it. Israel new settlements will literally be built on Genocide. It's like Hitler building on Auschwitz.

Thames Water is due to run out of money (again) over the next few weeks. A year and a half ago it was given a £3 billion bailout now it's asking for another £2.4 billion. We really are being taken for mugs. theguardian.com/business/202…

The violations in the West Bank do not stop from north to south. Israeli occupation bulldozers are uprooting thousands of olive trees, destroying Palestinian land, livelihoods, and generations of history. 🇵🇸

Why does the world indulge Israel’s genocide and routine mass torture? It MUST be held to account or the world is going to hell.
8 billion people around the world witnessed Israel do this… AND YET THE CULPRITS STILL ENJOY THE FREEDOM TO TRAVEL ACROSS THE WORLD WITH IMPUNITY.
