Blown away by not only the unbelievable talent of @Hozier tonight, but also speaking out for what is right, and so eloquently too. Calling for a ceasefire and an end to occupation of Palestine. Others in positions of power and influence should take note. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

As a British Jew, I'm deeply concerned about the cynical blurring of Zionism & Judaism. Whatever our political differences, Jewish people must never face prejudice or discrimination. So after the Labour Government apologised over Gaza: why are they still arming Israel?
As a British Jew, I am deeply concerned by the Green Party's vote to declare Zionism racism. Whatever our political differences, Jewish people must never face prejudice or discrimination. Yesterday, I raised these concerns in Parliament and asked how Jewish communities can be reassured. I welcome the Home Secretary's clear response: every council, regardless of political control, must uphold equality law and protect its residents from discrimination.

This is why it is not a "conflict". No part of Israel looks like this.
Google Maps alone cannot show you the full scale of the destruction in Gaza. I took this video a short while ago in Gaza City.

“They accuse England. Tiny little England. Of colonizing India”
Netanyahu: Yet, they accuse Israel, tiny Israel of colonialism. Some colonialism. And who's accusing us? Well, among them are people in Britain and in France. For god's sakes, they invented the term. Give us a break. Another lie.

This boy, who received a slap on the wrist and avoided juvenile detention, is the same age that Shamima Begum was when she was groomed online, and subsequently had her citizenship taken away. Just saying!
‘I don’t know where to begin…’ Shelagh Fogarty reacts to the sentencing of a 14-year-old boy who stabbed a girl multiple times after she rejected his advances.

Normalize not committing a genocide.
Normalize saying “I don’t know enough about this.”

It's hard not to be utterly enraged by this. They stood by while Israel slaughtered more than 20,000 innocent Palestinian children. They did more than stand by. They were a part of it. They supported the genocide materially and diplomatically, defending it at every step. They, like all of us, saw constant footage of kids blown to pieces, decapitated, shot in the head. They saw Hind Rajab, killed in a merciless barrage of Israeli bullets. They saw Reem Nabhan, "soul of my soul" to her smitten grandfather Khaled. They saw five-year-old Saly Abu Maamar, her tiny body wrapped in a shroud and cradled by her aunt. They saw 17-day-old al-Amira Aisham, known to her already devoted family as "Princess Aisha". They saw Nour Abu al-Qumssan, who lay dead under the rubble as her desperate father Abu al-Qumssan called out her name over and over again. And it didn't stop them. The gall. The utter gall.

Remember you cannot say you want freedom for this kid. That would be antisemitism and you might hurt the feelings of a billionaire Jews in the USA.
🚨HORRIBLE: A child walks alone through the rubble, carrying his schoolbag as Israeli tank fire and aircraft strike nearby in Gaza. He crosses hundreds of meters of destroyed homes, exposed to the immediate danger of being killed, just to reach his classroom. This is a child’s reality in Gaza‼️

Andy Burnham apologised for the UK’s initial response to Gaza and promised “change”. He must now explain to the public what this flight from a British Airbase to Israel was for.
.@AndyBurnham sends his first UK military plane to Israel since becoming PM This A400M flew from RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus to Tel Aviv on Wednesday. It stopped in Israel for an hour before returning to base The A400M can carry a payload of 81,600 lbs or 116 fully equipped soldiers

"Ben-Gvir's statements do not reflect the policy of the State of Israel." He's the national security minister!!!
AJC vehemently rejects the continued inflammatory statements made by Itamar Ben-Gvir. His calls for Jewish settlement in Gaza and the so-called "voluntary emigration" of Palestinians are irresponsible and disconnected from reality. Ben-Gvir's statements do not reflect the policy of the State of Israel and should be condemned by all who care about Israel's future.

The full quote is even more disgusting: “I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat – there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people.”

wait, you're telling me the man who wants to wipe out an entire population rejects a plan to stop killing? well I never.
BREAKING: Netanyahu has rejected the 15-point-plan for a ceasefire in Gaza, proposed by Donald Trump's Board of Peace. The Israeli PM has insisted Israel will not make any withdrawal from Gaza until Hamas fully disarms. trib.al/2ZLAm4T 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602

One thing I can’t stand about the British is how they’ll act as if people who are objectively less fortunate as them are lucky for benefiting from welfare and these other schemes If they’re so lucky, would you swap your life for theirs? I highly doubt that
So let me get this straight, my lad has struggled to get an apprenticeship since leaving school, wants to do one and is not interested in full time college, but he's apparently less important than a single parents kid because both me and his mom work

This is the most sadistic thing I’ve ever heard
⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.
