A tragedy like the Israeli strike on the World Central Kitchen aid convoy in Gaza must never happen again. Two years on, I pay tribute to the bravery of those staff. We continue to push Israel for justice for the families of John Chapman, James “Jim” Henderson and James Kirby.
This is an extraordinary and shocking decision and a huge set back for civil liberties Watch @ChrisNineham speaking outside the court after guilty verdict
“It's so grotesque, so grim”. “Israel once held itself up as the shining beacon of democracy in this draconian part of the world.” As it passes a death penalty law targeted at Palestinians, has Israel transformed beyond recognition? @maitlis @jonsopel @lewis_goodall
I disagree with the death penalty in principle. But the idea of a death penalty that only applies to people of one race is utterly abhorrent.
Was hoping this photo was not real. Sadly it is. This is the Deputy Speaker of the Knesset dressed up as "Death Penalty", holding a hanging noose. Her settler husband is holding a prop gun labeled "Occupation," an airplane labeled "Expulsion," and a house labeled "Settlement."
