@Abdullah_Om3r03 Hi!

I feel depressed and suicidal today - if you see this please say hi it makes massive difference.💔😭

We are all Palestine Action. 🇵🇸

The UK has just deployed the “magic word” tactic to silence @Pal_action by calling it “terrorist.” This is as absurd as it is outrageous. Who is the monster? The government that supports a genocide and silences its critics, or the civil society movement that uses protest, civil disobedience, and disruption to challenge genocide and defend human rights? The whole world knows the truth.

Banning Palestine Action. But happy to pose for photos with the ambassador of a genocidal Apartheid state. Does Yvette Cooper have any idea how this photo will look in 30 years time?

As the Madleen was reportedly intercepted and seized by Israeli forces in int'l waters, the UK gov must urgently seek full clarification and secure the immediate release of the vessel & its crew. The Madleen must be allowed to continue its lawful humanitarian mission to Gaza.

According to the director of ophthalmology in Gaza 1500 Palestinian civilians lost their sight due to the Israeli bombardment. Thousands of patients are at risk due to lack of medications and medical materials.

Thousands of people outside 10 Downing Street right now to stand with Palestine and demand our government take action to pressure Israel to end its occupation, apartheid and genocide against the Palestinian people. 🇵🇸

At least 71 Palestinians have been killed and more than 200 injured since the announcement of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

Israel bans the importation into Gaza of anaesthetics. Hence, the scores of children who are amputated daily, following Israel's bombings, are put to the knife without anaesthesia - if they are lucky to be taken to a functioning medical facility and not be bombed when in it.

British company Lush openly calls to boycott Isr*el.

At each mention of Hamas, the BBC informs us that it is "designated a terrorist organisation by the UK government". In the interests of balance, at what point will the BBC inform us at each mention of Netanyahu's name that he is "wanted on suspicion of committing crimes against humanity"?

Kemi Badenoch is one of the most nasty & divisive figures in British politics. From downplaying racism to Islamophobic remarks like "not all cultures are equally valid" & questioning why Sadiq Khan gets a “free pass” for being Muslim, her election marks a shift to the far-right.

I know that, like me, many of you will be feeling fearful this morning. So on this dark day, we stand in solidarity with all those who dreaded this moment and must now live with its consequences, including those in Gaza and in Ukraine. The struggle for truth, peace, and justice goes on. I recommit myself and my party to that struggle this morning. The politics of hatred will not win. Together, we will go forward with a renewed sense of connection with all those around the world who feel shaken by this election result but determined to continue to defend what matters: to build a safe, just, and inclusive green future. Together we curse the darkness, yes, but we also light candles, to mark our unity and the shared power of radical hope that comes from resistance: resistance to Trump, resistance to fascism, and resistance to all those who seeks to divide us. #USElection2024

Twitter, I’m losing followers hand over fist. Still just about hanging on in here - please help me find my old followers - if they’re still here - if you can, by RTing.

1, I am so moved to be marking the 40th anniversary of the Brighton bomb @StJPiccadilly. where I made the decision to bring something positive after just 2 days. It still feels extraordinary I am speaking with Pat Magee, who planted the bomb and that we have 24 years of dialogue.

The best answer to “do you condemn Hamas” was given 13 years ago. @KenOKeefe1TJP

Here is a question to Israel's supporters: If the rage over the 7 Oct slaughter of 1.2k Israelis justifies the slaughter of >40k Palestinians, what do you expect the rage over the slaughter of 40k Palestinians to justify in the heart of a people humiliated constantly since 1948?

Horrific testimony on the arrest in the UK of Sarah Wilkinson for opposing the genocide in Gaza. This is the fascist reaction from Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper to losing control of the narrative, as the people overwhelmingly reject zionism. Sarah faces up to 14 years in jail under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act.
