Haitham in Gaza 🇵🇸🍉
Haitham in Gaza 🇵🇸🍉@HaithamElmasri1·
What I witnessed today is beyond words, beyond what any human being should ever have to endure. I went with a friend to the hospital to follow up on his condition after the injury he suffered, but from the very first moment, all I saw were scenes of slow death, and all I heard were the screams of the wounded and the sick tearing through the heart and suffocating the soul. Hospitals are no longer hospitals; they have become places overwhelmed by pain, helplessness, and suffering. There is no treatment, no antibiotics, no painkillers, not even the most basic medical supplies that could save a human life. Patients are left to face their agony without medicine, as if they are being abandoned to die slowly before everyone’s eyes. Doctors are working under unimaginable conditions. They perform surgeries with the smallest possible amount of anesthesia, and sometimes with no anesthesia at all because it has completely run out, turning treatment itself into another form of torture for patients. Even the simplest operations have become a battle between life and death. The overcrowding inside hospitals is catastrophic in every sense of the word. Patients with chronic illnesses, the wounded, and those suffering from epidemics and viruses are all crammed into places never meant to hold such overwhelming numbers of people. There are no beds, no mattresses, no clean or safe spaces. Many patients are forced to lie on the ground while struggling against pain and disease with bodies exhausted by hunger, fear, and infection. What is happening here is not merely a health crisis; it is the complete collapse of human life and dignity. Many of these patients could have been treated and saved long ago, but the blockade and the prevention of medicine and medical care have turned their illnesses and injuries into delayed death sentences, slowly consuming their bodies day after day until they are left suspended between life and death. The lives of thousands of patients and wounded people are in immediate danger. If Israel does not immediately allow the entry of medicine, treatments, and essential medical supplies, and if critically ill and injured patients are not allowed to travel for urgent medical care, then we are facing a horrifying humanitarian catastrophe that no silence in the world can justify.

One of the most shocking videos ever shared on the internet.. Moments documenting hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza being forced at gunpoint to leave their homes during the war, before their houses were destroyed before their eyes. Painful scenes the world should never forget, no matter how much time passes.

Here is my BAFTA speech in full, with the important bit that hasn't been shown. Also, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us, and to our colleagues who rallied around us. And thank you to @BAFTA and the judges for a great evening and a great honour.

One of the most horrifying things happening in Gaza right now something the world barely knows about is that we are now trapped inside an area no larger than 133 square kilometers out of Gaza’s original 336 square kilometers. More than two million people are crowded into this tiny, suffocating space, creating one of the highest population densities in the world, literally. But the real catastrophe is not only the lack of space it is that this area itself is no longer fit for human life. Everything around us has become rubble, tents, and destroyed homes. There are no proper schools, no functioning hospitals, no infrastructure, no electricity, and no clean water. People are surviving among destruction, disease, epidemics, hunger, and constant fear. Every single day we wake up to news that more areas have been taken over, and the space we are confined to keeps shrinking further and further, until it feels like we are being slowly pushed toward complete suffocation. Our homes disappeared inside those areas, and until this moment we know nothing about them, as if our entire previous lives have simply been erased. The situation here is becoming more terrifying with every passing day. Children fall asleep to the sounds of bombardment and fear, while families live without any sense of safety or stability. No one knows how long this endless nightmare will continue. What is happening can no longer be endured, and there is an urgent and immediate need for intervention to save more than two million people trapped in conditions no human being should ever have to live through.

From a local FB page. People like Reform because it has finally given them permission to express their racist hatred openly. 😢 ----- I have been an election agent for the Labour Party in Crawley for 8 years Yesterday, for the first time ever, I cried at a count. Was it because we'd lost a lot of seats, because we had? No. I cried because a very hard working, dedicated, British born Councillor of Pakistani descent had the word "deport' written next to her name on a ballot paper with a Reform vote. When the doubtful papers were shown to candidates and agents, I challenged the Reform agent to disown the vote and he refused. I saw a number of other ballot papers with racist, islamophobic and antisemitic comments. I'm used to the abusive comments about parties and policies on papers, we tend to have a laugh with them. I'm also used to the many pictures of penises on ballot papers (you guys are all so original), but I haven't seen so much hatred written on ballot papers. What are we becoming as a country? Why do people feel emboldened to put their hatred out there? It's vile.

Quite how so many people in the UK can look at what's happened in America under Trump and think, 'I fancy a bit of that...' truly baffles me. But never underestimate how a compliant media, ingrained racism and social media can facilitate the rise of fascism

This is who Reform UK are putting forward across the country. Line by line, name by name. Read it. Listen to it. Then ask yourself if they are fit to represent anyone.

My post on Farage, Nathan Gill and Russia is being suppressed by the X algorithm - a mere 592 views in 9 hours. Has the algorithm been tweaked to protect Farage in the run up to the local elections?
Nick Reeves #RejoinEU #NAFO #FBPE@nickreeves9876

With the local elections coming up don't let the news media bury the truth about Farage, Nathan Gill and Russia. On September 16, 2014, Farage and Nathan Gill made speeches to the European Parliament parroting several of the same Russian propaganda lies. Could this have just been a coincidence? I don't think so. It looks coordinated. Either Farage gave Nathan Gill his talking points, or Russia was providing its talking points to both of them. They both called Ukraine "The Ukraine," a term which refers back to the old Slavic word for borderland, which Russia uses to deny Ukraine's nationhood. They both used the expression "poking the Russian bear." They both parroted the Russian lie that there had been a coup in Kyiv in 2014. They both parroted Russian lies about NATO and EU expansion. They both repeated the Russian claim that the real threat was Muslim extremism, a claim that Putin had very effectively used to distract Western leaders from Russian aggression and its hybrid war against the West. Reform UK initially claimed Farage barely knew Gill. That turned out to be a filthy lie. Let's follow the Hungarian example and get off our sofas into the polling booths to give Farage and his media backers a kick in the brexits that they will never forget. And just in passing, here is Farage with the Russian Ambassador in 2013 – the same Ambassador Farage denied having met, and who later boasted of having "crushed the British to the ground". Finally, a reminder that Farage was heavily promoted by Russian TV before the BBC took up that role. A vote for Reform UK is a vote for Putin.

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked. An Israeli soldier filmed this clip using a drone camera while proudly boasting about the destruction of all homes in Gaza. A moment the world must never forget.

Reform want to round up migrants and detain them indefinitely in areas that don’t vote for them. Yet for most of our media, it’s those marching for Palestine who are creating hatred & fear. These disgusting plans are an affront to democracy — and must be fiercely opposed.

Nigel Farage has committed prosecutable election offences with this video under the Representation of the People Act 1983. The Act prohibits inducing voters through the threat of “temporal injury”, which includes material disadvantage such as the targeted imposition of government burdens. Threatening to specifically house illegal migrants in a constituency if it does not vote Reform is coercive and constitutes a criminal offence.
Nigel Farage MP@Nigel_Farage

If you vote Reform you will not have an illegal migrant deportation facility in your area. We will hold migrants awaiting deportation in constituencies that vote Green instead. You get what you vote for.

Nigel Farage secretly trousered £5 million in cash, and he didn’t want you to know. Since the media have barely covered it, let's make it go viral 👇

I haven't seen anyone tracking all of the alleged (or open) Trump corruption, self-dealing, and quid pro quos in one place. For the last 15 months, I've been tracking every single tip+story I can find and organizing it. Today, I published a 6,000 word piece with every example.
