Content warning: distressing scenes of violence Tonight Amnesty have awarded Channel 4 News @channel4news Best Broadcast Feature at the Amnesty Media Awards 2026 for this powerful report. This feature follows the story of Saeed al-Amour, a Palestinian farmer, whose leg was amputated after being shot by illegal settlers while he tended to his olive groves in the occupied West Bank’s Masafer Yatta. Just four days ago, Saeed was arrested and detained by Israeli forces after another confrontation with settlers on his land. This is what apartheid looks like. Saeed’s story is the story of millions of Palestinians across the occupied West Bank: state-backed settler attacks, home demolitions, and a legal system that penalises Palestinians while shielding Israeli settlers from accountability. Israel is rapidly expanding settlements across the occupied West Bank. But it is going underreported. It is vital that journalists continue to expose human rights abuses.

I am so heartbroken. Israel has just shot my 30-year-old aunt in the chest while she was sitting with her three young children in a school shelter in Jabalia Camp. She is in critical condition; the bullet pierced her chest and exited through her back, devastating her lungs and spleen. At the moment she was hit, she was holding her one-year-old son. He fell from her lap as she collapsed and was found bleeding from one of his ears. I just spoke with my uncle, who told me that Israel has been using subsonic bullets lately. He said his sister is the second mother in the camp to be shot in the chest today. Please pray for her and our family. Her husband was abducted by Israel in November 2024, and we still have no word on his condition.

Please take a moment to listen to UNICEF Spox @1james_elder, speaking after Israel’s latest strikes on Lebanon. “The killing of children, attacks on hospitals, erasure of entire families is now met with justification or selective outrage or just silence…Children are not collateral…Challenge language and challenge people who normalized attacks on civilians.”

Gerald Kaufman, a Jewish MP, in 2009, "My Grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town, Staszów" "A German soldier shot her dead in her bed" "My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza"

The body of the Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was found by rescuers after several hours of digging in the rubble after an Israeli strike. She is the fourth journalist to have been killed by Israeli forces in seven weeks. This is why the word ‘journacide’ is now being used.

Today is a beautiful day! The UK has officially signed its return to Erasmus+. British students will once again study across Europe, feeling closer to our shared continent A wonderful victory for all who believe in the bond between the UK and EU Erasmus+ welcomes the UK home

La semaine dernière, des avions américano-israéliens ont bombardé des entrepôts de pistaches en Iran. Pas des bases militaires. Pas des sites nucléaires. Des pistaches. Derrière cette frappe, une affaire sordide : la famille Resnick, milliardaires de Beverly Hills, propriétaires de la plus grande réserve d'eau privée de la planète, est aussi le plus grand producteur mondial de pistaches. Éliminer la concurrence iranienne, faire monter les prix, asseoir leur domination. La guerre comme outil marketing. Les bombes comme levier économique. Des morts, des destructions, des milliers d'emplois détruits en Iran, pour que des milliardaires californiens s'enrichissent encore plus. Voilà l'ignominie. Voilà la guerre "humanitaire". Des milliards de dollars en bombes, des milliers de morts, et au bout, des actionnaires qui dansent sur les décombres. En mangeant des pistaches. Forcément. Les réseaux financiers répugnants de la guerre. Ceux qu'on ne voit pas. Ceux qui tirent les ficelles. Ceux qui financent les lobbys, achètent les politiciens, et regardent les pistaches brûler en se frottant les mains.

Everyone should take 2 mins to watch this. A father, helped by neighbours, digging for the body of his daughter. Their home destroyed by Israel. This is proper reporting and the reason Israel allows nobody into Gaza and targets journalists every day.

Hussein Saleh lost 8 members of his family in an Israeli strike on their home, including his pregnant wife. He found the head of his young daughter amid the rubble. “When I picked up her head, everything changed. Something in my heart broke and went silent.” It is one of the most heartbreaking stories @NadaOHomsi and I have worked on during the war. Nothing could justify such a horrific attack.

NEWS: Labour to ration NHS referrals Labour’s plans to ration NHS referrals are deeply concerning and will affect us all. Instead of being referred directly to a specialist when your GP thinks it’s needed, now your doctor will have to email a specialist and you have to wait for them to email back their view. Once your GP gets the email back, they either need to call you in for another appointment, or provide that specialist's assessment to you by letter. Then you will need to wait and see whether that advice (given without seeing you in person) works for a period of time, before then going back to your GP again, and asking again to be referred to a specialist if you are still suffering with the health issue. The result? Longer waiting times for specialist care, while specialists spend more time writing emails than actually seeing patients and using their expertise. On paper, waiting lists will therefore look significantly shorter, but only because fewer people ever make it onto them. You are not on a waiting list while the GP is waiting for the specialist to send their advice (without seeing you). You are only on a waiting list when, and if, you then request later to be seen by the Specialist, once you've gone through all of the process above. ⁠So all of this means the Government can announce they've cut waiting lists massively, but what is actually means is longer waiting times for specialist care for all of us as patients, and specialists spend their time writing emails not seeing patients.

@ShakinthatChalk Imo they just get so tired during term time. Asleep for 10pm, 15yo would sleep until 2pm everyday if we let him. I suppose some might say he needs to go to bed earlier but unless he starts taking melatonin, he won’t be able to fall asleep. He does loads of sport & is growing.

Food for thought. My 11 year old boy is still asleep and it’s almost 1pm. I know the benefits of sleep so I leave him be during school breaks. If his natural biology needs sleep so much why do we have school start so early?

This is an essential read from @Suchmo83 about inference in reading. If you are a Read Lead, Secondary English teacher - especially of GCSE English Language, take heed!

So, it took the passing of a law to hang Palestinians, for some 'Christian Zionists' and brainwashed zealots to notice the stench of genocide? It's amazing it has taken a literal hangman's law for them to see what has been right in front of them. For decades, this regime has worn the mask of the persecuted while operating the most well-funded state-sponsored terror machine on earth. They've hijacked Judaism as a moral cover for a regime that is the single greatest threat to global peace - all while your strings are pulled, engineering a sideways hate that blinds you. Millions of good Jews see this for what it is: a state ruled by the Epstein Class and Satan-worshipping gangsters, like much of the Western world. And we've been dancing with the devil way too long. Now, the mask hasn't just slipped; it's been traded for a noose. Much of the world finally sees them for what they are: perpetrators of calculated slaughter and genocide who thought they could hide behind PR and lies forever. That immunity is dead. 'Settler' violence continues; foreigners and Israelis continue to steal land, hijack homes, and assault and kill innocent Palestinians across the West Bank and Israel. It is a systematic erasure disguised as a 'conflict.' Israel's new execution law has no age exemption for children; it currently applies only to 'fatal attacks' against Israelis and 'settlers.' So they've passed a law to execute Palestinian's while 'settler' violence escalates and Palestinians are murdered regularly, with impunity and without prosecution. All the while, Isreal already holds over 450 Palestinian children in custody - 200 of them without any charge at all. Given that children as young as 12 are routinely tried in military courts, what do you think happens next? Over 20,000 children murdered since 2023 and another 20,000 'missing' - likely crushed under the rubble - or orphaned and alone. This is documented slaughter and destruction of precious innocent lives. And still, a Palestinian child's only shield is a stone. History is closing in, and no amount of engineered 'prophecy' or propaganda can scrub away the blood of the innocent. The reckoning isn't coming - it's already here, and the weight of it will be absolute. It's been a staggering display of moral rot for decades that your taxes are actively subsidising - and some of you are still cheerleading it. Any person with a conscience can see this slaughter for what it is. To deny this is anything less than pure evil, or worse; to manufacture excuses for it - is a sickness I can no longer look away from or forgive. Ignorance is no longer an excuse; it's a choice. Clip from Gerard Horton and journalist John Lyons 2014 collaborative investigation into the treatment of Palestinian child prisoners by the Israeli military "Stone Cold Justice." As of late 2015 (after this documentary) Israeli law established a minimum sentence of three years for stone-throwing. Just as stone-throwing went from a minor offence to a mandatory three-year minimum in 2015, and now potentially to death in 2026, the 'legal floor' for what constitutes a capital crime is constantly sinking. If the legal definition shifts to include 'intent to kill' regardless of the outcome, a stone thrown at a vehicle could technically qualify as a capital offence - and don't think they won't do it. History will judge every person who stays silent while a state legalises the hanging of the occupied.

That moment when a British surgeon was giving testimony to the UK Parliament. He describes how IDF drones arrive right after airstrikes in Gaza, targeting and shooting the injured, including children,right on the spot.....

the fact that there is no mass Western response to the policy is making me feel insane. this policy is the most explicit act of institutionalized genocide since Cambodia, if not the Holocaust itself.

After the right to torture Palestinians, Apartheid Israel claims the right to HANG Palestinians. The shame of the century continues. Ben Gvir belongs in The Hague.
