Disclosure shows that Yvette Cooper deliberately wrote an article which prejudiced the Filton trial, despite prosecutors telling her not to as it could break the law. Cooper is yet to face any contempt of court charges as a result. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/m…

When the US sanctioned me for exposing corporate complicity, I trusted people would act. If after nearly a year @bookingcom & @Airbnb still profit from stolen Palestinian property, it’s because too many still use them. Stop using them now & tell them why. theguardian.com/world/2026/may…

The deliberate destruction of civilian homes is not incidental, it is a hallmark of Israel’s military operations. Our new @Amnesty's investigation documents how Israeli forces deliberately destroyed civilian homes in Quneitra, southern #Syria, acts that must investigate as war crimes. We have seen this same pattern repeatedly: in #Gaza, in southern #Lebanon, and now again in #Syria, homes reduced to rubble, families displaced, civilian property unlawfully destroyed with total impunity. These are not isolated incidents. They reflect a consistent, unlawful practice that demands accountability. 🔗 Read the investigation: amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

All medical professionals should watch it, and decide for themselves what to do next. NB this documentary - that BBC refused to air - was produced during the first year of the genocide. Since then, Israel has destroyed most of what you see (being still Gaza) in the documentary.

Prominent MPs including Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana have called for the Met Police chief to retract “gravely misleading comments” linking pro-Palestinian marches to antisemitism. The former Labour leader is the top signatory on a new letter highlighting “baseless claims” made by Mark Rowley. The Scotland Yard boss said organisers of the Nakba 78 march on 16 May pushed for a route that would take demonstrators past a synagogue. “Their initial suggestion for their route, their march, has involved walking by a synagogue,” Rowley told the Times. “Each time we’ve prevented that, we’ve put conditions on. The fact that features as the organisers’ intent, I think that sends a message… that feels like antisemitism. “That may be a fair or unfair inference, but that’s the message it sends.” But the organisers’ first route suggestion was from Embankment to Whitehall, via Westminster and Waterloo bridges – which does not pass any synagogues, Corbyn’s letter notes. A second suggested route, which was likewise rejected by Met police, also did not pass any synagogues. The letter was signed by 32 MPs, including Hannah Spencer, John McDonnell and Diane Abbott, and four members of the House of Lords. “Our government is still supplying arms to Israel as it continues to bomb, starve & dispossess the Palestinian people,” Corbyn said on social media after sharing the letter on Wednesday. “That is why thousands of us continue to demonstrate – and that is why we reject disgraceful attempts to malign our movement for peace.” The Palestine Coalition, which is made up of six groups including Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Stop the War Coalition, has submitted a formal legal complaint to the London mayor’s office for policing and crime about Rowley’s comments. Corbyn’s letter also accuses the Met of double standards after it approved a route for a march led by far-right agitator Tommy Robinson on the same day. Police have allowed attendees “to assemble a short distance from multiple mosques”, Corbyn wrote. Rowley’s remarks come in the wake of comments by Jonathan Hall KC, the government’s independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, who has called for a temporary ban on pro-Palestine marches.

The slurs against Misan Harriman, being argued by one of Britain’s most prominent Jewish voices, as dangerously false and detrimental. Daniel Levy writes: ‘Serious work needs to be done in reclaiming the anti-antisemitism agenda from the hands of extremists. That Israeli statecraft sees benefit in positioning the state as the Jew on the international stage, thereby conflating Jewishness with Israel’s actions, does not make it true. Nor does the enthusiasm with which some diaspora Jewish organizations and individuals embrace this conflation. In reality, these are reckless, irresponsible positions, fueling and encouraging the very antisemitism they claim to oppose.’ open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/mi…

On 12 May, an Israeli drone strike hit three paramedics as they were attempting to assist an injured person who survived a previous attack. The strike killed two of them on the spot. Medical and rescue personnel in Lebanon need protection now. f.mtr.cool/bhrgyyzpae

In the occupied #WestBank, 70 children have been killed since January 2025 –at least one on average every week– and a further 850 injured, @UNICEF says. In #Gaza, tens of thousands with life-changing injuries lack access to treatment and rehabilitation. buff.ly/atx3b10

Dozens of boats carrying activists and aid for Palestinians began sailing from Turkey’s Mediterranean coast in the latest attempt to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza #Echobox=1778771731-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/26107705.…

Displacement orders for entire towns are now routine every morning in Lebanon, usually around 9am. This is not a ceasefire.

هاجم المستوطنون الإسرائيليون الإرهابيون قرية جيبيا في قضاء رام الله ، واعتدوا على مسجد القرية وأحرقوه، كما أحرقوا ودمّروا عدداً من المركبات. في ظل غياب المحاسبة الدولية و العقوبات و المقاطعة عربيا و دوليا ، يشنّ المستوطنون الإسرائيليون الإرهابيون هجمات على ما بين 10 إلى 14 تجمعاً فلسطينياً في الضفة الغربية يومياً مكررين إرهاب العصابات الصهيونية التي سببت نكبة ١٩٤٨

Police in Copenhagen beat peaceful anti-genocide protesters with batons on Wednesday as they blocked the entrance to the headquarters of shipping company Maersk. The Danish firm is accused of complicity in the mass killing in Gaza by transporting weapons and other supplies to Israel’s military. Twenty activists from Den Grønne Ungdomsbevægelse – or the Green Youth Movement – were arrested and charged with trespassing, according to industry website Shipping Watch.

They wiped out medical workers in Gaza. Now they're wiping out medical workers in Lebanon. And much of the Western media doesn't appear to consider it worthy of headline news.

"The Nakba continues until today." 78 years ago today, Huda's father was one of more than 800,000 Palestinians forced from their homes when the state of Israel was created. Huda's father, Fareed Al-Imam, was forced to seek refuge in Sheikh Jarrah in 1948. But today that neighbourhood is threatened with eviction by the Israeli authorities. #NakbaDay78 #NakbaDay #Nakba

Channel 4 exposed Eurovision's double standard. 'Five countries are boycotting because of Israel. Russia was banned for invading Ukraine. Israel is not banned. Protesters are being pulled from the arena. Politics is drowning out the music' Russia is unpopular enough to ban. Israel has enough Western backing to protect - even while committing genocide.

BREAKING: Israel just dropped bombs on a medical center in Qsaibeh, South Lebanon. Not a battlefield. Not a weapons depot. A medical center. Israel is hunting and killing the people who save lives. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity.
