I’m not sure we deserve this, but it has brought me to tears—bless them for this. I did sincerely think, at different moments, that we would make it this time.

Norrad Bouzide, a harm reduction worker and advocate from Toronto and a Global Sumud Flotilla activist, arrived back in Toronto after Israel illegally detained and tortured activists. On his T-shirt: “The Government of Canada enabled my torture!”

Gemma is a criminology student at my Uni & was in my class. It’s upsetting what they went through but i’m proud that Gemma is making sure to highlight Israel’s crimes. It’s also upsetting that the Uni hasn’t made a statement on their kidnapping & abuse.

There's no food for my kitten 😭😭 What saddens me most is her young age and her desperate need for food. She follows me everywhere I go and makes noises that show how hungry she is :( I'm so sorry, my little one 😭💔 chuffed.org/project/179596

Before leaving to check on my house, I made sure to say goodbye to my daughter. After a long bike ride, I arrived only to find my home destroyed and buried in rubble. It was heartbreaking to see... but thank God, my family and I are fine, and this is the greatest blessing.

As a reminder once again, this is the report prepared by Nicolas Kristof from The New York Times, in which I was one of the speakers talking about my own experience, having been raped by members of the Israeli Prison Service during my detention... Save the remaining prisoners, and do not pay attention to the lies promoted by the occupation.

🇮🇷 Handala Exposes 69 Israeli Navy Officers Behind Sumud Flotilla Attack The Iranian hacker group Handala has released the full names and personal details of 69 Israeli Navy officers it holds responsible for the recent attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla, posting the data publicly and placing a $100,000 bounty on each individual. Handala also issued a direct warning to Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, stating that no crime on land or at sea will go unanswered. The bounties are live. The names are public. Ben-Gvir got called out by name.

Thought experiment: If you said “I support Israel’s onslaught against Gaza” there would be no consequences for your career. What would happen if you said “I want to do to Israel what they’ve done to Gaza”? Easy way of testing whose lives matter and whose don’t!

Pat McFadden thinks people getting time off when sick or disabled is a problem. I think Pat McFadden and his ilk are the problem. Guess how much we paid for him to have a residence closer to work? £40k Now guess how far from his original home it was? Right next fucking door… But he thinks fit notes are the problem… Sure, Pat. You grifting asshole 🙄

Only five days remain until the rent is due, and I fear that I may not be able to secure next month’s payment. I am also afraid that the landlord may evict me and my children onto the street, which could force me to return once again to living in tents, with all the hardship and painful conditions that come with it, along with my children Ahmed and Jamal, and the impact this would have on their lives and education. I sincerely appeal to you to support me in covering one more month of rent. This is a very urgent situation. Please donate and share the campaign—every contribution, even a small one, makes a real difference in our lives. chuffed.org/project/127507…

The painful scenes I see every day here hurt my heart so much

Parliament will debate the need for an inquiry into Israeli influence on UK politics next month, after more than 116,000 people signed a petition calling for a probe. The 22 June debate, which will be broadcast on the UK Parliament YouTube channel, comes after the Labour government said it does not support a public inquiry. The petition raises concerns “about reported Israeli state-linked and pro-Israel lobbying activity in UK politics. We believe it is important to determine the scope and impact of any such influence campaigns.” It adds: “We feel that the horrific devastation in Gaza, the ongoing suppression of Palestinians in the West Bank, and the UK’s political response underline the urgent need to scrutinise how pro-Israel organisations, networks, and lobbying efforts may shape government decisions, party policy, and public debate.” In a response on 17 April, the government said: “There is an existing framework for transparency around lobbying of the UK government and Parliament.” Petition author Andy Kalil told the National that the government’s response was “a whole load of hot air and deflection”, adding that there is an “extreme conflict of interest between pro-Israel lobbying donations and the government’s positions on Gaza, the West Bank, Iran, and southern Lebanon”. Current and former members of the Labour cabinet have received over £300k in donations from pro-Israel groups and individuals since 2013, figures compiled by Declassified UK show. Prime minister Keir Starmer received a £50k donation from pro-Israel tycoon Trevor Chinn for his 2020 Labour leadership campaign. Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed, at a conservative estimate, more than 73,000 people. The UK government has supported Israel’s military throughout, including by flying surveillance drones above Gaza. In 2023 Starmer said that Israel had the right to deny water, food and electricity to the besieged enclave’s civilian population.

🎥 American nurse Ellie Burgos, currently volunteering in Gaza, says the United States and Israel are still blocking even the most basic medical supplies needed to treat nearly 200,000 wounded Palestinians, including minimum levels of gauze, colostomy bags, and other essential equipment. “People are still dying,” she said. They’re just “dying slowly” now, compared to last year when she was last in Gaza. Source: Sahat News English

If you can't get a job, they tell you you're a scrounger. If you've got a job and complain about the cost of living, they tell you to get a better-paid job. And once you get a well-paid job, they tell you greedy train drivers earn 'too much money'. See how it works yet?

Airline pilots, train drivers, teachers, firefighters and coppers aren't conducting open heart surgery either. But they still get sacked for being pissed at work.

4 Jewish ambulance were burned in the UK and it was front page news for days. No injuries, let alone fatalities. And yet...

Because no one stopped Israel from killing medics in Gaza and now they kill medics with impunity. Along with everyone else with a pulse.
