Tomorrow, MPs will be voting on the call for a ceasefire in Gaza. It is a simple moral choice: do you support the indiscriminate killing of human beings, or do you want to stop the further loss of life? In the aftermath of horror, we need voices for peace and diplomacy. Instead, our government has given the green light to unconscionable death and destruction. I condemn the targeting of all civilian life. That includes the deplorable acts of terror by Hamas against Israeli civilians. And that includes acts of terror by the Israeli government against Palestinian civilians. More than 11,000 people in Gaza have been killed, almost half of whom are children. Without a peaceful and political solution, this cycle of violence will go on and on, and it is the responsibility of members of Parliament to demand an end to the ongoing loss of life. We cannot become distracted from our overriding goal: to bring about freedom, justice and peace for all Palestinians and Israelis. With every passing minute that the bombing continues, another human being is killed. This must end, now. I will vote for a ceasefire tomorrow, and I will continue to demand the release of hostages, an end to the siege of Gaza, and an end to the occupation of Palestine. I urge colleagues to do the same.

JUST IN: Ukraine's president Zelensky says the war in the Middle East is 'taking away the focus' from the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Yoga time.. 😊

Listen to this Irish woman go off on the BBC. In just one minute she says so much.

A historic crime is unfolding in Gaza & the EU is in it up to its neck. MEPs sit & watch the slaughter & cannot even condemn it, calling it a "humanitarian crisis," as if it was caused by the weather. Infamy. EU will never live down the shame of today's resolution. #LongLiveGaza

"Long Live Palestine. Long Live Gaza." Thank you to MEP Clare Daly for using those words to end her powerful speech in European Parliament ✊🏼

An Al Jazeera digital investigation found no grounds for the Israeli army's claim that the strike on the al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza was caused by a failed rocket launch.

Human rights investigators have shared new information with Channel 4 News that they say casts doubt on some aspects of Israel’s account of the Gaza hospital explosion. @alextomo reports.

Had to cancel my credit card again because @Uber keeps billing me for trips I’m not taking. Got the notification for a credit card transaction for a trip whilst on the couch! What’s going on?

Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip has killed more than a thousand Palestinian children since October 7, despite laws of conflict that are supposed to protect them. Al Jazeera’s Nada Qaddourah breaks down the situation ⤵️

Dear colleagues: If interested in the truth, do not rely on either the IDF or Hamas regarding the Gaza Hospital Massacre. They both have a vested interest and propaganda is a time tested war tactic. This includes fake news, e.g a video claiming to be by @AlJazeeraWorld #StandUp4HumanRights #StopWarCrimes #RespectHumanitarianLaw

Check: 1. Israeli communicator @HananyaNaftali’s admission of his, now deleted post, which celebrated the Gaza Baptist Hospital massacre. 2. This retraction was only made 8 hours ago while the backlash had been going on for at least 3 hours 3. Video of the hospital director #RespectHumanitarianLaw #StopWarCrimes #StandUp4HumanRights

All evidence points to Israel responsibility for the Gaza Hospital bombing and massacre 1. Israel indicated it was going to bomb the hospital and ordered an evacuation. 2. Soon after the bomb it claimed it. 3. The hospital director confirms an Israeli implicit admission 4. The failed Hamas rocket story came after the backlash #RespectHumanitarianLaw #StopWarCrimes #StandUp4HumanRights

There's something about the Irish 🔥

A year ago, the ANC NEC said that 97 of its members implicated in wrongdoing by the Zondo Commission Report would be called before its Integrity Commission. A year later, not a single one of the 97 has been disciplined, let alone expelled.

🗣️ Eric Cantona: “Defending Palestinian human rights does not mean you are pro-Hamas. Saying “Free Palestine” does not mean that we are anti-Semitic or that we want the disappearance of all Jews. “Free Palestine” means freeing Palestinians from the Israeli occupation that has deprived them of their basic human rights for 75 years. “Free Palestine” means stopping locking up 2.3 million Palestinians in the world’s largest open-air prison, half of whom are children. “Free Palestine” means ending apartheid imposed by the Israeli government. “Free Palestine” means giving Palestinians control of their country’s major infrastructure.

BREAKING: Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan drops bombshell on indicted 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, slaps him with a devastating gag order and publicly blasts him in open court. According to CNN, Judge Chutkan declared today, “Mr. Trump is a criminal defendant. He is facing four felony charges. He is under the supervision of the criminal justice system and he must follow his conditions of release. He does not have the right to say and do exactly what he pleases. Then he asked Trump’s attorney, “Do you agree with that?” Trump’s lawyer responded, “100%.” Then Chutkan declared, “When you start to use a word like ‘thug’ to describe Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is doing his job, that wouldn’t be allowed by any other criminal defendant. Just because the defendant is running a political campaign does not allow him to do whatever he wants. If the message Mr. Trump wants to express is ‘my prosecution is politically motivated,’” he can do so without using “highly charged language.” Judge Chutkan didn’t stop there, declaring that Trump’s “troubling” posts may incite harm and violence against Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team. Judge Chutkan specifically pointed to a Truth Social post in which the former president referred to Jack Smith as a “thug,” asking Trump’s attorney, “In what kind of case do you think it would be appropriate for a criminal defendant to call the prosecutor a thug and stay on the streets?” At this point, Trump’s attorney told Judge Chutkan that Trump has no choice but to attack Jack Smith because gems fighting “oppression” and “totalitarianism,” but Judge Chutkan didn’t let him get away with it, cutting off Trump’s lawyer, and telling him to “tone down” his hysterical language. Trump’s attorney responded that Trump didn’t need anymore restrictions because the prior restrictions were “working, but Judge Chutkan literally laughed in his face and him that he better “keep politics out” of her “courtroom.” To make matters even worse for Trump, Judge Chutkan ended today’s hearing by letting Trump know that that the trial date set for early March won’t change: “This trial will not yield to the election cycle, and we will not revisit the trial date.” BRAVO, Judge Chutkan!👏👏👏 Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Judge Chutkan for standing strong against Donald Trump — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb
