Protesters take the street in Naples Italy and carry a 75 meter long banner reading thousands of names of children killed by Israel as they protest against the genocide.

"You said that Israel is at war with Hamas let me ask you a simple question. Why are you shooting children in the skull & in the chest? why are you killing journalists? Why are you killing medics? Why are you killing UN workers?" Norman Finkelstein

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.

BREAKING: Israel dropped a bomb on a medical center in Srifa, South Lebanon, murdering paramedic Ali Abbas Nadji. Israel is hunting down and killing the people saving lives. Doctors. Paramedics. Civil defense workers. This is a war crime. A crime against humanity.

"Israel beat, tortured, and sexually assaulted me and my fellow humanitarian peace activists for days." Statement by Australian activist Violet Coco after her release from an Israeli prison. Listen to every word carefully.

Reform-led Durham council cut off funding to the annual Pride celebrations. So trade unions launched a fundraiser to save it, eventually raising more money than was cut. Which means this year's Pride will be bigger than ever. In the 1980s, the LGBT+ community raised thousands of pounds to help striking miners and their families. When we stick up for each other, we can achieve anything.

BE THEIR VOICE BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. Mahsa & Mandana Sotoudeh, two Baha’i citizens from Shiraz Mahsa was arrested by the Islamic regime security forces on March 29, & on April 1, Mandana & her husband, Behzad Basiri were arrested too following a raid on their home. The arrests were carried out violently & without judicial warrants. Their personal belongings & electronic devices were seized. They’re currently being held in Adelabad Prison in Shiraz in separate Wards & despite nearly two months having passed, the authorities refuse to clarify their status & the charges against them. #KingRezaPahlavi‌ForIran

BREAKING: Israel just dropped bombs on the Qaraoun Dam in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley — a key water reservoir serving civilian populations across surrounding villages. This is not a battlefield target. It is a critical water infrastructure. This is an act of genocide.

پشت آن چشم‌بند، انسانی ایستاده بود که زیر فشارِ تهدید و شکنجه، وادار شد حقیقت را انکار کند! حقیقت این است #میلاد_آرمون بی‌گناه است.

It's time to end Rip off Britain. For too long we've had people in charge of the decisions that affect our lives in the pockets of the super rich. The Green Party have two vested interests - protecting communities and our planet. It's time to tax the super rich.

This image is still stuck in my mind, how the Israeli occupation soldiers arrested all the patients at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. We will not forget, and we will not forgive.

BOMBSHELL: Prominent journalist Yasmin Khan confirms 15 peace activists detained by Israel report being systematically raped and sexually assaulted. An Australian doctor reveals soldiers dragged medics into stress positions and brutally beat them. Pure fascist terror!

Surely he was asked about this the last time he was on a major BBC programme? No??? Why not?

If 9 Jewish paramedics were killed ANYWHERE in the world it would be called terrorism. And we’d never hear the end of it. Israel slaughtered 9 paramedics in 72 hours, most of which we’ve seen on film, and we only hear their names on Twitter.

🔴DON’T LOOK AWAY The Islamic regime is going to hang Milad Armoun simply for protesting. He was tortured, forced to confess, and now faces death for demanding freedom. This is pure barbarism. Share this before they kill him.

Four month ago, Alex Pretti was murdered by Donald Trump’s ICE. RETWEET to honor Pretti’s life of service ❤️

If you had any integrity, @YvetteCooperMP , and if you hadn't taken campaign donations from Labour Friends of Israel @_LFI, you would be doing the same. You seem to have forgotten that their PM has an arrest warrant out for him in the Hague

British Police 2026: Woman Pulled Over on Way to Hospital Appointment for “Inappropriate Use of Horn” 🤦‍♂️ This is what British policing has come to. A driver is pulled over on her way to a hospital appointment. A pedestrian steps out from a junction without looking. The driver beeps her horn to avoid an accident. The police then stop her and confirm she is being reported for court over “inappropriate use of horn.” Driver: “You’re taking me to court because I came in from a junction and a male was crossing the road, didn’t look and I beeped… is that correct?” Officer: “Yes.” The officer then reads her the caution before stating: “You’ve been reported for the consideration of prosecution for inappropriate use of horn.” This isn’t a joke. While violent crime, knife attacks, grooming gangs, thefts, and burglaries continue to plague communities across the country, officers are spending time and resources pursuing a woman for sounding her horn at a careless pedestrian. When everyday road users trying to drive safely are being dragged toward court for basic defensive actions, but far more serious offences often go under-policed, the public loses confidence in law enforcement. We need police focused on actual crime, not this.

Former ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda: “Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen asked me to halt investigations related to Palestine, and the pressure later escalated to indirect threats against my family.”

Natasha Devon: "This is about Palantir. I think there's probably a limited amount that I have time to say & can say on air about Palantir" Palantir, the US surveillance company that supplies ICE & the IDF among others, should be kicked out of all our public services.
