Anyone saying ‘No it’s not’ needs to shut their Genocide mouth now. It’s game over! You will be officially a genocide denier if you speak against this. The world is watching!! Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, scholars' association says reuters.com/world/middle-e…

We have a Labour deputy prime minister who seriously thought it was a good idea as a Manchester MP working in London to designate a seaside flat in Brighton as her "principal residence" to save £40k in tax. You couldn't make that up. One that she'd be so greedy and two so stupid.

Paddington is literally an undocumented immigrant from South America, with a history of prison time & famously unemployed, living off a British family.

We agree. So when is the UK Government going to stop enabling attacks like these by suspending all arms transfers to Israel, including parts for the F-35 jets being used to bomb civilian targets?

"It is a famine. The Gaza Famine. It is a famine that we could have prevented, if we had been allowed. Yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel. Everyone owns this. The #GazaFamine is the world’s famine." - @UNReliefChief

After 22 months of endless war crimes, any government that doesn’t use every lever to stop Israel’s planned forced population transfer & seizure of Gaza City is complicit in this century’s worst mass atrocity. No one can pretend they didn’t know, not then and certainly not now.

“In MSF’s nearly 54 years of operations, rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.” The GHF-run food distributions in Gaza, Palestine, have become sites of “orchestrated killing and dehumanisation”, not humanitarian aid.…

This is huge. Unite, one of the UK's largest trade unions, has voted for a full arms embargo on Israel. Last week, the union voted to support members who refuse to handle weapons for Israel and support divestment campaigns. Solidarity with the workers.

We need a global movement for sanctions on Israel - as was done for apartheid South Africa. I was proud to attend the launch of the Hague Group of nations launched to deliver that. Today the Group holds its second meeting, with 30 governments attending. Justice will be done!

The only way to “stop the boats” is international development, diplomacy, cooperation, and peacebuilding rather than fuelling wars and assisting genocide. Cry all you want. But people are going to keep coming more we burn the planet, ignite wars, and hinder global development.
