It’s 3 AM local time in Gaza, and there are more than 100 bombings across the strip. We have all woken up because it feels like a strong earthquake. The Israeli government has decided to resume this genocide and break the ceasefire.

Thursday night, armed police stormed a Quaker meeting house in London and arrested six people for having a peaceful assembly, where they were discussing climate change and Gaza. Armed police. Peaceful assembly. In a house of worship. In England. quaker.org.uk/news-and-event…
