In the illegally occupied area of Silwan, East Jerusalem, Israeli forces are about to forcibly expel 1500+ Palestinians & demolish their homes. Why? So Israeli settlers can build a park on the ruins. Forcibly expelling occupied people from their homes is a war crime #SaveSilwan

I wish it didn't take the tears of Azeem Rafiq to make people think or be 'heartbroken'. There will barely be a brown-skinned person in Britain who hasn't felt that smarting, holding back the tears feeling, while being told it was just banter.

Next week I'll be voting against the Conservatives' Health and Care Bill: It extends NHS privatisation, makes cronyism even easier, and incentivises cuts and closures. It must be opposed.

Israel is not Netanyahu Palestinians are not Hamas The protests demanding a ceasefire are not hate marches. The Home Sec must stop pitching community against community and emboldening fringe elements by making strawman arguments which she knew were simply untrue

This video destroys Israel’s risible claims that the massive Palestinian death toll has been caused by Hamas using “human shields”. Look at that devastation. The Israeli army have been indiscriminately destroying everything. That’s why so many are now dead.
