It’s is the duty of every human being on earth to demand peace.

No. More. War.

But Ruby & Fred didn’t die of cancer because they didn’t try hard enough.

They died because we haven’t yet found a treatment that will cure them.

I will continue to tell the world about Anas my 13 year old patient burnt to death, Dareen the 9 year old who's foot was amputated. I will tell the world how brilliant and dedicated Dr Ahmad Maqadmeh was and how he chose to stay at Shifa hospital with his patients.

We are researching the amount of public money being funnelled into private mental health companies. Just received this from one NHS Trust.

In 2019, they spent £205,703 on 'unplanned' patient beds in private mental health hospitals.

By 2023, they spent £7,083,987 🚨

No one should profit from the delivery of public healthcare.

True then, true now, true always.

David Cameron Does HMG take the view that the Israeli bombing of an Iranian consular building in Damascus was a breach of the inviolability of consular buildings?
If not, why not?

Rents are not natural forces. They cannot swell or spike on their own. If they rise, it’s because landlords and lettings agents have put them up. This week’s newsletter i newspaper is all about the enormous problem of historically high private rents… inews.co.uk/news/high-rent…

“ I wish I could go to heaven with them”

The whole family was killed. All of them.

What #Eid are you celebrating!

Wow. Halfway through this brutal but essential watch. The intergenerational trauma this is activating is utterly visceral. The impact of this historic racism and the legacy it set is everywhere today. Everyone needs to watch this look at British history. Extraordinary work.

Britain is breaking international law over Israel and Gaza.

Hundreds of lawyers, judges and academics have signed a letter setting out a damning case.

Some news: My ext family from the Church in Gaza are out! It is bittersweet. Sweet because they are safe. Finally. Bitter because they shouldn’t have had to leave and that so many who do want to leave can’t or die trying. We need a ceasefire to protect all NOW.

This triggers specific legal obligations for the UK, particularly so in a context where the UK has strong political military and financial ties to Israel which gives it capacity to influence Israel's actions. The 5 actions set out in the letter address the UK's legal obligations.

This letter is signed by hundreds of lawyers with diverging views of Israel and Palestine. This reflects that across the spectrum of views, a consensus is growing: there is a serious risk that Israel is committing or is about to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

A fourth former supreme court justice, Lord Carnwath, has joined Lady Hale, Lord Wilson and Lord Sumption in signing the UK lawyers letter urging the government to suspend arms sales to Israel, as signatories rise to over 750. amp.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

The IDF shoots at Palestinians gathering to collect food aid.

One is repeatedly shot, tries to crawl away while injured, is left to bleed to death, and then is left to starving dogs.
