Message I just received from an Israeli friend in Israel: "We need your urgent help. If there is no international intervention, we're gone. The entire Palestinian people are under a genocidal attack, and democratic Jews in Israel are under violent fascist persecution that

In my 35 years of work in complex emergencies, I never have expected to write such a letter, predicting the killing of my staff & the collapse of the mandate I am expected to fulfill #Gaza

If anyone doubts Israel is waging a genocidal war in Gaza, just have a read through South Africa’s 84-page application to the World Court. I’ve followed events closely, but even so, it was shocking to see it set out in one place the dimensions of what Israel has already done.

Ils vont passer la journée à nous présenter Gabriel Attal comme « le plus jeune 1er Ministre de la Ve », « le 1er à être ouvertement gay », « l’homme à gauche de la Macronie » alors qu’on le connaît surtout pour sa chasse aux abayas : islamophobie, répression, autoritarisme.

Whatever party you support, the biggest story of the night must be that the far-right will now sit in Westminster. It will receive taxpayer money, get airtime 1 in 6 voters support a party whose representatives think Hitler was "brilliant" and call black people 'jungle bunnies'
