A large number of Muslim voters have abandoned the Labour Party as shown in the latest elections. Is there a way back? I argue it's likely insurmountable for this electio given the scale of the damage, but where there's a will there's a way. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

An Israeli attack on Rafah would be catastrophic. People in Gaza have nowhere safe to go. Famine is spreading, children are starving, and tens of thousands have already been killed. 🛑 Stop the attack on Rafah 🛑 #CeasefireNOW

Spontaneous cheers erupt in Gaza on hearing the news that Hamas has told Qatar and Egypt they will accept their ceasefire proposal. Israel has not formally replied, at this stage ⤵️

Rafah is under attack & there is nowhere for Palestinians to go. This latest escalation in Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza must be met with consequences: From the UK immediately banning arms sales to the ICC holding Netanyahu & Israeli officials to account for war crimes.

This footage is taken from the Egyptian side of Rafah Indiscriminate bombing Netanyahu is a monster. He leads a fascist government and seeks genocide Biden, Sunak and Starmer enabled and supported his slaughter of innocent people. They are all guilty.

Netanyahu and his Cabinet do not want peace. Their response to a peace deal is to attack Rafah. But they can only be so terrible and destructive because Western governments support them in every possible way. bbc.co.uk/news/live/worl…

An assault on Rafah would be a strategic mistake, a political calamity & a humanitarian nightmare. I appeal to all those with influence over Israel to do everything in their power to help avert even more tragedy.

Yesterday, facing another round of massacres of innocent Palestinians, including many children, I urged the Government to mobilise international pressure to halt the attack on Gaza & to make it clear to Netanyahu we will pursue him as a war criminal until we get him into court.

🚨Rafah’s main hospital is no longer functioning after Israel ordered its evacuation. This leaves over 1 million people in Rafah with 1 hospital (capacity: 16 beds), a field hospital which serves only as a trauma stabilisation point, and 1 hospital only providing maternity care.

Zarah Sultana tells it like it is on Kuensberg brilliantly. No amount of sophistry from Cameron can hide the blood stained fact arms from our country are being used to kill innocent civilians in Gaza. It’s a straightforward action for the government to take ~ end the arms sales.

As Israel intensifies its bombardment of Rafah, Gaza’s remaining hospitals are struggling to cope, British citizens are trapped and injured children cleared for evacuation could die. I spoke to a Palestinian doctor about the horrors he is witnessing. tribunemag.co.uk/2024/05/we-jus…

The UK government is aiding and abetting Israeli war crimes. It must end this complicity and immediately suspend arms sales.

This from the International Criminal Court is pretty devastating for the Israeli government in general and Netanyahu and Defence minister Gollant in particular - and yes for Hamas leaders too

The ICC prosecutor says Netanyahu and Gallant are criminally responsible for seeking to exterminate the people of Gaza, including by cutting off food and water. Time then to arrest western leaders like Biden and Sunak who've actively helped Israel carry out these crimes against

When you read this, remember that the UK government has aided and abetted Netanyahu's war crimes: From legitimising his brutal bombardment of Gaza, to supplying weapons to the Israeli military. That must now end. Our government must support the ICC and stop arming Israel.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and three leaders of Hamas, on the grounds of war crimes and crimes against humanity, the prosecutor’s office announced on Monday.

The ICC - International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant should be a wake up call. Our political leaders must stop colluding in Israel’s war against humanity. Stop arms sales to Israel. End the complicity and political cover. Call for an end to the occupation and Free Palestine

The UK, which is fully complicit in Israel's genocide, now has every incentive to sabotage international law and the role of the International Criminal Court. The UN recognises the state of Palestine and so does the ICC, giving it jurisdiction. The UK is flat-out lying here.
