There are videos coming out of Rafah today of beheaded babies. Actual beheaded babies that you can see for yourselves - not the beheaded babies that the Israeli authorities invented to justify their genocidal assault, or the ones that Biden falsely claimed to have seen pix of.

Calling for *only* a ceasefire in response to the hellish scenes we’re seeing in Gaza of Palestinian babies beheaded by Israeli strikes and Palestinian men, women and children burnt alive in their tents by US-made weapons is frankly cowardly. Dismantle Israel. Eradicate Zionism.

I don't want to sit through an ICC tribunal in 10 years time with British politicians wringing their hands about what they should have done. We need arms licences cancelled now. We need sanctions now. We need to do everything humanely possible to end this right now.

Utter horror in Rafah tonight. The IDF has struck tents housing displaced people in an area that #Israel had designated a humanitarian zone & encouraged #Gaza’ns to evacuate to. At least 30 people are dead. Videos are circulating of mutilated children amidst the destroyed tents,

What kind of monsters have we become? Justifying the killing of children as "human shields" is the ultimate justification of Israel's genocidal logic and the endorsement of its "humanitarian camouflage", with civilians -even babies in incubators- becoming abstractions between the

If turnout is around 57% and Labour got around 35% of the vote, that means barely one in five eligible voters actually cast a vote for the Labour Party. 20% of the electorate delivers a 160 seat landslide?? The first past the post system is an anti-democratic joke. Time for PR.

Shambles from Wizz Air as usual - flight delayed by almost 4 hours. They’ve put an earlier flight with almost identical flight number also flashing ‘delayed’ departing from the same gate, causing everyone to try to board the wrong flight 👍🏽. Really taking us for mugs out here 🤡

Like a criminal suspecting that his accomplaces want to throw him under-the-bus, Netanyahu is in Congress to remind the US political ellite that this is as much their genocide as it is his.

All the members of Congress cheering Netanyahu right now will one day be remembered the way we remember those who cheered Hitler. Historians will not be kind.

I think I speak for a lot of Palestinians when I say that although it’s not surprising (to us) to see US Congress welcome and embrace Netanyahu, it’s still very chilling to witness the standing ovations. To see and hear them applauding and celebrating the slaughter of our people

This is the moment journalists in Gaza found out that their colleagues, Al Jazeera journalist Ismail al-Ghoul and his cameraman Ramy El Rify, were killed in an Israeli strike on Gaza City, bringing the number of killed Palestinian journalists since 7 October to 165. Video by:

This really summarises the past few days, but actually for most of my teens and adult life. Racists are going around openly declaring their desire to expel and kill, and you still have journalists and politicians asking if this is exaggeration
