Did you notice how quickly the debate moved from “it’s not about you, you came here legally and integrated, it’s illegal immigration” to “people with indefinite leave to remain should have their status retrospectively removed” The more we legitimise anti-migration narratives, the worse it’ll get.

Responsibility to Protect This is a duty under international law even as a Uniting for Peace motion must come to UNGA The powers of humanitarianism must be safeguarded for all our sakes and most especially those in Gaza www.dw.com/en/italy-sen...

It is up to ordinary citizens in the West to do all we can to stop one of history’s great crimes. Italian workers have shown all of us how it can be done.

Recognising Palestine is not a substitute for stopping the genocide. When I was in the West Bank, No Other Land’s Basil Adra told the devastating truth.

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

"Lammy hints at U-turn to allow Palestinian scholars to bring children to UK" www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

A welcome - and long overdue - step. But while it’s necessary, it’s deeply insufficient - and must be accompanied by urgent action to help bring an end to the genocide in Gaza, including boycotts, sanctions and an end to all arms sales to Israel.

Speaking from Gaza, Manar Al Houbi told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg show she was informed just days before her evacuation from Gaza that her family would not be allowed to come with her – despite the Labour Government allowing other students' families to enter the UK.

This #PeaceDay our hearts go out to all those living in the shadow of fear and intimidation. We all deserve to be safe and to feel like we belong, no matter where we’re from or how we arrived. #AyeWelcomeRefugees #TogetherWithRefugees

And then you turn your back on the fascists

The best reaction when fascists turn up to try and provoke and dusrupt a pacific demo? Start street party!!! ❤️ Well done Glasgow good #antifascist people!!

The #GlobalSumudFlotilla is on the move! ⛵⛵ 🇵🇸 ⛵ 🕊️ ⛵⛵⛵ You can track (and support) these shiny, brave humans ✨ here globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/

If I (OR my 84 year old dad or 14 year old niece) end up in jail for facing down the fash in Glasgow on Saturday, I am relying on the #MDANT community to help bail me/us out ✊

Settler colonialism is built on dehumanisation “It’s not just that Palestinians are the enemy; they’re viewed exclusively through a colonial gaze” - “They’re somehow worthless and inferior” “This is a notion that is fundamental to Israeli society; this sense that Palestinian lives are worth less”

An independent UN commission has concluded that Israel has committed and continues to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza

BREAKING: UN inquiry finds Israel’s war on Gaza to be genocide aje.io/2h84g2

"Wanton destruction of cities, towns or villages" is a WAR CRIME. Not that Israel has ever faced any consequences for the inordinate amount of war crimes and crimes against humanity it is has been committing daily, for two years

“Today showed us what happens when hateful rhetoric is allowed to go unchecked and take over our streets. “We’re calling on everyone who opposes today’s scenes to join us on Wednesday and say: not in our name. This protest isn’t just about Trump — it’s about what kind of country we want to be.”

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality. We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

Activists from 40 countries sail from Tunisia to defy Israel’s blockade and deliver aid to Gaza.

For the next fascist demo we need to organise lots of lovely joyful anti-fascist activities that are not about physically turning up to face them. I’m talking street parties, discos, community events that drown them the hell out.

Israel has launched strikes in six countries over the past 72 hours, targeting Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia, Qatar, and Yemen aje.io/gx7iu7x

Every day, somewhere between 10 and 20 times as many Palestinians are slaughtered by Israel. It's not just that they don't get these messages of grief and condemnation from British politicians. British politicians continue to arm their murderers.

Should we have diplomatic ties with the US? Yes. Should we roll out the red carpet for a racist, misogynist? No. Should we show up in huge numbers to say he represents everything we oppose? Absolutely. See you there.

An update from Haaretz "IDF declared a "humanitarian zone" in southern Gaza". Humanitarian zone = concentration camp. Doublespeak again. It's just sickening

Activists want to end Israel’s blockade of Gaza and expect to set sail on Sunday when flotilla from Spain arrives.

“I had to break the news to my wife. She hasn’t been able to stop crying since she heard the news. What is the value of this life if you have to be separated from the people you love? Both of us are completely shattered by this.” This heartbreak a thousand times, for what?

Brilliant leadership from Lush Buy their stuff - it’s against genocide. They have also support many excellent refugee projects I’ve been involved with over the years And @scotnational.bsky.social for covering tenaciously. These actions work as they build www.thenational.scot/news/2543703...

Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.

86% of the world’s genocide experts have declared that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Israel made its genocidal intent clear from day one. It then committed genocide in full view of the world. Nobody with power or influence can say they didn’t know at the time.

Just wow! 👏👏👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=724G...

Leading genocide scholars formally declare that Israel’s war on Gaza meets the UN’s definition of genocide.

Turning up the racism dial to impress people who hate you and are itching to burn down the auditorium

This is what humanity looks like 👇

Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President, warns that a mass evacuation of Gaza City is "unfeasible and incomprehensible". All civilians are protected by the rules of war, whether they leave or stay behind, and must be allowed to return home. Read more: ms.spr.ly/63328sbtSO

Are we really going to drown in six inches of water? The central far right claim - that our problems are caused not by those with power and wealth but by utterly powerless people (asylum seekers etc) - is obviously and pathetically wrong. Yet millions, once more, are floundering in that puddle.

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works: 1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵

"I haven't slept for days," she says. "Every day, I wonder which will come first - a message from the UK government, or a missile.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Dr. Mimi Syed, an American emergency physician, speaks out after Israel barred her entry into Gaza for a medical mission: "The little bit of relief that us foreign doctors can provide, that has also been revoked and taken away from them. And it’s nothing but cruelty."

While Israel is "obliterating Gaza," the government is simultaneously escalating violence and construction of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. "Israelis don’t want Palestinians on this land," says writer Mariam Barghouti.

For the 1st time the UK will be the the subject of an @amnesty.org global urgent action. It says this is to "protect the right to protest in the UK, following the arrest, since July 2025, of over 700 people for peacefully protesting in support of Palestine Action" www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releas...

Quite a juxtaposition. The HO to evacuate 9 (NINE) students with offers to study in the UK (out of 40 people who met the criteria, which is still not even close to a drop in the ocean) while Israel calls up 60k (SIXTY THOUSAND) people to invade Gaza and gives the go ahead to stealing people's land

The previous joint governmental statement was so effective at stopping Israel that they’ve decided to do another one

Starmer's Twitter account is wall-to-wall immigrant bashing, and has been for weeks. You need to know these things if you're living in the Bluesky bubble and think everything's normal with Labour.

Israel has a hideously chilling strategy. They want the destruction of the Palestinian people to be a done deal - like indigenous people in the US or Australia. A brutal wake-up call from the ever-brilliant @omarbaddar.bsky.social

The turning point here is not that journalists were killed, that's been happening for months. It's that the Israeli government tried to argue they were 'the head of a terrorist cell' within Hamas. No attempt to brush it off as an accident. Do we have any more Rubicons left to cross at this point?
