“What we saw [in Gaza ] were thousands of people running towards us and they were hungry, they're starving. And—and all of a sudden, the Israeli tanks, Israeli guns, Israeli weapons from all kinds started firing on the crowd.” Cindy McCain, head of World Food Program

Hey @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social and Edward Stourton: RE World at One news broadcast just now, I think you FORGOT TO MENTION 21 PEOPLE INCL TWO JOURNALISTS (and a Brit) WERE ILLEGALLY STOPPED AND KIDNAPPED by #IDF FROM THEIR CIVILIAN AID SHIP #Handala last night. @freedomflotilla.bsky.social WHY???

This video is bloody excellent.

For every politician and journalist who supported Israel's onslaught, or stayed silent: This photograph should haunt you for the rest of your life. You will never scrub the shame away. No future achievement, however great, will ever erase what you helped inflict on Gaza.

Now that is SMART!

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

While the Israeli killing machine grinds on, those oppose it are labelled 'terrorists'.

"We want Yvette Cooper to remove the proscription of Palestine Action" A retired software engineer was just arrested under the Terrorism Act, alongside seven others in Truro, for opposing genocide and supporting Palestine Action.

BREAKING: Eight arrested outside Truro Cathedral in Cornwall, for holding signs which say they oppose genocide and support Palestine Action. All whilst the perpetrators of genocide face no consequences.

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

“Technical error”

Ever more surreal, ever more oppressive. Elderly people in Cardiff holding cardboard signs supporting Palestine Action get their doors stoved in, homes raided and food apparently tested for radioactive materials. Cardboard: the new weapon of mass destruction. 🧵 docs.google.com/document/d/1...

It's time to call out the real terrorists - please sign: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/yv...

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

Dear @UKLabour, No matter what good you do domestically For so many of us, it won’t matter one tiny bit You will forever be the party complicit in genocide.

An ordinary day in the life of settler colonialists.

Shout this!

The judgement of history will be merciless.

Every day this genocide has the power to pile shock on shock. To think, this is done in our name. We are allies of these monsters.

Nice one Paddy

Congratulations to Defend Our Juries. Shame on the Government. Shame on the Met. There'll be more of us next week.

BREAKING IN CARDIFF (Caerdydd) - Police are moving in on a group of 13 people who are sat outside the BBC Cymru HQ. The group are holding signs with “I OPPOSE GENOCIDE - I SUPPORT PALESTINE ACTION” written on them. 46 arrests have already taken place in London for the same act.

🚨BREAKING - DERRY News coming in of at least 10 arrests in Derry, North of Ireland. Veteran anti-colonial activists came out in Derry today to oppose the UK government proscribing direct action group Palestine Action. Note that south of the border they’d not be “terrorists”.

Totnes today. 80 minutes.

We speak with United Nations expert Francesca Albanese, one day after the Trump administration announced it is imposing sanctions on her over her advocacy for Palestinian rights. www.democracynow.org/2025/7/10/fr...

I'm speechless. On 2nd July, *before* the proscription of Palestine Action and *before* support of the group became illegal, Zarah Sultana MP said in the House of Commons: "We are all Palestine Action." That sentence has been struck from Hansard, the official record of Parliamentary debate.

Why is this not blasted across the world's media?

#BackZack and talk to every day people @zackpolanski.bsky.social for Leader of the #GreenParty

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action". This is real police state behaviour.

Exactly. Our choices are being removed by greedy Big Oil

This principle should run through journalism like the words in a stick of rock. Yet somehow, day after day, it seems to evade the BBC's finest minds.

This MUST happen www.theguardian.com/environment/...

He didn’t say that. He chanted “Death to the IDF”. If he’d have changed “Death to the Russian Army”, the Daily Mail wouldn’t have splashed on it, or demanded his arrest. This rag shows infinitely more rage over a chant than the IDF incinerating thousands of little children.

We have a few different species of Billbug Weevil that hang out around the hospital. They always seem pleased to have their photo taken, and unless I’m in a big hurry I try to oblige. The is probably the fanciest of the group, Sphenophorus cariosus.

Thought for the day

Just gonna leave this here

"Most"? Most what? Genocide apologists? Proto fascists? Billionaires?

Great photos. Entirely peaceful. Then the Met turns up.

Oh but Owen, these people who starve children to death are our allies, didn't you know? Obviously to object to their actions makes you a terrorist. I feel physically sick.
