Another night of horror in the #Gaza Strip. A strike hit a hospital courtyard, burning the tents where people were sleeping. Just before this, an @UNRWA school sheltering families was hit in Nuseirat. That same school was going to be used as a #polio vaccination site today.

One year after the start of the war in #Gaza, violence persists and the humanitarian crisis continues. Gaza remains sealed off, leaving no safe areas for civilians. @UN is fully committed to staying and delivering aid to the people of Gaza. #CeasefireNow

The U.S. has approved at least $17.9 billion in security assistance for Israeli military operations in Gaza and elsewhere since October 7, 2023 – substantially more than in any other year since the U.S. began granting military aid to Israel in 1959. watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/pap…

The blocking of anyone referring to ‘genocide’ is almost universal in the mainstream British media. As a genocide scholar, I’ve been interviewed/quoted about Gaza by media from all over the world, including the US, but never by any major British outlet.

“The super-rich do not spend their money on MPs out of generosity and out of the goodness of their hearts. They want something in return. This wealth is used to buy influence in this House; to get this place to serve their interests and not the interests of our constituents.”

When I was first elected, one of the things that shocked me most was the lobbying from big business and the super-rich. From gifts, dinners, donations and – we know now – texts to the Prime Minister, they do it to get the government to work for them, not for you.

thinking about Judith Butler on grievability. Palestinians cannot be mourned in death because they have never counted as lives to begin with. We know this, we see it elsewhere too, but sometimes the hierarchy of human life is so clear it takes your breath away.

The murder of six Israeli hostages by Hamas terrorists in Gaza is devastating and enraging. Canada stands with the victims’ families in your grief. Hamas must release all hostages, lay down its arms, and have no future in the governance of Gaza. Leaders must reach a deal to…

Yesterday it was confirmed an Israeli F-35 fighter jet – made in part in Britain – was instrumental in a recent attack on a "safe zone" in Gaza, killing 90 people. Hours later the UK government refused to suspend licences pertaining to F-35s. ALL arms sales to Israel must end.


Professor Andrea Rigon Reposted

Western media marks an appalling threshold of Israel killing 40,000 Palestinians in Gaza without mentioning *Israel* Thousands more are still missing or under rubble making the actual death toll much higher. This is how you whitewash genocide.

#Gaza Heavy shooting from the Israeli Forces at a UN convoy heading to Gaza city. While there are no casualties, our teams had to duck and take cover. This took place yesterday. The teams were traveling in clearly marked UN armoured cars & wearing UN vests. One vehicle…

The judge who sentenced the JSO activists was previously "very lenient" towards an on-duty police officer who had sex with a drunk woman he'd offered a ride home. The judge said the officer had acted in a "moment of madness", and he avoided jail time. itv.com/news/central/2…

⛓️ To give you a sense of how horrifying and brutal these prison sentences for #JustStopOil activists are: Average sentence for violent crime = 1.7 years. Average sentence for the JSO activists = 4.3 years.

🚨BREAKING: A new Oxfam report reveals how Israel's systematic weaponizing of water against Palestinians in #Gaza, has reduced the amount of water available in Gaza by 94% to 4.74 litres a day per person. Read our release👉 oxf.am/4640Get

The sentences handed to the five @JustStop_Oil campaigners are utterly disproportionate. Four and five years in prison for peaceful protest? This is what you might expect in Russia or Egypt, not in a supposed democracy. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

You know who isn’t in jail? Bosses of companies who poisoned our waters while making record profits

Israeli “evacuation orders” continue to be instruments of terror & displacement. Palestinians in Gaza’s old city & at Ahli hospital were ordered to evacuate west, only to be attacked there & receive another evacuation order under 24hr later, to a ‘safe area’ that doesn’t exist.


Professor Andrea Rigon Reposted

BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures. thelancet.com/journals/lance…


Professor Andrea Rigon Reposted

Of the 274 Palestinians killed in Israel's hostage rescue operation, 64 were children and 57 women. That's 44%. Many of the men killed were in the adjacent market and also likely civilians. That is a horrible (disproportionate) civilian toll. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Students across the UK have set up encampments in solidarity with #Palestinians. A growing number of university faculty (many of whom are Jewish and Israeli) have publicly supported these encampments. A thread with links 🧵 1/15 #Palestine #Gaza @NationalSJP
