At our huge Palestine solidarity rally in London on Saturday, actor Bilal Hasna read the powerful words of Huda Skaik from Gaza, written this week, about the 1948 Nakba and the current genocide.

So moving to be a part of the rally on Saturday. The mainstream media didn’t think over 500k people marching in protest against the genocide newsworthy. But when history looks back at this moment no one will be able to say they didn’t know. The choice not to see is an active one.

So The New York Times published a less than mediocre piece on Project Esther last week. As Maura Finkelstein pointed out, it fails to investigate the ludicrous claim that there is such a thing as a “Hamas Support Network” and the serious implications it has for Palestinian solidarity in the

Two million women, men & children in Gaza are being purposefully starved. 14,000 babies are at risk of dying in the next 48 hours. What is needed from govt is an immediate end to its complicity in Israel’s genocide: a full arms embargo, comprehensive sanctions & concrete action

This statement yesterday from the Foreign Secretary reflects the mounting pressure faced by the British government to end its complicity in Israel’s genocide. 1/6 ⬇️🧵

The most consequential event of this decade, and perhaps of this century, is one of a powerful regime, backed by the most powerful governments and states of our era, killing, destroying, and displacing hundreds of thousands, even millions, of people. This regime has deemed these

Update on Dr. Alaa al-Najjar who came across the slaughtered bodies of her children while she was at work at Nasser Hospital, the number of her kids who were murdered is 9 now. Only one child of hers survived. He was admitted to the intensive care unit. His name is Adam. The

Amongst thousands of Israeli airstrikes, the British govt assessed just 413 - they decided *only one* potentially violated intl humanitarian law - one involving foreign aid workers. What does this say about how govt views Palestinian life? Our Director, Sara, discusses ⬇️

We wrote to the Home Secretary with 6 other orgs to resist the unprecedented move to proscribe Palestine Action. Govt is using proscription powers to strangle domestic resistance to complicity in genocide - this escalating criminalisation must end. Link britpalcommittee.co.uk/jointletterpal…

Over 100 BBC staff have signed a letter criticising the board’s choice not to air the Gaza medics film. In my latest The Guardian piece, I talk about the BBC’s cowardice over #Gaza, and what it was like to spearhead staff organising while I was a journalist there.

This evening’s vote to proscribe a civil disobedience group sets a dangerous precedent. Targeting activists seeking to bring attention to the UK’s complicity in atrocities in Palestine betrays the deep structural racism of the political establishment in this country - which
