The war in Gaza is becoming ever more deadly and devastating. In what's become a macabre daily routine, more desperately hungry people were gunned down today, as they tried to collect food aid from the new US and Israeli backed distribution centre.

Today, more starving Palestinians were lured into “aid distribution sites”. They went in hope that they might find a bag of flour. They were gunned down and murdered instead. What utter inhumanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

A few weeks ago, journalists reporting IDF soldiers shooting unarmed starving civilians were accused of spreading blood libel and Hamas propaganda. Now it's a daily occurrence. The IDF puts out a generic statement. Then it does it again. Every day. With no end in sight.

States—particularly western states—have the capacity to take action in the face of the near daily mass murder of starving people. They are choosing complicity over accountability.

As the US edges closer to bombing Iran, Israel killed over 51 starving Palestinians at a so-called aid site today. And the UK government says nothing. Still arming Israel. Still enabling genocide. End all arms sales. Sanction Israeli war criminals. Stop being America’s poodle.

"These are conditions created to kill," says Jonathan Whittall briefing media on #Gaza. “What we are seeing is carnage. It is weaponized hunger. It is forced displacement. It’s a death sentence for people just trying to survive. It appears to be the erasure of Palestinian life.”

When anti-terror laws were introduced, opponents said they'd abused. Making Palestine Action a terrorist organisation akin to ISIS is deranged behaviour. History will damn how opponents of genocide were branded terrorists, while war criminals were armed and feted.

Did you know? On a single day in March in 1912 suffragettes launched a window smashing campaign across London designed to cause as much damage as possible, in order to increase pressure on the govt.

.Zoe Gardner lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning Palestine Action as terrorists as an abuse of state power. Well said.

This Court Ruling is very clear: only the Government and parliament can decide if F-35 fighter jet parts - that can end up in Israel - should be sold. So the Government can no longer pass the buck: it can stop these exports or it can be complicit in Israel's genocide in Gaza.

I hope #Meta just made a mistake, and will soon correct it, with an apology to Professor Luigi Daniele. If "community standards" are invoked to silence human rights advocacy, it is not the global community the standards are protecting. And none of us can feel safe in such a

By sanctioning a UN Special Rapporteur, the US may be in violation of the 1946 Convention on Privileges and Immunities of the UN. As an expert on UN mission, SR Albanese is entitled to immunity from legal process of any kind. Which UN member will take the US to the ICJ over this?

Today an Israeli airstrike killed a group of women and children in Gaza as they waited for a health clinic to open. How many more war crimes must we see before the Government acts? We need widespread sanctions on Israel - on its leaders, its economy and an end to all arms sales
