Whether Netanyahu and his defence minister are ever arrested, put on trial, and jailed, a reminder:
All of you who legitimised one of the great crimes of our age - or stayed silent, when you knew - will receive the damning verdict of history you deserve.

This is what genocide looks like.

Not a single person has been put on trial for Grenfell.
But they can lock up non-violent protestors for 21 years, because they are a 'danger'.

Yesterday a 250 pound US made bomb was dropped on a school where kids were playing football, killing dozens.

So, Israel has offered to treat the children injured from the strike on the Ukrainian hospital, while they kill a child every 10 minutes in Gaza, where half the population are kids.
Truly dystopian.

An apparent Israeli airstrike on a school where displaced people were sheltering in Gaza has killed at least 19 people, Palestinian health officials say. apnews.com/article/israel-pa…

The Israeli military is using British-made weapons in its horrifying assault on Gaza.
Our new government must end this complicity and uphold the rights of the Palestinian people.
That's why next week I will table an amendment to the King's Speech to ban arms sales to Israel.

it’s so surreal Ukraine and Gaza are happening at the same time because we get to witness right before our eyes which children’s lives actually matter and which don’t

Nothing to see here, just Doctors Without Borders saying Israel rejected their aid truck and they haven’t been able to bring medical supplies into Gaza for over two months.
Trucks carrying medical supplies denied entry into the #Gaza by the Israeli authorities on July 3 due to ongoing fighting in the south.
We have been unable to bring any medical supplies since the end of April.
Hospitals continue to grapple with acute shortages of supplies.
