We were nearly killed two days ago.
Settler-terrorist Tomer Liani bashed my head against the ground repeatedly, then the IDF and police blocked the ambulances and prevented hospitalisation.
All because we caught the settlers locking locking a gate to more than 20 Palestinian communities, trapping entire families.
We exposed Tomer Liani, Shimon Atia and Nevo Nadalski directly committing crimes against humanity in Masafer Yatta, and we were punished by the Israeli police and court for this.
Israeli state terrorism in the West Bank is at its peak, and the authorities are doing everything to keep Palestinian voices silent.

The Gaza Strip, Israel are bulldozing it, pouring sand over all the bodies then building on top of it.
While the world does nothing.

Conservatives challenge government estate donation
Local Conservatives have challenged the government's £1.9m donation to help conservation groups buy a vast upland estate.
The Wildlife Trusts and Northumberland Wildlife Trust are raising £30m to acquire the 9,500-acre Rothbury Estate in its entirety as part of plans to boost wildlife, restore bogs and promote nature-friendly farming.

👉🏿 I was born under a dictatorship and have spent a great deal of my adult life denouncing authoritarian regimes. I am deeply shocked to read the threatening statement issued by the Met Police UK. Threatening to arrest people for providing "logistical support" to peaceful demonstrators is the kind of threatening statement we are used to getting from the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship in Nicaragua. This is not what I expect from PM Andy Burnham’s Government. The UK is supposed to be a democracy, where freedom of speech is a pillar of society. Churchill’s words remind us that a true civilisation relies entirely on these liberties to maintain democratic accountability. Criminalising and proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is a shameful authoritarian overreach.

"Where does it end?"
Andreas Malm is an academic & one of the world’s leading climate scholars. The Labour govt has just banned him from coming to the UK to speak at a public event and academic conference. Outrageous.
And we're still being told that Burnham represents change.

Please plant a hawthorn! These native trees are wonderful for wildlife, supporting a wide range of species – including more than 300 insect species. The blossoms, berries and leaves are a good source of food for all sorts of creatures. More native trees:

Israel is the only society to have actually voted for their government to commit genocide. Even Germany didn't do that.

0.1% of people on the planet emit more CO2 than the poorest 3.5 billion people combined.
One year’s worth of emissions from the top 1% will result in an estimated 1.3 million excess deaths from extreme heat.
Just a few stats from Oxfam's incredible new report.
Natural disasters aren’t natural. A storm doesn’t decide who has insurance, savings or somewhere safe to go. People built the systems that leave others exposed. People can change them.

Please, don’t let my dream end just $500 away.💔
After three years of war, losing my home and stability, and enduring displacement, I’m still fighting to earn my master’s degree in Geomatics Engineering. But today, my dream is at risk because I’m still $500 short of my first-semester tuition fees.
I’ve come too far to give up now. I’m asking you, from the bottom of my heart, to help me take this final step toward a better future for me and my children.
Even $5 or $10 can bring me closer to my goal. Please, don’t scroll past. If you can’t donate, share this post so it can reach someone who can.🙏

💔 Who will be the first person to break the silence and end this painful silence?
I’m in Gaza, desperately seeking help for my hand treatment, but so far, no donations have come in.
Even a small donation could make a real difference. ❤️🇵🇸
Who will be the first to step forward? 🙏

So let me get this right. The Bell Review says that attitudes in Britain to Jewish people have *not changed* but there is increasing hostility to Israel.
And that translates to 'antisemitism is increasing'?

🚨 donate urgently and directly to the children of gaza! 💔🍞
👉 For immediate contribution: chuffed.org/project/help-the…
💔 In Gaza, children are not asking for toys, new clothes, or anything extraordinary.
They are asking for a piece of bread.
Imagine a mother waking up inside a displacement tent, surrounded by hungry children, knowing she has no bread to give them.
Imagine a little child waiting for hours, hoping that someone will arrive carrying food.
🍞 At Project Mohammed, we continue distributing bread directly to displaced families across Gaza, reaching children and mothers who have almost nothing left.
But the bread we deliver will eventually run out, and the hunger will remain.
💔 Every day, more children wake up hungry.
💔 Mothers divide a single piece of bread among several children.
💔 Families wait desperately for our distributions, hoping they will not return to their tents empty-handed.
No child should have to beg for bread just to survive.
We are a team of young people working directly inside Gaza. Despite the destruction, danger, and enormous difficulties, we continue reaching displaced families with our own hands.
But our resources are running out, and thousands of children are still waiting.
🚨 We urgently need your help to keep distributing bread.
Please donate. Please share. Please help us reach another hungry child.
Even a small contribution can help bring bread to a family that has nothing to eat.
🤍 Our deepest gratitude to:
❤️ William Menaker (@willmenaker)
❤️ Felix (@ByYourLogic)
❤️ Eyup Lovely (@eyuplovely)
❤️ Claire (@ZeroSuitCamus )
Your voices and kindness have helped us bring food and hope to families struggling to survive.
👉 Donate urgently: chuffed.org/project/help-the…
🍞 The bread we distribute cannot end the hunger these children face tomorrow.
Thousands of children are still waiting for their next piece of bread. Please don’t let them wait alone. 💔

Tonight, I’m going to sleep with one terrifying thought: Will I wake up tomorrow, and will I still have feeling in my hand? 💔
I pray that someone, somewhere, will see my plea and help me get the treatment I desperately need. I’m still $450 short. Please, I’m begging you—don’t let me lose the feeling in my hand because I couldn’t afford treatment. 🇵🇸🙏
