Read this to fully understand- in her owns words what #ruthperry went through. These notes were found by her sister Julia Waters after her sister’s death. Warning this is powerful & distressing because it is so directly from Ruth Perry’s own thoughts bbc.co.uk/news/education-676…

As Hamas stormed the Be'eri kibbutz on Saturday, women used a mothers' WhatsApp group to voice their horror and disbelief. The constant stream of updates show how the attack unfolded and how the close-knit community supported one another. bbc.com/news/world-middle-ea…

Yesterday I was arrested by @HertsPolice whilst covering a protest on the M25. I showed my press card, and I was handcuffed almost immediately. My phone was snatched out of my hand. I was searched twice, held in a cell for 5 hours, and I wasn’t questioned whilst in custody.

The 1st casualty of war is time. Ask the young soldier at the front when the attack happened, or the old lady in the hospital bed when her home was shelled, and they look at you confused. Was it 24 hours ago, or 48? The days have become one, they tell you bbc.com/news/world-europe-60…
