19 year old student says 'Free Palestine'
Antisemitic!
Musk backs Germany's AfD and antisemitic replacement theories. Buys Twitter so Nazis load at the top. Sieg Heils multiple times.
Give him the benefit of the doubt!
The @ADL has one job. But @JGreenblattADL can't do it.

Not good enough. Why was she not summonsed and informed that this either stops, or she leaves the country? @HFalconerMP
Speaking with Israeli Ambassador @TzipiHotovely today, I raised the UK’s grave concern at reports Kamal Adwan hospital in Gaza continues to come under fire. Israel must do much more to protect civilians, aid and health workers in Gaza. 1/2

10 years ago @ONECampaign fought for a UN agreement that 50% of aid should go to the poorest countries.
It’s going the other direction

"The Israelis are not idiots, they know exactly what their soldiers are doing."
US doctor Feroze Sidhwa shares the crimes he witnessed in Gaza, accusing the Israeli army of targeting Palestinian civilians.

CARE is devastated by the deaths of two of our colleagues from our valued partner organisation, @Juzoor, in Gaza - Dr. Ahmad Al-Najar and Ms. Laila Jneid, who were both killed by Israeli airstrikes.
Aid workers and civilians are NOT a target. We call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and for the UK Government to end all arms transfers to Israel.

A year ago today, doctors stood among the bodies of victims of the Al-Ahli blast, warning that if Israeli impunity continued, more attacks on Gaza’s hospitals would follow. Among them was surgeon Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a firsthand witness to the blast, whose testimony was overlooked. We’ve recorded it here: forensic-architecture.org/in…

This is @UNRWA Jabalia Health Centre in #Gaza
Continuous shelling, airstrikes & armed clashes in northern #Gaza have severely intensified over the past week, where over 400,000 people remain sheltering.
Jabalia Camp has been the most affected area, with reports of families trapped in areas of ongoing military operations. Humanitarian access to Jabalia continues to be denied.
Health facilities and workers are #NotATarget

🚨 HEARTWRENCHING: A will found beneath the rubble of Rasha, a child only 10 years old, who was killed by the Israeli army in #Gaza:
“Please don’t cry for me, as it would make me sad. I hope my clothes can go to those in need, and my accessories to Rahaf, Lana, and Batool. The bead boxes should go to Batool. As for my monthly allowance of 50 shekels, I want half to go to Rahaf and the other half to Ahmad. I’d like Batool to have my toys. Lastly, please don’t shout at my brother Ahmad. Please follow these wishes.”

It is frighteningly clear - today and everyday for the last year - that so-called international order, rules and norms are designed solely to protect white western lives and power, at the expense of everyone else.

It is hard to overstate how central this is — it is the Lebanese equivalent of bombing Westminster and Whitehall. The EU Delegation office is very close, the British embassy less than 5 minutes from that location.
🚨 Israel has just bombed the very centre of Beirut — Bachoura — just meters away from Lebanese Parliament and United Nations Regional Headquarters
🚨 No warnings were given and this is a strike in an area considered “safe”
🚨 They are retaliating to their failure in the South by bombing civilians in the capital

Great planning in these social housing apartments by Harquitectes in Catalonia
All apartments are one room deep, with four units sharing a core. This provides light and ventilation to all spaces

Stone barrel vaults provide thermal mass meaning energy needs are only 7.5 kWh/m2
The whole building was built by only 4 people!!!
Really excited that this is coming to Newham, and really proud of @burohappold's team who have been working on bringing this wonderful building to fruition for many years.
