I thought it was a core principle of Western liberalism (e.g. US Declaration of Independence) that it is people that have inalienable rights, not states or system of governance. And if a system of governance denies or violates people's rights, the people have the right to change it.

Three years on, Israel continues to asphyxiate #Gaza. With Israeli forces now occupying approximately 65 per cent of Gaza, the ‘Yellow Line’ is further restricting where Palestinians can live, putting people at risk of being shot and disrupting aid. www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-th...

She also claims to believe that God sees everything. That would surely include God noticing her Govt has been signing off F35 parts to Israel and God having arial view over a decimated Gaza 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m intrigued to know how she is certain that what she is doing is right.

Just listened to this in full. Mahmood playing dumb and it doesn’t wash. She knows that the support for PA isn’t simply an expression of ‘support for Palestinians’ it’s about the fact that PA tried to stop a genocide, which the UK Labour Govt is STILL complicit in through the sale of arms to Israel.

My experience of the left over 25 years? It's a fringe (albeit a loud one) that's indulgent of e.g. Hamas. For most of us, we focus on the UK & its allies because that's what we can affect with our work. We see condemnations of actors who are bad, but whose actions we can't affect, as mere posturing

🇵🇸 At least 92 Palestinians have died in Israeli torture prisons and military detention camps over the three years since the genocide began, according to a new report from the Palestinian Prisoners' Society and the Commission of Detainees' Affairs. 

That count covers only those whose identities have been confirmed. The fate of dozens more detainees from Gaza remains unknown due to enforced disappearance.

The report documents an escalating system of arrest, torture, starvation and denial of medical care that has led to killings inside prisons and camps. It also found:

➤ More than 26,000 arrests in the West Bank, including Jerusalem
➤ More than 800 women and 2,000 children arrested
➤ More than 3,100 Palestinians held in administrative detention without charge or trial, and 1,419 held as "unlawful combatants"
➤ Israel is holding the bodies of 100 Palestinians who died in custody

The groups also pointed to Israel's approval of a law allowing the execution of Palestinian prisoners, and to the growing use of "incitement" charges to arrest Palestinians over their speech, which they say has created a climate of fear and self-censorship.

With no independent oversight and the Red Cross still barred from visiting prisoners, the report says what is happening inside Israel's prisons "cannot be separated from the genocide."

🔗 Palestinian journalist Mujahed Al-Saadi documented his harrowing experience in Israeli detention two years after being arrested from his home in Jenin for Drop Site. Read our latest: "Cruelty, Deprivation, Indignity: My 22 Months in Israeli Prison" below.
