There needs to be a ceasefire *and* a Palestinian state. Recognising Palestine isn’t a punishment for Israel. It’s about the Palestinian right to self-determination. Starmer’s approach suggests Palestinians can either have a ceasefire or a state—and that it is Israel that will make the decision.

Mahmoud Khalil’s wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla, gave birth to their first child today, a baby boy. In a statement, she said, “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud. ICE and the Trump administration have stolen these precious moments from our family…”
I welcomed our son into the world earlier today without Mahmoud by my side. Despite our request for ICE to allow Mahmoud to attend the birth, they denied his temporary release to meet our son. This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer.
Mahmoud remains unjustly detained in an ICE detention center over 1,000 miles away from his firstborn child. My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud. ICE and the Trump administration have stolen these precious moments from our family in an attempt to silence Mahmoud’s support for Palestinian freedom.
I will continue to fight every day for Mahmoud to come home to us. I know when Mahmoud is freed, he will show our son how to be brave, thoughtful, and compassionate, just like his dad.

So many liberal arguments right now take the form: ‘it will be *citizens* next’. Like, maybe they’ll come for people who really matter. If it works it works, I guess, but this says a lot about how Western countries have dehumanised migrants & regularised extrajudicial killings on international soil.
