I support Palestine Action. I hate all forms of violence. I wish no harm on anyone. I just want a kinder, fairer, greener world. Apparently this makes me a terrorist. But I am the opposite of a terrorist.

As always, @rachelshabi.bsky.social is so good. This pointing the finger of antisemitism at every criticism of Israel is so damaging because there are people who should be allies who now will not hear it when we call out REAL antisemitism- to them it’s all a smear. & meanwhile Gazans are murdered.

100 years ago today, Tony Benn was born. This is from 2009 when he defied the BBC’s ban on a humanitarian appeal for Palestine. For 77 years, Israel has killed & displaced Palestinians & the BBC continues to dehumanise them. Benn saw this injustice clearly & stood against it 🇵🇸

Every time the world attention is turned towards Trump's antics, or any other distraction, Israel uses the opportunity to ratchet up the genocide of Gaza and ethnic cleansing of West Bank. PS I know "ethnic cleansing" started out as a euphemism, but is now understood as full crime against humanity.

The way things that would have been major stories in the early days of the assault on Gaza have become background noise and ‘normal’ is part of the moral stain this has become on the world. Babies freezing to death? A mere bullet-point below another reporting journalists killed outside a hospital.

A baby girl has frozen to death in Gaza, the third to die from the cold, in Gaza’s tent camps in recent days, doctors said. The father of three-week-old Sila, Mahmoud al-Faseeh, wrapped her in a blanket to try to keep her warm in their tent in the Muwasi area outside the town of Khan Younis, but it was not enough, he told the Associated Press.
