Israel has assassinated almost 270 Palestinian journalists.
This is aimed at suppressing coverage of its livestreamed genocide and creating a media blackout ahead of its plan to commit further atrocities. Take action now.

Palestinian self-determination is an inalienable right, not a bargaining chip.
While children starve to death, Keir Starmer refuses to expel the Israeli ambassador, impose full trade sanctions, enforce a full arms embargo or end surveillance flights.
It’s Labour’s genocide too.

Being publicly against babies heads getting blown off can now be considered an arrestable offence under anti-terror legislation. That's where we are.
Arwa, do any memories stand out from your times in Gaza?
Arwa Damon: "A mother said I don't know what to do about my son. He's 5 & every night he screams.. & he rocks back & forth pulling his hair out & he's been doing this ever since he saw his baby sisters head blown off"

If you are not concerned by the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation because you think it doesn’t impact you, you are wrong.
This is an authoritarian abuse of power by the government & it curtails all of our civil liberties #r4today

On LBC @zoejardiniere.bsky.social lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning Palestine Action as terrorists as an abuse of state power.
