Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
Israel just killed him.

Gaza is a largely flat piece of land bordering to 2 countries with reasonable infrastructure. So we’re going to drop aid from the air ffs.
Air drops? Should be demanding road access! Gaza situation is intolerable
Starmer suggests UK will play role in Gaza aid air drops
His comments come as he faces calls from 221 cross-party MPs for the UK to recognise a Palestinian state.

The world's most famous medical NGO concludes Israel is committing genocide.
It joins a consensus of genocide scholars, including in Israel, and NGOs like Amnesty International.
No politician or journalist can claim "I did not know at the time!" to evade future justice.
