No Other Land depicts the horrifying violence Palestinians in the West Bank endure under apartheid.
Yesterday, its co-director Hamdan Ballal was beaten in his home by settlers before being detained by Israeli forces.
People applauded Hamdan. Now they are silent. Free Hamdan.

Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part.
Turns out those scenes were almost bang on.
The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

Labour's latest attack on welfare is a disgraceful assault on the dignity of the sick and disabled.
If the government really wanted to crack down on people "gaming the system", they would go after tax dodgers hoarding our country's wealth.

Israel's bombardment of Gaza continues despite ICC arrest warrants issued against Benjamin Netanyahu for crimes against humanity.
The situation in Palestine is unimaginably desperate. The UK and US governments must suspend arms sales to Israel now.

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.
If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.

Our political leaders are adding fuel to the fire of war and gambling with people’s lives for political gain.
The government must withdraw the use of British-supplied missiles in Ukraine and do all in their power to bring lasting peace.
