27 people — including a priest, professor and health workers — were arrested today under terrorism laws.

Their crime? Peacefully holding signs opposing genocide.

This is how we sleepwalk into fascism.

In December 2023, the Israeli President Isaac Herzog signed an artillery shell before it was fired to massacre Palestinians in Gaza.

He belongs in the dock at The Hague, not platformed on the BBC.

Today, more starving Palestinians were lured into “aid distribution sites”.

They went in hope that they might find a bag of flour.

They were gunned down and murdered instead.

What utter inhumanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening.

That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk.

Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

‘Pacific, temperate, egalitarian, avowedly non-violent, the epitome of unimpeachable, quietist radicalism: if the police can do this to the Quakers, what could they do to you?’

Sickening, evil, totally in line with everything in No Other Land. The final footage sees a settler shoot co-director Basel Adra's cousin point-blank in the stomach with a rifle. An Oscar can't stop hate crimes

An often-terrifying, overwhelming, intense, combustible screen presence like no other; an auteur-actor par excellence. RIP Gene Hackman.

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps.

This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]
