As winter arrives, over one million Gazans lack shelter, with 92% of housing destroyed by Israel.
In violation of the ceasefire, Netanyahu continues to restrict the entry of tents and other aid, including food.
The U.S. must demand that Israel allow full humanitarian access NOW.

Lack of tents, food and warm clothes leaves Gazans exposed ahead of winter

This friendly woman was arrested alongside her partner for the THIRD TIME under the Terrorism Act for simply holding a cardboard sign.
She confidently explains that “the Royal Courts of Justice will sort that out next week” as she is taken away in her motorised wheelchair.

How absurd is it that people in the UK are still being arrested under “terrorism” charges for supporting Palestine Action, a non-violent group that disrupted the weapons industry, yet you can support the occupation in the UK, a pro-violent group committing terrorism daily, and be completely fine.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

Lots of people are angry - and they have every right to be.
The chancers in Reform want that anger directed at refugees and other vulnerable groups, not the greedy landlords, tax avoiders and billionaires actually making life so difficult for everyone else.
