The UN has only confirmed what we already knew: Israel is committing genocide.
64,000+ killed, whole families wiped out. Yet UK Govt rolls out the red carpet for Israel’s president & Starmer stays silent.
Labour - this is a genocide. Are you going to continue to ignore that?

Sadiq Khan calling out Zack's use of "social media" instead of calling out the genocide in Mayor's Question Time really is the perfect analogy for why Labour are quite so astoundingly unpopular.

890 people have been arrested for demanding an end to genocide in Gaza.
To call them “terrorists” is beyond disgusting.
Shame on you and this Labour government for criminalising solidarity with the Palestinian people, while continuing to sell arms to Israel that fuel genocide.

Mike Higgins, who is blind and wheelchair bound, has joined the Parliament Square protest, to once again oppose genocide and the Palestine Action ban.
He, and over a thousand others, face a 'terror arrest' because of the draconian proscription of a direct action group.

An overwhelming majority of members of the world’s leading genocide scholars’ association has backed a resolution stating that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of the crime.
