I am so tired….
People like me speak out because children are dying
Not Israeli children
Not Palestinian children
Just children. Innocent. Terrified. Gone.
We’re not politicians. We don’t have power
We’re just doing our best to call out a genocide
This isn’t about “taking sides”
It’s about taking a stand for humanity and for the basic principle that no child should be bombed, burned alive or starved
So when we speak out and are met with accusations of antisemitism, and
when our grief is twisted, our intent questioned, and when we are called terrorist sympathisers because we can’t bear to see another lifeless little body
It’s not just offensive
It’s f*cking depressing
We’re not driven by hate
We’re driven by horror
And we’re using the only tools we have - our words, our platforms, and our refusal to look away
Because if we don’t speak now,
we become the silence that history will condemn.
580 fragile infants at Nasser Hospital, Gaza, are dying NOW for lack of formula milk.
Israel is preventing a drop of it from getting in, fearing that... Hamas men will drink it all.
And the West sits by idly, twiddling its blood-stains thumbs.

Israel bans the importation into Gaza of anaesthetics. Hence, the scores of children who are amputated daily, following Israel's bombings, are put to the knife without anaesthesia - if they are lucky to be taken to a functioning medical facility and not be bombed when in it.
- 44% of verified dead are children
- 26% are women (Acc to UN)
Is there any point even posting this stuff anymore? Beyond words.

Today entering Gaza City. The ruins of life. A donkey laying dead attached to a cart with someone’s possessions. Clusters of people crossing to the South, with too much to walk with under the sun and given the length of the journey. A man carrying a white flag in front of his family. Women about to collapse, dragging bags over the ground, walking backwards, stopping and closing their eyes. A man on the ground in underwear, with soldiers near the checkpoint. A woman presumably crossing with him, stalled, distraught, in desperation. They passed by these ruins. #Gaza#CeasefireNOW
Channel 4 and Sky have corrected their deliberate piece of misinformation. BBC stays silent and removed the news item, so as not to have to, correct themselves.
Imagine Russian football fans in a foreign city:
- Interrupted a minute’s silence in memory of dead flood victims with chants in support of killing Ukrainian children
- Rampaged through the city
- Ripped down Ukrainian flags
- Chanted “death to Ukrainians”
- Attacked local residents
Imagine then, when local residents attacked them, they were presented as victims of a racist pogrom.
Dear @Keir_Starmer,
Is the burning body of a 19 yr old boy not enough?
Is the beheaded body of a 3 month old baby with her nappy still on not enough?
Is the 6 year old girl being shot at in the head not enough?
Is the mother cradling a shroud of her child not enough?
Is the father desperately scraping the earth with his fingernails to get to his children buried underneath not enough?
What more will it take for you to stop sending arms to Israel & do the right thing?!
Is this not enough?!
Encouraging to hear that people who have been exploited in the worst way are now a priority for the gov’t and they can have confidence their situation will be addressed. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
I imagine that Sky News will similarly report on the identities of those burned alive last night at Al Aqsa hospital, not to mention the civilians killed by Israeli strikes on Beirut.
Because if we don't see photos of those killed by the IDF, or learn their names, what can we infer about the value placed by British media on Arab lives?
BREAKING: The four IDF soldiers killed in a Hezbollah airstrike on an Israeli military base in the north of the country have been named.

Israel killed hundreds of people in north Gaza overnight. It was one of the biggest massacres of the war. There is not even a mention of it on @BBCNews.
