This requires an immediate explanation because right now it looks like the UK is complicit in a massacre in Rafah.

"My biggest fear while there [in Gaza] was being killed by the Israelis" - Professor Nizam Memode recounting his recent period in Gaza working in one of the hospitals. He describes the multiple and deliberate targeting of UN convoys by Israeli soldiers. This is horrifying.

This whole Maccabi Tel Aviv - Aston Villa issue should be a case study in the manipulative use of allegations of antisemitism. It turns out the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans stemmed from intelligence shared by the European Policing Network to Westmidlands Police

Why are you paying Katy less than £30k a year when you literally have the option to pay her up to £37,466 per year? She deserves it - especially if she is going to be subject to public postings like this from you in an effort to exploit her for cheap political points on austerity

In 1930's and 1940's Germany, the Nazis literally claimed that Jews were being moved for 'safe resettlement to the east', and that they were being transferred to 'Labor camps' where they'd be 'safe' and 'have work' to do... In the Rwandan Genocide, there was Operation

I've not seen a single media outlet in the UK, Europe, or US report on the killing of this little girl by the Israeli military. Not a single political leader has spoken of this incident. No emotive interviews have been done with her family. No condemnations have been issued.

Last night, Israeli forces fatally shot Laila Mohammad Ayman Khatib, 2, while she ate dinner with her family in their home near Jenin. Soldiers shot four bullets through the living room window, one of which struck Laila in the back of the head. Read more: dci-palestine.org/israeli_forces…

If your only defence is to compare Gaza genocide to... *checks notes* other genocides then you've kinda already lost the argument, Karen. Also which one of those genocides that you listed do you think is 'worse' than the others? Is it Rwanda? Perhaps Cambodia? Or Darfur?

Document containing the UNRWA allegations is absolutely scandalous for multiple reasons - but the most striking is that if this is the 'dossier' that various governments used to justify suspending funds then it should make waves politically speaking because there is NO evidence..

Hey @JuliaHB1 you're not very used to brown people speaking up for themselves are you? That is evidently why you did an islamophobic slur toward @MustafaBarghoti with your comment about letting women speak... People like you do so much harm & peddle so much racism. Vile.

It is now appropriate for me to announce that I have raised this with the @metpoliceuk as an instance of racist hate crime and act of vandalism. It is my hope that Yoseph Haddad, should he still be in London, will be placed under arrest and charged for his incitement, racism and

Luke Akehurst is one of the most horrific Islamophobes and anti-Palestinian racists in the Labour Party. He heads up an organisation called 'We Believe in Israel' as its director and has lobbied on behalf of Israel for over a decade. He is an apologist for Apartheid Israel.

Important yet very straight forward question from @BrendanOHaraMP: Does bombing a hospital and having patients on IV drips burned to death in their beds constitute a war crime? UK government minister blusters and is unable to give a direct answer to this question.
