Sanctioning two of Israel’s extremist ministers is welcome, but must go further. As many have highlighted, inc Parliamentarians in this letter, more needed to stop genocide in Gaza & pledged intentions to ethically cleanse Palestinians inc in the West Bank www.caabu.org/news/news/96...

At @caabu.bsky.social we've taken 161 British parliamentarians to Palestine since 1997 incl current Cabinet members & ministers, party leaders & chairs of select committees. Such delegations are vital, so little wonder at attempts to deny them meeting Palestinians www.instagram.com/p/DIRIyMSCqv...

I spoke with my friend Hassan about living in Homs in 2010 aged 23. I never realised how this time there would define my future. I hold Syria & Syrian friends very dear, hoping for better, for true freedom, justice & accountability for all Syrians. Please listen: open.spotify.com/episode/0ihX...

British-Egyptian writer, Alaa Abd el Fattah is still unjustly imprisoned in Egypt. Alaa’s mother Laila is on day 137 of her hunger strike. Time is running out. Keir Starmer & David Lammy must secure his release. A privilege for us at @caabu.bsky.social to join her protest at Downing St.

A Palestinian family of 6 in Gaza, scapegoated & demonised by our political leaders after being given refuge in the UK after enduring Israel’s genocide. UK complicity in this genocide with its arms supplies & apologies, worsened by cruel dehumanisation. I'm ashamed and appalled.

Ahmad Muna was released earlier today, and Mahmoud Muna in the last hour - both under house arrest and other restrictive conditions, though the charges against them are obviously fabricated. Even the Israeli judge recognised that the police have no case. When will our complicit governments act?

We called for solidarity when Hungary's govt targeted bookshops over queer stock, & again when feminist bookshops were targeted in the UK, & we relied on solidarity when our own booksellers were harassed into closing: Book lovers must stand together against persecution of ALL book workers!

Palestinian booksellers detained in handcuffs by Israel, Mahmoud & Ahmed Muna of The Educational Bookshop in occupied Jerusalem. This can't be set aside from Israel's scholasticide, destruction of libraries, schools, universities in Gaza. The relentless assault to erase Palestinian life & learning

Seeing footage of booksellers in handcuffs is shocking. One of the confiscated book was children’s colouring book, From the River to the Sea. Israel is now waging war on colouring books. I -

Our friend Mahmoud Muna has been arrested, he runs bookshops, wonderful places of curiosity and knowledge. With love and solidarity to the Muna family x www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

We – Mahmoud and Ahmad's friends and colleagues in the UK – are in touch with the family. We have no further news. This is an entirely inexcusable and illegitimate act

The relentless brutality and cruelty of Israeli apartheid and occupation continues, with the forcible displacement and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and demolition of their homes, communities and livelihoods in Khalet al-Daba, Masafer Yatta. Palestinians endure this day in day out.
