58% of the UK public are in favour of the UK ending arms sales to Israel, & ending complicity with Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Only 18% opposed. This from a @caabu.bsky.social & @medicalaidpal.bsky.social poll conducted by @yougov.co.uk in August 2024 caabu.org/news/press-r...

These are just some of the reasons why I've added my name. The contempt & hatred for Palestinian learning, education and culture, & the fear of Palestinians holding this in such esteem is stark. This attack cannot be set aside from scholasticide in Gaza. www.caabu.org/news/news/ov...

The UK government could and should have secured his release, and it should not have come to this. Increasingly frail after 137 days of hunger strike, time is running out, as Laila’s health continues to deteriorate. Alaa Abd el Fattah must be released. www.instagram.com/p/DGA3xbAisb...

They applaud themselves for the Ukraine scheme where over 200,000 Ukrainians came to the UK. Successive governments maintain their hostility to refugees, including pitting different groups against one another, in this instance Palestinians and Ukrainians. www.instagram.com/reel/DF-spiR...

They are explicit in how very differently they view Palestinians as they do Ukrainians, that if only 6 Palestinians getting sanctuary in the UK are subjected to this dehumanisation and demonisation, what does that say? www.instagram.com/reel/DF-spiR...

Mahmoud Muna of the Educational Bookshop co-edited Daybreak in Gaza together with @matthewteller.com, published by @saqibooks.bsky.social. A heartbreaking, beautiful anthology of many writers from Gaza, including many killed by Israel. saqibooks.com/books/saqi/d... bsky.app/profile/jose...

The attacks on learning across the West Bank (inc occupied East Jerusalem), the demolition of schools, the tear gas filling classrooms, detained school children, those that are attacked, injured, killed by Israeli occupation forces & settlers. Daily brutal Israeli occupation & apartheid.
