She is stumbling through a building bombed by Israel. She is 5 years old. She manages to get out, but her mother and her sisters are burnt to death. There should be more and louder outrage from countries, from prime ministers and from presidents #gaza #genocide #neveragain

You cannot claim you did not know what Israel would do. It was screamingly clear from the very start. And if you are complicit in Israel's crimes, you will be held to account.

The Israeli state just murdered Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat. One of the finest journalists on earth, his courageous work was instrumental in understanding the depravity of Israel’s genocide. That’s why Israel killed him. Never forget Hossam Shabat

Will Starmer, like other European leaders, offer words of support for Zelenskyy after the playground bully and his attack dog shouted him down in their “cherished Oval Office?” Nah, he’ll be on the phone to Charlie, getting things ready for the state visit.
