Really, truly hope that the ceasefire holds - but this must not be the end of demanding accountability and redress for the genocide that has been perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinians, and the material and ideological support our governments lent it to do so.

Sickened at news that a man in his 20s has died at Brook House immigration detention centre. Private company Serco runs Brook House for profit & conditions were last year found to be degrading with inappropriate use of force & humiliating abuse #r4today www.bbc.com/news/article...

Utterly horrified by this. Netanyahu’s government is emboldened by the prospect of a Trump victory, and not remotely scared of consequences from the Biden administration either. Meanwhile, the people of Gaza are in acute, terrible danger.
