Unprecedentedly strong intervention by ICRC. “Palestinians, she says, have been stripped of human dignity. International humanitarian law is being hollowed out. What is happening in Gaza, she says, surpasses any acceptable legal, moral and humane standard” www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv...

Why does this sound familiar?

Decent politicians need to push back against Farage's comments on Lucy Connelly. "millions of mothers after Southport feeling exactly the same way"? No. Millions did NOT feel the need to call for mass murder of asylum seekers & we simply cannot allow the idea to be normalised.

Nice one.

"No Other Land", the documentary depicting Israeli attempts to ethnically cleans the villages of Masafer Yata in the South Hebron hills, won an Oscar on March 2025. The villages' demolition and settler takeover have intensified since. In this rate, the villages will not be there by March 2026.

The Israeli airforce and bulldozers demolished 100 multi-storey buildings in Gaza over the last 72 hours.

A three-year-old brought me a bit of black paper. "Look", she said, "I found a piece of night!" We're all born poets, but slowly we forget.

Stay focused. This is not about us. This is not about 3rd rate musicians on the make or Israeli flag-waving loyalists or tricolour balaclavas. This is about 150 men, women, & children being killed daily.

Oh dear God. You begin to see how ordinary Germans tolerated Jews being sent to concentration camps, don’t you?

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

Just rereading Shadi Bartsch’s stunning translation of The Aeneid, and just realised that the classic epics - The Iliad, Odyssey, Divine Comedy, Paradise Lost - are all about asylum and exile, expulsion and migration - our common historic heritage
