Dear Friends,
This is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS…
A little boy of 7 years of age who has only been eating GRASS for the last few weeks????!!!!!!
How absolutely unconscionable
are the supporters of this ‘war’ where the main victims are LITTLE CHILDREN!!!
Shame on the Western media who fail to cover these crimes against humanity. Shame on the Western governments and politicians who are ALL complicit in preventing death by starvation in Gaza!

Dear Friends,
For the last six months we’ve been witnessing a situation where totally innocent children, women and men are being butchered and killed in their THOUSANDS…
And the British government continues to supply even more weapons. Gaza is completely decimated - How much more killing, wounding and destruction will be enough to satisfy them???
I’m so sickened and more disillusioned with power brokers and politicians than I’ve ever been in my life. Not that I’ve ever held any of them in high regard.

Dear Friends,
A HORROR STORY FOR CHILDREN IN GAZA…
James Elder (@james_unicef ) has worked as a spokesperson for UNICEF for TWENTY years and says this is the WORST thing he’s ever seen. The ICU wards are FILLED with THOUSANDS of little children, like 5 year old Selma.
Many of them don’t survive, despite the BEST efforts of doctors and nurses…This is absolutely intolerable!!!! The harming, wounding and killing of children is completely abhorrent.
Stand in solidarity with humanity - decency - kindness and compassion!!!
Call this atrocity out and KEEP CALLING IT OUT!!!
Share this clip please!
And call for the release of the hostages too!!!
Stop the atrocious wounding and killing of CHILDREN in Gaza!!!

Dear Friends,
Six months since Oct 7th and the nightmare continues…
I knew the consequences of the Hamas attacks would be severe, but I never envisioned the full extent as to how it would all play out.
Each and every human life is precious. No child should EVER have to undergo this level of extreme violence on ANY side.
Let’s define Crimes Against Humanity!!! Do they mean ANYTHING whatsoever??
World leaders are all complicit.
We must ask ourselves…
Who is benefitting from this continuous barbarity??
Children are not “Hamas terrorists”.

Dear Friends,
This ongoing nightmare in Gaza is utterly beyond heartbreaking, disgraceful and appalling. To witness these two innocent young teenagers enduring this kind of suffering fills me with a mixture of outrage and despair that they have been victimised by this atrocious ‘war’ along with countless thousands of other children.. who are NOT terrorists!
And to those who accuse me of so much nonsense.. I want to make it VERY CLEAR that I want to see the safe return of ALL hostages. That has ALWAYS been my message.

Dear Friends
A war against ‘humanity’ itself….
The Aid vehicles were DELIBERATELY targeted : There were CLEAR SIGNS on the roofs.
This clearly sends a message to ALL the NGO’s that they risk being deliberately targeted in trying to deliver life-saving aid to tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians.
Bear in mind that two thirds of mortalities have been women and children.
So what does Netanyahu’s victory’ look like????
The total eradication of the Palestinian people and all their land???
Certainly seems like it.

Dear Friends
I’m sure most of you now know about this attack by now.
It would seem as if this sends a message to every NGO trying to feed, heal, support and attend to the needs of the citizens of Gaza - That they totally risk their lives in trying to carry out their work.
I have never witnessed ANYTHING like this before.
On such a scale and level of brutality..A dark stain on humanity. #ceasefirenow #ceasefire #stopthegenocide

Dear Friends,
NO WORDS LEFT TO DESCRIBE
The scenes of abject destruction of Al-Shifa hospital are beyond description.
I could try to use words like .. Sub-human, Depraved, Appalling, Catastrophic, Sadistic, Inhumane, Barbaric, Brutal, Horrific.. but they absolutely do not suffice.
And then we have Starvation,, Displacement, Bombardment,, Dehydration, Terror, Trauma, Infection, Torture, Abuse, Carnage and Suffering beyond measure…
Each adjective describes aspects of what is actually taking place in Gaza.
Yet world leaders not only are SILENT.. but COMPLICIT in all this atrocity.
Now Al - Jazeera is being banned by Netanyahu. The one news outlet to report on what is really happening on the ground.
THIS SEVENTH LEVEL OF HELL MUST STOP!!!!
WE MUST CONTINUE CALLING FOR THE END TO THIS OBSCENE GENOCIDE!!!!!

Dear Friends,
I’m sharing a statement from the renowned film director.. Steven Spielberg, regarding the current situation, as I completely concur with what he says in this clip.
As each day passes without ceasefire… without access to any kind of safety, nutrition, ‘normal’ life of ANY kind for everyone trapped in Gaza.. I have to TRULY wonder how on EARTH this brutal,continuous carnage is allowed and facilitated. It feels like a political
endorsement of psychosis.
Serial killers at the helm.
Please share Steven Spielberg’s statement!

Dear Friends,
At least 13,000 children have been killed in Gaza since the beginning of this war!!
And now children, toddlers and babies are dying of ‘deliberate’ starvation. Let the aid trucks in.
Feed the people of Gaza NOW!!
And OF COURSE free the hostages!!
The one thing I continuously call for is the CESSATION of war and violence.
It’s ESSENTIAL that we keep calling for this!!!
Don’t give up!!!
And once again.
I abhor anti - Semitism, just as I abhor racism and violence.
Calling for ‘PEACE’ can NEVER equate with this slur.

Dear Friends,
While the killing machine relentlessly carries on in Gaza, there are skilled medics on the ground working to attend to the needs of wounded and traumatised children, women and men.
Please listen to the words of
Dr Tanya Haj Hassan who selflessly and courageously volunteered two weeks of her time, effort and expertise working there.
Can you even begin to grasp the scale of this nightmare in all its terrible destruction? BILLIONS of dollars invested in this abomination…just to destroy and ruin millions of innocent lives.
This is NOT NORMAL.

Dear Friends,
I’m beyond horrified..
Each and every child is a precious son or daughter to a mother and father and extended family.
HOW MANY MORE CHILDREN will be wounded or killed before
this nightmare stops??????
HOW MANY MORE CHILDREN WILL BE ORPHANED ??????
HOW MANY MORE FAMILIES ENTIRELY DESTROYED????
The Israeli war machine is ignoring UNSC, International Law and Geneva Conventions. Their intention is total destruction of the entire Gaza Strip.
