Dear Friends,
Here is a direct message from Holocaust and Genocide scholars! Please take a moment to watch and listen to what they say. Half a million people in Gaza are facing hunger, starvation, acute malnutrition, illness, disease and death.
Three thousand trucks carrying food aid are waiting at the borders, but the Israeli blockade is stopping it.
The international community MUST KEEP DEMANDING that aid be allowed to enter!!

Dear Friends,
Every day that passes brings up more and more atrocity.
The latest being Palestinians being herded like animals into hideous human cages… like animals, under the burning sun.
Everything is viscous, brutal and torturous.
The world watches and does NOTHING to stop all these atrocities. For 600 days there has been a resounding SILENCE from politicians, media…yet PEOPLE around continue to call for permanent ceasefire and an END to these atrocious war crimes.
Yesterday Netanyahu stated that there is no starvation in Gaza.???!!!!
The sky is green and pigs can fly. We all know a lie when we see it. So distorted - disgraceful and disgusting!!!!
STOP THIS GENOCIDE NOW!!!!

Dear Friends,
I’m supporting this open letter regarding the @kingsplacelondon multi - arts concert venue in King’s Cross - London, who plan to host the ‘Defence in Space’ conference, in October this year, sponsored by Lockheed Martin - the world’s largest arms dealer.
This decision runs in complete opposition to the mission statement for their ‘Earth Unwrapped’ series to “bring artists together to explore our wounded planet and how collectively we can seek healing.”
We request
1. Cancel the October 2025 conference
2. Make a public statement explaining their decision to accept business related to the arms industry.
3. ⁠Reassure the artistic community that future events at Kings Place will not be subsidised by blood money, and artists will not have to share a stage with war profiteers.

Please join me and sign the petition

Dear Friends,
I’m sharing this post from @wizard_bisan1 , who shares that FORTY people were killed by an attack on a very crowded school where they were taking shelter. Among them were THREE of her cousins, who were children!
I CANNOT for the life of me COMPREHEND how this EVIL GENOCIDE is being facilitated and allowed to take place!!
Each day it just carries on tegardless!!!! The fact that FORTY lives have been bombed and burned in one building is SHOCKING ENOUGH… but that this has been continuously happening for TWENTY MONTHS is utterly abhorrent!!!
How can ANYONE - MAN - WOMAN or CHILD endure this obscene level of torture and destruction without going completely MAD????!!! Beloved beautiful Bisan… hundreds of thousands of hearts are breaking for you and your people right now!!!
We are OUTRAGED by this!!!!!
STOP THIS GENOCIDE NOW!!!!!! IT WILL NEVER BE ANTISEMITIC TO CALL FOR AN END TO THIS CARNAGE!!!!

Dear Friends,
It’s almost impossible to comprehend the level of sheer barbarism being inflicted upon the Palestinian people. It has taken 19 MONTHS for these politicians to FINALLY take a stand against this horrific genocide.
Somewhat ironic, it must be said.. Too little TOO LATE!
I am personally APPALLED by their hypocrisy in that they have supported and help pay for the carnage they now appear to take a stand against.
ACTION - NOT WORDS is what is needed here!!!!
STOPPING the slaughter and ethnic cleansing IMMEDIATELY!!
DEEPLY ASHAMED of these morally bankrupt so called leaders!!!
CEASEFIRE NOW!!!!

Dear Friends,
After 19 months of RELENTLESS bombardment, including the cutting off of food, fuel and medical aid since early March, the UK, France and Canada are now threatening to take ‘concrete’ actions if Israel doesn’t stop its renewed military action.
Meanwhile operation Gideon’s Chariots is doubling down towards what Netanyahu describes as ‘victory’.
Meanwhile the UN warns that 14,000 babies could die in Gaza, without receiving aid over the next 48 hours.

Dear Friends,
I’m SO PROUD of every single one of the thousands of beautiful caring folk who showed up on the streets of London to protest against the horrendous genocide taking place in Gaza yesterday!
You are ALL on the right side of history!
SHAME on the BBC for your total lack of coverage.
SHAME on the media and the politicians who defend genocide by ignoring it!!!

Dear Friends,
If you have ANY sense of ‘humanity’ these terrible scenes should leave you feeling outraged - appalled and shaken to the core!!!
A Palestinian man, standing in a scene of abject destruction, holds the severed head of a young woman in a plastic bag.. He explains that the bombs are so powerful that they actually blow people’s heads off.
I feel sickened and disgusted that ANYONE - politicians - media - weapons manufacturers - could ALL take part in creating and carrying out these grotesque events.
An all time low in terms of humanity. Absolutely horrendous!!!
Shame on the entire world for doing NOTHING to stop this!!!!!!

Dear Friends,
I can hardly take this in…
The PULVERISING of Gaza and her people!!!!
This is SO utterly perverse and WE are paying for it with tax dollars, pounds and euros.
I don’t want to believe the world is an evil place..but what more proof do you need??
I’m SO ASHAMED that human beings can be so barbaric..
The arms manufacturers, the politicians and so-called leaders, the media - complicit in silence.. EVERY PART of this killing machine is responsible for creating this living hell!!!

Dear Friends,
This terrible scene is so profoundly harrowing..yet
I doubt you’ll see any coverage on ANY Western news reports..
Thousands of babies and children continue to be killed, wounded, starved, burned and traumatised in Gaza and the coverage is ‘minimal’ if anything.
It is all SO heinously dark and soul crushing. I personally refuse to be silent.. That refusal to ‘normalise’ what we know to be evil and antithetical to humanity is a test of what you actually stand for in life!
All children should have rights and protection not to be bombed, buried under the rubble of their homes, shot at, orphaned, tortured, harmed in ANY way!!!!
