Like so many people, I’ve been experiencing a kind of existential despair since reading about the recent amplified burnings of the Amazon rain forest.. I suspect the damage we are doing as humans is irreversible and the thought of that is intolerable. #amazonia

Dear Friends,
Imagine being caught in Gaza in this situation. Damned if you do - damned if you don’t.
Stay and be killed or move AGAIN.. They say - to the South, where there is NOTHING but hundreds of thousands of tents.. being randomly targeted, burned to blackened ash..with families sheltering inside.
The genocidal intention has been clearly stated - Netanyahu’s ‘Amalek’. Armoured carriers filled with tons of explosives are brought into residential areas to be blown up by robots.. killing and maiming everything within their radius. The constant murderous droning of reconnaissance planes flying overhead..looking out for potential targets night and day.
The ricochet crackshot of bullets.. Bone shaking blasts from the demolition of massive high rise buildings as they collapse into the ground. They say - every Palestinian is a terrorist.. the babies and children included.
I cannot think of ANYTHING more grotesque, more sadistic, more brutal, more psychotic… more painful.

Dear Friends,
If you are a mother or father…
Look at these precious children’s eyes. Look at their little faces, numb with the shock and trauma of what they’ve just undergone. Can you even imagine how it would feel if they were YOUR children..????
How DARE ANYONE ABUSE THEM LIKE THIS!!!!
Why should ANY CHILD be forced to endure the horrors of this heinous GENOCIDE.
How could ANY sane adult human being justify or endorse this hell? Do they not deserve to live SAFE and PROTECTED lives???!!!!
I have seen photographs of BUTCHERED CHILDREN’s BODIES today that are too visceral and raw to show here. It is FAR FAR WORSE than you can possibly imagine.
So I have to ask…
KIER STARMER former human rights advocate - David Lammy - Yvette Cooper.
This is all done on YOUR WATCH. Yet you have decent people being LOCKED UP for wearing T - shirts!????
SHAME ON YOU!!!!!

Dear Friends…
TWO MILLION PEOPLE IN GAZA ARE WAITING TO DIE RIGHT NOW.
Every single Palestinian in Gaza is faced with an impossible decision, either to stay in the North of the city and be killed by the invading Israeli army, or to move South and die there.
There are NO SAFE ZONES IN GAZA!!!!!

Dear Friends,
These last two years have been a learning curve.
I’ve discovered that it REALLY IS POSSIBLE for political leaders to GASLIGHT and LIE in order to manipulate the populations of entire nations.
I hadn’t realised how effective this methodology actually is…
So now that the word FAMINE has been officially given credence, soon the whole world will be able to freely use the word - GENOCIDE to describe what REALLY is taking place in Gaza. By the time the British government decide it’s safe to announce this…most Gazans will be DEAD!

@savechildrenuk - Threshold for famine has now officially been reached and declared by the IPC in Gaza.
Famine occurs when a country has such a severe food shortage that its population faces acute malnutrition, starvation, or death.
One of the three criteria for famine is that at least 30% of children are acutely malnourished
In Gaza, well over 100 Palestinian children have died because of starvation. They are being starved by design by Israeli authorities.
We have been warning about this impending tragedy for months. We knew this would happen; our political leaders can’t say they didn’t know this would happen.
We have been blocked by Israeli authorities from getting a single truck of aid into Gaza since the 2nd of March.
All available evidence indicates that the Government of Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war, and as a tool of occupation.
The solution is simple, and it can happen instantly. Israel must end its siege, open all land crossings and allow the full and unimpeded flow of aid.
THE UK GOVERNMENT CANNOT STAND BY WHILE GAZA’S CHILDREN ARE STARVED IN PLAIN SIGHT. It must use every lever at its disposal to prevent this!!
This includes suspending all arms transfer to Israel, including components for F-35 fighter jets, and holding Israel accountable for the harm inflicted on children. Until then, the UK Government will be complicity in these horrors.
I urge you to go to @savechildrenuk - sign the petition to take action! Link in my stories also

Dear Friends,
I realise there are people out there who disagree with this…
They feel they have a justifiable reason to create this GENOCIDAL hell on earth for almost 2 years in Gaza, as well as many decades before that.
If you speak out to criticise these actions you are targeted and gaslit with the vile slur of being antisemitic. You are also told you’re working for Hamas.. which is another ridiculous invention.
It’s pretty binary to me though..
If you believe that GENOCIDE is justifiable then you are FOR everything you see in this clip.
If you believe in Universal Human Rights for EVERYONE - children - mothers and fathers, to not have their bodies blown to pieces… their internal organs splayed out on bloodied hospital floors.. burned, starved, bleeding out and brutalised.
Are they ANIMALS??????!!!!!
Is THIS what you believe???
STOP THIS GENOCIDE NOW!!!
Boycott - Sanction - Strike every Thursday

Dear Friends,
The GENOCIDE continues unabated..
There is ONLY brutality and extreme inhumanity.
If you EVER thought there was ANY kind of ‘reasonablity’ - ‘respect for human life’, with compassion and decency in ANY power structure…THINK AGAIN!
War crimes carried out in plain sight for almost two years with absolute impunity.
THIS is the INSANITY of the world we all share!!!

Dear Friends,
Over the last two years, like so many of you, I’ve been on the roller coaster ride of bearing witness to a man - made apocalypse. With no alliance to ANY political party, my one CLEAR issue comes from the fact that GENOCIDE is incontrovertibly taking place.
Everybody now sees the political hegemony that pays for and supports every single torturous act of horror that has decimated the Palestinian people.
Mr Netanyahu repeatedly talks about ‘finishing the job’ by extinguishing Hamas’ - a euphemism for ‘killing’ ‘bombing’ ‘slaughtering’ ‘burning’ ‘starving’ and ‘destroying’ the entire region!
THERE ARE NO SAFE ZONES IN GAZA!
EVERYONE IS STARVING and TERRORISED.
STOP THE GENOCIDE
CEASEFIRE!!!!
