Dear Friends,
Back in April of 2024, Senator Bernie Sanders
gave a speech, publicly addressing Mr Netanyahu. It’s worth listening to.....again!
We’ve all been gas-lit by claims that it’s antisemitic to criticise the Israeli government.
This ridiculous notion has been weaponised for years. I consider the charge of being antisemitic as one of the most bizarre and offensive insults I’ve ever received - especially as I abhor and condemn antisemitism, as well as Islamophobia, including racism and bigotry against anyone.
Bless you Bernie for tellin’ it like it REALLY is!!
Free Palestine!!! ❤️🖤🤍💚

Dear Friends,
A message for the Prime Minister.
Palestinians are proud of their children too Keir.
Like you, they really want to see them thrive. To have an education - security - homes to live in - food - clean water - sanitation - health care and the basic things that make live worth living.
They don’t want their children starved - orphaned and traumatised. They don’t want to be forced to witness their children’s bodies wrapped in funeral shrouds in their TENS OF THOUSANDS!!
Somewhere in the depths of your conscience, perhaps you might sense that it’s wrong to arrest and imprison hundreds of pensioners peacefully holding signs condemning genocide.
Please stop your disingenuous propaganda campaign, trying to show your more ‘human’ side.
It really doesn’t wash.

Dear Friends,
Here’s an accurate overview and insight as to life/survival in Gaza as it stands today. Dr Nada Abu Alrub has been working and living in Gaza, literally in the midst of the genocidal seige.
She knows through direct experience what is happening on the ground.
Right now the winter weather is pummelling people everywhere.
The freezing wind and rain hammers down on thousands of flimsy tents, while water mixed with sewage floods through everything. There has never been a real ceasefire..
LET GAZA LIVE
KEEP SUPPORTING - DONATING - PROTESTING!!!!!
STOP THE GENOCIDE!!!!

Dear Friends,
Please take a moment to consider…
Over 200,000 tons of explosives have been dropped on Gaza since 7th October 2023.
Gaza is three times smaller than Hiroshima,
yet is equivalent to 13 Hiroshimas.
THIRTEEN HIROSHIMAS ON GAZA!!!!

Dear Friends,
Sometimes ‘words’ cannot convey the full scale of their meaning.
We humans can’t actually grasp their enormity..
It’s beyond our capacity to comprehend.
So when you hear or read ( as I already have many times) BULLDOZERS WERE USED TO BURY PALESTINIAN CHILDREN ALIVE… Stop …
Repeat those words and keep repeating until you FULLY grasp their full meaning.
STOP NORMALISING VIOLENCE IN GAZA

Dear Mr Prime Minister,
I’m writing to you in all sincerity, wondering, (as I have done for over 2 years) whether you have any humanity and how you can possibly sleep comfortably at night?
Now you send a touching public birthday message to your son, which you could easily have said in private. Don’t you realise how obviously transparent this piece of propaganda is .. Trying to show the British public that ‘you’re human after all’..
So deeply ironic and completely tone deaf.
While millions of good citizens have been protesting and calling out the GENOCIDE of children in Gaza…You’ve had them arrested for peacefully holding protest signs.
Thousands of 17 year old precious sons have been targetted, bombed and butchered. Countless numbers of ‘sons’ have been held and tortured in Israeli prisons for years without charge or trial. Perhaps you might want to consider how their fathers feel when they will never see them again. STOP SENDING WEAPONS PARTS TO ISRAEL TO KILL CHILDREN!!!!!

Dear Friends,
If you’re feeling tired and despondent over what’s happening in Gaza.. here’s a remedy - GIVING!!!
Just a few pounds will make a HUGE difference to children and families living in these intolerable conditions… @thezaynabproject distribute basic supplies to support a family for 2-3 weeks.
One way you can contribute and support right NOW!

❤️ @thezaynabproject ❤️

“October 27, 2025 - Khan Younis Orphans
October Orphan Sponsorship
Our team completed the October sponsorship round for all orphaned children under our care in Khan Younis.
No lines.
No waiting.
No public distribution points.
No added stress for families who are already carrying more than anyone should.
Each child receives their monthly support privately, inside their own shelter, with our team checking on their well-being, their needs, and their living conditions. This direct, in-home model is what protects their dignity and ensures that the aid reaches exactly who it’s meant for, every single time.
Alongside the sponsorship funds, every orphan also received a full food parcel, thanks to our long-term partner Xenia, who funded 500 parcels in October. Parcels included staple items such as rice, oil, canned peas, tuna, luncheon meat, corned beef, pasta, noodles, tomato paste, cheese, tahina, sweet corn, sugar, zaatar, and dried milk - enough to support a family for 1-2 weeks.
Each child also received a sweets bag filled with snacks and candy that have been out of reach for 2 years
Alhamdulillah, our orphan program is now approaching 250 registered children, each one receiving reliable monthly care.
With continued donor support, we can expand this program even further - adding more children, strengthening our field teams, and ensuring every orphan we take on receives consistent, respectful, and dignified support. InshaAllah, we will keep growing.”

Dear Friends,
CEASEFIRE as MIRAGE
It sounded so good…didn’t it?
What we are witnessing is a continuing
SLOW DRIP GENOCIDE.
Look at the background behind @wizard_bisan1 at the end of this clip. A massive landscape of toxic rubble Gazans have been left with to try to survive in!!!
While Palestinians in Gaza are still being denied access to freedom, aid, safety and security, people are being tricked into turning away because they imagine it’s ‘over.’
The litany of war crimes and brutality is endless.
Yet despite the rulings of the highest courts in the world,
the business of destruction, slaughter, starvation, torture, punishment, violent take-over, abuse at every level continues with impunity.
DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE

Dear Friends,
A message directly from @wizard_bisan1 in Gaza, where SURVIVING is a HUNDRED times HARDER than DYING.,.
Where NO REAL PEACE has been ESTABLISHED with NO INFRASTRUCTURE, MEDICAL SUPPLIES, SUSTAINABLE FOOD PROGRAMS etc
GAZA lies in total rubble and the population are trapped there.
It’s ‘business as usual’ - in terms of the siege, the killing and the expansion of settler violence and theft.. all protected and supported by the Israeli army.
Human rights - red lines - justice and accountability… ALL TRAMPLED ON.
