Dear Friends,
Today marks the 76th year since the UN adopted the Genocide Convention - a treaty created after the horrors of the Holocaust, to ensure such mass atrocities never happened again.
‘NEVER AGAIN’ it said… but genocide continues till this day.
Please take a moment to read Amnesty International’s report. @amnestyuk
No human being should EVER be treated as ‘sub - human’.
No ‘race’ or ‘population’ should EVER be deliberately ‘decimated’ or ‘eradicated’!
We’ve ALL been witnessing this for well over a year now!
If you have a shred of humanity, you’ll find this intolerable - deeply immoral and profoundly unacceptable!
Where are the religious leaders?? Even the Pope has made statements for ceasefire and an end to this bloodbath.

Dear Friends,
So there seems to be a very significant weight put upon the word ‘genocide’. It makes me wonder - how many children, women and men must be blasted, burned, starved, orphaned, wounded, disfigured, injured, shredded and dehumanised before the USA the UK, the EU, CANADA etc actually recognise that it’s time to call for CEASEFIRE ????
How much blood must be shed? How many more lives destroyed??? What will it take to STOP this hideous carnage?? Palestinians are HUMAN BEINGS just like YOU and ME!!! NOT ANIMALS!!!
SHAME on the WHOLE WORLD for not preventing this HORROR SHOW !!!

Dear Friends…
Amnesty International made this announcement yesterday. Perhaps now, there’ll be more recognition as to what is actually taking place in Gaza…
YES IT’S A GENOCIDE
Looking back over these horrendous months ( and of COURSE.. including the horror of Oct 7th and the hostage taking ) the subsequent entire year of 2024 has witnessed the total decimation of Gaza, with the slaughter and excessive wounding of tens of thousands of her people. The majority of which ( 70per cent) have been babies, children and women! )
The term ‘Amalek’ was openly used in a speech by the president himself!!
The question is - How long will this genocide continue? How many more men women and children must be slaughtered??? Will anyone be held accountable???!!!
MAKE IT STOP!!!

Dear Friends,
The continuous assault unleashed upon the Palestinian people is unfettered in its cruelty. There is NOWHERE safe in the Gaza Strip. This is Ethnic Cleansing with no holds barred and it’s essential that the entire world sees it for what it is. Please share and witness what the Western Leaders are paying for with your tax money.

Dear Friends,
If you haven’t yet seen the film ‘Israelism’ (@israelismfilm ) I’d highly recommend that you take time to watch it.
It offers profound insight into a subject that is more than often incredibly contentious and polarising, as I’ve often referred to as a Gordian knot of tragic consequences.
Oct 7th was unquestionably a horrendous event..And while I have NEVER condoned the horrific violence that took place, I think it’s necessary to understand some of the history and context, going back at least 75 years.
Over and above EVERYTHING - the most important thing is a just and lasting PEACE for both Israelis and Palestinians.. although admittedly, I’m less and less confident that will ever be achieved. But we must keep doing all we can, together.

Dear Friends,
The price of a cup of coffee…
As we stand by - witnessing the triple threat of conflict, disease and starvation taking place in Gaza every day, it fills us with a sense of hopelessness and despair.
But If you want to help make a positive difference, perhaps you might consider donating to International Rescue Committee UK @rescue_uk
If you donate now, your gift will be DOUBLED! Even if it’s just £1, it can collectively make a massive contribution!
Take a moment to make a difference!

Dear Friends,
As each day passes, the devastation continues unabated.
We must be vigilant towards ever becoming accustomed to seeing the destruction of their lives in any way near ‘normal’.
This is NOT NORMAL!!!
Palestinian people are a proud-dignified, industrious people.
That their lives have been reduced to rubble and untold suffering is NOT the sum total of their identity or existance!
Palestinian children have a RIGHT to live peaceful, secure lives.. To eat, sleep, play, to go to school - and to be safe, happy and free!
They have been constantly punished and traumatised each and every day and night.
They have ALL seen, heard and experienced things that NO CHILD should EVER have to endure.. We have a duty to stand up for them. A duty to advocate on their behalf. Please share this clip with friends, family and colleagues. Stand up for the children of Palestine and NEVER become complacent!!

Dear Friends,
As opposed to David Lammy’s claim that there are no journalists in Gaza…please watch this clip and feel free to follow every one of them!
They manage to show the world what is actually taking place in the ground each and every day, while many of their fellow journalists have been deliberately targeted.. wounded or killed!
They are IMMENSELY brave and profoundly dedicated to their work.. no matter what the circumstances!

Dear Friends,
I’m sorry… Please understand that this is NOT something I’d EVER want to share..
But it NEEDS to be seen - witnessed and fully understood!
I’m sure many of you are parents, or you have young family members or friends who have young children. World leaders, decision makers, the collusion of the weapon makers, arms traders and military personnel who are responsible for wounding and killing young children are fathers and mothers too.
I challenge them all to witness the results of their decisions and wonder whether they’ve totally lost their humanity - their moral compass - their MINDS!!!!????

Dear Friends,
While genocide continues in Gaza, Thanksgiving gets underway in the United States…
What are YOU grateful for???
I am grateful for this gathering of almost 1,000 pro - Palestinian activists, who. blockaded the UK’s Foreign Office and London’s Department of Business and Trade today, marking the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People…
That we continue to witness, protest and call for and END to this appalling destruction, where the majority of victims are WOMEN and CHILDREN should be reason for the whole world to be crying out in SHAME!!!!
