Dear Friends,
I wanted to share this very significant and informative post with you…
There will be another protest march taking place in London on Saturday the 18th. It’s more important than ever that people across the UK come out to express your solidarity against GENOCIDE!
We MUST keep up the momentum
and show the government that the people of Britain are anti - genocide and anti ethnic cleansing!

Dear Friends,
@dr.hussam73 was taken hostage almost two years ago, when he walked out to the Israeli tanks to explain that he could not leave his pediatric patients in the hospital. He has been tortured, starved, denied his medication and beaten so badly that some of his ribs were broken. He has not been charged with anything. Four doctors have already died in Israeli custody, one with signs of being r……ped to death. They now have Dr Hussam Abu Safiya in solitary confinement.
It is likely they want him to be the fifth doctor to die in their prison.
Let’s get a million signatures demanding his release. @amnesty and @msrachelforlittles are advocating for his immediate release as his life is in danger ⚠️

“Britain’s crackdown on Palestine solidarity across communities and faiths is eroding free speech and harming democracy, argues Rachel Spence (@rachelwords)
Consider the treatment of Misan Harriman (pictured in 1st slide). The renowned photographer and chair of the Southbank Centre, Harriman called out the media and London’s Metropolitan Police for failing to report that the assailant responsible for attacking two Jewish men in Golders Green had previously stabbed a Muslim man.
Harriman’s post provoked fury. As well as a skein of vituperative articles, MPs called for his removal from the Southbank. The persecution of Harriman, who is Black, is a symptom of the racism that pulses in right-wing British culture. As the Israeli flags waving on last month’s far-right demonstration in London showed, malignance is now entwined with the pro-Zionist virus.“

I was very shocked and saddened to hear about the sudden tragic passing of Alexi Cory-Smith yesterday.
She was one of the very first women to take a senior role at any of the big record labels. A powerhouse with a vision. She established her own catalogue company, @bellafiguramusic four years ago, and was highly revered throughout the music industry. Gone far too soon.
Sending deepest sympathy to her family and friends who must all be in deep shock and grief.🕊️

Dear Friends,
Please remember their names
One year old Siwar Abu Draz and her 23 year old mother, Diana were both killed in their makeshift tent yesterday. They were sheltering with many other displaced families in an area that was previously designated as a humanitarian zone.
There is no safe place in Gaza.

Dear Friends,
Remember the metaphor about the frog being put in a pot of cold water that was gradually being turned up to boiling point? I think we could apply this to human beings and climate change.
We’re just going to sit in the water until it boils over apparently.
Please send in names of prominent climate activist politicians who are making a concerted effort to make impactful change. Apart from @thegreenparty , I can’t think of any other British party who are putting this existential issue to the forefront.
Don’t any of these people have children - grandchildren???
I guess not…

Dear Friends,
Can you even begin to imagine these circumstances?
The mother of a young baby, struggling to take care of her child, while trying to survive in vermin infested tents under the hot sun with no access to functioning services of any kind.

Dear Friends,
Please take a moment to listen to the accounts of this EXCEPTIONAL doctor, who has been dedicated to tending to the desperate needs of emergency patients in Gaza.
Under constant duress and with extremely limited resources, along with her medical colleagues she tries to save lives - one after another. All the while the stomach turning genocidal rhetoric pours unabated from the mouths of those well-known players.
In a few months time it will be 3 years since ‘Pandora’s box’ was opened.. How much longer will it be until this blood lust is satiated?

Dear Friends,
Witnessing the leaders of the G7 get together for a formal picture today made me almost feel ill. They all hold the power to prevent the spread and escalation of what is taking place in the Middle East, yet they fail to do so.
My appreciation of George Orwell and Frank Kafka has deepened over the last two and a half years.
The times we’re living in now have pulled back the curtain to reveal the worst aspects of human behaviour. Is THIS where we lead the world towards extinction??

Dear Friends,
A ‘reality check’ for those predatory would be real estate ‘entrepreneurs’ looking for a nice piece of shoreline property on Palestinian land.
Just a few ‘obstacles’ to overcome before ‘paradise’ by the sea becomes a reality…

Dear Friends,
A few years ago I had the great fortune to spend a Sunday afternoon with David Hockney in his studio. It was a magical experience, as you might imagine.
As a teenager in the late 60’s I was instantly drawn to his work via the portrait of ‘Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy’, which I thought was the total essence of ‘cool’.
‘A Bigger Splash’ came a bit later. Life changing for so many reasons.
I LOVED his style..his bold sense of colour, pattern and contrast. His paintings and drawings ‘spoke’ volumes to me.
I feel so blessed and privileged to have met Mr Hockney.
His legacy will live on forever… 🕊️
🤍❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤

Dear Friends,
Listen to the testimony of what these horrific drones do to human beings!
THIS is what the brave #Filton5 were bringing our attention to!
They are NOT terrorists!!!!
They wanted to destroy hideous drones being manufactured in England.
Their sentences are a total miscarriage of justice.
The establishment wants to ‘set an example’ to intimidate protestors against monstrous genocide.
Welcome to authoritarian Britain.
A paid and corrupt regime!!!

Children have been targeted for many years, but now we are becoming inured to the horror of these deliberate murderous events. This is simply abhorrent - A defilement of everything it takes to be ‘human’!!! We CANNOT remain SILENT!!!!!!!

Dear Friends,
It’s two and a half years since Oct 7th erupted on our screens…
A shocking and terrible event which has subsequently launched ongoing pain and suffering for everyone affected.
We have witnessed hellscapes every single day. Watching the displacement, the punishment and the relentless genocide, you have to ask, what kind of human being could see all this and not feel deeply despairing?
Isn’t there a sentence somewhere in a holy book that clearly states.
THOU SHALT NOT KILL.?
Behind it ALL - money, power, corruption, greed, deceit, malignant narcissism, arrogance and a boundless appetite for extreme brutality.
