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!!!!

Dear Friends,
Christiane Amanpour calling out the deputy Foreign minister of Israel on their policy of deliberate starvation and the prevention of access to all humanitarian supplies.
Right now, the population of Gaza city have been told they have to move South, to a tiny area of land with virtually NOTHING in it…
This is ‘ethnic cleansing’
After two years of Armageddon - forced removal under the most dangerous circumstances in the world. People are still being continuously bombed, targeted and threatened with imminent death. Everyone is starving.. exhausted, traumatised, desperate and terrified.
I can’t help but think of those horrific trains leading Jewish families to their death and it’s hard not to consider some kind of comparison right now.

Dear Friends,
Thankyou so much for all the helpful responses to yesterday’s post. I will follow through.
Of course I’m well aware that the Palestinian people want to stay in their homeland, while trying to survive a genocidal Armageddon.
An entire population of 2 + million human beings, in the face of imminent death or wounding, are trapped between a rock and a hard place, with continuous bombing, shooting, targetting, starving, displacing, destroying, terrorising and traumatising.
While the children and grandchildren of Hitler’s evil ‘final solution’ are now issuing another version of ‘final solution’ - a more terrible tragic twist
would be hard to envisage.
fyi.. I have absolutely no ties to any political party and I abhor antisemitism.

Dear Friends,
These drawings are by 13 year old @fouad.alhrazyn . He’s a brilliantly gifted budding artist, who wants to inspire other Palestinian kids to express themselves on paper.
Like them, he hasn’t been able to go to school for almost two years and drawing is his focus and powerful means of expression.
Please take a moment to look closely at the details in his drawings.
You’ll notice things that might resemble themes from a horror film.
But of course, we know these subjects have been witnessed and experienced by his own young eyes, and every single Palestinian child.
Right now Fouad is one of tens of thousands of precious children who are trapped in Netanyahu’s ground invasion…
An insanely terrifying prospect. NO CHILD should EVER have to endure this hideous Armageddon!!!!

Dear Friends,
PALESTINIAN CHILDREN ARE BEING KILLED AT THE RATE OF ONE PER HOUR??!!!!!!!
What kind of world are we living in, where murder like this is legitimised???!!!!
Wouldn’t you think the world’s ‘leaders’ would do everything in their power to stop this GENOCIDE immediately???
And good people are being arrested and imprisoned for protesting against this??!!!!

Dear Friends…
GAZA IS BEING PURPOSEFULLY STARVED!!!!!!!!
You might have noticed that we had some issues sharing the last post..
There appears to be some changes across meta lately that mean I’m not able to reshare content in the same way I have since October 2023 - I’ll continue to share whatever I can, but please be forgiving of technical gremlins and take downs!
Meantime - I’m sharing one of @adham._.fouad drawings… It speaks VOLUMES!!!!!!!
One thing we need to focus on right NOW is a DEMAND TO OPEN THE GATES OF GAZA AND LET THE AID TRUCKS ENTER IMMEDIATELY !!!!!

Dear Friends,
I’m sharing a harrowing drawing by a Palestinian artist, who is trying to keep his family safe in Gaza.
He drew this 3 months ago, after their tent burned to the ground as a result of the bombing..
You can see a small burnt hole in the top right hand side corner - a souvenir from the fire that almost destroyed them all.
NEVER NORMALISE GENOCIDE

Soon the babies, infants,children, elderly and adults will start to die exponentially in the TENS OF THOUSANDS!!!
Keep PROTESTING - Keep SHARING - Keep BANGING POTS at 6pm!!!
THE AID BLOCKADE MUST BE OPENED!!!! #ceasefire #stopkillinggaza #genocide

Dear Friends,
I fully appreciate the sense of impotence and despair concerning Gaza and the West Bank. This is something we SHOULD ALL feel as conscious, compassionate human beings.
I’m going to try my level best to engage with more practical ways to support children women and men who are SUFFERING every single day…
Here is a petition you can sign and share with your contacts!

🔗 link in my stories

Just take a couple of minutes of your time to ‘urgently fulfil humanitarian obligations in Gaza’.
This will neither make you ‘antisemitic’ nor a Hamas supporter. It won’t make you a ‘terrorist’ and it doesn’t mean you don’t care about the hostages either! All that is gaslighting and we KNOW it!

Dear Friends,
What will it take to stop the GENOCIDE taking place in Gaza???
Will the image of this precious child, ravaged by starvation at the hands of the Israeli regime become the tipping point to sway political leaders and media towards taking immediate action? The general public has been calling this out for 20 MONTHS!!!
TENS of THOUSANDS of children have already been slaughtered.
HOW MANY MORE PALESTINIAN CHILDREN MUST DIE OF STARVATION BEFORE GOVERNMENTS TAKE ACTION????!!!
