Please amplify. It’s important.
This is mass exodus of my people in north Gaza. Israel is emptying north Gaza to occupy it.
This is the General’s Plan. They have been bombing intensely school shelters and houses and hospitals and they have been preventing food or medicine from entering into the area for 2 weeks.
When will the united states stop this?
They said that Rafah was a redline. And now they said they were told by the Israelis that the General’s Plan is not in their mind.
They are doing it. And we are watching. No
We are funding it and protecting the aggressors.
There needs to be some action. Global Strike. Refrain from going to work unless you are a teacher or a doctor. Stay at home.
You can stop this and you need to act now. Well, you should have acted from before. Anyway!!!!
So honoured to know @BCWLindsay & was totally shoutin’ for him tonight @springharvest & echoing his challenge to the church to step up in the struggle against injustice, violence against young people, racism & oppression. Thank you Ben for your beautiful, holy work. #peacemaker

The Women’s Tennis Association's finals are being awarded to Saudi Arabia, a country where the male guardianship system denies women basic human rights.
The idea that women’s tennis would go to Saudi Arabia is an offense to pioneers of the sport. trib.al/S0TzqKU

Boycott Eurovision.
Don't let Israel use the contest to shore up its shattered reputation.
Russia was rightly kicked out.
As the Israeli state slaughters the Palestinian people - the least we can do is to take a stand.

Israel latest military orders, includes closing certain streets in the West Bank for Palestinians from 5-9am, so that illegal Jewish settlers can drive to work without seeing Palestinians. The Israeli minister of National Security announced that the life of the Jewish settlers is more important than the freedom of movement for Palestinians. For us as a university, this means that teachers and students can’t reach their classes in the morning. In addition, every now and then the Israeli military closes the main checkpoint connecting the southern part of the West Bank with the north, causing traffic jams for hours. What can we call such orders and actions other than Apartheid.

Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian is a renowned Palestinian author and academic. She was recently suspended by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem after she accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and calling for abolishing Zionism.

Today is Yom il-Ard, Land Day, in Palestine. Every year it is more relevant.
On Land Day we remember March 30, 1976, when unarmed Palestinian citizens of Israel were attacked and brutalized by Israeli forces during an organized protest, rejecting the state's theft of land. 🧵

🚨People living in poverty find it harder to live a healthy life, live with more illnesses, and die earlier than the rest of population.
New report with @TheKingsFund exposes the staggering toll poverty is taking on the nation’s health.
