0.1% of people on the planet emit more CO2 than the poorest 3.5 billion people combined.
One year’s worth of emissions from the top 1% will result in an estimated 1.3 million excess deaths from extreme heat.
Just a few stats from Oxfam's incredible new report.
Natural disasters aren’t natural. A storm doesn’t decide who has insurance, savings or somewhere safe to go. People built the systems that leave others exposed. People can change them.

Please, don’t let my dream end just $500 away.💔
After three years of war, losing my home and stability, and enduring displacement, I’m still fighting to earn my master’s degree in Geomatics Engineering. But today, my dream is at risk because I’m still $500 short of my first-semester tuition fees.
I’ve come too far to give up now. I’m asking you, from the bottom of my heart, to help me take this final step toward a better future for me and my children.
Even $5 or $10 can bring me closer to my goal. Please, don’t scroll past. If you can’t donate, share this post so it can reach someone who can.🙏

💔 Who will be the first person to break the silence and end this painful silence?
I’m in Gaza, desperately seeking help for my hand treatment, but so far, no donations have come in.
Even a small donation could make a real difference. ❤️🇵🇸
Who will be the first to step forward? 🙏

So let me get this right. The Bell Review says that attitudes in Britain to Jewish people have *not changed* but there is increasing hostility to Israel.
And that translates to 'antisemitism is increasing'?

🚨 donate urgently and directly to the children of gaza! 💔🍞
👉 For immediate contribution: chuffed.org/project/help-the…
💔 In Gaza, children are not asking for toys, new clothes, or anything extraordinary.
They are asking for a piece of bread.
Imagine a mother waking up inside a displacement tent, surrounded by hungry children, knowing she has no bread to give them.
Imagine a little child waiting for hours, hoping that someone will arrive carrying food.
🍞 At Project Mohammed, we continue distributing bread directly to displaced families across Gaza, reaching children and mothers who have almost nothing left.
But the bread we deliver will eventually run out, and the hunger will remain.
💔 Every day, more children wake up hungry.
💔 Mothers divide a single piece of bread among several children.
💔 Families wait desperately for our distributions, hoping they will not return to their tents empty-handed.
No child should have to beg for bread just to survive.
We are a team of young people working directly inside Gaza. Despite the destruction, danger, and enormous difficulties, we continue reaching displaced families with our own hands.
But our resources are running out, and thousands of children are still waiting.
🚨 We urgently need your help to keep distributing bread.
Please donate. Please share. Please help us reach another hungry child.
Even a small contribution can help bring bread to a family that has nothing to eat.
🤍 Our deepest gratitude to:
❤️ William Menaker (@willmenaker)
❤️ Felix (@ByYourLogic)
❤️ Eyup Lovely (@eyuplovely)
❤️ Claire (@ZeroSuitCamus )
Your voices and kindness have helped us bring food and hope to families struggling to survive.
👉 Donate urgently: chuffed.org/project/help-the…
🍞 The bread we distribute cannot end the hunger these children face tomorrow.
Thousands of children are still waiting for their next piece of bread. Please don’t let them wait alone. 💔

Tonight, I’m going to sleep with one terrifying thought: Will I wake up tomorrow, and will I still have feeling in my hand? 💔
I pray that someone, somewhere, will see my plea and help me get the treatment I desperately need. I’m still $450 short. Please, I’m begging you—don’t let me lose the feeling in my hand because I couldn’t afford treatment. 🇵🇸🙏

Palestinian Culture must and will survive. Its natural beauty is indestructible, as is the spirit.
Sliman Mansour was a leading Palestinian artist whose work captured the Palestinian people’s culture of steadfastness in the face of their ongoing struggles for recognition, rights, and freedom.

Buried on page 30 of 'Sir' David Bellend's report into antisemitism in schools in the UK it explicitly says there hasn't been a rise in antisemitism, only in anti-Israel sentiment. Astonishingly fraudulent crisis/debate, all to shield a genocidal state

The idiot’s guide to states – and their ‘rights’:
1. States exist. Some 200 of them.
2. States are the political arrangement in which a people express their self-determination. That arrangement can and does change.
3. States enjoy rights, but only against each other. They have the right, for example, not to face unprovoked aggression from another state.
4. No state has some enduring, abstract “right” to exist. Otherwise bad ones like apartheid South Africa would be unreformable.
5. Peoples, by contrast, do have a right to exist. That’s why states that commit apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide are so gravely violating international law. Because they are violating a people’s right to exist.
6. When people argue Israel has a “right” to exist, they are trying to dupe you into believing international law is fine with apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide. It isn’t. For obvious reasons, international law prefers the rights of peoples over those of states. Otherwise, no state could ever be illegitimate. Its rights would trump those of the people it rules over.
7. When someone refuses to agree that Israel has a “right” to exist, they are not being antisemitic, whatever the media keeps telling you. They are upholding international law: the precedence of peoples’ rights over those of states.
8. The claim that Israel has a “right” to exist is not what it seems. It’s really the claim that the current reality of extreme inequality between Israelis and Palestinians be set in stone. It’s the diabolical claim that Israel has a right to commit apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide against the Palestinian people.

I was at the chemist earlier to pick up our prescriptions. When I opened them I unfortunately found they had mistakenly given me Teva products. Back to chemist, meds changed with their apologies.
#BDS works, that's why Israel is terrified of it.
