Do you know the terror inflicted on little Hind? I can’t even imagine the trauma - trapped in a car with her family shot to death as she pleads for help. Isra.eli forces won’t allow anyone through. Now all contact has been lost - no-one knows what’s happened to her. CRIMINAL.
💔This is a picture of the 6 years old girl Hind who remained trapped inside a vehicle fired upon by the occupation forces, resulting in the martyrdom of everyone inside (6 individuals). Hind remained for hours pleading for our teams to reach her and evacuate her from the area surrounded by Israeli tanks. 📍Full details below:👇 #HumanRightsViolations #IHL #Gaza

St. Thomas' Hospital in London displaying the pictures and names of Palestinian children murdered and injured in Gaza. Amazing show of solidarity from those who care for the most vulnerable. The political ‘leaders’ do not speak for the people.

A writer must speak on behalf of the unheard, those who cannot articulate well what they feel or see, and most importantly to me, those who lost their lives under the rubble of vicious wars. That’s part of resistance—keeping memories of oneself and others, eternalizing shared feelings in human life.

Israeli government ministers dance at a conference planning illegal Israeli settlements in Gaza. So far, I have spotted the ministers of communication, national security, and heritage, at least.

Here is a video showing the police not allowing Na’amodniks to join the march, citing the @CST_UK and the march organisers as the reason. A second video to follow in tweet below.
We have investigated this allegation and it is not correct - CST did not block or prevent Na'amod's participation in the march. CST security officers were present only to protect the march from any physical threats and were not involved in any decisions about participation.

Israel is GUILTY of Genocide. I say this as a Jew and son of a Holocaust survivor. Never again doesn't mean only for Jews, it means Never Again for everyone. Former South Africa MP @AndrewFeinstein on Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague:

🚨ICJ - SOUTH AFRICA AGAINST ISRAEL - ISRAEL’S GENOCIDAL INTENT FULL CLIP. “Any suggestion Israeli officials didn't mean what they said or were misunderstood, should be rejected by this court. The evidence of genocidal intent is not only chilling, it is also overwhelming and incontrovertible.” Source of video: In Context.

As you listen to the demands being made by the South African legal case against Israel, you really get a sense for how minimal value Israel holds for Palestinian life. These are demands that should never have to be made and it's actually crazy that we are here. #RSAvISR
