I’m seeing people in Gaza posting food images constantly over the past 48 hours. I have been yearning for this moment. May their happiness be eternal.❤️🤲

If you're in Hackney, we have a key meeting coming up on 23rd October, just one issue up for debate - cutting the council's ties with Israel's genocide. Here's an easy way of emailing our Mayor @carowoodley ahead of the meeting.

The Global Sumud Flotilla is being targeted by as of yet non-lethal psychological attacks with include drones and the hijacking of our VHF radios. They’re playing ABBA. Probably in line with their weird obsession with Greta. We will not be deterred.

Explosions, unidentified drones and communications jamming. We are witnessing these psychological operations firsthand, right now, but we will not be intimidated. The lengths to which Israel and its allies will go to prolong the horrors of starvation and Genocide in Gaza are sickening. But our resolve is stronger than ever. These tactics will not deter us from our mission to deliver aid to Gaza and break the illegal siege. Every attempt to intimidate us only strengthens our commitment. We will not be silenced. We will continue to sail. Global Sumud Flotilla via Instagram

Today, we tried again to get our council to end its complicity in Israel's genocide in occupied Palestine. And again @HackneyLabour blocked a vote on divestment and un-twinning from Haifa.

As Israel's genocide continues across Palestine, the @mayorofhackney must show leadership and allow a vote in full council to end our borough's twinning with Haifa and to divest the pension fund from complicit companies.
Overnight, Israeli forces continued its mass abduction campaign in Tulkarm, north of the occupied West Bank, capturing anyone they encountered during their assault on the city. In just a few hours, more than 1,500 people were taken hostage and herded in a humiliating manner into a library that the army had seized and turned into a detention camp. They were not interrogated, as that was never the goal. Instead, they were subjected to abuse, insults, and humiliation before some were later released.

"We do not consider that the ICJ's Provisional Measures Orders should be regarded as creating an awareness of a serious risk of genocide" ?? - That's precisely what it does.
🚨 NEW: The Government has concluded Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza

@carowoodley this 👇
In this letter, Islington Council explains how it has got rid of many of its investments in companies that are complicit in Israel's genocide in occupied Palestine. It details plans to divest from others. @carowoodley, why is Hackney not doing the same?
