Known as the “Rawalpindi Experiments.” (Rawalpindi is a city now in modern day Pakistan.)

The British Empire was among history’s most depraved, evil empires.

Britain isn’t looking to shake off its ‘coloniser’ label anytime soon and the issue of Palestine proves this.

You don’t get to bankroll a genocide…

Embolden and cheer on the perpetrators

…and then call yourself a hero for pulling the plug.

Israel’s ceasefire definition:

Hamas returns our hostages and agrees to disarm. Israel continues as normal.

Peace means more than a ceasefire.

It means freedom from military occupation and apartheid.

It means Palestinians deciding their own future — not war criminals like Tony Blair.

As Israel’s bombs still fall on Gaza, Palestinians celebrate a ceasefire — a testament to their unbreakable spirit.

But peace means more than a ceasefire.

It means freedom from military occupation and apartheid.

It means Palestinians deciding their own future — not war criminals like Tony Blair.

We will keep marching, boycotting, divesting and speaking out until Palestine is free — and until those who enabled this genocide are held accountable for their crimes 🇵🇸

honestly fu** you if you think gazans are only allowed to ask for help to cover their very basic necessities when they’re starving or being killed, calling a gazan a grifter for trying to secure her education proves that you don’t see gazans as humans who deserve to live equally.

The US attacks fishermen because it doesn’t like Maduro. It’s as simple as that.

The US is a rogue, shitty excuse of a nation. 🤷‍♀️

A reminder that Hamas proposed exchanging all hostages for an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in February 2024

Netanyahu delayed any deal so he could avoid prosecution in Israel and continue mass murder in Gaza

Every time I see Zia Yusuf, I am reminded of Mir Jaffar.

A man who sold his people out to the British and helped them consolidate the Raj.

They didn’t LIKE him he was USEFUL. 🤣

please do something. anything. please at least today educate yourself about the Balfour Declaration (signed in 1917) and the Mandate for Palestine (drafted in 1919). it's been 100+ years. that's how far back this injustice goes. the world has watched for a century. it should not still be happening
