In a sane world, the government guilty of committing genocide would be dismantled, and forced to pay reparations. Instead they are allowed to corral their victims into a concentration camp and steal their land. We live in the most obscene of all possible timelines.

As winter arrives, over one million Gazans lack shelter, with 92% of housing destroyed by Israel.

In violation of the ceasefire, Netanyahu continues to restrict the entry of tents and other aid, including food.

The U.S. must demand that Israel allow full humanitarian access NOW.

Vile! Can't believe an ex Home Secretary & current Member of Parliament, is posing for pictures with an indicted war criminal!

She was the Senior Gov't Minster in charge of law & order in the UK until very recently! Hanging out with an indicted war criminal! Shameful!

This Black Friday and Cyber Monday don’t buy into genocide.

Avoid these brands enabling Israel’s ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

Gaza after the ceasefire is defined by the ‘yellow line’ — drawn by Israel, and dividing the strip in two.

Our evidence suggests that Israel seeks to make the line permanent, as ‘reconstruction’ plans normalise this new stage of Israel’s occupation: frames.forensic-architecture.org/gaza/ceasefire

The US just revoked the visa of Former South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor who initiated the genocide case against Israel.

Watch Zeteo's interview with her from March last year where she said there was 'huge murder underway' in Gaza: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

Well done to all those who have tirelessly campaigned to scrap the 2-child benefit cap.

Today, the government admitted it had been keeping thousands of children in poverty for no reason whatsoever.

Next, tax wealth, reverse austerity and end the privatisation rip-off!
