Thanks to everyone who who attended the vigil in Cambridge. We call for peace and equality for all the peoples of Palestine and Israel. An end to the Occupation; full aid to Gaza; an end to the annihilation; free the hostages and Palestinians in administrative detention.

Peace and justice for all.

Today, we are striking and disturbing routine across the country. We’re blocking roads and highways and businesses have shut down.

We cannot continue our daily lives while Gaza is being annihilated and the hostages are abandoned!

Now in Tel Aviv!

We’re disturbing routine everywhere today because there is nothing normal about our government starving children, bombing civilians, and letting the hostages be killed. We refuse to let them steal our future on this land. We have to end these horrors NOW.

As the genocidal onslaught and starvation on Gaza continues, we call on all MPs to put further pressure on the UK Govt and Israel, and to support the vital work of Standing Together.

Yesterday, Notts FoST’s weekly vigil focused on the children who have been killed by this relentless war and starvation.

Whether Jewish or Palestinian, each child deserves a right to life, food, shelter, and an education.

We must end this war of annihilation.

Watch: We disrupted the live broadcast of Big Brother Israel last night to call for an end to the annihilation in Gaza and abandonment of the hostages because we can’t continue with routine right now! There can’t be business as usual! (1/2)

"’It's about trying to break routine,’ [activist Eliah Levine] said. ‘It's a statement, both to the TV corporations and to the viewers, saying that we cannot allow ourselves to numb our pain and not think about what we're doing as a country to Palestinians. We have to wake up.’"

We are completely horrified and sickened by the cynical videos of hostages Rom Braslavski and Evyatar David, who are starving and emaciated, that were published this weekend. (1/5)

Hundreds of people joined @ukfost.bsky.social today to say stop starving Gaza, end the war of annihilation& bring the hostages home. Magen Inon & Mira Awad spoke powerfully. We all feel so broken & helpless, but we must keep going.

I spoke about Awdah: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Last week saw a large crowd join Notts FoST to commemorate the continued annihilation and plight of the hostages, as well as support from a local Muslim festival.

Join us again this week to commemorate the 60,000 people killed and support Standing Together’s Jewish-Palestinian co-resistance.

We’re crying out for an end to this madness — an end to the catastrophe that has already killed 20,000 Palestinian children, the man-made famine, the brutal bombardment, and the abandonment of 50 Israeli hostages. Stop the annihilation NOW.

Great turnout from NottS FoST last Sunday.

As forced starvation grips Gaza, the urgency for a ceasefire has never been greater.

Aid must get into Gaza immediately, with the hostage released and an end to settler attacks in the West Bank.
