General Synod members #FastforGaza today whilst we join Christians for Palestine - UK and Christian Climate Action in a vigil for #Palestine, calling on the Church of England not to ignore the call for solidarity and action from our Palestinian brothers and sisters.

Glad to see the 4 bishops speaking out but still no comment, statement or debate at General Synod. Are these a lone voice in the hierarchy of the Church of England?

BDS movement @bdsmovement.bsky.social · Jul 9

Today, the BDS movement — led by the largest Palestinian coalition ever — turns 20.

In the midst of Israel’s livestreamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip, we are too grieved and too enraged to celebrate the phenomenal impact of BDS.

Herding 2m people into an area 25sq miles in size, when in they cannot get out, for Israel to implement the 'emigration plan' (their words not ours).
Let's call this what it really is. A concentration camp,
Speak up now. We cannot let this happen on our watch.

In the context of the appalling suffering in Gaza, we are calling on people to Fast for Gaza. It is essential that the siege of Gaza is lifted and that sufficient food, fuel and medical supplies are allowed in.
Please join the worldwide fast, and post on May 21 what #fastforgaza means to you.
