Watch Professor Nizam Mamode break down as he tells @CommonsIDC about the systematic & persistent targeting of civilians by Israeli drones immediately after they drop bombs on areas of civilian population living in tents. Thanks to @SarahChampionMP's words as he composes himself.

“If you are a party to the immiseration and the evisceration of life in Palestine, people in this country cannot be free, because this is part of creating a new baseline for human suffering.” @KeeangaYamahtta at @PalFest today.

Israel knows it can commit war crimes with impunity.
That is why it has launched its largest assault on the West Bank since 2002.
We are witnessing the total erasure of Palestine - and our government is shamefully complicit.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

This is the last photo from ICU in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. We have been forced to evacuate hospital, there will be no doctor or nurse, and patients will be left to inevitably.
Please any one can see this post do any thing to stop this genocide
I will not leave the hospital

Impressive work by the British media in refusing (so far) to cover a veteran British diplomat’s resignation over arms exports to Israel, implicating London in war crimes including systemic “rape and torture”
Was a D Notice placed on this story?

Just found out that Taylor & Francis has sold access to all @routledgebooks data to Microsoft to train their AI. This includes my publications. I get no payment for using my research labour, never mind the bigger problems of this energy-intensive extractivism...
