In solidarity with the @GlobalSumudF which launches this week in a bid to break the Israeli naval blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to #Gaza, I'm releasing this new song for #Palestine.

Israel’s Defense Minister has once again threatened unlawful force against civilians, attempting to justify violence with baseless smears. We will not be intimidated.
The 'Madleen' is a peaceful civilian vessel, unarmed and sailing in international waters with humanitarian aid and human rights defenders. This mission is independent, guided only by conscience and solidarity with Gaza.
We are currently about 160 nautical miles from Gaza. Earlier signal jamming briefly disrupted our location, but our tracker is functioning again. We remain calm and prepared in the face of possible Israeli aggression.
We call on world governments to demand Israel stand down. It has no right to obstruct our mission or enforce its illegal and brutal blockade.

Day 7 aboard The Madleen.
We're 288 miles from Gaza, sailing with nothing but aid-while others send weapons.
This is not a performance. This is a call to action.

1/2 I was amongst several Labour MPs who joined thousands of protesters outside parliament demanding the UK place sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel as Prime Minister's Questions took place last Wednesday. In this clip, I explain some of my reasons why.

"Over 600 days into #Israel’s starvation campaign against Palestinians, the situation is at its most horrific."

Deja vu: Israel is doing now the exact same thing they did when they murdered Shireen Abu Akleh; flood the internet & news with denials & shaming anyone who "rushes to conclusions"
Their goal is NOT to disprove they butchered 35 aid seekers today, but rather to create confusion so mainstream media & politicians would wait "until things become clearer"
And by the time we get a confirmation from the media that Israel did what we all saw them do on camera, the story would be too late for the world to care about
Israel's strongest weapon is "it's complicated". The goal of Israeli propaganda is NOT to convince you Israel is right, but rather to tire you out, exhaust you, drain you mentally so that you feel this topic is too much & you check out
A good friend once attended a training session at an Israeli consulate in the US (pretending to be a Zionist). Their Israeli trainer said "10-20% of people on campus are pro-Palestinian, 10-20% are pro-Israel, what do you do about the remaining 60-80%?"
Participants eagerly said "we try to win them over"
The trainer said "no, that's the wrong strategy. You should convince them this topic is 'complicate' so they avoid it. If they insist, then shame them & ask them why they choose to focus on this topic out of all the conflicts in the world, is it because of antisemitism?"
This is Israel's propaganda in a nutshell, as we see it unfolding today. They were caught red handed murdered 35 starved Gazans seeking aid & wounding over 170. To avoid global outrage, they're denying this event ever happened or accusing Hamas of doing it, so as to make people reluctant to condemn Israel "until the facts are clear". By then, it would be too late.
This is how they crisis-managed murdering Shireen Abu Akleh, don't let them get away with it again today!

Despite the video evidence.
Despite the witness testimonies.
Despite the testimonies of aid agencies and doctors.
Despite overwhelming evidence of Israel relentlessly lying about its atrocities.
The BBC still muddies the water about today's Israel aid massacre.

The unfolding catastrophe in Gaza - its scale, its cruelty, its deliberate, systemic destruction - is no longer simply a humanitarian crisis. It is a political and moral reckoning.
I have written to the Prime Minister to ask: Do more. Do everything that can be done. And do it now.

After all we’ve witnessed in Gaza & the public STILL has to urge MPs to urge the govt to uphold international law.
This is a stain no amount of future hand-wringing will assuage.
If genocide doesn’t trigger economic sanctions & an arms embargo, then ALL humanity is in peril.

A significant escalation of pressure on @Keir_Starmer & @DavidLammy (both lawyers). The lawyers rightly call for them to "immediately sanction Israeli ministers or senior officials in the IDF who ... incited genocide or supported illegal settlements." theguardian.com/world/2025/m…

Dr. Nimer Sultany is a Palestinian legal scholar and Reader in Public Law at SOAS University of London.
Speaking at the Sarajevo Gaza Tribunal, he said:
“We are here today to name the genocide. This is not the first genocide Zionists have committed against Palestinians. Fierce attacks seek to decontextualize the events of Oct 7 in order to justify Israel’s response in the name of self-defence.”
“This context involves the long-standing occupation which makes Palestinians vulnerable to genocide, as well as a system of apartheid and Jewish supremacy. We need to be careful of the recent revisionism, according to which the genocide began only when Israel violated the ceasefire and launched a total blockade.”
“But the genocidal intent was clear from the beginning with the scale of destruction, the tonnage of the bombs, the repeated forced displacements, the scale and spread of starvation, the attack on what was then the last refuge of Rafah, the General’s Plan, etc.”
“The totality of these actions preclude security and military justifications. Gideon’s Chariots is merely the culmination of these previous stages in the genocide. There is thus an urgent task to educate against genocide denial and to end the brutal occupation and dismantle the apartheid system that made the genocide possible.”

🚨Netanyahu's mercenary "aid" group just closed its HQ in Switzerland after Swiss authorities announced an investigation.
Their CEO resigned, calling out the org's violation of the principles of "humanitarianism, neutrality & independence".
They still plan to start operating in Gaza from Monday where they established 3 militarized concentration camps in Rafah to use food as bait & a tool of blackmail to empty the majority of the enclave & force Gazans southwards.
Keep speaking up until they fully collapse!

Yesterday, while paediatrician Dr Alaa was at one of the few remaining hospitals caring for sick and injured children, she received the charred bodies of 7 of her children, killed by the Israeli army. Her husband, also a doctor, and only surviving child are in critical condition. I gave testimony at the European Parliament almost one month ago. I spoke about the maimed and orphaned children I treated at that same hospital. I spoke about the hospital being hit with a drone strike while we were there killing two patients and injuring others. I spoke of impunity. I spoke of complicity. I asked "What do we tell all the children of Gaza about why we let this happen and for some, even enabled it?" and, in reference to yet another colleague, whose family had been killed "What do we tell him about why provisional measures meant to protect people like his family were just met with accelerated indiscrimite killing?".
This is utterly heartbreaking and frankly, enraging.
Silence is complicity. Silence kills.

Pediatric intensive care doctor Tanya Haj-Hassan (@Tanyaalih), who spent months in Gaza during the genocide, addressed the European Parliament. She shared her firsthand account and an urgent plea:
“It’s too late for many—but not too late for the rest. So I urge you, I implore you, no more words—please act!”

Even Grok, Claude and ChatGpt recognised the problematic nature of Freedland's headline. I didn't even ask them if they were problematic, just if they were "ok".
They spotted the false equivalence and the silly biblical framing.
Just woke up to see this Oped in the Guardian. The false equivalence or whatever you want to call it is staggering. Israel will be delighted about a comparison where the lives of two Israeli/US diplomats equal the lives of thousands of Palestinians.

So shameful and spineless of @BBC. You've lost all respect and all claims to truth telling during this, the supreme moral test of our lifetime. The largest mass slaughter and ethnic cleansing of civilians in modern times is under way and you are too timid to show a documentary you yourself commissioned from some of the country's most acclaimed award-winning documentary makers. Utterly shameful.

Israel is explaining, with fully transparency, how they are navigating the international "rules-based" order to get away with genocide. They recognize that extermination in one fell swoop might trigger international intervention, so they normalize it by carrying it out strategically - "responsibly."
