Now that @AbdulElSayed has been asked to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood because of his mother’s alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood before he was born, will we be asking Donald Trump to disavow the Ku Klux Klan because of his father’s alleged ties to the KKK in the 1920s? washingtonpost.com/history/2…

Israel wiped Gaza from the face of the earth. Everyone knew exactly what they were doing! A crime more confessed to as it happened than any other in history. A crime more documented as it happened than any other in history. There are no excuses. None at all,

Anyone who wants to help desperate Palestinian farmers in the West Bank fighting for their very survival should consider googling @Zaytoun_CIC for the most delicious olive oil ever... and also spectacular Mejdoul dates, amazing smokey freekeh and best of all, their unbelievable zesty zaatar.

So to be clear: there’s a genocide going on in Lebanon too.
Israel’s military has extensively destroyed predominantly Shia villages in southern Lebanon. Nearby Christian villages have been told they will be spared if they remain neutral, but life is still far from normal. Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr reports from Marjayoun.

Horrifying. Now we know why Netanyahu continues to ban international media from Gaza.

Show this to anybody who still denies the genocide.  These were all people's homes. Completely and totally destroyed. These images should haunt those who enabled Israel's crimes against humanity - and we will never give up until there is justice for the Palestinian people.

Total annihilation. Yes. One question no one seems keen to ask: when will Gaza be opened? How long will apartheid Israel, an unlawful occupier, be allowed to keep genocide survivors sealed off from the world? And for how long can "destroying Hamas" remain the justification?

Celebrating my 28th birthday today while on book tour! Here’s me signing my English teacher’s copy of my book 10 years after she left me such a beautiful note of encouragement. Incredibly grateful for all the love and support.

Does this horrify you? Then you will be smeared as a dangerous, hateful extremist.
🚨HORRIBLE: A child walks alone through the rubble, carrying his schoolbag as Israeli tank fire and aircraft strike nearby in Gaza. He crosses hundreds of meters of destroyed homes, exposed to the immediate danger of being killed, just to reach his classroom. This is a child’s reality in Gaza‼️

Harassment of this nature - and posting it online - by Danny Thomas may be a criminal offence. I hope his victim complains to the police.
This is harassment and intimidation, and not remotely ok.

The tragedy is, standing against genocide shouldn’t be considered “brave” yet, in this screwed up world with the trolls, media, politicians and boss-class cowards, it is. #Gaza

Ellen Barkin, John Cusack, Mark Ruffalo and Susan Sarandon… all have been incredibly brave.

This is the closest the government has come to accepting undeniable reality: Israel is committing war crimes on an industrial scale. This welcome shift was only made possible by activism. Is it anywhere near enough? No, So we keep on fighting.
