Has there ever been another country in modern history with an active protest movement *against* providing starving people with food and medical aid?

Sending strength and solidarity to Jordan, who remains paralysed after being tasered by police. Police are 4.2x more likely to use tasers against Black people, and for longer. It's time to end the use of such aggressive, dangerous policing techniques. standard.co.uk/news/crime/me…

"In Nigeria, one product tested up to 6.8g ." Meanwhile in major European markets there is no added sugar in formulas for kids. Later, when people from these countries say they do not trust the West, it will be written off as ignorance and incidents like this will be ignored.

Starvation. The unacceptable face of Israel’s war on Gaza. A doctor from an international aid agency took these pictures 10th April at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. The desperate parents gave permission to publish these.

Ok, I’ll explain. They’re woke scones. They’re scones that secretly virtue-signal. They’re scones but they’re also a betrayal of our British heritage. They are unchanged, yet somehow everything about them has changed. Do you get it now?
Replying to @CeliaRichards0n
What is this bollox, people complaining about scones? With all the problems in Britain and the world? Absolutely psychotic.

For all those who proclaim their allyship or anti-racism efforts in decolonisation and yet have remained silent with not even a tweet of condemnation of the genocidal behaviour of the Israeli state... You need to do some soul searching.

This is nauseating to watch. Firstly, isn't it anti-Semitic to link Jewish people to the action of Israeli state? "being friends of Jewish people" Secondly, isn't it a clear example of racism that people like Nick only care after "White" British citizens have been killed by IDF?

'It could've been our missiles that killed them.' @NickFerrariLBC calls for the suspension of arms sales to Israel after an Israeli airstrike on Gaza killed seven aid workers, including three Brits.

An important aspect of Israel's conduct - and Biden's acquiescence to it - that has gone largely unreported: Israel is engaged in a deliberate and systematic effort to destroy existing laws and norms around warfare. Even during wartime, embassies are off-limits. Israel just bombed an Iranian diplomatic compound in Damascus. Bombing hospitals is a war crime. Israel has bombed EVERY hospital in Gaza. It has even assassinated patients inside hospitals. The ICJ just obligated Israel to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza. Israel actively prevents aid from coming in. Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is prohibited under international humanitarian law. Israel has deliberately created a famine in Gaza. Indiscriminate bombings are illegal under international humanitarian law. Biden himself admits that Israel is bombing Gaza indiscriminately. And the list goes on. Presuming that Israel simply is breaking international law as part of the war but with no larger intent no longer holds IMO. Rather, Israel is seeking to either destroy these norms or create a new normal in which it - much like the US - will be untouchable above these laws and norms. This is the exact type of conduct that usually prompts the US to label a country a pariah or rogue state. The US accuses such states of seeking to destroy the "Rules Based Order." But so far, Biden has acquiesced to Israel's conduct in this area as well as all other aspects of Israel's slaughter in Gaza.

Terrifying images from the Al Shifa hospital complex, the largest in Gaza. This is not a war; even in war, there are rules, such as not attacking healthcare infrastructure. This is a genocide committed by Israel and actively supported by the US and Europe. Shame.

The experiences in Higher Education would be very similar.
We surveyed our membership following the #Gaza crisis in Nov-Dec 23. Our findings show alarming censorship, isolation and abandonment of Muslim workers, and an increase in Islamophobia. Today is the @UN #CombatIslamophobia #AntiIslamophobiaDay. In the UK and around the world are seeing a disturbing trend towards widening divisions and rising Islamophobia. Now more than ever, we must all work together towards creating an inclusive and equitable environment for all. Regulators, unions, universities, employers, and all allies in our NHS and health system must call this out and take urgent action to protect Muslim staff and students.
