There are quite a few scholarships specifically reserved for both UG & PG students from Gaza across a few UK universities. There are not many but see

And see university websites re specific scholarships

All British universities refuse our admission to their master's scholarships just because we are only from Palestine.๐

This is a must watch. Dr Mads @DrMadsGilbert has been a passionate advocate for Palestine and worked there for many years in hospitals volunteering his medical expertise before Israel banned him from returning. Imagine banning medics from a besieged and deprived population.

Please help Anas with a donation, if you are able or at least please repost to boost. He barely receives any engagement ๐ต๐ธ๐คฒ๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
I am Anas from northern Gaza..
Iโm still trying to continue my studies in Computer Engineering despite the bombing and hunger. The reality is much harsher than you can imagine..
My family of 8 people are all displaced. Alhamdulillah we are still alive, but we havenโt received any support for days. Food has become extremely scarce and prices are insane.
Every bit of help โ even one dollar or just sharing the link โ helps us survive one more day ๐คฒ๐คchuffed.org/project/134441-sโฆ

To have the most senior judge in England and Wales, so lacking in knowledge of fairly recent history is yet another failing of the 14 years of failure we endured under incompetent #ToryScum governments. She was appointed in 2023 by the King, under advice from then PM #RishiRich

Basically the British establishment views actions against private 'israeli' weapons as worse than actions against the British state itself.
Because Britain is not an independent state with its own national interestsโ it is a zionist outpost with 'israeli' interests.

As Peter Hain pointed out in the debate on banning PA last year, this govt would have called him a terrorist for participating in anti apartheid protests in the 1970s & they would have called called the suffragettes terrorists too

The Lady Chief Justice: Palestine Action was not a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes, but used violence to destroy property
The suffragettes burned down country houses & train stations, bombed churches & sent letter bombs to politicians.

Who holds a real estate sale in a synagogue?
Seriously ...?
A place of worship used instead to worship money?
Instead of holding moral values sacred in a place of worship, they sell blood-soaked land?
If I was a jew in the UK, I'd be seriously concerned about the values on display in this synagogue.
A synagogue.
We are deeply disturbed at the wholly unjustified protest called for this morning outside a synagogue.
We are calling on the police to ensure such protests are kept a significant distance from places of worship to prevent intimidation to members of the Jewish community.
ALT "We are deeply disturbed at the wholly unjustified protest called for this morning outside a North-West London synagogue. The event organisers have publicly refuted claims that the event is marketing real estate over the Green Line. It is very disappointing that MPs and other public figures have not acknowledged this and instead inflamed tensions through partial and misleading commentary. Protesting at a synagogue based on false pretences seems to be little more than an excuse to harass and intimidate members of the Jewish community. We have been in touch with the Metropolitan Police calling for protesters to be kept from intimidating members of the community, to police robustly any examples of hate speech, and to provide reassurance to the local community. New measures under the Crime and Policing Act, called for by the Board and community partners, will from the end of the month give police new powers to impose conditions on protests near places of worship. We are calling on t

They weren't convicted of terrorism by a jury.
Yet they were sentenced as terrorists.
All while the British government continues to arm and shield a rouge genocidal state.
This historic miscarriage of justice should alarm everyone who values civil liberties.
A chilling precedent has been set.

This has become standard feature of demonstrations in support of Palestinian rights. Police allowing counter demonstrators to be within metres of the protest and to chant anti Palestinian abuse. At the National marches counter demonstrations organised by @StopTheHate_UK have featured the loud playing , over sound systems, of bombs dropping followed by " another one bites the dust", throat slitting gestures and mock rifle aiming directed at marchers, Muslim Women being told " we hope you get raped" alongside racist anti Palestinian chants. All acceptable to the Police who have consistently placed the protests no further than 30 metres away from
the marches on the basis that they have a right to be within " sight and sound" of the demonstration they are countering. Tell me again about " 2 tier policing" and remember the reports documenting institutionalised Islamophobia which we are now told are disabling the Police from acting robustly.

Pro-Israel demonstrators shouted abuse at pro-Palestinian protesters outside a London hotel on Sunday, with one shouting: "Palestine doesn't exist, we squashed it."

Perhaps he was the victim of a bet between two soldiers, or a bored sniper, or... there are so many possibilities, but the result is the same: my cousin Khalil al-Masri went straight from the cafe to heaven, without guilt or justification; his identity alone was enough to make him a victim๐
I will love you forever, goodbye.
The occupation forces erected cranes like towers and mounted machine guns on them. Unfortunately, six people were injured, including my cousin, who is now in intensive care. Please pray for his recovery and safety.

Govt corruption & complicity in Israel's genocide has destroyed any semblance of justice & democracy.
BREAKING: The Court of Appeal ruled in the government's favour, stating that the Palestine Action ban is lawful.
We will not stop fighting for the ban to be lifted, the end of the use of terror legislation against us, and crucially, for a free Palestine.

The second trial, with eight of the Filton 25, has begun today at the Old Bailey.
However, security are denying entry to all the family members and loved ones, demanding they have two forms of ID.
This rule has never been used before, and is clearly an intimidation tactic.

Read and share the article below by Gideon Levy @gideonle an Israeli journalist who has often been a near lone voice of sanity in Israel
Here he addresses his fellow Israelis who live with themselves by LYING and LYING to themselves
โNice to meet you, my name is Jewish Terror. I'm new in your world and on your screens, but I've been in the neighborhood for many yearsโ

BREAKING: People Against Genocide are blocking all entry to Ultra I&C, a key supplier to Elbit's Israeli drone factory in Leicester.
They used modified suitcases to lock on and shut down the site for as long as possible.

๐ฎ๐ฑ Israel Detained a CHILD and His Father. The Boy Came Back Dead.
Ryan Bahaa Abu Al-Ajin and his father were seized in Wadi al-Salqa, east of Deir al-Balah, then dumped on Salah al-Din Road. Both were assaulted in custody, according to the family.
The father survived his injuries. Ryan reached the hospital and was pronounced DEAD.
A child held by the most "moral army in the world" was returned a corpse. This is yet ANOTHER example of the criminal actions this IDF does.

Heidi Brachman is a substack journalist who is found mostly on X doxing activists. At the stolen land sale action she spent several hours just filming for content to be used later to target activists. Despite not wearing a Press pass she was allowed to move freely as a journalist by the police! Ask yourself, why would a journalist spend her days doxxing? As a journalist who works for @TheCanaryUK and is part of the NUJ this is very alarming! #journalist #spy #x #undercover #news

Palestinians say Israeli settlers tried to burn them alive in a nighttime attack on a mosque east of Ramallah. Settlers rampaged through two villages, setting fire to cars, farm land and places of worship.
