Award-winning author Arundhati Roy strongly criticised the US and Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza and Lebanon in her acceptance speech for the PEN Pinter Prize at a ceremony in London earlier this month

BREAKING: At this very moment, the Israeli military is massacring family after family in North Gaza in a war of extermination. So hundreds of Jews and friends are shutting down the New York Stock Exchange to demand the US stop arming Israel and profiting from genocide.

It is an unspeakable tragedy that innocent children continue to be killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, with another 20 children becoming the latest victims of this conflict. A school being used as a shelter in central Gaza was shelled, killing at least 22 people, including 15 children. In a separate incident, five children were reportedly killed by a drone strike while playing on a street corner in northern Gaza. We simply cannot accept the violence that Palestinian children continue to face as normal. We are continuing to urge the UK government to use their power and influence to secure an immediate, definitive ceasefire, and suspend all arms sales to the Government of Israel.

Big congratulations to Thomas McCann his conferring today 👏 A number of Pavee Point workers will also be graduating with their BA in Social Science Community and Youth Work 🎉

The legal advice is clear. It’s time to pass the Occupied Territories Bill!

120 child welfare groups, faith bodies & trade unions are calling for the 2 child benefit cap to be scrapped. This would lift over 300,000 children out of poverty. In Parliament next week I urge the government to set out a swift timetable for this & give hope to many families.

Alongside 18 peer organisations, we call on all permanent and elected members of the UN Security Council to enforce the ICJ orders regarding Israel's actions in Rafah, Gaza. Immediate action is required. Full statement 👇 nrc.no/news/2024/may/ngos-de…

At least 40 children, women and men are confirmed dead in Rafah after an Israeli airstrike last night on tents housing those forced to flee within Gaza. How many more red lines must be crossed? Our appeal to EU leaders meeting now: #NoMoreRedLines

Op-Ed: there exist no moral arguments that can justify the continued sale of weapons to Israel by states that respect the principle of the universality of human rights. irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/…

We are devastated to be marking 150 days of genocide. As of today, 30,631 people, including 12,000 children, have been murdered by the Israeli military. We will always bear witness. We will never forget. Ceasefire NOW!

Leaving the endless, miserable displacement camps of Rafah with a deep sense of urgency. People cannot sustain more bombardment nor hunger. In Gaza’s North it is even worse: famine, chaos and desperation. Only ceasefire and opening of all border crossings can save lives.

I am appalled by the tragic human toll of the conflict in Gaza - more than 30,000 people reportedly killed and over 70,000 injured. I reiterate my call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and the unconditional release of all hostages.

Our podcast this week will feature a women's rights activist and lawyer from #Afghanistan who will speak about her lived experience as she tries to advocate for women and girls in Afghanistan.

🚨 Ireland and Spain call for “urgent review of whether Israel is complying with its obligations, including under the EU/Israel Association Agreement. They express ‘deep concern’ at deteriorating situation in israel & Gaza. Calls on israel to abide by IHL

The Israeli government is launching the most dangerous stage of its genocide on Palestinians. 🧵

Lack of a childcare strategy&affordable childcare in NI is crippling families and forcing many women out of the labour market. We need to stop thinking of the short term implementation costs in isolation but balance this with the positive impact on the labour market #actionnow

Great to be joined now #scipeaceconf by @volker_turk UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. He describes #GFA as a civil society miracle & suggests NI has many important lessons for other conflicts.
