At long last there is actual attention from the BBC and hopefully now people across the UK on the apartheid prison system in Israel that denies Palestinians rights to a fair trial, or even a charge, and locks children up -

Almost every line in this interview is another piece of shocking and depressing info about how differently the US government is treating this conflict from any other. The censorship and control, and dismissal of Palestinians at so many levels -

The Home Secretary labelling pro-Palestine protests ‘hate marches’ is inflammatory
Right now we need clear and responsible leadership – not politicians sowing fear and division

Very happy to be @rightscon, extremely outraged by the discriminatory treatments some of us had to go through to try and be there. Many Black people had to face an ad hoc control, before security check, by immigration officers taking pictures of our passports on their phones👇🏿
