Some news. I’m now @Caabu ’s Head of Parliamentary Affairs. I’m proud of our vital work. The horrors & brutality faced by Palestinians, & the depressing and dehumanising reactions to it, make me & so many of us determined to fight harder. We have failed Gaza & Palestinians.

The UK’s nasty, wretched, & racist visa policy strikes again, with @Ons_Jabeur ’s parents unable to see her in today’s historic Wimbledon Final, being the first Arab to reach a Grand Slam Final, because they can’t get a visa to come from Tunisia. Shameful

Of course, as many are rightly pointing out the BBC has Nigel Farage on @bbcquestiontime this evening. Not a BBC employee, but his racism, anti refugee and migrant rhetoric, among other things is constant. and yet they continue to give him a platform. Why?

An apology & clarification from the BBC for incorrectly saying that Bethlehem is in Israel. We must continue to challenge & call out those who contribute to the erasure of Palestinians & deny the grim realities of occupation that they live under.

Hear the chilling screams of these Palestinian children in Jerusalem’s Old City, as right wing Jewish extremists assault & terrorise this family in their home. Hundreds of Israeli youth are marching through Palestinian areas chanting “death to Arabs”.

But Palestinians @_LFI ? About 5.5mil Palestinians live in territory occupied by Israel in 1967. They can’t vote & have no representation in a brutal military occupation that dictates their lives. Not a “vibrant democracy”. This is apartheid. @btselem :

Not a "vibrant democracy". This is apartheid.

Some 15 million people live under one regime between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, about half Jews and half Palestinians. Yet all Palestinians – whether defined citizens, residents or...

Yesterday, the Middle East’s only democracy went to the polls. While the final numbers from yesterday’s election remains unclear, it appears likely that Netanyahu will be able to form a coalition government.
