It’s Alaa’s birthday today. He’s turning 42.

This is the 10th birthday he spends inside prison, away from his family, away from his son, away from his friends.

Last night, 37 of my close family members in Gaza were murdered by Israeli air strikes on the building in which they were sheltering. The only survivor is a child: an eight year old girl.

My family would be alive if we had a ceasefire yesterday. How many more need to be…

This is Karen. I found her today in a protest in Bath holding a placard with the names and ages of my 21 family members killed by Israel last month.

The amount of love, sympathy and care I receive from the British people here is magnificent.

God bless you.

'From the River to the Sea' is a statement I have heard for decades, and my fondness or sheer disdain for it was often based on who was saying it. Yes, for some, it means justice for all--Palestinians and Jews--and for others, it is a total disregard for the Israeli population.

Huge panic in Al Shifa - Doctors say Israel Defense Forces order complete evacuation of Gaza’s largest & packed hospital within 1 hour. Head of Orthopedics: “severe state of panic & fear & we will not leave the hospital except with the patients.” This follows no major military discoveries there

I am in Bahrain for the Manama Dialogue, and one theme that consistently comes up is big frustration - from governments, civil society, analysts - with the West's double standards. You may agree or disagree, but that's the perception here, and it will cause damage to relations.

Possibly the most interesting post I’ve read since this began, from a Gaza resident criticizing Israel, Hamas and PIJ alike. A colleague from Gaza comments that this is the majority view in the Strip today.

Whatever their views on Gaza people need to understand that many in the Jewish community are frightened and feel attacked right now. They are hurting and hoping that as an act of solidarity many will attend the demonstration against antisemitism on the 26th.
