Gaza is on the cusp of a major wave of secondary mortality.

The minimal aid getting in is no match for the larger humanitarian trajectory.

Biden’s continued opposition to a cease fire, and refusal to put meaningful restraints on IDF, functionally mean accepting that outcome.

I'm guessing that the poem's title was a riff on Claude McKay's 'If We Must Die' written after the red summer of 1919 where hundreds of Black men, women and children were killed by white mobs. Here is McKay's

Malawi and Kenya sending labourers to Israel to replace fieldworker who fled war. Rwanda receiving displaced African migrants from European countries. Our chiefs are still trading “black ivory”. I cannot overlook the optics of how devalued Black life still is in Africa.

OK so we've heard a lot of warm words about the need to stand firm against antisemitism and islamophobia. so you'd have thought actual bomb threats against the East London Mosque and a Muslim primary school in Ilford might have garnered some coverage.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the tragic murder of Dr Ayman Jerjawi

Dr. Ayman, an exceptional anesthesia specialist, was killed today in an Israeli bombing. He remained in Beit Lahia, dedicating himself to treating patients at Kamal Idwan Hospital until last breath

'Some of these bodies are piling up in morgues, funeral parlours and even shipping containers across the continent. Visiting 24 cemeteries and working with researchers, the team found more than 1,000 nameless graves.'

The number of homeless refugees in London has risen 39% in one month

London councils anticipate these numbers will rise even further, as the government ramps up asylum decisions while working to close more hotels used to house asylum seekers

Among those detainees is my dear friend and veteran journalist Diaa Al-Kahlot. I had begged him to leave Beit Lahia and go to the south of Wadi Gaza, but he told me how to leave your dear Nada and my elderly mother.

This is a journalist. But even if it was a baker, a worker, an unemployed.. they do not deserve this. They are our brothers and fathers and sons. They are beloved ones for someone.
so much darkness right now.. They are not going going to survive this if we don’t stop it

Find it really grim when The Sun latches onto love for good people for clicks. When Benjamin Zephaniah went for a job at Cambridge, they published the piece 'would you let this man near your daughter' which made him sound, in his own words, 'like I was some sort of rapist'.

This whole article is crazy, Germany sounds crazy. Was invited there next spring to discuss Sartre and literature but would be ridiculous to go in this political environment

In a single day: the undermining of Gaza's groundwater and soil; the incineration of Gaza's municipal archives; and, if yesterday's numbers are any indication, the annihilation of a 1000 souls (more flesh and blood beneath the rubble). The demand remains the same, disappear.

Tonight on the district line a man put a long glug of squeezy honey in his chardonnay before drinking from the bottle and then a man got out a big rock of crack and started smoking it.
