The police killed one of the two victims and shot one of the three currently receiving treatment. That's 50% of deaths and 33% of injuries.
🚨 BREAKING: Greater Manchester Police say two people, including one of the victims, were unintentionally shot in their response to yesterdays attack
Lush, which operates more than 100 stores across the UK, has closed all of them in protest against the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza. Its website has also been taken down for the day, replaced with the Palestinian flag reading: ‘Stop starving Gaza. We are closed in solidarity’
Did they offer Mandela a two state solution for ending Apartheid? Asking for a Palestine
Palestinian statehood is a right. Not leverage to use against Israel.
Something deeply evil about a society that creates a trillionaire before it solves homelessness or hunger
Elon Musk is now officially worth $405.6 billion, projected to become the world’s first trillionaire by 2027.
Big up, the actor who unfolded a Palestinian flag on stage at the Royal Opera House.
It's really worth being very very clear that a genocide started and people obviously started protesting that and the British government responded by creating a new category of terrorist to enable the genocide to continue. This should be a radicalising event for everyone
Palestine Action has now been proscribed by the UK Government and expressing support for them is a criminal offence. This includes chanting, wearing clothing or displaying articles such as flags, signs or logos. news.met.police.uk/news/update-on…
Palestinians aren’t stateless because they failed to negotiate. They’re stateless because colonialism doesn’t negotiate with the people it plans to erase.
They once called Nelson Mandela a terrorist, and now they have a statue of him in Parliament Square, London. We are all Palestine Action

This is war propaganda and extremely dangerous rhetoric. It's exactly what the UK and USA pulled to justify invading Iraq, looking for weapons that didn't exist, killing over a million citizens and causing permanent instability in the region.

As the person who awarded the Honorary Doctorate to Pep Guardiola on behalf of @OfficialUoM not only could you hear a pin drop while he was speaking but he got a heartfelt standing ovation from the congregation It’s not about ideology, it’s about humanity
The system is so broken that it views empathy as disobedience.
I don’t know how we have allowed this. They’re mocking them before our eyes. My blood is boiling.
All the passengers of the ‘selfie yacht’ are safe and unharmed. They were provided with sandwiches and water. The show is over.
1. sandwiches and water don’t make up for the fact that you intercepted their ship in violation of international law. 2. hilarious to see you lot saying “selfie yacht” while your soldiers are known to photograph themselves committing war crimes. call it the selfie army, perhaps?

Israel's blockade is illegal. Israel's seizure of the Madleen is illegal. Israel's occupation is illegal. Israel's genocide is illegal. The whole world is watching you now, Israel. Release these humanitarians to continue their mission.
As the Madleen was reportedly intercepted and seized by Israeli forces in int'l waters, the UK gov must urgently seek full clarification and secure the immediate release of the vessel & its crew. The Madleen must be allowed to continue its lawful humanitarian mission to Gaza.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
