🚨 PLEASE SHARE! I've written to both my children's schools following the Government's antisemitism review. I WILL NOT accept genocide being presented as a two-sided political debate, or Palestinian history and suffering being erased from their education. I've drafted a template which I'm sharing for other parents to use or adapt. Political impartiality must NEVER become historical dishonesty. Please use them. Challenge your schools. Demand answers. #GazaGenocide docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Israel’s apartheid system is turning the olive harvest into a season of horror for families in the occupied West Bank. This is state-sponsored brutality. It is ethnic cleansing. npr.org/2026/10/21/nx-s1-601…

80 Israelis and Americans, including NY Democrat Brad Lander, detained in West Bank

U.S. Democratic congressional nominee Brad Lander was detained along with about 80 American and Israeli rabbis and activists by Israeli security forces as they helped Palestinian olive harvesters.

This is NOT a concert. This is NOT a festival. This is Gaza today. Tens of thousands of starving people running for a bag of flour 💔 This is what forced starvation looks like.

Israeli apartheid on live stream

An Israeli policeman detains an elderly Palestinian bus driver in Jerusalem for no reason whatsoever. This is daily life for Palestinians all across Palestine. Via @Ahmad_tibi: "It's not just street thugs attacking Arab bus drivers - it's cops too. Look at what a cop does to an elderly Arab bus driver: he handcuffs him, humiliates him. Passengers try to appeal to the cop to release him: "Not before I identify him." "I'm sick", the driver tells him. "I'm sick too," the cop replies. A sick cop."

Il collega che accompagnava Heidi Levine, giornalista del Washington Post, punta il dito contro l’esercito d’occupazione israeliano: «L’IDF ha fornito copertura con gas lacrimogeni e mitragliatrici mentre i coloni massacravano di botte Heidi Levine. Poi i soldati hanno sparato a un passante palestinese, puntato le armi contro i paramedici che cercavano di soccorrerlo e li hanno spintonati. Tutto documentato». L’ennesimo atto di terrorismo dei coloni israeliani. Hanno scaraventato a terra una collega di 64 anni e l’hanno pestata a calci, pugni e bastonate. Poi le hanno rubato la fotocamera e il telefono. I video sono agghiaccianti. Diciannove pacchetti di sanzioni contro la Russia, zero contro Israele, ZERO.

This will get overshadowed by the attack on an American journalist, but half an hour after Heidi was beaten, the IDF shot a Palestinian man simply standing inside his own village. Then the soldiers pointed an assault rifle at the paramedics trying to help the victim.

This little girl watched her mother be burned alive in Gaza. If she was Israeli, this image would be front page news. But Israel can kill Palestinians in the most horrific ways without generating any headlines.

A reminder that Margaret Hodge of JLM profited personally from apartheid in South Africa. She doesn’t have the morality to speak about racism or antisemitism. She is an apartheid profiteer za.boell.org/en/2019/12/01/d…

Dame Margaret Hodge MP – A Very British Apartheid Profiteer | Heinrich Böll Stiftung | Cape Town....

Margaret Hodge has clothed herself in the claim that she has dedicated her life to fighting racism – that her very ‘being’ was anti-racist, as she said in March 2019. The facts suggest otherwise.

Where Are You, Eddie? by @MichaelRosenYes, illustrated by Gill Smith, is a beautifully personal book and a sensitive way of opening up difficult conversations about loss and grief with pupils. I can't begin to imagine how difficult it must have been to write.
