We asked Minority Whip Rep. Katherine Clark why she took back her correct statement that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. While she’s out to dinner with family, Palestinians are being forcibly starved with US backing. Now is the time for key leaders to act, not back down.

Rep. Katherine Clark called it genocide. Then walked it back. She’s taken $572,808 from the Israel lobby. Now she says she’s not accusing Israel of genocide. But we will. It is a genocide. Say it. Mean it. Don’t apologize for the truth.

We must not be bystanders to genocide. A UN commission has proved that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza and now the Genocide Convention compels us to take action. Me on LBC with Andrew Marr earlier.

History will not forgive Europe for being complicit in the genocide that Israel is carrying out against the Palestinian people. We must act now, with urgency. Economic sanctions and arms embargo, time is running out.

I spoke with Peter Beinart, who pushed back against the notion that it’s antisemitic to say Jews in Israel are committing a genocide in Gaza. “Its entirely possible for people to go from being victims to victimizer” Spot on analysis.

Torah Jews stand with the Palestinian people. We are calling out to the world, please do not be silent, shout out. Israel is committing genocide in Palestine. Let's all raise our voices against Israel's genocide. Being against Israel does not make you an anti-Semite because Israel is not a state for the Jews.

🇵🇸 🇿🇦 “There is growing global consensus that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. As Palestinians continue to face genocide and famine, we have a duty to act. South Africa has acted in the interest of saving lives by insisting that the International Court of Justice should make a ruling that indeed genocide is being committed in Gaza and that it should stop. And we stand here to say it must stop.”

This #Jewish lady stands for Humanity & the Freedom of the #PalestinianPeople. THANK YOU. She is mad at other #AmericanJews for backing #Israel & sick of seeing the #Holocaust being used as propaganda to #Genocide the #Palestinians. That is NOT what her family would have wanted!

We were never bombed from the skies with nowhere to go. The Palestinians have nowhere to go. Not only are they being bombed from the skies they're now being starved to death. Israel are war criminals. It's a f*cking genocide. KNEECAP #Glastonbury2025 #FreePalenstine

Channel 4 exposed Eurovision's double standard. 'Five countries are boycotting because of Israel. Russia was banned for invading Ukraine. Israel is not banned. Protesters are being pulled from the arena. Politics is drowning out the music' Russia is unpopular enough to ban. Israel has enough Western backing to protect - even while committing genocide.

Remember this Christmas that Jesus is Palestinian. Remember that Christmas is cancelled in His birthplace Bethlehem, occupied by the same Israeli army committing genocide in Gaza. Remember this Christmas being Christian is to stand with the oppressed in Palestine, not Israel.

After vetoing a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza for the 4th time, the US Ambassador to the UN says the US "will continue to actively engage in the hard work of direct diplomacy on the ground until we reach a Final Solution.” Nearly 30,000 Palestinians have been killed in the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, while 700,000 people are being starved in northern Gaza as Israel continues to block food and water from entry.

It’s not over. Almost two months into the so-called “ceasefire” in Gaza, Israel is still killing Palestinians there and in the West Bank. Gaza is still being starved and homes in it destroyed. Ethnic cleansing in the West Bank is accelerating. We cannot treat this as normal. When we face genocide, apartheid and ethnic cleansing – we choose to resist. If you believe, as we do, that in moments like this we must choose a side – support B’Tselem. Join our fight to defend human rights from the river to the sea and to expose the crimes Israel is committing against Palestinians. Every donation makes a difference. Every share is part of the struggle for justice, freedom and equality. In the face of genocide – choose to resist.

“These are the sons of my friend Duha. They are being starved in Gaza.” A teacher tried to give Rep. Virginia Foxx a photo of two children actively being starved by Israel. She looked at the photo… and turned away. No words. No comment. Just silence in the face of genocide. This is what complicity looks like. Shame, Rep. Foxx. Stop funding genocide.
