Israel has kidnapped hundreds of people in international waters.

They were trying to break an illegal siege which is starving the people of Gaza.

The flotilla is the best of us 👇

I’ve been saying for years the Netanyahu does not care about diaspora Jews. If you don’t live in Israel he will happily see you as colateral for his genocide. All my love to all Jews in this sad Yom Kippur. Keep being your feisty loud funny selves 💜✡️

@educatorsforpeace.bsky.social launched the first of our webinar series of professional development last night. Great to so many teachers/educators engage with us on the need to address the rise of #racism & the #FarRight, including challenging conversations dealt with compassion and humanity.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

Members of our team were at the GGEC rally in Edinburgh today. We stand in solidarity with Palestinians. We denounce the scholasticide in Gaza - the killing of learning. We uphold the UNCRC and social justice as educators and reject neutrality in the face of such gross injustice.

My thoughts on the disturbing incident of a young Muslim girl who was racially attacked on Monday after school while walking home in a leafy suburb of Glasgow. I am in disbelief that this is happening in 2025. Everyone has a responsibility to make sure this doesn't become the norm including schools.
