It's been a really long time since I wrote any sort of poetry, but I have seen so many interviews and so many creators who have spoken out about the Palestinian experience- about what is happening in Gaza, and how they are treated by the media and actors in bad faith and I had to write something.

“These lies live on camera that Israel sticks to the rules of international law. Seriously?”

The archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, cancelled plans to meet the Bethlehem-based Lutheran pastor Munther Isaac, saying he could not meet him if he shared a platform with the former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn at a pro-Palestinian rally, the pastor has said. Isaac, the pastor of the Christmas Evangelical Lutheran church in Bethlehem, who has been highly critical of Israel in Gaza, saw his Christmas sermon go viral when he said if Jesus Christ was born today it would have been under the rubble. He spoke at a Palestinian Solidarity Campaign rally at the weekend where Corbyn was also a speaker after being invited by the Palestinian ambassador to the UK, Husam Zomlot.
[...]
In an interview with the Guardian, Isaac said he was told by the archbishop’s aides that if he shared a platform with Corbyn, no meeting could happen. Isaac said: “It’s shameful. It’s not my type of Christianity not to be willing to meet another pastor because you don’t want to explain why you met him. “This sums up the Church of England. They danced around positions, and ended up saying nothing. They lack the courage to say things.” He added: “The small Christian community in Gaza has discovered what is hell on earth. Most of them have lost their homes: 45 destroyed completely and 55 partially destroyed. There is no life left for them. This war will most likely bring an end to Christian life in Gaza. Everyone wants to leave. “It is so painful for us to see the Christian church turn a blind eye to what is happening, offering words of concern and compassion, but for so long they have been silent in the face of obvious war crimes. Churches seem paralysed, and they seem willing to sacrifice the Christian presence in Palestine for the sake of avoiding controversy and not criticising Israel. I have had so many difficult conversations with church leaders. “I know from meeting many church leaders that in private, they say one thing, and then in public, they say another thing. I’ve had the same experience with many politicians and diplomats.” Isaac, on a visit to the UK to build support for the Palestinians, said an immediate ceasefire was “a moral obligation”. He added: “This is not a time for neutrality or soft diplomacy. Gaza should be your moral compass.”

Today we laid out over 5 Kilometres of children’s outfits to represent over 11,500 children killed in Palestine by Israel and the 36 Israeli children killed on Oct 7th.
The UK & US government should be doing everything they can to protect these children, not supporting the mass slaughter of them. As Gaza continues to experience the worst crime against humanity possible, genocide, our government, your government, is aiding Israel and using your taxes to pay for this unimaginable horror.
It’s hard to imagine the scale of 11,500 dead children. We hope this allows you to see the unfathomable loss and destruction unleashed on Gaza.
Enough is enough. It’s not hard to say it, Ceasefire NOW.
——————
Thank you to IG: @ledbydonkeys for organising this powerful installation, their London activist partners for making the journey to work alongside our local community through @palestinesolidaritymvmt and @humantiproject - all of whom spent hours laying these clothes down.
Audio: Husam Zomlot
All clothes featured will be donated to charities, with us coordinating some being delivered to Gaza.

Palestinian ambassador to the United Kingdom Husam Zomlot has called for action from the International Criminal Court (ICC) after Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians waiting for food assistance in northern Gaza. The attack killed at least 112 and wounded 760 others, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. “This is genocide: Shooting and killing dozens [of] starving people waiting for aid trucks to feed their children in the besieged north of Gaza,” Zomlot said in a social media post. “This is Israel’s barbarism and savagery. Every state that enables this or stays silent is complicit, and [ICC prosecutor] @KarimKhanQC is still dragging his feet.”
-- "Palestinian UK envoy calls on ICC to act following Israeli attack on aid seekers" by Federica Marsi, Usaid Siddiqui, Ali Harb and Brian Osgood for Al Jazeera, 29 Feb 2024 20:10 GMT

A 48-year-old man has appeared in court over the shooting of three men of Palestinian descent in Vermont.
Jason J Eaton was taken into custody on Sunday near the site of the shooting in Burlington, police said. They added that officers later searched his home.
Hisham Awartani, Tahseen Ahmed and Kinnan Abdalhamid were attacked near the University of Vermont on Saturday.
The men were speaking Arabic and two were wearing keffiyeh - a traditional scarf - when they were shot.
The three men, who are all aged 20, were visiting the home of one of their relatives over the Thanksgiving holiday when a white man confronted them with a gun outside the property, police said.
He allegedly fired at least four rounds at them without speaking and then fled.
Two of the victims were shot in the torso while the third was hit in his lower extremities, police said. Two are in a stable condition while the third sustained more serious injuries.
At a procedural hearing on Monday, the suspect spoke only to confirm his name. He will be held without bail until another hearing takes place in the next few days.
Mr Eaton lived in an apartment building opposite the location of the shooting on Prospect Street, according to police. He was reportedly arrested as federal agents were canvassing near the scene on Sunday.
They searched his home shortly after. "Evidence collected during that search warrant, and additional evidence developed during the course of this investigation, gave investigators and prosecutors probable cause to believe that Mr Eaton perpetrated the shooting," police said.
Rich Price, an uncle of one of the victims, said the three men had been visiting an eight-year-old's birthday party. "The last thing that we imagine could be possible was that in our family neighbourhood, they would walk down the street and this would happen to them," he said.
"Less than five minutes [after] them leaving our home, we saw the sirens and the flashing lights of police cruisers go by our house. And we thought, boy, something's going on.
He had "no idea that it was my nephew and his friends."
Earlier, the families of the victims released a statement through the pro-Palestinian non-profit organisation Institute for Middle East Understanding.
They called on law enforcement to conduct a thorough investigation and to treat the attack as a hate crime.
After the shooting, the Council on American-Islamic relations offered a $10,000 (£7,900) reward for information leading to an arrest.
Ambassador Husam Zomlot, the head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK, posted a photo of the three victims on social media and added: "The hate crimes against Palestinians must stop."
