We have written to the new UK Defence Secretary @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social to urge him to do credit to his recent appointment by acting on his previous public statements concerning Israel’s war crimes in Gaza. The question is no longer what he believes, but what he is prepared to do.
🗓️ EVENT, 19 June: Together Against the Death Penalty The horror facing Palestinian hostages is at a terrifying apex. We cannot stay silent. Part panel discussion, part mobilisation space. Come to listen, network, & stay informed. 🎟️ https://eventbrite.pulse.ly/j1tpl2fbxk #Palestine #Event
We've written to UNESCO raising concerns over the recent raiding of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israeli settlers & Ben-Gvir. The safeguarding of Palestinian cultural and religious sites from Israeli appropriation & attack is a duty the UN must not fail to uphold. ℹ️ https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/ynyr92vmeh
Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Wishah was killed in an Israeli drone strike near Gaza City. His death brings the number of Palestinian journalists killed since October 2023 to 262. It is the deadliest war for journalists in history. ℹ️ https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/kylexojav0
While Al-Aqsa has been closed to Palestinian Muslims for over a month throughout Ramadan, Ben-Gvir’s permitted raid of the compound exposes Israel's flagrant double standards. It's emblematic of Israel’s erasure of Muslim & Christian sites across the oPt. https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/viopkglgga
The only thing that can stop Israel's genocide in Gaza is forcing Israel to face consequences for its crimes. That's where we come in. ICJP fights to protect the rights of Palestinians through the law. Donate now to help us ensure accountability for Gaza: https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/isdxhvtnxy
"My friend noted how out-of-touch scholarship applications can be, asking Palestinians to describe our 7-year plans. Whether we have a home, or are even still alive, remain our primary day-to-day questions." Dania Abul Haj on Ramadan in Jerusalem ☪️ ➡️🔗 https://middleeasteye.pulse.ly/qgbmiln664
We've raised a complaint with the Met Police about their off-duty officer who called an @aljazeera.com Palestinian journalist a “dog” 👉 https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/0eyifzoccy Police officers must act fairly, professionally, and without bias. They should not verbally abuse members of the public
While Western governments have expressed ‘deep concern’ over the bill, their words remain perfunctory. An urgent, uniform response is needed to call out Israel’s targeted killing of Palestinians and its explicit apartheid legal system. ℹ️ Full statement: https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/iz91qm6zma
Israel denied Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa entry to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday. This is an act of religious persecution. Neither Christians nor Muslims are free to practise their religion in occupied Jerusalem. ℹ️ https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/7tl3yzldb5
In response to ICJP's complaint about JNF UK's funds being linked to Israeli military activities, the Charity Commission said JNF's activities were “capable of being charitable.” We believe the Commission has failed to properly engage with the evidence. ➡️ https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/3lvacuyiik
ICJP has submitted evidence to the UN Independent Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel, focusing on killings & incidents of serious bodily or mental harm linked to distribution of aid in Gaza. ➡️ https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/ul85wloozi
“It is unconscionable that @torontomet.bsky.social would allow, repeatedly, its affiliated student groups to host and amplify soldiers of a military under investigation by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity." 📝 Full Statement: https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/xuhezdb5bm
🚨 ACTION: GEBehatokia has joined our Global 195 coalition. We have lodged a complaint of criminal offences to the Spanish Public Prosecutor’s Office concerning individuals we believe to have perpetrated war crimes. We now call for the Spanish authorities to launch a formal investigation.
The UK Government must take immediate action to halt Israel’s E1 settlement project in the occupied West Bank. ICJP and our partners have sent a letter to this effect addressed to Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper as part of the Global Sanctions Coalition. ℹ️ https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/qpekrhzcw2
"Israel is trying to impose a new reality in which they have full control over Al Aqsa Mosque and Haram Al Shairf.” Our new report on Israel's religious persecution of Palestinian Muslims is out now ➡️ https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/hlgxbirw83
ICJP & 20 other orgs have written to the UK Government calling for a ban on imports of goods from Israel’s illegal settlements, to protect the UK public against widespread involvement in money laundering. 🔎 Full letter: https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/fpc49ibt81 🔄 Share with your MP

The UK government has stated that it does not approve of ‘regime change from the skies’ in Iran. If so, it must not be complicit in its bombardment through the use of UK military bases. Full statement ➡️ https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/822kk8xs4f
Israeli settlers have been illegally and steadily encroaching on Palestinian land in the West Bank for decades, aided by tacit encouragement from the Israeli State. But Israel has now openly signed into law what was beforehand approved only quietly. 📺 https://youtube.pulse.ly/yldlpplek6
HOW TO HELP | DONATE 👇 https://crowdjustice.pulse.ly/mgoeirrfem Dr Ghassan is a war surgeon accused of supporting 'terrorism' after speaking up for patients in Gaza. A hearing found the allegation was false, but the GMC is asking the High Court to review the decision. Help him fight for justice.
ICJP has written to the General Medical Council of the UK seeking clarification over its policy on the recognition of medical qualifications granted by bodies located on stolen Palestinian land in illegal Israeli settlements. Read our full statement 👇 https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/39rgxauc6z
"For Israel & pro-Israel groups, the removal of Palestinians from the present is not enough; it also insists on erasing them from history" We wrote to the British Museum for clarification on the decision to remove the word “Palestine” from some displays ℹ️ https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/szeigqavbm
🚫 Israel’s West Bank ‘land grab’ is an escalation of apartheid disguised as admin procedure. The UK must respond with sanctions on Israeli ministers in their official capacity, and an official response to the ICJ's Advisory Opinion ⚖️ ➡️ https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/dra7gvrgbs
Is the UK complicit in genocide? We all know the answer is yes. If you're looking for a clear explanation with the statistics and facts you need to back you up, you can find it here: 👉 https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/9xonb1eshe Share far and wide 🫴
The High Court has ruled the proscription of Palestine Action unlawful — a common sense ruling in favour of free speech and civil liberties Yet the gov's focus remains criminalising those opposing genocide rather than ending UK complicity in war crimes ℹ️ https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/ldw7qvxocx
🚨📢 Here we go again... Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah is facing further legal harassment. Despite the GMC's case against him being dismissed by two tribunals as of January, the GMC are now appealing that decision. Which means we have more work to do. Support now ⬇️ https://gofundme.pulse.ly/bt61ztzefu

“Any plan for Gaza that excludes Palestinian voices and lives is not peace. It is power-grabbing dressed up as diplomacy.” — Órlaith Roe, Public Affairs Officer Our statement on Trump's so-called 'Board of Peace' ⬇️ https://icjpalestine.pulse.ly/ihjpsb80us #FreePalestine #PalestineForPalestinians
