Dear Friends,
Aid is being dropped while bombs from the same country continue to slaughter and maim the civilian population.
JUST STOP KILLING!!!!!!!!!!
#ceasefire #stopthegenocide
Dear Friends…
If you have one OUNCE of humanity you cannot accept this war machine which is killing and injuring THOUSANDS of innocent Palestinian children.
Please watch this video and take a moment to reflect.
This could be YOUR children.
The WORLD CANNOT simply accept this atrocity and allow it to continue. Shame on ALL the world leaders who are complicit in this monstrousity.
#ceasefire #stopthegenocide
Dear Friends,
Please take a moment to watch and listen to the words of one of my absolute heroes.
Former President of Ireland – co-founder and chair of The Elders – Mary Robinson is a BRILLIANT human rights advocate – stateswoman and SO much more!!
Never afraid to speak truth to power, with wisdom, vision and clarity.
She speaks truth to power with deep conviction and eloquence.
This is REALLY worth a moment of your time.

Dear Friends…
This is a VERY HARD message to share, but I feel it’s essential to stay aware of what STARVATION as a weapon of destruction actually looks like.
This precious young boy is Yazan Al Kafarna, who was forcibly displaced from Gaza to the city of Rafah.
He is on the verge of death, due to lack of food and oxygen in hospitals and health care.
As a result of the Israel Gaza conflict, the entire health care system has now totally collapsed..
@savegazaschildren is an NGO dedicated to supporting the children of Gaza with life saving emergency medical care. Please go to their website and do whatever you can to support their lifesaving work.
#ceasefire #stopthegenocide
Dear Friends…
I found out this morning that 10 year old Yazan Al – Kafarna had tragically passed away. A slow painful death through gradual starvation. His young life was snuffed out to join the death toll of over 12,300 children who have been killed in Gaza so far.
25,000 women and children – the combined numbers.
As each day passes, we must keep calling for CEASEFIRE and an END to the GENOCIDE.
This orgy of killing, devastation and destruction MUST END.
#ceasefire #stopthegenocide
Dear Friends,
I URGE you to watch and LISTEN to this URGENT message from @misanharriman
WHY ISN’T THIS LIVING HELL
FOR GAZA’S PREGNANT WOMEN AND THEIR BABIES SPREAD ACROSS THE HEADLINES OF EVERY MEDIA OUTLET?????
Please SHARE Misan’s message with as many people as you can. Thankyou everyone! Please SPEAK UP!
Don’t give up!!!

Dear Friends,
Please listen to the devastating testimony of writer and activist, Susan Abulhawa, who has just returned from spending two weeks in Gaza.
This nightmare beyond nightmares MUST STOP!!!
Joe Biden MUST compel the Israeli government to CEASE and DESIST RIGHT NOW!!!
@democracynow
Thanks to @eveensler for this clip.
I unquestionably wish to see the return of all the remaining hostages. That is a given. #ceasefire
Dear Friends,
Described as the worst catastrophe in Jewish history since the 1940’s – the events of Oct 7th, where over 1,200 people were killed in one day have left Israelis and the Jewish diaspora profoundly traumatised, terrorised and angry.
The families and friends of the victims and hostages endure agonising grief, loss and despair. I feel absolute compassion and empathy for everyone affected.
While in Gaza…
The world has been watching the systematic brutal destruction of an entire population of over 2.3 million people for 5 hellish months, with relentless bombing, shooting, bulldozing, displacement and starvation, as well as the collapse of the entire infrastructure.
Over 31,000 Palestinians have been killed, with over 70,000 wounded -( many with missing limbs)
How many more lives must it take to end this appalling Armageddon?
#ceasefire
#stopthegenocide
Dear Friends,
No human being should EVER have to endure an endless onslaught of bombardment, destruction, devastation, injury, excruciating pain, trauma, vulnerability, anguish, loss, grief, slaughter, displacement, anxiety, terror, starvation, torture and cruelty every single day. Most especially when there is NO escape and NOWHERE is safe.
THIS HAS TO STOP!!!!!
Keep calling for PERMANENT CEASEFIRE
#ceasefire #genocide #warcrime
Dear Friends,
This is how empathy, compassion and humanity is expressed…
There are tears and profound grief.
From reading the thousands of your comments, it’s very evident that MOST of you understand and share this experience of ‘empathy’.
When this capacity is missing, we have lost an aspect of our ‘souls’ – our decency – our kindness..
After witnessing THOUSANDS of men, women and children being shot, bombed, crushed under rubble, wounded and starved or taken hostage, it’s ESSENTIAL that we don’t ‘normalise’ these atrocities.

Dear Friends…
On International Women’s Day 2024.
Right now in Gaza, 37 mothers are killed every day.
From the estimated death toll of over 30,000 – 70% of this figure are women and children…
All we are saying….is give PEACE a chance.

Dear Friends,
Every pressure must be put upon Israel to CEASEFIRE and STOP this intolerable nightmare.
Much appreciation for the tremendous work of @womenforwomen
#ceasefire
Dear Friends,
OUTRAGEOUS indeed!!!!
Along with the relentless destruction of
Gaza and her people, STARVATION and FAMINE are taking hold, while trucks carrying vital aid are being deliberately prevented from entering the area!
World leaders have the power to end this hellish nightmare.
What in the name of god is preventing this??!!
SHAME ON EVERY ONE OF THEM!!

Dear Friends,
The First Minister of Scotland, @humzayousaf gives a warning about the impending ground invasion of Rafah on March 10th, which, if it goes ahead, will be absolutely catastrophic.
Although I’m not a religious person I must say that I am fervently PRAYING this will not happen. PRAYING for the innocent men women and children, who are being killed, wounded, starved, displaced, traumatised, tortured and denied fundamental human rights and dignity.
#ceasefire #stopgenocide
Dear Friends,
This is SO horrendous…
We must KEEP TALKING – KEEP ADVOCATING for CEASEFIRE and an end to this genocidal horror show!
All these so-called leaders reveal themselves to be is monstrous facilitators of death and destruction. The tragedy is man – made. It could stop right now. It MUST STOP!!!!
Please share this with your contacts.. friends.. family!
#ceasefire #endthegenocide
Dear Friends,
In 200& the UN Security Council adopted a resolution, stating that sexual violence – ‘rape’ can constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity or a constitutive act with respect to genocide’
Please share this clip among your contacts! The Western media aren’t speaking up!
And this includes ALL atrocities that take place against women and girls like this EVERYWHERE!!
#ceasefire #stopthegenocide
Dear Friends
Palestinians are being deliberately targeted in their desperate effort to feed their families.
One bag of flour = a human life.
This situation is abhorrent.
I have so many words – but no words are adequate.
This took 75 years in the making..Where are the SOLUTIONS?
Where is the power of POLITICAL LEADERSHIP to STOP this genocide???
ONE BAG OF FLOUR!!!!!?????

Dear Friends,
Gaza Has Become an Open Air Graveyard….
33 family members
Mostly children
All killed
In one second
One daughter
Has survived
With terrible burns.
He comes to the ruins
Of his former home
Carrying a small bag
Containing
All his worldly goods
Standing
In the rubble
Of his former home
No-one is left
This Ramadan…
Standing
In the ruins
Of his former
Home.

Dear Friends,
I hear and see the rhetoric of politicians and CANNOT UNDERSTAND how they can LIVE with themselves. They go home to their families at night..
How do they SLEEP???
Don’t they know what these bombs and bullets do???
Don’t they REALISE the CONSEQUENCES of their calculated decisions??
CHILDREN JUST LIKE THEIRS have LOST EVERYTHING as a result???
THEY are creating a HELL ON EARTH for the children and of GAZA.. They must ALL be so INURED to their own psychopathy that they have NO FEELING whatsoever.
In denial of destroying THOUSANDS of children’s lives. They are ALL COMPLICIT!!
ps… Yes! I’m ranting with OUTRAGE!!
#Ceasefire #stopthegenocide
Dear Friends,
I’m posting an excerpt of an interview given by Pastor and Theologian Rev Munther Isaac two days ago, where he says that world leaders are complicit in the genocide taking place in Gaza.
Furthermore – he explains that this entire catastrophe has been planned out all along.
Politics is evidently a dark complicity of intrigue, money, power, greed, warfare and corruption, where ‘decency’ and ‘humanity’ hold little sway.
All I call for is CEASEFIRE and the END to this indecent ‘so called’ war. If the Torah, the Bible or the Koran is ever quoted or interpreted as encouraging the killing of innocents, then it is ABSOLUTELY WRONG!!!

Dear Friends… On this UK Mothers Day 2024… Let’s appreciate ALL the mothers everywhere, who love, protect and care for their children in ALL manner of circumstances.
The fact that we ALL have a mother gives us a human commonality from which to appreciate each and every precious human life. I grieve for the mothers whose children were taken hostage as much as I grieve for the mothers of Gaza who have lost their children. Both circumstances are unimaginablly heartbreaking.
If you’re in the UK please stand with Fidaa and ask the UK Government to support a #CeasefireNOW to stop the bloodshed and #releasethehostages

Dear Friends,
Acclaimed feminist ‘bell hooks’ once said ‘global feminism means to reach out and join global struggles to end sexism, sexist exploitation and oppression’.
‘Global feminism’ lies at the heart of @TheCircleNGO. It is our passion and guiding star.
Join us to stand in solidarity and action with women across the world who are experiencing unspeakable violence in their homes, villages, and at every corner of their lives.
Take a moment to consider that 1 in 3 women worldwide face violence in their lifetime, yet funding towards women’s rights remains dismally low.
This #IWD, we encourage you to join us and become a global feminist.
Please support The Circle NGO’s #MakeAStandfor1in3 campaign to call for vital funding for grassroots organisations to create long term change and, if you can, make a life-changing donation on the Circle website. (Link in bio)
Thank you.
Last night at the @greencarpetfashionawards, I had the honour of presenting the outstanding labour rights activist, fellow @thecirclengo Ambassador and friend @kalpona.amber, ‘The Messenger’ award for her work in campaigning for worker safety, fair wages and the right to labour unions for garment workers.
Kalpona began working in garment factories in Bangladesh aged 12, where she experienced pay poverty and abuse. Her experience led her to become a game-changing labour rights activist. Kalpona’s vital work has supported garment workers across the world by holding fashion brands and organisations accountable and amplifying the voices of the women and girls affected.
‘’If there is injustice, someone can always stand up and speak out. Why not you?’’ – Kalpona Akter.
The messenger award honours ‘an exemplary communicator and listener who amplifies truth in a way that changes the game for others’, and Kalpona is changing the game for garment workers across the world.
Thank you also to the Green Carpet Fashion awards for nominating @TheCircle NGO as their charity partner for this year and the incredible @liviafirth. Much Love.
Dear Friends,
I want to share a short clip where @sholamos1 talks to @jeremygilleypod about the man – made HELL that is taking place in Gaza, as well as other countries.
I share her perspective, as I know do so many of you!
It’s profoundly stressing to witness the images of brutality without feeling massively frustrated, traumatised, outraged and angry. When we see the victims of bombs, guns and violence, we see ‘ourselves’ in fact. Yet for the people of Gaza, these ‘hunger games’ are a ‘lived’ experience.
We all watch, wait and listen for news… for peace… for an end to these atrocities, each and every day.
