Teacher cleared over coconut placard of Sunak and Braverman at protest

Marieha Hussain said the placard she took to a pro-Palestinian protest, which showed cut-out pictures of Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman alongside coconuts under a tree, was just a "light-hearted piece of political banter".

After the ten-day Israeli siege of Jenin, water tankers are now working to deliver supplies to the city where sewage and water pipes have been destroyed.

Israeli forces destroyed the main roads in Jenin, the refugee camp, and the infrastructure in the area east of the city.

Water, electricity, and communications lines were severed as a consequence of the excavation and wreckage executed by Israeli construction machinery in the vicinity.

#BREAKING: #AlJazeera is reporting, "Israeli forces shot and killed a U.S. peace activist in the occupied West Bank, according to eyewitnesses.

Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a U.S. citizen, was 26. She was working with the same peace activism movement [International Solidarity Movement ISM] that Rachel Corrie belonged to. Corrie, also a U.S. citizen, was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in 2003 while trying to stop the demolition of a Palestinian home in Rafah.

Aysenur was taking part in a weekly demonstration in Beita against Israel’s occupation and settler dispossession of Palestinian land."

Schools are rolling out policies in preparation for quashing pro-Palestine student activism this Fall semester, and reshaping regulations and even campuses in the process to suit this new normal.

Kenneth Roth, a visiting professor at the Princeton School for International Affairs, says Israel’s attacks on the occupied West Bank have become a “flat-out war” with far-right members of the government wanting to expel all Palestinians from the territory.

“Even though there’s extensive combat between Israeli forces and militants in the Jenin refugee camp, that doesn’t mean there are no rules – the Geneva Conventions still apply,” Roth said.

The United Nations says it's now unable to deliver aid in Gaza - because of Israel's forced evacuation orders. The UN insists it is not withdrawing or suspending operations in the Strip. Its main facilities are in the central area, where Israeli military movements are forcing people to flee.

The evacuation order came as the U.N. prepares to begin on Saturday a campaign to vaccinate an estimated 640,000 children in Gaza against the polio virus.

“There is a real possibility that the UK, or individuals herein, are guilty of aiding and assisting Israel’s proven and alleged breaches of international law. The truth lies in the information about arms sales, intelligence sharing, trade, and legal advice that the government still keeps secret from the public. Paradoxically, only the government knows for sure whether the UK is breaching international law.”
