Last week we filmed I$raeli soldiers, Merkava tanks and D9 bulldozers in Zawtar al-Sharqieh, southern Lebanon. This is what they are doing there. Destroying people’s homes. But this is a mere snapshot of what’s happening across the so-called “yellow zone”. Demolitions and detonations of homes and infrastructure. Some 60 villages flattened. This is what a genocide looks like.

Almost one year ago I was detained on arrival in London immediately after landing on a flight from Beirut. I was held for hours, interrogated, had my DNA taken and my electronic devices seized. I was told that I was under investigation for potential terror-related activities, linked to my work as a journalist in countries deemed unpalatable to the British state. Others including @georgegalloway and @richimedhurst have been subjected to similar treatment. One year on and I’m still living in exile from my own country and in reality I am never likely to be able to return with the threat of a prison sentence looming over me. Full solidarity with @loffredojeremy the latest victim of the increasingly authoritarian British state which allows IDF soldiers and those that have fought against Russia in Ukraine to enter freely, while targeting those who stand against imperialist wars and genocide.
