Dear Friends,
Another Bloody Sunday in Gaza, while the world remains silent and looks away.
So this is how it really is…
The curtain has been pulled back to reveal collective denial and indifference to war crimes - forced displacement and genocide. My colleagues in the music industry are mainly quiet.
I get it… but I really have to wonder how they can see this and just say nothing at all.
Slightly beggars belief.
Please keep witnessing - sharing - posting - protesting!
For these children. For their mothers and fathers..
For their entire families…
An absolute human catastrophe. Carnage from constant bombardment on a tiny strip of land. Check on the map and see how tiny it is. Then envisage the THOUSANDS of tons of bombs EVERY SINGLE DAY WITH NO END IN SIGHT!!!

Dear Friends,
This morning the first thing I came upon on Instagram was a scene of TOTAL ARMAGEDDON!
DAY upon DAY for over an entire year of WAR CRIMES - GENOCIDE and deplorable ETHNIC CLEANSING.
Then I came upon this WONDERFUL young activist who expresses EXACTLY how I feel. I stand with EVERYTHING she says.
NEVER AGAIN meant NEVER AGAIN!!!
SHAME ON KIER STARMER DAVID LAMMY AND THE ENTIRE UK GOVERNMENT WHO CONVENIENTLY FORGOT!!!!!

Dear Friends,
Please listen to this account of this surgeon’s experiences of working in Gaza. He is clearly traumatised by what he witnessed there… saying it reminded him of HIROSHIMA and NAGASAKI!!!!
SHAME ON YOU KEIR STARMER AND DAVID LAMMY for your deliberate obfuscation and refusal to acknowledge what is SO CLEARLY taking place. SHAME ON YOUR ENTIRE GOVERNMENT!!!!!! #ceasefire

Dear Friends,
As the situation in Gaza has continued along its year+ long hellish path, with each day passing I’ve been asking the same question….
WHY has there been such an apparent ’carte blanche’ given to destroy and slaughter Palestinians with no holds barred?
The international institutions established to protect human beings from extreme abuse - forced starvation and displacement - torture, genocide, deliberate destruction of all resources.. hospitals, homes, entire infrastructures seem to have evaporated, as if they were never created in the first place.
If the scales haven’t fallen from your eyes yet, then they soon will in 2025.
‘Never Again’…????????!!!!!

Dear Friends,
Just when you might have thought nothing on earth could become any more barbaric - brutal - relentless and sadistically cruel than this nightmarish horror show,
to all intents and purposes, it seems as if things are becoming steadily worse and worse for Palestinians in Gaza…
There are no red lines…
There is no humanity…
The butchery and slaughter of tens of thousands of human beings is happening on our electronic screens and those who call it out are being gas lit by the powers that be…
Women and children are the majority of those who pay with their lives.

Dear Friends,
The past few years have seen both tremendous achievements and set backs in terms of women’s empowerment across the world. At this particular point in time however, it’s become more vital than EVER to support women’s grass-roots organisations, where the needs are greatest at the most basic level, in a world where one in three women experience sexual or domestic violence in their lifetime. Where women have little to no agency over their bodies. Where inequality and misogyny are rife. Where poverty underscores a girl’s access to education and literacy skills.
We still have a LONG way to go!
Last week’s annual Partners Circle was so timely to renew energy and bring together our 12 grassroots partners from Nigeria, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Kenya, Afghanistan, UK, South Africa, Uganda, Sri Lanka and the Middle East. These organisations are at the heart of everything we do at @thecirclengo
Thank you also to the inspirational @juliagillard who joined and led a session on leadership and resilience.
Thankful for each one of these outstanding women from around the world who work tirelessly to change the lives of our fellow Sisters everywhere!!

Dear Friends,
Just to let you know …
ALL HUMANITARIAN AGENCIES HAVE BEEN BLOCKED BY ISRAELI AUTHORITIES FROM PROVIDING FOOD INTO NORTHERN GAZA.
People have gone for an entire month without food and water.
All 8 UNRWA wells in Jabalya refugee camp have been destroyed.
After 13 months of devastating warfare - hopelessness has set in. With winter coming - 500,000 people are at severe risk of flooding, disease, extreme malnutrition, bombing, rubble and systemic destruction EVERYWHERE.
I don’t share this information to ‘bring down your mood’…
This is something we ALL need to KNOW - BE AWARE OF - BEAR IN MIND - BEAR WITNESS and ADVOCACY.
Don’t check out!!! Keep witnessing - sharing - protesting and calling out for ceasefire in this unmitigated
human made catastrophe where women and children are the main victims. #ceasefire

Dear Friends,
TAKE A MOMENT!!!!!
44 PER CENT OF PEOPLE KILLED IN GAZA ARE CHILDREN!!!!!!!
LET THAT SINK IN
THIS is the world we ALL inhabit

Joining a collective international call for ceasefire and peace is the opposite of doing nothing.
In doing so you stand for human rights - justice and freedom.
How can calling for an end to the slaughter of tens of thousands of children be an endorsement of anti - semitism? Anti-Semitism is as repugnant as Anti-Muslim
JUST STOP KILLING CHILDREN

Dear Friends,
70 per cent of those killed in Gaza are women and children.
The ‘powers that be’ apparently couldn’t care less, which puts the onus upon everyone who thinks this is totally unacceptable and a criminal human rights violation.
Keep protesting! Keep sharing! Keep speaking out and calling for CEASEFIRE!!!

THIS is what ETHNIC CLEANSING looks like… in case you didn’t already know.
TERRORISED MOTHERS FORCED TO DRAG THEIR LITTLE CHILDREN ALONG THE DUST ROADS OF ARMAGEDDON - TRYING TO AVOID BEING SLAUGHTERED.

Dear Friends,
As we witness these horrific images every single day, I think we have to be SUPER vigilant that they don’t become ‘normalised’.
It’s easy to become accustomed to seeing the abject destruction - the rubble - the terrorised starving dust covered citizens - the slain and wounded from the comfort of our homes, as if it were ‘separate’ from our own personal security bubble.
The very act of consciously bearing witness to our shared common humanity is a very powerful thing to do. To see ‘beyond’ the imagery towards identifying with each and every human being..brother, sister, mother, father, child as extended family. NOT turning away.. NOT ignoring, dismissing or forgetting, but playing an active part in witnessing, supporting and contributing towards ceasefire and the end of these atrocities.
