Middle East Eye :"The UK government has revoked the student visa of Dana Abuqamar, a Palestinian law student at the University of Manchester, following her speech in a demonstration. Her visa was revoked on the grounds of 'national security', with authorities citing her as a risk to public safety.
She revealed that she had lost at least 15 relatives in Gaza."
“What is the point of having power," she says, "if you will not use it to stop crimes against humanity?”

Did you see the resignation letter from the Biden appointee?
It's pretty scathing.
WEEK 33: In an update from Palestine Action, I am pleased to report that Thales in Glasgow, UAV in Shenstone and Teledyne in Shipley were shut down all day today.
