Palestinians have done everything to appeal to your humanity. Children did press conferences asking to live. Doctors did press conferences surrounded by body bags. Journalists showed countless mangled bodies and the best you can do is call for a “humanitarian pause”?

I’ll never forget my first Ramadan and no one told me how to eat for suhoor (😒) and I ended up having fried chicken + chips with a fizzy drink 10mins before fajr. Best believe 10mins after fajr I was licking my lips and trying to use my own saliva for moisture and hydration 😂.

My wife replied that she had been shouted at by one of the nurses and had not received any pain relief since she had been here. The head nurse replied “I don’t believe my colleague would have done that” - essentially saying that it never happened.

My questions were not answered and then the nurse went further to imply my wife was lying about the cannulation attempts saying she could only see 2 plasters on her hands so 5 attempts did not happen. Gaslighting and nitpicking at the details.

The nurse replied hands on hips “well 45mins is not a long time for us so you will just have to deal with that”. We were dumbfounded! Where was the apology where was the accountability? I asked her if you were in the patients position would accept such a reply?

Something I was told the other day which has stuck with me in regard to how so many people can see all these dead Palestinians murdered in horrific ways by Isreal and feel indifferent or that it is justified - “we live amongst monsters”. And that’s the only way to explain it.

At this point someone made a call to security. I asked repeatedly why this was being done and it was made to seem that I had barged my way in here and was being disruptive and aggressive. Despite the fact I hadn’t shouted at anyone, I hadn’t insulted anyone, I didnt abuse anyone.

Why are these patrols necessary? Which parts of London are being patrolled? And when it comes down to it who are the communities that are going to be “reassured”. Considering the Met’s racist and oppressive past and present it’s not Palestinian communities that’ll be reassured.

I’m going to write a proper thread on this at some point during the week. But tonight was another reminder as to how institutional racism and islamophobia in healthcare kills and traumatises.

Getting one of your Black officers to plead that we don’t march on armistice day for literal a armistice to stop a racist genocidal regime, is underhanded and pathetic. Especially when looking at the Met’s racist history of brutalising, traumatising and killing Black people.

I could hear her apologising and saying I know I’m causing your trouble but please could I get another gown to cover my back too, it was only until she begged that this was done.

The ambulance had tried to cannulate her whilst in the van 3 times and this left bruises and caused further panic and so she had this on top of her abdo pain. Her blood pressure was also very low and she was very dehydrated.

We cant keep overlooking David Miller’s views on Syria because he is outspoken on zionism and Islamophobia. Asking Syrians to just get over the slaughter of 100,000s of their people is abhorrent and inexcusable. It’s crucial that all those with links to him do challenge this.

I’m so sorry but the reality is that in Syria it wasn’t Zionists who killed a million Syrians it was Assad, Iran & Russia therefore, Syrian’s main enemy is Assad, Iran & Russia. Simple. “Get over it” قال Our murdered, disappeared & displaced family makes it difficult to “get

Eid Mubarak, may Allah accept our fasts and forgive our shortcomings. May the hearts of those who lost loved ones in the last year be soothed. May the Palestinians, Uyghurs, Rohingya, Yemenis, Kashmiris, Black communities and oppressed people all over the world be granted justice

Muslims should be careful of those in our communities that wear the OBE, CBE, MBE etc labels with pride, often these people are found within groups that participate in harmful political behaviour. You don’t get “British Empire” added to your name without somehow serving it.

Short term we need to drastically increase support + donations for UK charity initiatives for those in poverty whilst continuing international efforts. Long term we need more robust campaigns against the structural issues + oppression that has brought UK Muslims to this position

We need to keep being clear that those who are still against a ceasefire are green lighting the continuation of this. There’s no nuance or justification in saying no to a ceasefire.

45mins from arrival, whilst trying to comfort her on the phone, I heard her dismissed by nurses 3 times as she was told to wait and in that time period a nurse also walked off mid conversation whilst she was asking for pain relief.

Same said nurse also shouted at her and stormed off when she asked for painkillers again after waiting for 2hrs for them. This again increased the panic and distress she was in as those who were supposed to be caring for her belittled her, intimidated her and ignored her.

1hr 30mins in and still no pain relief - not even a paracetamol was offered. I had been on the phone this whole time and was listening to her in excruciating pain.

Again, no apology, no accountability, no signposting to complaints processes and still no pain relief!!!! I then asked why no pain relief had been administered, the answer was “because our protocol says we can’t offer pain relief until we’ve run some investigations”

What gives David Lammy, Keir Starmer and the rest of these politicians the right to say the “time has come” for a ceasefire. Have enough Palestinians been slaughtered now? Was there a massacre threshold that needed to be reached? - We must mobilise against them for the next GE.

The UN Security Council is voting once again. Labour wants a resolution to pass. To protect civilians. To demand hostages are released. To act as a stepping stone towards a sustainable ceasefire. And to renew impetus towards a two-state solution. The time has come.

The same Malcolm X that had his life taken from him because he protected and advocated for vulnerable women who had been taken advantage of by the head of the Nation of Islam. Your page does the direct opposite and is full of filth. Keep his name out of your stinking mouths.

I asked further, “what protocol? What investigations? You can’t even give a paracetamol? No co-codamol? You can’t give anything? And if this was the case why did no one explain this to her and why did nurses keep storming off?!”

I chose not to out of respect for the rules and did not want to throw my weight around. I also spoke to a doctor about what was happening and he said he would sort it out and give pain relief.

This is the same healthcare service I will end up working for. There is a real arrogance, spinelessness and soullessness in “healthcare professionals” such as these. So many of us have stories and experiences of our health being neglected and ignored it has to change.
