>> Three hundred and eighty writers and organisations including Zadie Smith, Ian McEwan, Russell T Davies, Hanif Kureishi, Frank Cottrell-Boyce and George Monbiot have signed a letter stating that the Israeli government’s war in Gaza is genocidal and calling for an immediate ceasefire.
>> “The use of the words ‘genocide’ or ‘acts of genocide’ to describe what is happening in Gaza is no longer debated by international legal experts or human rights organizations,” reads the letter, which was also signed by William Dalrymple, Jeanette Winterson, Brian Eno, Kate Mosse, Irvine Welsh and Elif Shafak…

>> We… ask our nations and the peoples of the world to join us in ending our collective silence and inaction in the face of horror.
>> We ask all people to join in our call for compassion, for reason and for mediation...:
1. We demand the immediate unrestricted distribution of food and medical aid throughout Gaza by the UN.
2. We demand that sanctions be imposed on the State of Israel if the Israeli government does not heed this call… for an immediate ceasefire.
3. We demand a ceasefire which guarantees safety and justice for all Palestinians, the release of all Israeli hostages, and the release of the thousands of Palestinian prisoners arbitrarily held in Israeli jails.
I am sorry. Not for who I am. Not for who I love. And not for the words I write.
I am sorry for you.

"...
As #artists and cultural players, we cannot remain silent while #genocide is taking place in #Gaza and this unspeakable #news is hitting our communities hard.
What is the point of our professions if not to draw lessons from history, to make #films that are committed, if we are not present to protect oppressed voices?
Why this silence?
