A Palestinian law student from the University of Toledo gave a powerful graduation speech, questioning the status quo in the US, and why they are sending billions of dollars to Israel, a state convicted of war crimes and on trial for genocide.

More than 34,000 people have been killed in Gaza.

Instead of ending arms to Israel, governments around the world are trying to silence voices for peace.

They cannot hide their role in genocide — and we will keep speaking up for the people of Palestine.

We had an amazing evening King's College NHS showing the new documentary I Could Never Go Vegan. 100+ health professionals. Gives me hope for a kinder, more compassionate future.
