    It was a moment to hold in my soul, not just a series of images. And to my children, I said every time you see me touch my heart it is also for you. It is from parenthood and childhood that this moment comes. We cannot have another generation of this violence and this injustice.

    The dove is made in Bethlehem. Today marks three months of unfathomable death and destruction. We need this to end. The first step must be a permanent ceasefire. #CeasefireNow

    When you stand up for Palestine, when you stand against apartheid, when you stand up for justice against a genocide, you find your people and your people find you. What an honour to meet @GaryLineker, who has inspired so many, and is lighting a way forwards. And what a pleasure

    I read Refaat Alareer’s ‘If I must die’ after my speech at Trafalgar Square, words that have become like an anthem. An honour to read. Refaat was only a year older than me when he was killed. Thank you to @migrationfilms1 for this video.

    “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” Mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living. The dove is from Bethlehem, the scales of justice for everywhere & the #ICJ. Because all live are sacred. #MLKDay2024 #Emmys2024 #Oct7Day100

    “How will I be able to hug you?” Mahmoud’s first words to his mother on learning his arms would be amputated. The words that made me weep today.

    Let’s bring the words ‘Free Palestine’ and ‘End the Genocide’ to the world’s monuments. I’m unable to be anywhere without thinking about what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank. #FreePalestine #FreePalestineMonuments #EndTheGenocide

    Last night at @BAFTAScotland, where I was nominated for my performance as Dodi, was probably my last outing with him. A year ago when we premiered #TheCrown, the official number of dead in Gaza had just passed 10,000. Now, while this genocide continues, that is the number

    A great has passed. Homayoun Ershadi, my father in The Kite Runner, a magnificent soul who touched so many millions of people around the world. I am so sad to hear of your passing. What an honour to have worked with you, and to be able to recall and cherish your voice and

    Every one of these 14,000 sequins is a child that has been killed in Gaza. Multiply that by 2.46 and you get the current death toll, over 34,500.l STOP ARMING ISRAEL #Artists4Ceasefire #AllEyesOnRafah #PermanentCeasefireNOW #BAFTATVAwards

    A year ago, Vox asked five scholars if they considered Israel to be committing genocide in Gaza. One said yes, the others said no. Returning to the same scholars a year later, Vox found that three of those who said no have subsequently changed their mind.

    Is Israel committing genocide? Reexamining the question, a year later.

    This needs to be weekly from our homes. Across the world. Here we began. This was outside Downing Street as we were gathering.

    May justice bring peace and peace bring justice. May we all live up to South Africa’s promise to the world, embodied in truth and reconciliation, and the long walk to freedom. #CeasefireNow #ICJ & thank you @MarkRuffalo

    Some of my feelings and thoughts as I headed in to my police interview this morning, wearing my Artists for Ceasefire pin.
