WHEN I spoke at length last April to longtime pro-Palestine activist Sarah Wilkinson, there was desperate passion in her voice. Israel’s horrific assault on Gaza was already in its seventh deadly month and Wilkinson was starting to feel hope ebbing away. 

“My fear is that I don’t really know anything else. If we lose Palestine and we lose Gaza, for me that feels like I’m losing part of myself as well,” said Wilkinson, now 61, who at the time was waiting to sail to Gaza on one of the still-stalled Freedom Flotilla aid ships.

Wilkinson is arguably Britain’s most dedicated and prolific online chronicler of the plight of Palestinians, posting graphic and horrifying evidence of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza multiple times a day on her social media platforms.
