“It is naive to think that practising blind and servile obedience is a form of leadership.
We will not be complicit in something that is bad for the world and that is also contrary to our values and interests, simply out of fear of reprisals from someone.”

Francesca Albanese is asked, is the war in Gaza over?
Frances explains its not a war. "Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank & East Jerusalem are under occupation. Israel cannot wage a war on a people who live under occupation"
A point UK politicians & journalists studiously ignore
The European Union claims to uphold international law and human rights law. It even has that commitment written into its special trade treaty with Israel.
The European Union lies to us and instead supports Israel unconditionally.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”
There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
C'mon folks, only 721 people to go and we've passed the Irish threshold. If you haven't signed this already, why not?
It's an important EU citizen led initiative that needs 7 countries to pass their threshold, and then the EU government machine is forced to talk about it.

Are you sure?
A new study on the Gaza genocide should shock you:

Across January, UNRWA schools-turned-shelters in #Gaza were reportedly directly or indirectly hit, and 7 were reportedly demolished by Israeli forces, according to UNRWA’s latest situation reports.

For my followers in the EU, there is an European citizens’ initiative you can sign to demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
If you are for BDS this would be a huge step up.

In #Gaza, winter storms cause flooding and are exposing families to cold temperatures and contaminated floodwaters.
While UNRWA continues to support the most vulnerable people in Gaza, shelter supplies remain insufficient to meet the immense needs.

It's leading to record wildfires, floods, rising seas, extreme storms & typhoons, harvest failures

Rachel Reeves' pro-Israel speech was utterly disgusting.
Our political elite are dripping with contempt for the worth of Palestinian life.
“A large majority of UK voters believe immigration is increasing despite sharp falls in the number of people entering the UK…”
Anti-migrant sentiment is manufactured. Xenophobic disinformation cultivates public resentment and hostilities. We must disrupt such dangerous racism.
In Dublin, on Fenian Street, there's a factory that makes child sex abuse material.

➡️ Suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement
➡️ Ban trade with Israel’s settlements in the OPT
➡️ Impose targeted sanctions on Israeli officials most implicated in international crimes
➡️ Support the work of the ICC & ICJ

As Elon Musk's X continues to sink to new depths, there are serious questions to be asked as to why legitimate media outlets, government departments, state agencies, etc. etc. remain on the platform.
I wrote this last November.
This is *still* going on by the way and it is incredible how little attention it's getting from media, politicians and others who are usually falling over themselves to talk about AI, women's rights and/or child protection
Starmer has said that what has been allowed to happen at X is "outrageous" and that those responsible should face the "full force of the law," calling their tactics "pathetic" no wait sorry, I got confused, that was him describing Just Stop Oil protesters who put some cornflour on Stonehenge.
