It's a ubiquitous, often overlooked, and deeply horrific feature of ethnic cleansing campaigns: violence and murder towards those members of "protected" communities who try to protect or help their friends and neighbours of targeted communities.

(a couple of examples from Bosnia)

The joy and elation on their faces as they establish a new method to murder Palestinians legally.

Spain decides to withdraw ambassador to Israel Spanish embassy in Tel Aviv to be led by a charge d'affaires in the latest sign of rift with Israel over its war on Iran

Good news, but withdrawing of ambassador is just the first step. To show serious committment, the Spanish state will have to implement divestment and sanctions.

Probably why the Israeli state is happy to accept the MoH death toll now.

The US & Israel have the technology to track down, identify and kill individuals (e.g. the assassinations of Ismail Haniyeh and Saeed Azadi).

Today they chose to bomb a school in Iran and killed at least 40 schoolgirls. The murder of children is a decision they took, just like in Gaza.

Make sure Angus Robertson is the last one to meet any Israeli state representative.

We don't want the Scottish Government to be friends – "critical" or otherwise – with the genocidal state.

Bizarre that a Daily Mail columnist of all people should say “I always wondered to myself how Hitler managed to persuade the German people to turn against the Jews.”

All she needed to do is check her paper’s archives – they documented it well enough.

Carrier Strike Group in Arctic Deployment Sir Keir Starmer made the announcement at the Munich Security Conference. The UK's carrier strike group will operate alongside the US, Canada and other Nato allies.

Nothing distracts from scandals like beating the drums of war.

Glorious.

Controversial ex-UK PM Blair back in limelight with Gaza role Blair’s appointment as part of the Gaza ’Board of Peace’ has been met with criticism from Palestinians due to his controversial actions in the region.

Blair confirmed to join the Board of Peace, ensuring Netanyahu isn't the only one there with blood on his hands.

Israeli Forces Abduct Entire Family Near Bethlehem Israeli forces abducted an entire Palestinian family on Saturday evening after invading the village of Kisan, east of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank. ...

The Israeli state has accelerated its abductions of Palestinians across the WB since attention has turned to Venezuela.

Last week the IOF abducted:
2 from Jenin & Nablus
5 from Tulkarem
2 from Ramallah
And from Kisan, an entire family:

(& more reports since then.)

This is very important. The group of racists - Perth’s Peaceful [sic] Protest - has recently upped its disinformation about ‘illegal undocumented immigrants’, gaining more traction. Fascist groups from out of Perth will likely be turning up to join Perth-based racists.

I've already seen 2 articles today that use Putin’s foreign policy as a measure of Trump’s, or strongly imply that Trump has been inspired by Putin.

The attack on Venezuela for natural resources is entirely consistent with the long-established US imperial agenda, and not simply due to bad leaders.

Abd el-Fattah's historic tweets are leading to calls for his UK citizenship to be revoked, and a UK Government review of his case, while Nigel Farage's history of racism and Nazi goose-stepping has led to a few Guardian front pages.

How humanitarianism in Gaza entrenches Palestinian oppression Behind humanitarianism in Gaza lies a system that manages survival while denying Palestinian sovereignty, write Yipeng Ge & Layth Malhis.

Humanitarian and development actors have "consistently propped up the occupation, undermined Palestinian resistance, and weakened Palestinian agency and sovereignty"

Excellent polemic by Dr. Yipeng Ge and Layth Malhis for @thenewarab.bsky.social

Briefing: the implications of the “earned settlement” proposals and what they might mean in practice - Free Movement We’ve now had a few weeks to digest the “earned settlement” policy document, which outlines the proposed changes to the settlement system ahead of the public

The UK will be implementing its vague, obscure & oppressive 'earned settlement' proposals in 2026.

Anyone hoping to settle in the UK – & anyone working with migrants – would benefit from this in-depth reading of the proposals: freemovement.org.uk/briefing-the...

MPs laugh after minister rejects meeting Palestine Action hunger strikers' families MPs laughed as a minister rejected a request to meet with the families of imprisoned Palestine Action-affiliated hunger strikers.

Depraved. Just as Palestinian lives are worth nothing to those politicians, so are the lives of those who hunger for justice in Palestine.
