Every Thursday we try again 🇵🇸

it is as if we are back in the days of the East India Company - impossible to tell state and business apart, and they’re consistently collaborating to plunder and oppress

If you’re doing a ‘double tap’ strike on a hospital, you’re a war criminal and a terrorist.

Sally Rooney: “I would happily publish this statement in a UK newspaper–but that would now be illegal. The present UK Gov has willingly stripped its own citizens of basic rights & freedoms, including the right to express & read dissenting opinions, in order to protect its relationship with Israel.”

My goodness this is so disturbing, a regime with a mania for violence - a people that have chosen to destroy their own humanity through the dehumanisation of others

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

The most evil crime of our lives, the most barbaric

Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip. It is not a threat. It is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people. Our demands on this shameful government remain the same: end all arms sales to Israel, impose widespread sanctions, and stop the genocide, now.

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly: "No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT." "HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

Racist, colonial barbarity

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.

Watch as an activist is arrested in Glasgow for displaying a sign reading 'genocide in Palestine, time to take action' 'We're not terrorists', he said as he was taken away by police

Earlier this month, the government blocked an inquiry into its complicity in the Gaza genocide. We don’t need their permission to uncover the truth. That’s why, today, we are announcing The Gaza Tribunal. Sign up at thegazatribunal.uk.

“This is the cruel reality confronting many in Gaza today after months of insufficient aid being allowed into the territory, and parties to the conflict failing to uphold basic responsibilities to protect civilians.” - UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell Full statement: unicef.link/40Kib1K

Lots to unpack about the Rio #BRICS Summit, but noteworthy how much more this Leaders' Declaration had to say regarding the importance of combating climate change and upholding multilateralism to do so than the #g7 (which literally didn't even utter the word climate) brics.br/en/documents...

These are the #BDS consumer boycott targets named in the ground breaking report "From economy of occupation to economy of genocide" by the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967. Read more: bdsmovement.net/news/naming-...

🧵Solidarity with Francesca Albanese. She is facing a barrage of lies and smears + the Trump Admin is calling on the UN to fire her. Why? Because there is simply no arguing with her devastating new report on the companies profiting from genocide. Stay tuned for our interview on @zeteo.com.

China is pulling away in the race to power the future.

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza. Truly an atrocity built on atrocity. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

“I can only say that I admire and support Palestine Action wholeheartedly - and I will continue to, whether that becomes a terrorist offence or not.”

No money for people with disabilities. No money for the elderly. No money for children in poverty. Always money for war.

staging a show-and-tell about a fake genocide during a real genocide to the government that has done the most to seek justice for that real genocide is designed to break our brains. They know what they are doing. www.cnn.com/2025/05/21/w...

Arming Israel. Bombing Yemen. Cutting aid. This government’s obsession with militarism is out of control — and it is the poorest people in the world paying the price. We are all human beings on one planet. Surely that is a good enough reason to try and build a world of peace.

so evil, so evil, this generation and our children are all going to live in a more violent world because of our collective failure to end US-backed Israeli settler colonialism and genocide - human rights, already fickle, is now a meaningless concept, no point even talking about climate change

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social. The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
