#Israel's ambassador finally recognises the amazing superpowers of @francescaalbanese.bsky.social

Can Europe ever nurture a politician as exciting as @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ?

Governments — and yes, those in Europe as well — are curbing civic space, expanding surveillance, restricting dissent, undermining media independence and scapegoating migrants in plain sight. euobserver.com/eu-and-the-w...

This could have been proposed 2 years ago and there could have been decisions by now by the slow-moving EU decision-making machine. Lives could have been saved, children could have lived. Too little, much too late. Shame. euobserver.com/EU%20&%20the...

'Any serious reckoning over the EU’s inaction in Gaza will remain incomplete without confronting the structural racism and lingering colonial hierarchies that still shape Europe’s worldview. Gaza has stripped away the pretence.' - @simplyshada.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Seriously? euobserver.com/eu-and-the-w...

Germany holds the key to unlocking the European Commission's better-late-than-never proposal on suspending trade with Israel over its genocide in #Gaza. Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic will block no matter what. But Germany & (Italy) must step up and stand on the right side of history.

The trauma of these dark months will linger on among generations of Palestinians.  Many of us have no illusions: what we are witnessing in Palestine is continuation of colonial violence, racial erasure, and imperial logic.

Ahead of their summit tomorrow, I repeat what I said a month ago : the #EU and #China must abandon petty disputes to rise as global leaders and take urgent action to end #Israel's genocide in #Gaza EU and China must abandon petty disputes to rise as global leaders www.scmp.com/opinion/worl...
