There are 1000s of versions of this story , all over the world, they happen because the arms trade lobbies governments and institutions to invest in war and the military, industrial, development complex. It takes away from health, education, the environment and people’s quality of life.

Israel continues its indiscriminate attacks on the Palestinian people — committing war crimes in full view of the world, including those aiding and abetting genocide in Gaza. We need immediate sanctions on Israel to bring an end to the slaughter.

Let's make this protest massive. #StopBombingGaza #StopArmingIsrael

After refusing to extend the ceasefire agreement, Israel has launched into widespread bombing of Gaza, killing hundreds including many women and children. All governments must respond to this despicable assault on civilians with immediate sanctions.

I'm very fond of Hungary.

The idiocy here is immense. Musk is more of an anti-European than Putin. No European governments should do business with any of his companies (looking at you Italy - and Starlink). He’s just here to pull down everything decent and collaborative, so that he can control the pieces.

The US & Israel openly talk about ethnic cleansing, Israel is meeting with far right extremists. The UN, Amnesty International & many more are calling it a Genocide. The UK are supplying weapons, and continuing to demonise people fleeing conflicts that we have a hand in elsewhere.

We’re transferring our website from Wix to Wordpress. I’ve been learning about their support for the oppression of Palestinians, & don’t want to financially support that. Wordpress is a steep learning curve, but at least it’s not complicit in genocide #freepalestine
