On Thurs 26 June, we are partnering with City Art Centre for two events about the life and work of artist John Bellany, including a tour of their current exhibition and a talk delivered at Edinburgh Printmakers.  https://edinburghprintmakers.online.red61.co.uk/event/7894:271/7894:2286/

Even the conservatives are getting angry.., Labour DO SOMETHING!

“We’re killing them, we’re killing their wives, their children, their cats, their dogs. We’re destroying their houses and pissing on their graves.” “The IDF really is fulfilling the public’s wishes, which state: ‘There are no innocents in Gaza’.”

Strap in y’all. Naturalized American citizens deemed “criminals” are next. And up and up the privilege ladder until any dissent will get you considered an “enemy of the state.” Of course the road to fascism has always been paved by people telling you you’re overreacting…

Officials from the UK, France, and Germany are condemning Israel for weaponizing food and blocking aid to Gaza. “Humanitarian aid should never be contingent on a ceasefire or used as a political tool.”

SILENCED for Supporting Gaza: Artist Who Inspired Banksy EXPOSES Art World

“They might implant tanks on the insides of its children and women. They might throw it into the sea, sand, or blood. But it will not repeat lies and say “Yes” to invaders.” Mahmoud Darwish Silence for Gaza #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya

Just so we’re all clear, it is a fully established fact that the IDF is directly, deliberately killing civilians in Gaza. There was a time in the early days of the genocide when this could be disputed, but that is no longer true. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israel-is-...

Israel bans Islamic call to prayer, escalating discrimination - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-bans-islamic-call-prayer-escalating-discrimination

1. Consent in our pseudo-democracies is strained at the best of times, but it hangs on the belief that there is some kind of justice: through inquiries, tribunals, sometimes even the law, powerful people who commit crimes against us will one day be held to account. But what if this no longer works?🧵

9. Netanyahu, the ICC decision notwithstanding, has demonstrated that if you can sufficiently demonise and dehumanise a population, you can do whatever the hell you want to it, and – perhaps – escape accountability.

And we are entangled In the weed In the weed. #KeepTellingofGaza
