Happy home-office-assigned birthday to all refugees who were disbelieved about their date of birth and un-safeguarded as one of the many experiences of state-sponsored xenophobic cruelty that is the asylum system in the U.K. Let’s keep working for a just, restorative and eminently sensible system.

Stopping the Flotilla, for now, does not stop the work of peace, the struggle for justice, the humanitarian surge which is coming from the people of the world. It does not stop the hope or the love for the life of the Palestinian People that can overcome the worst of human crimes. It does not stop.

“All 12 people on board the Madleen have been banned from Israel for 100 years.” So Israel forced the 12 to enter Israel against their wills, after kidnapping them in international waters, only to then ban them from entry for 100 years. Go figure….
