For more than 60 years, the US has engaged in economic warfare against Cuba. Cutting off fuel, food, medicine and basic supplies to inflict suffering on civilians to coerce political change.

It’s time for the world to Boycott, Divest and Sanction the U.S
Avoid the Olympics, World Cup and other sporting events. There’s no reason to celebrate the 250 birthday of this fallen nation

What needs highlighting is that we were investigated for a Section 5 Public Order Offence with NO aggravated element. The lowest level of public order offence there is. Not hate speech, not incitement, but the lowest Public order offence you can commit. This seems to be omitted.

Quite a lot can be explained by the plain fact that our leaders and their hangers on are *enraged* that they can’t send people to prison for doing things that aren’t illegal, and they see this as a very serious problem that needs to be resolved, urgently.

BREAKING: Major Insurers drop Elbit Systems

Following a sustained direct action campaign, initiated by Palestine Action before the group was proscribed, Allianz and Aviva no longer insure Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer.

Direct Action gets results. 🧡1/4

Keir Starmer’s Labour government is prepared to let Palestine hunger strikers die.

We cannot allow that.

We must stand with the hunger strikers and immediate bail for the remand prisoners β€” now.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

In Gaza, we’ve resorted to drinking salty water just to keep ourselves from fainting We drink salt and water to stay standing, to keep ourselves from going dizzy and collapsing. This is what we’ve come to in Gaza, where most people will go without food for three days at a time.

The documentary that the BBC refused to air showing the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities was broadcast by Channel 4 last night.

Amnesty International researcher, Budour Hassan, explains the use of secret sites by the Israeli authorities.

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid
IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes

Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.

Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.

Edward Heath blocked US use of UK bases to defend Israel in 1973.

Harold Wilson resisted US pressure to send troops to Vietnam.

From the ’50s to early 2000s, the UK imposed full arms embargoes on Israel for breaking international law.

We can choose not to be America’s poodle.

A headline from The Guardian reads: β€œFund for nature-friendly farming to be slashed in UK spending review.” Below it, a line of bright green tractors ploughs wide, bare furrows into a large field. The image underscores the scale of UK farming and the warning that vital support for restoring nature is about to be cut.

The warning couldn’t be clearer. ⚠️

Slashing the nature-friendly farming budget would be catastrophic for the nature and climate crisis, and for our long-term food security.

What's more, it would leave the UK Government’s credibility on climate and nature in tatters.

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza.

Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians.

Stop arming genocide, now.

Israel is creating a power vacuum in Gaza by backing armed looters β€” and killing anyone who tries to stop them Testimonies collected by Mondoweiss reveal Israel’s role in supporting armed gangs looting aid supplies and sowing chaos in Gaza. This has been part of a campaign to destroy Gaza’s civil government…

Growing reports show that Israel has been fomenting armed gangs to loot food supplies in Gaza and sow chaos β€” and it's killing those who attempt to stop it. But this strategy isn't new: Israel has waged a war on Gaza's civil government from the start.

I’ve joined 41 MPs demanding that David Lammy comes clean over damning allegations that UK arms exports to Israel continued despite a supposed suspension.

If true, it would be a grave breach of the Ministerial Code β€” & raises urgent questions about whether Parliament was misled.
