NEW: 🇮🇱🇪🇺 26 out of 27 EU countries supported the partial suspension of their trade agreement with Israel Hungary is the only country against it Israel is about to lose preferential access to its biggest trading partner, which accounts for 32% of its exports.

In 2022, a petition to ban EU trade with settlements fell short of reaching the 1M signatures threshold over 1 year A new one demanding full suspension of the 🇪🇺-🇮🇱 Association Agreement is nearing 700K - in less than 3 months: eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/#/s…

I have no idea who she is, but I’d sit in on her class any time. The sick question: ‘Does Israel even have the right to exist?’ Watch.

Egyptian programmer Badr El-Khamisy launched a digital initiative to honor every Palestinian who has been killed in Gaza So far, over 60,000 names have been documented, each represented as a point of light on the screen. Clicking a point reveals their name, age, and birthday.

- there is only ONE nurse in Europe allowed to perform ERCP (usually carried out only by specially trained surgeons), in Rotherham in England - ⁠this nurse regularly introduced himself as ‘a consultant interventional radiologist’ to patients, obfuscating the fact he’s a consultant NURSE - ⁠⁠even his supervising surgeons were not themselves trained in ERCP as it’s so specialised! - ⁠in one case he continued with surgery despite the supervising doctor instructing him to stop - ⁠he made mistakes dosing sedatives and I n the procedure itself, leading to the death or harm of at least 68 patients Doctors wanting to perform ERCP must pass rigorous speciality exams and enter special training programmes under close supervision. Why do we have lesser standards for nurses? Patients must now routinely ask their ‘doctors’ if they are actually doctors if they want proper care in the uk!

While Trump humiliated himself, the United States, all Americans and the PM of Japan with the Pearl Harbor comments, PM Mark Carney pulled a Jake Ryan and surprised her with a birthday cake. Canada: still winning over America.

As the obsession over whether or not you might agree or disagree that "Israel has a right to exist" has resurfaced, it's worth listening once again to Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt, tear down this ridiculous subject. Pay attention. #GazaGenocide #GreaterIsraelWar

BREAKING: 🇫🇷🇮🇷 France’s most popular politician and Macron’s potential successor, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the LFI party announced support for Iran: “Iran is exercising its legitimate right to defend its sovereignty, its people, and its resources, after being subjected to blatant aggression.”

🔴The Italian Prime Minister launches a scathing attack on #Trump 🔴You must understand that you are only the president of #America, not #Italy, #France, or #Germany, and you will not have the right to dictate to the sovereignty of these countries. 🔴You are the one who made the Strait of #Hormuz unsafe because of your war with the Iranians, and we will not join you against them. You are obligated before the world to restore it to its previous state of safety for the passage of #oil tankers. 🔴Europe will not bear responsibility for your decisions, whether they are right or wrong, and Italy refuses to be part of this war, from which we will gain nothing but harm.

Protect it. #ActOnClimate #nature

FC Barcelona's fan groups have released a statement regarding the EuroLeague match to be played against the Israeli team Hapoel Tel Aviv this Friday: “We can say this louder, but we cannot say it more clearly: Sports cannot whitewash state crimes. We reject the participation of Israeli teams in the EuroLeague while the genocide against the Palestinian people and imperialist attacks on neighboring countries continue. Playing behind closed doors or in neutral arenas distorts competition and violates the rights of spectators and fans. We demand the EuroLeague to suspend these teams until human rights and international law are respected and hostilities come to an end. No to war, no to genocide! All support to the Palestinian people!”
