🚨 The govt is considering whether to approve a huge oil field - Rosebank. This project could funnel more than £200 million to a company tied to Israel's miltary. Sign the petition to demand the govt say no oil profits for occupation and genocide: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/StopRosebank

The government is handing lucrative contracts to Palantir, a notorious US corporation providing AI and surveillance technology used as an essential part of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. TAKE ACTION: Write to Starmer to demand all contracts with Palantir are cancelled: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/cancelpalantir…

Lives are lost in Gaza and Lebanon while the Trump family profits from insider bets on unstable markets. Congressman Jim McGovern lays into Trump’s games - but why so little media outrage? #Gaza #Lebanon #insidertrading #TrumpCorruption
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

Congressman Jim McGovern lays into Trump's CFTC chair over insider trading at Polymarket and Kalshi, especially the fact that Donald Trump Jr. is on the board of both companies, and could be using his knowledge to profit:  "I mean, the president's son is on the board of both multi-billion dollar prediction market companies. So it seems to me like the only reason two competing companies hired the same person is because they think he must be really, really, really valuable. I mean, I wonder why they would think that, right? ...   Just before 7:00 AM on Monday, March 23rd, someone placed roughly $500 million in oil and equities, future trades betting that oil prices would plummet and the market would rally. And at 7:04 AM. President Donald Trump posted, on Truth Social that the US had begun ceasefire talks. Now, whoever placed that bet knew what the president was about to post, um, and made a lot of money off of that ... You and I both know that the odds of that bet is a billion to one, and I have one example after another of similar bets. There was no public information about ceasefire talks. These are decisions that are made in the White House at the highest levels decisions that very, very, very few people know about until the president posts them. So yes or no, Mr. Selig, do you think the president's top staff would have that knowledge about a ceasefire? ... Do you think the president's family would have knowledge of that, what about Donald Trump Jr. Do you think he would've known that maybe an announcement of a ceasefire was coming?"

@DianaButtu details what this means in practice: two legal systems, a 90-day execution timeline with no appeals, and a conviction rate exceeding 90%, mostly on the basis of confessions extracted through torture youtube.com/watch?v=h7a72r…

On Palestinian Prisoners' Day, the Palestinian Journalists' Bloc reported that more than 45 journalists are languishing in Israeli occupation's prisons, facing harsh conditions that violate all international and humanitarian laws. It also emphasized that the continued detention of this number of journalists represents a direct assault on press freedom and the people's right to know.

Breaking the Silence
Breaking the Silence@BtSIsrael·
"Closed military zone" is a tool the IDF uses to back pogroms and ethnic cleansing. Theoretically, settlers aren't allowed to enter a "closed military zone." Practically, it is mostly enforced against solidarity activists. The recent ethnic cleansing near Duma is one example: 2 weeks ago, 11 Palestinian families were expelled from there. These families had been almost daily terrorised by violent settlers for months. The IDF protected the terrorists while working hard to remove solidarity activists from the area by declaring it a "closed military zone". Having removed the activists, the IDF let the terrorists finish their “job” of ethnic cleansing. Five days ago, Israel approved the establishment of 34 new settlements, one of which is planned on land near Duma from which Palestinians were expelled.

אתמול בלילה, מתנחלים בגיבוי הצבא חסמו לחלוטין את הדרך בין דומא למערג׳ם וחתכו קווי מים. יום לפני כן, הם הרסו מצלמות אבטחה, פנלים סולריים וקווי חשמל. כל זה מתרחש בתוך שטח צבאי סגור- והצבא לא מניד עפעף. להפך, הוא מגבה אותם. האם זו הכנה לפוגרום?

Protest is not some inconvenience to be managed. It is part of the lifeblood of the labour movement, and of every movement that has ever expanded rights, protections or dignity in this country. From my speech on the Crime & Policing Bill.

We know that the best way to resist attempts like this to repress our movement is to keep on campaigning. Part of that is building the broadest alliances possible which we will continue to do to oppose this extreme piece of legislation. 5/7

We will not be silenced as we continue to campaign for Palestinian rights - that is why it is so important we mobilise in huge numbers for our next national demonstration for Palestine to commemorate the Nakba on 16 May. 7/7 palestinecampaign.org/events/nakba-7…

It is shameful that the government is choosing to escalate its erosion of our civil liberties rather than ending its complicity in Israel's ongoing genocide. 6/7

Yesterday the govt shamefully passed an extreme measure to give police new powers to effectively ban repeat protests - we know this latest assault on our civil liberties is another bid to maintain its complicity in Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. 1/7

Excellent article by Jonathan Rosenhead describing why the draconian anti-democratic UK Policing Bill threatens our right to peaceful protest for Palestine. What IS this Labour Government doing? newarab.com/opinion/uk-pol…

The expansive police powers in the Crime and Policing Bill are a direct response to the demonstrations in solidarity with Palestine. I was among those voting against it, but as a teller, my vote cannot be counted. I will continue to defend our hard-won right to protest.
