Jeez. This is awful

Surely my life is not easy. But it is nothing compared to that of the Palestinians under Israeli Apartheid, who continue to be genocided and tortured. With or without sanctions, I will not stop standing for justice. Together we can and we will. #UNA

Keir Starmer is a lawyer and is trained to speak carefully. He also knows that lying to parliament is a resigning offence. When Starmer insisted to journalists that Peter Mandelson successfully obtained security clearance for his appointment, this was a false statement, but one without legal consequences. When addressing the same topic in parliament, Starmer was careful to avoid repeating this falsehood, instead stating only that Mandelson had been thoroughly vetted. Ministers and officials addressing parliament were also careful to avoid stating that Mandelson had been cleared by the security services prior to his appointment. Like Starmer, they formulated their statements in a way that led parliament to believe he had been cleared by the security services without explicitly claiming that this had happened. Starmer and his minions knew exactly what they were doing. They formulated their statements as they did because they were fully aware of the relevant facts and did not want to get caught lying to parliament. They are guilty as sin.

🚨 Action! On April 21, EU foreign ministers will decide whether to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement — or delay again. What they do depends on pressure from us. #SanctionsNow Suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement NOW! action.eko.org/a/suspend-the-…





Members of the Iranian Jewish community inspect what is left of their synagogue in Tehran after Israel bombed it. On Passover...

Starmer declines to say whether his relationship with Trump is in 'tatters' but insists: 'I act in the British national interest and nothing, nothing, is going to deflect me from that'

TAPPER: When Trump threatened to kill the entire Iranian civilization, did that bother you as a diplomat? MARK RUTTE: I'm not commenting. What I want you to know is I support the president

The UK has been working with partners to support the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and to promote a swift resolution to this conflict. We're working with allies across the world to help people back here in the UK.

Priti Patel is asked about Israels attacks on Lebanon yesterday Patel says Israel has the right to defend itself. Lest we forget, Patel was forced to resign as a cabinet minister back in 2017 after it emerged she'd been holding secret meetings with Israeli ministers & lobbyists

The scene in Gaza is always different… the wounded and injured are transported using primitive means, carried with difficulty into hospitals amid a severe lack of ambulances and proper medical transport.

Keir Starmer utterly silent on the war crimes that are happening. He'll drone on about a special relationship but nothing to say on war crimes in Iran, Lebanon, Palestine. Trump and Netanyahu able to behave like we have law of the jungle.

Trump and Israel are bombing civilian bridges in Iran. Not military targets. Bridges that let people escape. Roads that let ambulances reach the wounded. Food, medicine, water: all blocked. We saw it in Gaza, then Lebanon, and now Iran. This is systematic assault on civilians

Israel must immediately repeal the discriminatory death penalty law passed today by the Knesset, as it contravenes Israel’s obligations under international law. The United Nations opposes the death penalty under all circumstances. The implementation of this new law would violate international law's prohibition of cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment. Additionally, this law further entrenches Israel’s violation of the prohibition of racial segregation and apartheid as it will exclusively apply to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Israel, who are often convicted after unfair trials.
