"The Jewish State" is a "carbon copy of #Germany in 1930's", as an Israeli rightly put it in #instagramreels last week. Genocidal #Israel protected by the now neo-Fascist Trump's #USA is both criminal under international law and beyond disgusting. forsea.co/genocide-as-is…

Please read my piece in @officialFORSEA reacting to the news that the UK government (@GOVUK) & the police (@PoliceChiefs) are concerned about Hindutva & other ideologies, though they aren’t speaking about it publicly. This is a good sign in some ways, but we must remember that some may look instinctively to measures like policing, profiling, and surveilling. The real solutions will come from us all doing serious work in communities, fostering dialogue and connection. forsea.co/the-british-st…

The insightful and bracing interview @GilGilmuni & I did with activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee @MaungZ95878 for @WORTnews on the dire situation in his native country of #Myanmar (nee #Burma). Listen in! @officialFORSEA @FFRF wortfm.org/can-we-all-get…

@amitpal @GilGilmuni @MaungZ95878 @WORTnews @FFRF Thank you. Here is the recording. wortfm.org/can-we-all-get…  And @CFR_org blogs reaches a similar conclusion on #Myanmar: the vicious civil war will remain protracted. And #Myanmar junta collapse unlikely, NOT seen as even desirable by external actors. cfr.org/blog/could-mya…

@GilGilmuni & my intvw with #Nobel nominee & activist @MaungZ95878 providing superb analysis of his native country of Myanmar (nee Burma) will be broadcast on @WORTnews' "World View" at 5:30 p.m. Central today. Listen in if you can! @officialFORSEA @ffrf wortfm.org/listen-live/

@JP_Peacemaking @hrw Ditto on @amnesty. @officialFORSEA will be publishing an interview with Jack Healey, who, as a veteran civil rights and executive dir of AI/USA half century ago on the HR world & moral & intellectual inconsistencies. When lawyers run things the words are elastic. #Rohingya

So, um, it turns out, finally, @HRW can reach a conclusion about genocide? So, there's no need for a prior decision by a court/tribunal? And intent can be inferred by conduct (ie a pattern of actions & expressions)? But why so late? Why not Uyghurs etc? And the duty to prevent?

Thank you @officialFORSEA for publishing my piece about the @GOVUK’s inhumane decision to ban #Syrian #refugees from the UK. It is shocking that the #government would do such a thing, especially given that the #UK is responsible for the chaos engulfing #Syria and the Middle East. We must reverse this ban and welcome all asylum seekers as is our moral and legal duty under international law. #SyriansAreWelcomeHere #LiftTheSyrianBan #WelcomeAsylumSeekers #RefugeesAreWelcomeHere #AtithiDevoBhava #WelcomeGuestLikeGod forsea.co/syrian-refugee…

#Syrian Refugee Ban: The Latest #UK Foreign Policy Evil - @officialFORSEA @Hindus4HR  forsea.co/syrian-refugee…

Why I resigned as chairman of Amnesty Israel forward.com/opinion/681370…

@RajivSinhaG The DNA of Britain: While the idea of Other had existed before what is now "Europe" or "the West" the sick politics of Skin is inextricably rooted in the apartheid invented by quintessentially colonial Britain & taken to a new low in S. AFRICA, Israel, USA, Australia & Germany.

YET ANOTHER UK FOREIGN POLICY EVIL Yesterday I saw the news that the UK and other countries have suspended the asylum applications of Syrians. I was disgusted but thought that I must have missed something. I’ve now reflected on this for 24 hours and don’t think that I missed anything, this is just another example of Western imperial evil. The UK aided the US’s Operation Timber Sycamore in which the CIA and partners armed and trained several jihadi groups opposed to Assad’s regime of terror and repression. Jihadi groups were the exact reason why, starting just ten years before, we commenced the destruction of Afghanistan and Iraq. But we were happy to forget about that to go ahead with regime change. Now, whilst our #government is enabling and supporting this #genocide against Palestinians and with conflict taking up the attention and resources of #Russia, #Iran, and Hezbollah, Assad’s rule has been put to an end by the same rebels we prepared, gross uncertainty takes over #Syria, and our government is quick to tell #Syrians that they are not welcome in the UK. What a diabolical chain of events. Tory versus Labour — what’s the difference? They’re two sides of a corporate, racist state. The Tories put forward a brown face to chant “stop the boats” for a year and half before white supremacist mobs rampaged through the country beating people up, setting fire to an asylum seeker hotel, and of course chanting “stop the boats”. Labour has given us a more familiar face of racism — a white man telling us that ‘people coming from countries like Bangladesh need to be removed’, purging his own party in a racialised way, and now telling us that people from a torture state, escaping a war that we inflamed, cannot come here. We caused this chaos. We are directly complicit in this so we have a particular responsibility to step up and do the obvious, right thing. EVEN IF WE DIDN’T CAUSE THIS, we should be welcoming people who need support. How can we refuse to help people who need the most basic things? How can we deny people roofs over their heads, open arms, and a loving embrace? What has happened to us? Analysts have spoken about how this is a hark back to the so-called “refugee crisis” or “migrant crisis” that led to Brexit. As if the only thing that mattered about people being murdered, mutilated, gassed by their own leader was the demographic implications in white-majority countries. The biggest crisis I see here is of the inability of Western countries to look at the rest of the world with humanity, to recognise themselves in the eyes of suffering people with brown or black skin. Empire in practice if not on paper. People are also quick to point out, in a similar vein, the fact that the UK is already in economic decline and we should be getting #immigration under control so that we can look after “our own”. These far-right talking points betray how mainstreamed in our politics and society #fascism has become. There is no “our own”; what is meant by that is white Brits. Do we sort white Brits into Angles, Saxons, Normans, and Celts? We most certainly do not, but we do sort any Brit of colour. The 2021 UK Census contained 19 ways to racially taxonomise human beings according to how they look. There are five categories of white people, with one being as broad as “White: English, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish or British”. There are, apparently, five types of Asians, three types of Black people, and four types of mixed people. Perhaps if we didn’t’ differentiate between human beings, we wouldn’t bomb them, starve them, then refuse them a home. When was the vote that pushed through the decision to effectively ban Syrians from seeking refuge here? The government (@GOVUK) must reverse this. We are not far behind Austria’s atrocious plan to deport Syrians. I want as many Syrians, who want to come to the UK, TO COME TO THE UK. Syrians, Palestinians, Lebanese, Congolese, Sudanese — everyone who needs support and affirmation of life and humanity, you are welcome here. #SyriansAreWelcomeHere #LiftTheSyrianBan #WelcomeAsylumSeekers #AtithiDevoBhava #WelcomeGuestLikeGod theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/d…

Syria's torture chambers sound nearly as horrifying as Israel's rape and torture chambers.

@officialFORSEA's Maung Zarni travelled to @AuschwitzMuseum 4 times and studied the Nazi genocide with the late Robert Lewis Koehl, US Army Intel Surveyer who interrogated SS in 1945. He drew Auschwitz-Gaza parallel at Kerem Shaloom Gaza Crossing this summer.

@AbubakerAbedW @nywarcrimes Well done Abdulbaker you write so well. We all want this horrific genocide to be over asap & for all Palestinians to live free, dignified & independent. We’ll continue to support that cause anyway we can
