Israel uses water as a tool for collective punishment against Palestinians, here’s how:

Our government is at risk of making the UK an active party to war crimes. Instead of pushing for a just and lasting peace, they continue to sell arms to Israel and refuse to respect the ICC.

I don't think the average American has any idea what 'normal' everyday life is like for Palestinians in the West Bank (not Gaza) under Israeli military occupation. It is utterly infuriating that we fund this depraved army.

Less than 24 hours since the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, he has sent in bulldozers to destroy the roads in Jenin in the occupied West Bank…🇵🇸💔

I wonder what happened in 2010 that triggered this massive rise in homelessness. It’s a mystery.

This is why (Social) Housing needs to be a key priority at the General Election:

Britain has by far the highest rate of homelessness in the ‘developed world’

'a carer who earned £1 more than the £151 threshold for 52 weeks would typically have to pay back £4,258.80, rather than £52.' theguardian.com/society/articl…

In the same week the U.S. claims Israel is not blocking aid or breaking international humanitarian law:

There is a new, highly profitable asset class in England, traded between corporations, whose units are each worth £100,000 on the books. What are these units? Children in care.
An almost unbelievable story. But all too real.

An Israeli newspaper asks the question that most British politicians would never dare? What about the Palestinian HOSTAGES

Wait let me get this straight: the guy who banned pro-Palestine NGOs in Israel, boasted about sending Gaza “back to the stone age” and called the starvation of 2 mill. people “Israel’s 2nd War of Independence” is the “moderate” who will save Israeli democracy from the “fanatics”?

The Amazon rainforest doesn't just remove ~2 billions tons of CO2 every year. It also moves ~20 billions tons of water through evotranspiration, the so-called 'flying rivers', critical for planetary balance.

I wish more people knew this.

No end to Britain’s financialized welfare system in hands of private equity. Scandalous and so cruel. “How can a child in care cost £281,000 a year? Ask the wealth funds that have councils over a barrel” great piece as usual by ⁦George Monbiot⁩ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Listen to South Africa's representative yesterday in the Hague. Moderate, succinct, humane.

“Our lazy staff have stopped working loads of free overtime for us!”

Yes - you finally found the biting point for NHS staff.

And it only took 15yrs of savage pay cuts, “efficiency savings”, deepening toxicity of culture, daily moral injury, and the targeting of whistleblowers.

The evidence continues to roll in from across the UK. Water privatisation has been a complete failure.

A quick comparison of the Palestinian symbol of resistance to the USA’s - just some food for thought

Here's how it goes.

1) Politicians and media loudly line up behind a war.

2) Critics of the war are denounced as ignorant, morally outrageous and dupes of the enemy.

3) Everything the critics said would happen happens.

4) There's no accountability for the war's cheerleaders.

This is Gaza

The complete humiliation of Joe Biden: Israel blocks aid through land checkpoints. US Navy builds a pier to deliver aid from the sea. Netanyahu fights Joe on the beach & stops that aid too. And still Biden sends him bombs to rain down on Rafah. Splendid! theguardian.com/world/article/…
