This is a hollow, performative gesture that will do nothing to stop Israel’s colonial project to erase the Palestinian presence in Gaza and the WB. Only sanctions might, and only might.

Did you know that St George, whose flag is being abused by racists as an anti-immigrant dog-whistle, was a Palestinian?

Pure fascist rhetoric. Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller: “The Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization...It is an entity devoted exclusively to the defense of hardened criminals, gangbangers, and illegal, alien killers and terrorists,”

The only issue right now is to stop Israel's genocide. Its intent could not be clearer. Recognition is a red herring. It won't change anything. The Israelis will complain but they will not stop. Europeans are playing a game - '2 state solution', 'peace process' - that ceased years ago

Water off a duck’s back to Israel, as the signatories surely know. The only tactic that might stop them is tough, targeted sanctions. Now. #Gaza

The US is on the verge of martial law. In due course, and if he thinks he will lose them, Trump will suspend the mid-term elections. The excuse, as now, will be the “emergency” of illegal migration, possibly combined with terrorism, drugs or disease. Mark my words.

Never before have companies and governments known so much of our business, so much of our very selves, our identities, who we are. Something vital to our humanity has been lost - perhaps forever - open.substack.com/pub/carneros...

Even democracies have - and use - the tools of authoritarianism

And authoritarians - including Trump - are innovating new tools, fast

Important article by Ilham Ahmed, one of the leaders of North East #Syria. Will Syria be a centralized authoritarian state or a diverse and flourishing democracy, with rights protected for all? The model of #Rojava should be taken up for the whole of Syria.

It’s perhaps no surprise that the disgusting Blair has been advising the grotesque Israeli/US plan to send mercenaries to provide food in #Gaza, forcing Palestinians south. Now he is collaborating in ethnic cleansing. Prosecutions please.
