The UK’s recognition of the State of Palestine is meaningless without the proper recognition of international law on the aid flotillas

Israel has boarded the Global Sumud flotilla, representing a further escalation of their response to flotillas seeking to deliver aid to Gaza. The

Taken by @ecusato.bsky.social/Sofia Tamburello's call to see the environment "not just as a ‘casualty’ of military conflict but (...) as ‘one of the means by which colonial racism is enacted, land is grabbed, siege lines fortified and violence perpetuated’" in Palestine.
