The British government’s recognition of the State of Palestine is a huge victory after decades of campaigns.

Ultimately, this decision means nothing unless they recognise the ongoing genocide in Gaza, end arms sales to Israel, and comply with all ICC/ICJ investigations.

UK officially recognises Palestine as a state

Sir Keir Starmer said the UK - alongside Australia and Canada - was taking the step "in the face of growing horror" in the Middle East.

If you’re writing liberation theology from the academy, I’m not saying you shouldn’t be devoted to rigorous and informed scholarship but I am saying you should make your work accessible to the poor people you write and theologize about

Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip.

It is not a threat.

It is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people.

Our demands on this shameful government remain the same: end all arms sales to Israel, impose widespread sanctions, and stop the genocide, now.
