The current hand-wringing by Keir Starmer and other western politicians is empty bluster. They knew what was happening all along, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

Sens.
Mes mots sont brisés, écrits avec douleur, prononcés avec rage, et chaque fois qu'ils tentent de s'élever, ils retombent en cendres. Les verbes ont perdu leur sens. Les noms sont las d'abstractions. Et ils ne fixent qu'un monde exaspérant, privé de sens.

People in Germany were having their visas and funding cancelled for calling for this; they were having their doors kicked in and being deported; they were being accused of sympathising with terrorists and war criminals. They still are, in fact. It’s absolutely shameful.

This is how much destruction Israel inflicted on Rafah between January 29 and May 9 of this year. Remember, this period included a ceasefire from January 19 to March 18. Rafah no longer exists as a city. Israel completely destroyed it.
