A big Happy Administration day to Rangers. The day that the bears began to realise that everything they had won in the previous 25 years had been based on a huge fat lie.

God Bless Craig Whyte.

“It’s time to take seriously the possibility that it’s our new digital media system that’s the fundamental cause of it all – the poison that’s killing democracy. The true villains of modern history may be the social media overlords – Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, above all…”

The violence against Palestinians in the West Bank is a reminder that genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid have not ended.

We will never stop opposing the occupation of Palestine because we believe in a simple and moral truth: every human being deserves to live in freedom.

A new study has found that almost half of children in Gaza wish to die, as a result of the trauma they have been forced to endure.

Every single supplier of arms to Israel has blood on its hands — and the world will never forgive them.

Following the ICC's arrest warrants, how can the continued sale of arms to Israel possibly be justified?

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza.

If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.

As the ICC finally issues arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders, here’s a promise.

To those who helped facilitate Israel’s genocide - Western politicians, media outlets, and journalists:

We will not rest until you are held accountable for the crime you helped commit.

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.

The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.

Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

Amsterdam's mayor was one of those who described events there as a 'pogrom'.

She has now publicly renounced what she said, and offered regret for erasing Maccabi violence - and how the narrative whipped up anti-Muslim and anti-Arab violence.

The story continues to fall apart

A new UN report finds that the policies and practices of Israel are "consistent with the characteristics of genocide".

There is no excuse for saying you did not know.

This is genocide in plain sight.
