Quite surreal to hear the argument that the problem with Venezuela was that it was selling oil to US adversaries given that it was the US that decided in 2019 to stop buying Venezuelan oil.

NEW RESEARCH: Yet another independent study (now approaching 65) finds that hydrogen for heating is not a viable pathway at scale. This time it is a study from the German @FraunhoferISI. My meta-review of 54 independent studies is now getting more and more out of date although

1. Norway's position on Palestine epitomises the contradiction of our times. Norway has one of the most active and mature civil society in Europe when it comes to Palestine, critical media, engaged intellectuals and the government has taken very important steps on Palestine.

Belgium supports the proposal for partial suspension of Israel’s access to EU’s Horizon Europe and calls on the Commission to swiftly propose other concrete measures. Proposal could be put on EU agenda on 13 Aug for approval if there’s qualified majority.

Someone leaked our effort to try to sabotage it. Sad. It won't work. Recognizing a Palestinian state is an idea whose time has come. The response of my colleagues has been overwhelming. We will build support and release prior to the UN convening.

A letter signed by prominent House progressives said such a state ‘will need to fully recognize Israel’ and guarantee ‘the disarmament of and relinquishing of power by Hamas’

Many of these companies are complicit in #genocide
This is not business as usual. My new UN report, From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide, is out today. It shows how corporations have fueled and legitimised the destruction of Palestine. Genocide, it would seem, is profitable. This cannot continue, accountability must

And this is Germany in 2025. Treating human rights defenders like CRIMINALS, while receiving alleged int'l criminals with full honours. Fellow Germans: please regain your senses and see the deranged reality you are sinking into: you cannot afford partaking in further

Happening now: Israeli tanks have entered the northern West Bank after 40,000 Palestinians were expelled from three refugee camps in the Jenin & Tulkarm areas. There's a real and present danger that these camps will be erased. This genocide must be stopped. By us all. Now!

Europe deserves to be left reeling after having lost its senses in a paroxysm of self-harming warmongering that left the EU cornered into supporting a never-ending, unwinnable war that condemns Ukrainians to constant carnage. Time to end this war. Now.

Already twice that Trump has said there are now "1.7 to 1.8m people" in Gaza, which means it's probably a number he's been briefed on. Before the war the population was 2.1-2.3m. As a reminder, almost no-one could leave Gaza during the war. Do the math. https://t.co/Kl6IZPHQVL
