My latest piece on the test the ICJ rulings set for the Labour Gov. "Either you stand against occupation, annexation, genocide and apartheid or you are complicit".
The ICJ ruling finding Israel's occupation unlawful makes the first test for David Lammy's ‘progressive realism’ clear: either Labour opposes dispossession and genocide, or it is complicit.

13th Local council making moves to divest. this one feels special. my local council after a campaign mounted by the brilliant activists at @richkingpsc a branch I helped set up nearly 20 years ago. The council must now fully divest.
🚨Yesterday, Kingston Council took a big step towards divestment by voting unanimously to conduct a “full, urgent and transparent review” of its Pension Fund’s investments to identify companies “complicit in violations of international law and human rights”.🧵(1/5)

That @lisanandy would sit down with a politician who denies Palestinians the right to self determination, has a history of supporting groups opposed to Jews marrying Palestinians to discuss concerns about " racism" is beyond orwellian.

Our #Dontbuyapartheid campaign calls for an end to the sale of Israeli goods and coca cola in supermarkets and stores. This is the type of mass action needed to end UK complicity with apartheid and genocide

This is seismic. Major #BDS victory delivered by sustained, diligent effective campaigning. @PSCupdates activists in 100 branches undertake such campaigns week in week out in towns and cities across the UK.
🚨 BREAKING: The Co-op has announced that it will implement the motion passed at its AGM last month by ending the sourcing of products from Israel. This is a major BDS victory!. All Israeli whole products will now be removed from the shelves.

Elsewhere the President of @BoardofDeputies has urged UK to become militarily involved to support Israels crimes. Imagine leaders of other religious groups claiming divine support for war crimes. Grotesque. Both should be regarded as unfit for any public office.

" With God on our side" Truly appalling. Claims divine ordination for Israels violations of International law. Casually describes the attacks on residential areas and killing of civilians as" drama unfolding in Iran" He seeks to tie the whole Jewish community to these actions.

Truly desperate. An Israeli " huge fan" of Massive Attack somehow missed their copious statements of solidarity with Palestinians over many years. Confronted with a video from @PSCupdates calling for BDS to end genocide and apartheid he felt distressed and unsafe so had to leave.
