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.

🚨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.

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.

If he exists. big if. then his upset is that he finds he can't go into any space right now where support for genocide and apartheid and the starvation of children is not challenged by people of conscience. Get used to it.

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.

Comprehensive documentation of the impact of Israels blockade which the flotilla has for years sought to highlight. Israel has stopped these boats, including killing people on board, in defiance of laws protecting freedom of the seas.
