Many people puzzled why the Ugandan judge on the International Court of Justice was often the only one to vote with Israel. She explains:“ We are in the end times” and “the lord is counting on me to stand on the side of Israel”

Finally.... The European political elite cannot run away from the facts. The evidence. The sufferings. Israel's genocide and repeated violations of international law. The EU can no longer ignore millions of protestors who for the last 23 months have denounced Israel's

What is happening in Gaza has shaken the conscience of the world. Man-made famine can never be a weapon of war. This must stop. EU aid to Gaza far outweighs that of any other partner. But of course, Europe needs to do more. Here are measures for a way forward ↓

Netanyahu’s extremist government is completely out of control. Not only are they starving children in Gaza, they are now breaking international law by dropping bombs on Qatar, a U.S. security partner. When is enough, enough? NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

If this is the case, Starmer should surely cancel today’s scheduled discussions with Israeli President Herzog in London given Herzog has publicly expressed his support for the strikes in Qatar. Why give Herzog the photo op after a military strike on a UK ally?

I condemn Israel’s strikes on Doha, which violate Qatar’s sovereignty and risk further escalation across the region.   The priority must be an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, and a huge surge in aid into Gaza.   This is the only solution towards long-lasting peace.

The Spanish Government strongly rejects the false and slanderous accusations of anti-Semitism made by the Israeli Government against Spain and the Spanish people, as well as the unacceptable ban on two members of the Spanish Government entering Israel. 🔗 https://t.co/j5Fv4B1VOm

Israel spends millions of euros to spread propaganda, especially targeting European countries, a cross-border investigation has revealed. The current main goal is to deny famine in the Gaza Strip.

Israel spends millions of euros on propaganda, much of it targeted at European audiences. A series of videos seek to downplay Gaza food scarcity.

Only in an apartheid reality can a minister proudly announce 'civilian sanctions', essentially, a code for the collective punishment of thousands of people. The lockdown imposed yesterday on entire villages North of Jerusalem doesn’t even need to be mentioned. It's just a given.

Not least given British mandate origins of today’s conflict, the #Commonwealth has a special responsibility. There’s more background, including the Commonwealth’s advocacy between 1967 and 1997 for a just resolution in Palestine in my open-access article:

@ICOnews Instead, these omissions relate to ICO’s extreme reluctance to exercise its formal powers and functions, a reality which led to no UK #GDPR enforcement notices and just 2 fines (compared to >250 in eg Germany) in 2024/25. An in-depth & independent investigation is needed.
