A ship carrying Indian weapons for Israel has been barred from docking in Spain en route to the war zone because Spain does not allow supply of arms if it could be used for genocide. Spain is doing what Modi govt failed to do: Act against genocide. 1/9 https://t.co/UOBHhP1bAD

The simplest of simple questions: if Israel isn’t committing war crimes or ethnic cleansing in Gaza, what does it have to hide? Why won’t it allow in foreign journalists *six months* on from the start of this offensive?
Foreign Press Association presses again for immediate access to Gaza raising “questions about what Israel does not want international journalists to see”. The US administration has also pressed Netanyahu directly on the issue, still no change.

A Christmas message from Rev. @MuntherIsaac. “If you are not appalled by what is happening in Gaza…there is something wrong with your humanity… we, the Palestinian people, will recover… but for those who are complicit, I feel sorry for you. Will you ever recover from this?”
