Orwell wrote this about his experience in Marrakesh. It may clarify things a little for those shocked at the lack of humanity shown by Europe and the 'West' for the suffering in Palestine. The tactics of empire are as effective today as ever.

Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur, is now facing direct consequences for choosing to stand up for humanity and defend human rights after being sanctioned by the United States.

Her private medical insurance refused to reimburse her solely because she is under US sanctions. Even official engagements have been obstructed: the European Union Parliament invited her for a talk, booked a room for her, and then cancelled it simply because the reservation carried her name.

Cities are essential in global climate action and preventing climate crises. Supported by the EU, the @Mayors4Climate unites over 13,800 cities globally to drive solutions for the Paris Agreement goals. Together, cities could address up to 40% of the emissions gap to the 1.5°C target. Ahead of COP30, GCoM's 2025 Impact Report shows how cities are implementing plans and turning commitments into real results for a sustainable future.

@Eko_Movement Suspend immediately

The EU claims to care about Gaza and human rights — but right now, behind closed doors, they’re backing down on real measures that could stop Israel’s crimes.

On Tuesday, July 15, EU leaders will vote on whether to suspend trade with Israel and finally hold it accountable.

They just struck a deal with Israel to allow some aid deliveries — and now they’re hiding behind that deal as an excuse for inaction on Tuesday. Don’t let them.

EU leaders: Suspend Israel. No more excuses.

@Avaaz @bundeskanzler @EmmanuelMacron @GiorgiaMeloni This cannot continue

[Avaaz @Avaaz]

Can we look Gaza’s children in the eyes — and still reward Israel with special economic treatment?

This is the only question European leaders have to answer when they meet today, as Gaza’s children being starved and suffering.

@bundeskanzler @EmmanuelMacron @GiorgiaMeloni @vonderleyen Its time to risk it all — and help save these children!
