“We call out the genocide for what it is.”

The words of the Welsh First Minister, Rhun ap Iorwerth, speaking PSC Cymru's stand at the National Eisteddfod last week.

The British government must listen and impose comprehensive sanctions on Israel, including a full arms embargo.

Join us for a mass die-in outside the Senedd to call on the new Welsh Government moves beyond words and takes real and effective action to end Welsh complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza.

"All they will find is sand" .
Everything Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term 'genocide' in WW2, identified as essential to biological existence and the social and cultural continuity of a community, has been destroyed in Gaza.

NEW: Seven of the ten Welsh government Cabinet members made our Senedd Pledge for Palestine, meaning they support Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions!

The pledge has been made by almost 40% of Senedd Members, including almost 80% of Plaid Cymru MSs, both Green MSs, & one Labour MS.

A deeply disturbing and meticulously documented report by historians Liat Kozma and Lee Mordechai of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem traces the starvation of Gaza over the past three years through data, testimony, official statements, food prices, aid access, and powerful visual storytelling.

The report documents not only the collapse of food access and humanitarian relief, but also the public rhetoric surrounding it, including statements by Israeli officials openly discussing restrictions on food, water, electricity, and aid. It shows how aid convoys became lifelines measured in “tons of survival,” while ordinary Palestinians faced destroyed roads, military checkpoints, looting, shortages, and impossible food prices.

One image that stays with me is their description of a sack of flour becoming “a month of life.” Another is the simple line: “The lack of access to food led to death by starvation.”

Whatever one’s politics, this is devastating reading. The fact that this report comes from Israeli scholars at a major Israeli university makes it even harder to dismiss.

Originally published in Hebrew in March and now available in English. Worth reading carefully and reflecting on.

This week marks 78 years since the Nakba, when armed militant groups violently forced 75% of the Palestinian population out of their homes & towns to establish the state of Israel on land Palestinians had already been living on for centuries.

Israel is weaponizing infectious disease in Gaza.

Blocked antibiotics. Destroyed labs. Sewage in tent camps. Rodent-borne outbreaks. Malnutrition that wrecks the immune system.

Patients are dying from treatable infections by design.

Israel, the world’s most rogue state, attacked boats carrying humanitarian aid to Palestinians in besieged Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece.

Escalate BDS pressure to isolate genocidal Israel and compel governments to impose lawful sanctions on it now.
