The flags of Palestine, Syria, Sudan and Somalia were draped over a huge bonfire tower before it was set alight in Northern Ireland.
Police have arrested a man over the ‘hate display’ erected as part of an annual celebration.
So by trying to not anger Tel Aviv, these governments sanctioned illegal settlers, which needs to be done. But these govs also need to sanction Israel which is aiding and funding these very same settlers committing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, including Christians
You can't make this stuff up.
@haaretzcom reports this evening that Israel's Ministry of National Security, under Itamar Ben Gvir, launched a program to counter settler violence. To do so it intends to allocate approximately ILS 4 million to an NGO - Ahavat Gilad - identified as a financial conduit for settlement outposts whose activities have prompted sanctions by the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, France, New Zeal, and and Norway.
It is further evidence, should any more be needed, that the entrenchment of Israel's unlawful presence in occupied Palestine, and the settler violence that is inherent to it, cannot be dismissed as the conduct of isolated individuals. Where public authorities finance, or otherwise support such activities, State responsibility arises.
I have said it before and will continue to do so: the unlawful presence identified by the International Court of Justice is sustained by State policy, State resources, and State institutions. That is precisely why the Court's conclusions on non-recognition, non-assistance, and cooperation are directed at States, not merely private actors.

Police again very clear. No suggestion Anne Widdecombe's death terror related. Or that it is politically motivated. And that speculation on motive is unhelpful to their investigation.

As the Hasbara Symphony Orchestra cranks up the claim that @RoKhanna illegally entered a "closed military zone," keep in mind that the purpose of these arbitrarily declared zones is to take Palestinian land and put it under Israeli settler control. Nothing to do with safety.
