At her graduation, she did not forget the students of Palestine.
She said what universities fear hearing:
how do we celebrate education while student money helps fund genocide?
Palestinian students did not leave their universities.
War forced them out.
None of us are free until Palestine is free.
So if France rocked over to the UK, demanded on threat of death that towns and villages 'evacuated' so they could be bombed to smithereens and then called it self defence and a 'buffer zone' everyone would be ok with that? No?, then why are they ok with what Israel are doing.
Not in line with Israel’s values and norms?
That’s not true. Let´s stick to the facts.
While the hundreds of Global Sumud Flotilla activists unlawfully detained by Israel are en route back to their countries, Palestinian prisoners will have to continue to endure unspeakable abuse.
Israel has a long history of incarcerating Palestinians without charge or trial. Its systematic use of administrative detention – detaining Palestinians without charge or trial - is a cornerstone of Israel’s system of #apartheid. Torture and other ill-treatment of Palestinian prisoners have been a cruel reality for decades and only increased in the last 3 years. Over 9,000 Palestinian men, women, and children are currently held in Israel’s prisons. More than a 1,000 are from Gaza and subjected to enforced disappearance or held incommunicado in military facilities and denied access to lawyers or contact with their families.
Amnesty International and other human rights groups have continuously documented a pattern of Israeli authorities inflicting torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment against Palestinians, including through the denial of medicine, food, clothing and sleep, continuous beating, cuffing and blindfolding, dog attacks, rape and other sexual violence, among other abuses. In yet another display of double standards, third states have remained unmoved to the repeated calls to act to bring an end to Israel’s abuses against Palestinians in custody. This must end.
I have watched Israel decapitate children, burn people alive, rape people to death, maul a disabled man to death with dogs, bomb schools, starve an entire population, and shoot children in the head, but somehow I'm supposed to believe that Ben-Gvir's actions "aren't the spirit of Israel."
Hannah Spencer asked at PMQs whether MPs should drink before voting on the climate crisis, disabled rights, housing and child poverty. Westminster's bars cost taxpayers £7.4 million a year and sell pints at £5.45 - nearly £2 cheaper than the pub opposite - while losing £56,000 annually despite paying no rent.
The chamber's response to Spencer raising this was "get a life". 76% of Britons say it's unacceptable. 52% say it's completely unacceptable.
Who do you agree with?
A closed season to protect pregnant hares was promised – where is the legislation?
“In the King’s Speech last week, the government quietly dropped a bill that would have finally given legal protection to hares after centuries of persecution”
Why????
Such a simple thing to save beautiful hares and their families

Pep Guardiola is much more than just an unbelievable manager.
He spoke up for the people of Palestine, Sudan and Congo while others looked away.
Pep used his platform to defend our shared humanity. That will never be forgotten. Thank you, Pep.
This crow couple has been together for more than 12 years. She broke her beak 8 years ago in a collision with a car.He has patiently fed her and loved her since. They have babies every year and she is an affectionate mother, and the entire flock protect her. Living proof that compassion is not limited to humans 🥰
Until lsraeI is forced to face real consequences for its behavior, the world will remain on a dangerous precipice.
This is a regime that sees itself as exempt from the rules and norms that govern every other nation…one with total disregard for human rights, national sovereignty, and basic decency. And most alarmingly, it has nuclear weapons.
Allowing a dangerous regime like this to operate as an unaccountable rogue actor isn’t just risky; it’s a ticking time bomb that will eventually explode in all of our faces.
A Global Sumud Flotilla participant just testified from the depths of an Israeli detention center
"I was illegally kidnapped by Israel - like 425 other people."
"Handcuffs on my hands and feet. Dragged me. When I couldn't walk, they dragged me on the ground."
"They hit us. Hurt all of us a lot. Handcuffs so tight my hands lost feeling."
"They laughed all the time. Super sadistic."
"Took off my shirt. Took pictures. Mistreated us all night long."
Then she delivered her message to the world:
"Shame on you. Shame on all of you. Shame on every government that keeps trading with Israel. My government is complicit. Europe is complicit. The whole world is complicit."
Sky News just did an extended piece on the UK being the world's largest importer of jet fuel, with zero production capacity.
They managed not to mention the closure 2 years ago of the Grangemouth oil refinery which produced jet fuel.
I've just received an email from the House of Commons confirming that on 22 June MPs will debate the calls for a public inquiry into pro-Israel influence on politics & democracy. The MPs owned by Israel will oppose it, but how many will be brave enough to back a public inquiry?
You spend millions every year so well paid MP's and Lord's can get subsidised alcohol at work.
There are 27 alcohol serving taxpayer subsidised bars and restaurants in the UK.
ALL of them in Westminster.
It's time to make it 0.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States for the seventh time won the war that wasn’t a war, so the United States can open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the not war.
The not war that started to get the uranium that was completely obliterated, so that the Iranians can’t build the nuclear bomb that they weren’t building for the not war that the United States started.
Then the United States which has nuclear weapons threatening to use nuclear weapons to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons because having nuclear weapons is dangerous.
If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
Crazy isn't it Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party had an 'antisemitism crisis' and now Zack Polanski's Green Party does.
While Nigel Farage's Reform party, with Nigel Farage and loads of Nazi lovers, doesn't.
It's like it's some kind of scam used against Left Wing parties.
