Take a glimpse at our recent Palestine Solidarity Dinner.

We heard first-hand about the barriers facing Palestinian producers.

Israel is stealing land, destroying olive groves, and building illegal settlements on Palestinian land.

Argentina’s far-right government blames Indigenous Mapuche communities for the wildfires devastating Patagonia.

But judicial investigations have found no evidence to support this – despite officials suggesting links to “terrorism”.

The real evidence points elsewhere.⬇️

5/ The UK government must speak out — for diplomacy, peace and respect for Cuban sovereignty.

No more endless wars or US imperialism. End the blockade. Only the Cuban people can decide their own future. https://t.co/V0lG5HeAfz

1/ The US is escalating tensions with Cuba. But the UK government is remaining silent. Sound the alarm...🧵

4/ We’ve seen this US playbook before: calls of “freedom” used to justify invasion, chaos and suffering. People are right to be alarmed. https://t.co/I5r2o101aU

A just transition away from fossil fuels and towards societies built on publicly-owned renewable energy, strong public services and equality is no longer optional – it’s necessary.

As the UK records its hottest ever May day temperature, a landmark climate report warns that the UK is ‘built for a climate that no longer exists’.

It’s clear: we need urgent action to tackle the climate crisis and protect life as we know it.

Still the impacts of climate breakdown are being felt even more intensely across the Global South.

Across South and south-east Asia, informal workers can no longer recover from the heat – battling exhaustion amid soaring temperatures.

🚨Liverpool tops the @PremierLeague table*

*of complicity in Israel’s genocide & apartheid against Palestinians through its sponsorships.

Our🆕briefing reveals injustice in football. 9 clubs are sponsored by corporations involved in Israel's atrocities: https://t.co/P7kbRZcqaz

[War on Want @WarOnWant]

It's not just Arsenal – nine English clubs have sponsors involved in Israel's atrocities – sponsors they promote to millions of fans. This is sportswashing.

It's time for football to show genocide and apartheid the red card.

🚨 Arsenal win the @PremierLeague – but come second in our league table of complicity in Israel’s genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.

@Arsenal has four sponsors involved in Israel's atrocities – but that's not all. Arsenal's complicity goes deeper👇

[War on Want @WarOnWant]

In October 2025, stewards at Arsenal's Emirates stadium denied entry to an Arsenal supporter unless she removed the Palestine shirt she was wearing.

Arsenal’s actions are excessive and discriminatory, and breach supporters’ rights to freedom of expression.

[Novara Media @novaramedia]

Liverpool FC is top of the table, but not of a league to be proud of.

A 4-2 pasting at the hands of Aston Villa on Friday night affirmed the Reds’ mediocre season on the pitch. But, according to campaigners, Liverpool is number one in complicity in the Gaza genocide.

War on Want have published a league table of Premier League clubs’ ties to Israeli actions in Palestine.

Liverpool are ahead of north London rivals Arsenal and Spurs in joint second place.

Man United and Man City are tied in third place while the fourth spot is shared by Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Everton and Fulham.

The league table is part of a report entitled Red Card: English Premier League Complicity in Israel’s Atrocities Against the Palestinians. The report says at least 15 Premier League sponsors have connections to the military assault on Gaza, the construction of illegal settlements and the wider system of apartheid.

Liverpool’s shirt sponsor, Standard Chartered, provided $15.4bn (£11.5bn) to 24 complicit businesses between January and August 2025.

The Premier League itself is sponsored by Barclays bank, which the report says has provided billions to 49 complicit companies.

Neil Sammonds, senior campaigner on Palestine at War on Want, said: “These clubs speak proudly about equality, inclusion and community. Yet behind the branding, some are using ‘sportswashing’ to sanitise corporations connected to some of the gravest crimes and humanitarian catastrophes of our time.

“Palestinian footballers are being killed. Stadiums are turned into detention camps. Child players are buried beneath rubble.

“The Premier League has shown before that it can act when sponsorship becomes morally toxic. The question is why Palestinian lives appear to count for less.”

Beatriz, Sameera and everyone on the flotilla were trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the blockaded Gaza Strip.

Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza is still happening.

Israel must free the humanitarians, stop the blockade of Gaza and end the genocide.

[War on Want @WarOnWant]

Israel has abducted humanitarians from the @gbsumudflotilla in international waters. This is illegal.

Israel is holding our allies Beatriz Moreira, a key figure in organising the People’s Summit at the COP30 climate talks, and medic Sameera Mahboobdeen.
