The ICJ found Israel's occupation unlawful. It must end.
Until then, under int'l law, Palestinians have the right to resist it through lawful means.
Israel shall protect its youth by ending the colonial project that traps many of them in committing atrocity crimes.
Today I was denied entry into the West Bank, alongside other parliamentary colleagues from across Europe as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
We were held for 8 hours, interrogated and ultimately prevented from crossing the border.
I came to stand alongside Palestinians being attacked for harvesting olives on their own land. Instead, we were turned away, with no reason given.
More than ever, Palestinians are being subject to terror and violence by the IDF and illegal settlers. Increased blockades, demolitions and unthinkable violence have become the norm for Palestinians in the West Bank.
It is more important now than ever that we bear witness and show our solidarity.
But we were prevented from doing so.
I will continue to do everything I can to apply pressure on the Netanyahu government, and those responsible for the persecution and genocide of the Palestinian people.
Agradeço muito pelas palavras, presidente @EmmanuelMacron. Esta vitória reafirma a força do povo para lutar pela democracia e por mais justiça social. Seguiremos trabalhando por um mundo mais justo, com mais direitos, oportunidades e proteção ambiental. Viva a amizade entre o Brasil e a França.
Congratulations to President @LulaOficial on your re-election - a true victory for democracy and progressive values.
I look forward continuing to work together as we create opportunities for people in the UK and Brazil.
Muito obrigado, querida presidenta @Claudiashein. Foi um prazer receber sua chamada telefônica no dia de hoje. Esta não é apenas uma vitória do povo brasileiro, mas de todas as democracias latino-americanas. Seguiremos juntos para defender as nossas soberanias e estreitar os laços de amizade e cooperação entre Brasil e México!
@albathepict@alba Kenny MacAskill wanted to retire and cared nothing for Salmond's legacy.which he happily destroyed by killing the ALBA Party. In doing , he has destroyed his own legacy. He is just the guy who killed ALBA now. Nothing else will be remembered.
Félicitations, Président @LulaOficial, pour votre réélection au Brésil.
Les relations entre le Canada et le Brésil ont progressé grâce à notre partenariat. Saisissons cette occasion pour les renforcer davantage, ensemble – afin de créer de nouvelles perspectives commerciales prometteuses, de protéger l'environnement et d’assurer une plus grande prospérité à nos deux populations.
Congratulations Lula 🤝🇧🇷
A victory for socialists across the world & those opposed to brutal colonisation & US imperialism. A victory for those who support basic human rights & social justice. A victory for integrity & principles. A defeat for Terrorist Trump & Nazi Netanyahu.
The world needed hope right now - and Brazil delivered it.
After a wave of pro-American far-right candidates swept Latin America, Lula defied the odds.
The world's fourth largest democracy has been saved from far-right authoritarianism.
Here's to hope ✊
The War Criminal Campbell has smeared me and @TuckerCarlson tonight on X. When I knew him he was the willing accomplice at the @DailyMirror of Ghislane Maxwell’s father Robert, usually just carrying his hat and coat. So besotted was he with the greatest thief of the century he broke the nose of a Guardian journalist in Parliament for celebrating the fat thief’s trip to Davy Jones Locker. Later he served the War Criminal Tony Blair with similar gusto. He lied and cheated his way through the Blair era, deceiving parliament and people and world opinion equally. None of this has seen him banished from Labour or the great British media and Establishment society, quite the contrary. That he has turned his grease-gun on Carlson and me says more about the Epstein class who still rule than it does about us.
Basic education piece:
Not all Jewish people are Zionists.
Lots of Zionists aren't Jews.
The Board of Deputies largely self identity as Zionists.
The Media often report the Board of Deputies as the opinion of Jewish people.
Yet many Jewish people say #NotInOurName
