The UK has abstained on a UN resolution demanding an end to Israel's occupation of Palestine.
A shameful chapter in this government's ongoing contempt for international law and the dignity of Palestinians.
End the occupation. Free Palestine.

The Great Plague of London killed an estimated 100,000 people. This artwork is from a 1625 pamphlet, "A Rod for Runawayes", by Thomas Dekker. It shows Death chasing people out of London, and rural people, who were fearful of the plague, driving them back.
This video captures the horror of the Srebrenica Genocide. It’s difficult to imagine being in such a helpless position but i think everyone needs to watch it if they want to understand what happened in Bosnia.
#Srebrenica
An attempt to erase the name Srebrenica from the geographical map is nothing but covering up the magnitude of genocide. Luckily, Srebrenica genocide now has been permanently engraved in the memory of the mankind due to the efforts of mothers and survivors.

Nikki Hailey in Israel scribbling "FINISH THEM"on the shells that the IDF is about to fire into Rafah in defiance of the International Court of Justice. Biden provided the shells, Republicans autograph them. The US political class is united in its complicity with this genocide.

The Lemkin Institute has had it with the cynical lies and propaganda from Israel and the USA. One can have different views about the definition of genocide, but one may not use definitional disputes to deny genocide. If a genocide may be occurring, every nation is compelled by customary law to try to stop it.
Let us be clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The US is complicit in genocide. These are not political statements. They are statements that are made from knowledge and experience. Nevertheless, you do not need a PhD , a law degree, or X-ray vision to see the genocidal dimensions of Israel’s carnage in Gaza. It is clear in the behavior of the state and its military, on full display in yesterday’s horrific bombardment of a Rafah camp.
But even if there were legitimate doubts about Israel’s genocide, there is no doubt that Israel is committing atrocity crimes of the most barbaric kind. Israel must be stopped. Israel must be stopped now.
We are disgusted by Western leaders, especially in the USA, Germany, and the UK. They have demonstrated not only that they don’t care one bit about genocide prevention and human rights, but also that they are willing to allow an ally to commit atrocity crimes while they offer material and diplomatic support. It is reprehensible and the individuals involved in this gaslighting campaign should be deeply ashamed. They should also be put on trial.
Humanity has a choice: Either we decide that our children can all be killed whenever a superior force alleges that “terrorists” are among us, or we decide that under no circumstances will we allow these superior forces to lay waste to our world any longer.
We each must choose and act accordingly. The watershed moment is now.
Palestinian children should wake up feeling excited to go to school and play with their friends.
Instead, for those murdered in Rafah, their last moments on this earth were filled with unimaginable fear as bombs rained down on their tents.
What a monstrous failure of humanity.
