"The ICJ Can't Stop Israel. We Must."
Why has global public opinion shifted so dramatically while government policy has failed to follow? Have protest, boycott and moral persuasion reached their limits?
In the first episode of our second season of the Palestine Deep Dive Chat Show, Ahmed Alnaouq and Hala Hanina are joined by two leading voices at the centre of the Palestine solidarity movement: BDS co-founder Omar Barghouti and incoming director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign Aimee Shalan.
At a moment when the movement is asking itself some of its hardest questions, we look back at what solidarity with Palestine has achieved, where it has fallen short and what comes next.

In May 1948, the jewish terrorist group Lehi sent a booby-trapped bomb disguised as a copy of Shakespeare's plays to British military officer Roy Farran's family home in Wolverhampton.
It was opened by his 26 year old brother, Rex Farran, killing him and destroying the home.
After our trip to the Gaza-Egypt border last year, @SenJeffMerkley & I released a report entitled, "The Netanyahu Government is Implementing a Plan to Ethnically Cleanse Gaza of Palestinians."
Now the Israeli Min of Defense confirmed that's the goal.
We must end our complicity.

Astonishing fact: the BBC has not broadcast an iv with Francesca Albanese since Dec '23.
Almost 3 yrs of genocide & they've not once felt the need to talk to the UN's Special Rapporteur for human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories. /1
Israel has been committing genocide against the Palestinian people.
Piecemeal sanctions against settlement goods or individual ministers won't cut it.
Britain must end all trade, all arms sales, and all support for Israel's economy of occupation, apartheid and genocide.
Netanyahu is now THREATENING EUROPE for refusing to join Israel’s war with Iran.
“Israel will not forget what you did to us in the holocaust.”
“Israel is now protecting the entire continent.”
They are still pulling bones and skulls out of the rubble in Gaza.
We need Nuremberg-style trials for everyone who funded and carried out this genocide.
That means Biden, Trump, Netanyahu, their staff, IDF soldiers, and members of the media who covered up and laundered the genocide.
Ben Gvir deleted his call for building extermination camps for Palestinians. Make no mistake, this is what he wants. When someone tells you they are a Nazi, believe them
"The main cause of antisemitism in the world today is the fact that the Israeli state claims to represent all Jews and is committing a genocide in Gaza, in the name of all Jews.
Israel has the Star of David on its tanks and planes whilst it is killing women and children in Gaza, it’s stirring up antisemitism all the time.
If Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis wants to significantly reduce antisemitism, he should make it clear that Jewish people do not support the atrocities and massacres in Gaza and the West Bank.
The fact that he and leaders in the Jewish community don’t even dream of doing that, suggests that their main concern is to defend the Israeli government, not to defend and protect Jewish people in this country."
