Whenever global South states pursue real economic sovereignty they become targets for Western military intervention and sanctions. The assaults on Iran and Cuba are just the latest in a long history of such violence.

Israel massacred six medics in Lebanon today, but Western media didn't cover it because they are too busy trying to manufacture consent for an illegal US invasion of Cuba.

Global condemnation is growing after Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, posted a video of himself taunting abducted Gaza aid flotilla activists as they were being mistreated by Israeli prison guards.

"Which country do you think poses the greatest threat to the world?"

According to the new Democracy Perceptions Index report, the US is named as the top threat by people in 65 out of 84 of surveyed countries. In fact, the US is the top named threat even within the US itself.

“Amid injustice & inequality, do we dare celebrate?

Yes. Because celebration honours the courage of women who speak up, stand up & demand justice.”

“Any regimes that need changing, including the US, Israel & ours, need to be changed by the people, not by some bloated, lying, cheating, greedy, resource grabbing, bomb dropping imperial power & its allies, who are trying to bully the whole world into submission.”

[Extinction Rebellion Global @ExtinctionR]

War is the biggest environmental crime on Earth.

Every bomb dropped poisons the air, the soil, and the water. Cities burn, ecosystems collapse, and generations inherit landscapes filled with toxins, rubble, and trauma. War doesn’t only kill people. It destroys the living systems that sustain life itself.

In a time of climate and ecological emergency, escalating conflict is a direct assault on the planet and on our shared future.

Extinction Rebellion stands against war.
Extinction Rebellion stands against ecocide.

A livable world cannot be built on endless violence. Peace, justice, and ecological protection are inseparable.

Canada’s PM Mark Carney has said the US-Israeli attacks on Iran that triggered the ongoing war do not seem to abide by international law.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Iran’s regime is illiberal and brutal, and the Iranian people deserve the freedom they have long fought for. This gives no right to the US or Israel -whose own policies in Palestine are also illiberal and brutal- to bomb Iran, nor to EU leaders to cloak escalation in hypocrisy.

Today, the US and Israel bombed a girl’s elementary school in Iran. At least 85 girls are dead. They were between 7 and 12 years old. They were in class when the bombs hit. Backpacks and schoolbooks in the rubble. Call it what it is: war.

Trump bypassed Congress, violated the Constitution, and dragged us into a conflict we didn't choose and will pay for with lives and money that should be going to families, schools, and healthcare.

This is what "freedom" imposed by bombs looks like. It is not the place of the U.S. to decide the future of Iran or any soverign nation. Only its people can do that.

This is a feminist issue. Women and children bear the brunt of every war that men in power start. First displaced. First bombed. Last evacuated.

We are in deep solidarity with the everyday people of Iran. We grieve with everyone suffering. We oppose this war.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Make no mistake. The US/Israel war against Iran is a colonial war. Like the genocide in Palestine, the invasion of Iraq and Libya, the incineration of Vietnam and Laos, it is war to subjugate the people of the global South and annihilate their resistance. Colonialism has no place in humanity and it must be defeated.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Allowing elites and corporations to fund political campaigns means they install political leaders who shape policy to their benefit. It is institutionalised political corruption, there's no other way to describe it.

Democracy cannot function under these conditions.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

@YvetteCooperMP Does this principle apply to Venezuela and Palestine too?

Heavy Weapons Fire Destroys Hospital in Oddar Meanchey

ODDAR MEANCHEY — Sen Monorom I and II Hospital, a critical medical facility serving villagers from Sen Monorom I and II, was destroyed by heavy weapons fired by the Thai military.
The hospital sustained only minimal damage during the first round of fighting in July. During a second round of clashes, from December 8 through December 27, repeated bombardment struck the hospital buildings, destroying medical equipment, punching large and small holes through the walls, and collapsing parts of the roofs.
