Today, we marched to the U.S embassy with a simple demand: stop arming Israel.
We are going to be here as long as it takes to bring about peace and justice. We will never walk away from the people of Palestine.
I hosted a panel discussion in Parliament this week on alarming violence in #Bangladesh that began with brutality towards students protesting corrupt public appointments but since widened to a broader movement for democracy
Communications blackouts have added to climate of fear
In Bangladesh
- lethal force has been used against defenceless students (many minors)
- the last elections had no other major party candidates present
- the web/ phone signals get turned on and off at will
How can we trust the enquiry when the state controls every institution?
Students are being killed in Bangladesh, and many are injured for protesting the job quotas being imposed by the government. SOLIDARITY WITH THE PROTESTORS! Victory to the students!
🎙️ Eric Cantona: “Defending Palestinian human rights does not mean you are pro-Hamas. Saying “Free Palestine” does not mean that we are anti-Semitic or that we want the disappearance of all Jews.
“Free Palestine” means freeing Palestinians from the Israeli occupation that has deprived them of their basic human rights for 75 years.
“Free Palestine” means stopping locking up 2.3 million Palestinians in the world’s largest open-air prison, half of whom are children.
“Free Palestine” means ending apartheid imposed by the Israeli government.
“Free Palestine” means giving Palestinians control of their country’s major infrastructure." 🇵🇸
Pep Guardiola: “Everyone cares about their own house, [not their] neighbours.
Look what’s happening today, all around the world. And we are sitting here doing nothing. It’s here, around the corner. You know, one day it will come here.
The world is full of injustice”
This is a war on civilians.
On doctors trying to save lives.
On aid workers trying to feed Palestinians.
On teachers trying to put a smile on the faces of children.
This is a war on humanity — and our government should never be forgiven for its contemptible complicity.
