Mehdi Hasan, "We have the Geneva Convention"
"We have International Humanitarian Law"
"We have the Rome Statute and the International Criminal Court"
"We have these metrics that were built up over the years, by the UK and the US; they led the world in writing these documents, these conventions"
"The European Convention of Human Rights, which everyone on the British right wants to pull out of, it was written by British lawyers"
"Much of that architecture is now being burnt down to protect Netanyahu, it's kind of insane"
"When historians come back to write these history books, it will be amazing to see how these laws, these conventions, they survived genocides, they survived some of the worst post war era conflicts"
"But they couldn't survive Gaza"
Netanyahu is lobbying for Section 224 in the national defense bill, a provision that quietly expands U.S.-Israel military cooperation and weapons development with almost zero oversight.
The American people do not want more U.S. military aid to Israel. We must defeat Section 224.
BREAKING:
Israeli settlers are burning Taybeh in occupied Palestine.
A village that has stood for thousands of years.
A place where Jesus once walked.
Home to the oldest living Christian community in the world.
And not a peep from Western mainstream media.
Well said Brian Kerr, always standing with Palestine. The FAI cannot shirk its responsibilities by moving the game, it has to boycott both Nations League fixtures against apartheid Israel. #StopTheGame

This is worse than we thought.
Originally I thought it was hidden in the bill and most who voted for it didn’t know it was in there.
Now they are made aware and have the opportunity to remove it, and they REFUSE.
This is NOT ok.
Most Christians pray.
Very few pray the way the Bible actually describes.
The gap between what we do and what Scripture teaches about prayer is wider than almost any other area of the Christian life.
Here are the things the Bible says clearly about prayer that most of us quietly ignore.
A thread. 🧵
This is not World War II footage.
This is Toretsk, Ukraine — and it’s not as far away as you think.
A city that once had over 30,000 residents. Now almost completely erased.
There is no excuse for this. None.
This is not a movie about meteor showers before the apocalypse; this is Russia bombing Kyiv last night. A city with several million people in it - children, the elderly, and normal families just like yours.
Israel just carried out another horrific massacre in South Lebanon.
Dropping massive bombs near Jabal Amel Hospital in Tyre — wiping out 3 apartment blocks full of civilians.
People are still buried under the rubble.
This is an American-backed, American-funded genocide.
🇪🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱 URGENTE: Secuestrada por Israel.
Se llama Alicia Armesto, tiene 62 años y es periodista y miembro del Sindicato de Periodistas de Madrid.
Lleva una semana secuestrada por Israel, en paradero desconocido, junto a otros 9 activistas de la Flotilla que intentaban llevar ayuda humanitaria a Gaza.
Una mujer mayor, defensora de Palestina y de la verdad, desaparecida por el régimen sionista por querer romper el bloqueo genocida.
Esto es terrorismo de Estado. Israel secuestra, tortura y desaparece a quienes denuncian sus crímenes.
Exigimos su libertad inmediata y la de todos los activistas.
This is Khalifa from Gaza, he came to Ireland twice, played football, met the President, charmed us all. He was a Palestine National Youth Team player. He was 20 when he was murdered by Israel, one of the 421 football players they killed. He is why the FAI must not play Israel.
Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.
Seamus Coleman made it clear that "as a Dad as a Son as a Husband as a Brother" whose grown up "knowing what's right & wrong" he won't be playing for Ireland against Israel. Fair play Sheamie!
How many players will follow his good example & also boycott the match?
Trump literally trumped the law. No one is ever going to see Donald Trump get the justice he deserves for all of the crimes he's committed. Why? It's bad. It's REALLY fucking BAD. Listen:

🇫🇷French President Macron is standing with Lebanon and has delivered a big shock to Netanyahu.
🇫🇷 Macron: “3,000 dead in Lebanon. A million displaced. Nothing justifies today's strikes on Lebanon even after a ceasefire. This is an act of a war criminal. This is Unacceptable.”
That’s a leader with backbone🔥👏
This is a massive win for 🇪🇸 Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez and 🇮🇹 Italian PM Meloni. 👏
🇪🇸 Pedro Sánchez was the first leader to raise his voice against Israel. 🔥
🇪🇸 Pedro: “We are not letting Israel mistreat any citizens. I’m taking it to Brussels to get Israel banned across all of Europe.”
🇮🇹 Italy's Meloni followed his lead and pushed back hard.
Now due to them, the UN added Israel to its blacklist for conflict related sexual violence.
That’s what a real leader looks like. They are Europe's backbone. 👏🔥
