To assert the UK has taken enough action in the face of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza is frankly outrageous. We must impose a full arms embargo, halt all military cooperation, ban settlement goods, ramp up sanctions, and ensure an immediate ceasefire & accountability for war crimes.

What on earth are you taking about? I simply asked you for details about something you said. You then launched into a bizarre tirade. For the avoidance of doubt, I’m not Kier Starmer or one of his supporters. People won’t want to engage with you if you behave in this bizarre and aggressive manner.

The director of B'Tselem says: "We have reached a situation where in the West Bank settlers are killing Palestinians in broad daylight, and sometimes right in front of the cameras, and nothing happens to them because they have immunity."

First part is definitely true. I fear the second part is misjudged. Even if the American people do eventually wake up they might find an autocracy they have no way to influence is ruling them.

A new story released by NPR earlier today further confirms what has already been perceived by many: Biden, Blinken, Sullivan and McGurk were personally favorable to Israel no matter its behavior and dismissed internal attempts to hold Israel accountable and to enforce US law on military assistance.

“This referral was made and the team contacted the father, who declined the assessment.” “The girl’s father told the review author he felt “services” had let her and the family down.” Obviously none of this could be his responsibility.

Whoever needs reminding: the Convention on Human Rights is one of the greatest achievements of European civilisation, following one of its greatest tragedies. For us to leave it would not only undermine all our own rights and freedoms, it would be a completely immoral abdication of responsibility.

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war. She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. tinyurl.com/3cn5c9vb

Now that peace looks closer (we're not there yet...) people being all smug about opposing military aid for Ukraine in favour of a negotiated settlement back in March 2022 seem to be forgetting that all of these blue parts were still occupied. "Fighting back was always hopeless" is some revisionism.

As someone who has lived my whole adult life in cities deemed “dangerous”—NYC, NOLA, and SF—I think a lot about how dense cities require patience, calm, and tolerance in the midst of social difference, which are of course exactly the civic virtues that the right resents being told to cultivate.

Ok, thanks. I hope you are right. I worry it’s about words and not deeds. If Isreal were to genuinely accept two states they’ll be recognising Palestine themselves as part of that.
Alceste Du Beurre (@alcestedubeurre.bsky.social) reply parent
Sorry, I still don’t get it. Why not recognise Palestine anyway?
Alceste Du Beurre (@alcestedubeurre.bsky.social) reply parent
Why withhold recognition if Isreal accepts two states? Unless the UK gov wants withholding recognition to be a reward for Isreal to get the Israelis to pay lip service to two states but not have to actually mean it?
Alceste Du Beurre (@alcestedubeurre.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s odd. If Isreal agrees to two states, why would the UK not then recognise both?

The proposals aren’t published yet. EHCPs have only existed for 10yrs. They replaced statements. That wasn’t “scrapping legal support”. It was changing it. Your previous statement that “they will scrap the whole system” was absurd. The 2015 SEND CoP isn’t working. Change is needed.
