Many governments want to move on, but the situation in Palestine requires that we keep our attention and pressure. That’s why I wrote this, which I hope you can read and share.

The principal reason for the delay of the Swiss on the women's right to vote was the importance of referendums in their political system. The introduction of federal and cantonal universal suffrage necessitated the vote of the majority of the electors, men in this case, for a referendum.
#OtD 11 Nov 1918 250k men and women began a general strike across Switzerland demanding women's suffrage, pensions and a 48-hour week. 95k troops were brought in to break the strike. Women only got the right to vote in 1971 stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8342...

The quintessential example of the pro-Israel motte and bailey in action: it's not apartheid because the occupied West Bank is not a part of Israel, but everything in the occupied West Bank is a domestic issue for Israelis and the US has no business dictating to the Israelis on this.

The Spanish public television has published the first audiovisual map showing the 6,000 mass graves from the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and the subsequent Francoist dictatorship (1939-1975). A testimony of what happens when fascism wins -something unknown in most of Europe.
El #MapaFosasRTVE es el primer mapa audiovisual con las 6.000 fosas comunes de la guerra civil y el Franquismo.
Los restos de más de 17.000 víctimas se han podido recuperar, pero otras 12.000 personas podrían ser aún exhumadas.
