Yesterday, its co-director Hamdan Ballal was beaten in his home by settlers before being detained by Israeli forces.

@theguardian.com Rather baffled as to how you can write an article about 45 years of bloodshed in Iraq without ever mentioning the US/UK-led invasion, instead describing it as a "civil war"? How is that "independent journalism"? www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Is there a word for politicians who claim to care about human rights, equality, dignity, the climate, no genocides ever again – yet in practice show no commitment whatsoever to these principles? The Labour Party is a hollow shell. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
This 77-year-old climate activist should never have been jailed – and now faces a Kafkaesque struggle to get out | Zoe Williams

In BBC coverage, mentions of Israeli and Palestinians deaths competed for space since 7th October.
That's despite far more Palestinian deaths.
There's one exception - a huge spike in the mentions of Palestinian deaths in early April.

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu & Gallant for war crimes & crimes against humanity.
The UK government must comply with the ICC, end all arms sales, impose economic sanctions & suspend its trade deal with Israel.
Nothing less will do.
