Analysis: "Britain forced a famine on Ireland, now it’s taking part in the Gaza genocide". "Britain helped exacerbate the Irish famine that happened 170 years ago." Grain, butter, fish & livestock were exported in vast quantities from Ireland, rather than being used to meet the Irish people's needs. Other countries starved or genocided by Britain include Bengal & Kenya. https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/david-cronin/britain-forced-famine-ireland-now-its-taking-part-gaza-genocide #UKStarvation #GazaGenocide #USPol #UKPol #EuroPol #BDS @palestine group . image
Video testimony "Tony Aguilar is a retired Special Forces Green Beret who won a Purple Heart for his service to this country." " He took a contract helping to distribute aid in Gaza. There, he witnessed atrocities committed using American... dollars.

Starmer's dangerous message: "Palestinians can only have their basic rights if Israel allows it". Starmer's statement is conditional, "not a genuine step towards justice" or ending the brutality. It's a distraction, "obscuring the UK's complicity & absolving it of its historical & legal responsibilities." "While Gaza’s civilians starve under siege, the UK dangles a conditional promise of statehood." #Starmer #GazaGenocide #UKPol #EuroPol #USPol @palestine group .
Analysis: "Israel’s leaders said, explicitly, repeatedly, from the very beginning, that they are deliberately starving Gaza’s people." Western politicians "knew what was happening all along & are complicit." In April 2024, US govt depts told Biden that "Israel was deliberately blocking aid" - which legally required stopping the supply of weapons. Biden overruled it. #Biden #USPol #IsraeliCrimesAgainstHumanity #UKPol #BDS #WesternHypocrisy #GazaGenocide @palestine group .

Poll: "60% of Americans said they disapprove of Israel's military action". 32% approve. "52% said they see Netanyahu in a negative light - a significant shift from a year & a half ago" & the lowest stretching back to the 1990s. Most who approve of Netanyahu & his actions are older white Republican men. #Netanyahu #GazaGenocide #USPol #EuroPol #GallupPoll @palestine group .

On Starmer's use of Palestinian statehood as a bargaining chip. Worth a watch even just to see a UK pollie twist himself in Orwellian knots to applaud him. Guests: Alan Duncan, UK Conservative MP Carne Ross, Fmr head, Middle East issues, UN Ahmed Najar, Palestinian analyst from Gaza #PalestinianState #GazaGenocide #UKPol #USPol #EuroPol #StopArmingIsrael #starmer #BDS @palestine group .
Just more weasely words from Starmer & Macron on Palestinian statehood.... Analyst Marwan Bishara slams the UK & France for attaching conditions to recognizing Palestinian statehood. "Why, after two years of genocide, do Palestinians still not deserve security, sovereignty, & justice?” It's another deflection - a meaningless symbolic gesture. #PalestinianState #UKPol #EuroPol #USPol #GazaGenocide #BDS .
