We've written to UNESCO raising concerns over the recent raiding of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israeli settlers & Ben-Gvir. The safeguarding of Palestinian cultural and religious sites from Israeli appropriation & attack is a duty the UN must not fail to uphold. ℹ️ icjpalestine.pulse.ly/ynyr92vmeh
The UN flag against a blue sky, with a tree in the background to the left. Text reads: "UNESCO: Condemn Israel's raid on Al-Aqsa". Image credit: Tony Webster via Wikimedia CommonsThe UN flag against a blue sky. White text in a black box reads: "We have written to the Director of World Heritage at UNESCO, raising concerns over the recent raiding of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem by Israeli settlers alongside far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. It follows Israel’s increasing attempts to consolidate total sovereignty over Al-Aqsa.

UNESCO’s role in safeguarding Palestinian cultural, historical, and religious heritage sites is of fundamental importance in the face of increasing Israeli attempts to erase Palestinian cultural heritage."

Reducing dependence on fossil fuels is a key component of energy security. Even if you're skeptical about climate change, you must agree it's not sensible for nation to be susceptible to massive inflation every time the global oil/gas supply gets destabilised.

So Israel is launching a "preventive" strike on Iran and also announcing a state of emergency, because they expect Iran to respond to their "preventive" strike by launching missiles. So like... what's being prevented here?

Israël a repris l’offensive à Gaza avec d’intenses frappes ayant fait au moins 330 morts
Les frappes ont fait plus de 330 morts, « en majorité des enfants et des femmes », selon le Hamas, qui annonce par aillerus que son chef du gouvernement à Gaza figure parmi les victimes. Le ministre de la défense israélien a averti mardi que les combats ne cesseraient pas « tant que tous les otages ne seront pas rentrés chez eux ».

US (and European) universities have neither supported Palestinian liberation nor cut ties with Israel nor protected the rights of student protestors. They’ve done the exact opposite. They were and are always going to collude with cops, Zionists, and imperialists. They've chosen.

@scientifiquesenrebellion.fr et @xrfrance.bsky.social ont décroché une victoire judiciaire majeure cette semaine ! 🎉 16 militant·es poursuivie·es pour avoir bloqué un pont dans le port ont été relaxé·es par le tribunal du Havre au motif de l’état de nécessité face au changement climatique.
Photo du rassemblement devant le tribunal du Havre, avec une banderole « Stop terminal méthanier, le Havre en danger » ou encore une autre « Réponse de l'État à l'urgence climatique : mettre les scientifiques en procès ».Photo de l'action sur le pont François Ier dans le port du Havre, avec une banderole « The Science is Clear: gaz + charbon + pétrole = catastrophe climatique. Scientist Rebellion ».Extrait du jugement. Il rappelle que « l’état de nécessité peut être défini comme la situation dans laquelle se trouve une personne – ou un groupe de personnes – qui n’a d’autre choix que d’accomplir un acte prohibé pour sauvegarder un intérêt supérieur. Cet état de nécessité se caractérise par un danger actuel ou imminent et une violation de la valeur protégée nécessaire et proportionnée ». Il souligne que « la France subit les conséquences du dérèglement climatique provoqué par l’activité humaine. Il ressort également de ce rapport [du GIEC] que la France ne pourra pas atteindre les objectifs de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre qu’elle s’était fixée ». Il reconnaît que « la réalité et l’imminence du danger sont avérées » et en conclut que « l’entrave à la circulation apparait comme ayant été nécessaire pour attirer l’attention du public et des médias sur la construction du nouveau terminal méthanier en contradiction avec l’objectif général de diminution de recours aux énergies fossiles. Elle apparait également proportionnée face à la menace. »
