BREAKING: Israel snatched an American teen from his West Bank home in the middle of the night — just days before his birthday and during his critical national exams. He's now been held for 3 months, with no charges. Netanyahu just came to the US for the *eighth* time since Trump took office.

Two countries voted against making food a human right at the UN, Israel and the USA. The vote would have mandated the UN to prevent starvation, and the US and Israel didn't want to fund preventing starvation.

One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape, Scott Kretzschmar, denies it and says through his attorney that they are going to “confront” the survivor through the court system. I can already tell you that means victim-blaming, DARVO, and smears. She is going to need a lot more of our support.

Scottish Council accused of financially benefiting from keeping homeless households in temporary accommodation
STIRLING Council has been accused of financially benefiting from keeping homeless households in temporary accommodation as figures reveal those rehoused in Stirling have waited more than a year on average for a permanent home. Stirling councillor Alasdair MacPherson raised concerns over the money the local authority receives from homeless rents during a Housing Committee meeting on Thursday, 24 September. The independent councillor questioned whether the council was receiving a financial benefit from households remaining in temporary accommodation rather than being moved into permanent housing.

The UK Government has fuelled the violence by continuing to allow arms sales and other military support to the Israeli forces. This includes parts for the F-35 fighter jets that have dropped bombs on civilians.
Andy Burnham and Ed Miliband have brought an opportunity for a renewed push for meaningful and lasting change for Palestine. 

And though we’ve seen progress, the Trade Department and Ministry of Defence are moving slowly, continuing to allow some arms sales and other military support to the Israeli forces, including parts for the F-35 fighter jets that have dropped bombs on civilians in Gaza.And that is why we need to spread the word and continue to hold our government to account.
