Make some noise. Share this post. 🚨 The Israeli government has granted itself another means to dehumanise, suppress, and kill Palestinians. Israel is violating international law.
The image says, "PRISON SENTENCE FOR ISRAELIS, DEATH SENTENCE FOR PALESTINIANS." It also says, "Israel's death penalty bill is a reminder: this is illegal occupation, functioning as intended," with the OXFAM logo below.

The conversation about housing is all wrong. For decades, governments haven’t built enough social homes. People are struggling. Yet refugees get blamed. Our new video flips the narrative and focuses on the real issue. Watch it. Share it. Let’s change the conversation.

The UK & other rich countries just gifted U.S. corporations’ a major exemption from int'l tax rules. The UK was already haemorrhaging an estimated $9 billion a year to tax-cheating US megacorps. 🧵Here’s what the latest capitulation to Trump’s bullying means... 1/9
