Israel's settlements are not only illegal but devastate Palestinians' lives. This 2-pager is to help push UK & all to end complicity & support justice & self-determination for all. @waronwant.bsky.social @glanlaw.bsky.social @caatuk.bsky.social @icjpalestine.com @globaljusticenow.bsky.social

Pussyfooting on eco sanctions on Israel, in line with int'l law to end illegal occupation etc, is more absurd given the #1 perpetrator of illegal economic warfare worldwide since the 1990s is Israel, particularly on Gaza. Watch👇 al-Haq webinar on 3rd State Oblig's & the ICJAO tinyurl.com/42xf8w45

All the hundreds of Palestinians held in Israel's Ofer Camp are tortured, beaten - incl to death - & humiliated. Horrors at notorious Sde Teiman have not reduced, they've been relocated. ‘My hands are paralyzed from torture’ www.972mag.com/ofer-camp-to...

A privilege to talk on Palestinian children alongside @hzomlot @iqbalmohamedMP @ThePCRF with the Association of the Palestinian Community in the UK. The UK must have a medical evacuation scheme for Palestinian children given huge health needs, caused in part by UK support for Israeli war crimes.

Hey PM Starmer, FS Lammy & Pat McFadden with your vocal support Israel's invasion & wider attacks on Syria you are likely accomplices in the Crime of Aggression. Better read up! ⚖️

"Of the 480 strikes carried out by the Israeli Air Force about 350 were manned aircraft strikes" - most likely F16s in which case almost certainly as well as F35s 100 certainly with UK-made parts, underlining British complicity in these acts of aggression. www.cnn.com/2024/12/10/m...

So many outstanding Syrians I met 2003-17 when with @amnesty & who lost liberty & it seems life struggling for freedom & democracy. On human rights day & always I remember Razan Zeitouneh, Khalil Maatouq, Abdullah al-Khalil & Abdel-Aziz al-Khayyir & all who gave so much for this new dawn.

Some 96,000 people were forcibly disappeared by the Syrian regime & are mostly unaccounted for, according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights. A devastating legacy for Syrians to contend with & to pursue truth & justice for, which we should all try to support.

Not content with illegally occupying & pillaging the Golan since '67, bombing hundreds of targets across Syria, kidnapping Syrians from inside Syria (see @syriahr), Israeli forces seize yet more Syrian territory & wanted war criminal Netanyahu says Golan will be Israel's forever.

Write to your MP to demand the UK's leaders end complicity in genocide. Stop the UK's military, economic, political & diplomatic support for Israel's genocidal & apartheid policies. Support the Palestinians' struggle to exist.
