Israel committed war crimes "before the eyes" of Labour politicians. Labour's response was to provide them with training, weapons, intelligence and political support.

🥀Anas Sarwar stood by as Keir Starmer's Labour government voted to keep the two-child benefit cap, abandon WASPI women, and arm the genocide in Gaza. A change of leader won't give Scotland a voice. We need to change the system. We need independence.

No Scottish company should be profiting from Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine. That included involvement in resource extraction from internationally recognised Palestinian waters.

'Patchwork of dust and misery': At the Yellow Line dividing Gaza - where all that remains are skeletons of buildings
Not so long ago, Shuja'iyya, in the north of Gaza, was a bustling town of around 100,000 people, proud of a history dating back 850 years. Now, it is a wasteland, a patchwork of dust and misery.

The brief visit was highly controlled and offered no access to Palestinians, or other areas of Gaza. Military censorship laws in Israel mean that military personnel were shown all our material before publication. Sky News maintained editorial control of this report at all times.

Cultural boycotts have been vital in telling oppressive regimes they will not be normalised. Israel must not be allowed to use Eurovision as a platform to launder its reputation while committing atrocities. The UK should join the growing boycott of Eurovision if Israel takes part.

The UK should join the growing boycott of Eurovision if Israel is allowed to take part. Eurovision is a celebration of diversity, love and unity. But that's not possible if it’s being used to whitewash genocide. Israel should be removed as Russia was after its invasion of Ukraine.
Daily record. Patrick Harvie calls on BBC to join Eurovision broadcasting boycott if Israel takes part. Patrick Harvie MSP said the annual musical extravaganza should not be used "to whitewash genocide".

Israel's president should be arrested when he arrives in the UK, not given the red carpet treatment. His state is carrying out a genocide, and his statements, including that there are "no innocent civilians in Gaza", have been cited by the ICJ as evidence of Israel's intent.
