Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Rescue boats?

ANALYSIS
Is it time for gunboats to help stop the people smugglers?
With the PM's and Labour's poll numbers tanking as the latest official figures confirm the numbers of migrants and small boat crossings are increasing at a shocking rate, is it now time for a different approach?

JFC. 150 arrested now. In future, when people read how a genocide was allowed to happen in #Gaza, the history books will note that some did take a stand. They included college students, the elderly and the disabled. Their government labelled them terrorist supporters & arrested them.

A post on X by the Met Police in London, accompanied by a photo of protestors on Parliament Sq. The post says:

Arrest update: We’ve now arrested 150 people in Parliament Square.

While many of those remaining in the Square are media and onlookers, there are still people holding placards supporting Palestine Action.

Officers are steadily working through the crowd making further arrests.

I got served this incredible advert over on twitter. It's a book summary written by AI but I bet the book is AI too. It's just so incredibly stupidly funny and every time I read it I start WHEEZING

There's no way to prepare you for this.

"Kindle edition now complete with cover!!

Raphael, a young man in his mid-thirties, returns to the rustic coastal village of Hopetown, where he spent the last few days with his son, Clay, before his son suffers an unfortunate, near-sudden death in a devastating car crash, and during which he, the father, was driving. Join him as he relives the anguish, the blatant incredulity, the consequent meltdown and intermittent pangs of guilt, and which are then followed by an unfathomable void alternating with a sudden surge of emotion, all in that order, on realising that things had forever changed.

While reviving memories, he also crosses paths with a roaming woman spirit of the sea, who claims that he needs her and that she knows Clay's whereabouts, and who is continuously transforming as the relationship grows. The story also teases a complex interplay of emotions and secrets, as some friends also introduce him to Celine, another young woman, who initially seems to be the perfect antithesis of the other woman, and yet is vaguely similar to the other woman in some ways, also setting the stage for an unpredictable narrative in subsequent parts."

Actually sobbing and it's like the ninth time I've read this lol
