Today, Europe’s credibility is at stake,” Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares told reporters before Tuesday’s meeting in Luxembourg. “I expect every European country to uphold what the International Court of Justice and the UN say on human rights and the defence of international law. Anything different would be a defeat for the European Union.”

But German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul called Spain’s request “inappropriate”, saying any issues should instead be discussed in a “critical, constructive dialogue with Israel”.

Hmm, who is this Wadephul character?

“I'm the clearest defender of Israel in Brussels, Germany's Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul says.”

Well, I hope history is taking notes in the unlikely case that we have some new Nuremberg trials in the future. Always good to know who enables genocide.

This is what the barbarians in Israel do and proudly broadcast to Westerners.

What do they do to Palestinians when there are no cameras or international attention?

(We know what they do because it has been documented over and over again: torture, rape and sexual assault, murder… the last of which has now been made legal.)

Watch this and be outraged. Not because it happened to Europeans but because it is happening to Palestinians every day and has been not just for the past few years but for over 78 years of settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and genocide.

Stop Israel! Free Palestine!

Some horrific stories coming through from the flotilla crews about their treatment in captivity - broken bones, torture with electricity and more.

The IDF are *furious* with Ben Gvir for putting out that clip, not because of the content, but because now everyone knows how they behave.

CW: this clip contains reference to sexual assault

An article on the evacuations carried out last week by IUPALS (Italian Universities for Palestinian Students) that @joynewacc shared with me (which also has lovely photos of her and the other students in it):

chiesadimilano.it/news/attuali…

While the article is generally good, it does call it a “war” (it’s an ongoing genocide) and it does focus very much on how thankful the students are for the evacuation (which, of course, they are) without mentioning that it is the bare minimum a country whose government is complicit in the genocide could do to atone for its sins.

It also doesn’t mention, for that matter, that a certain professor at the university had to post 15 viral videos on Instagram until the Italian government’s on-purpose blocking of the evacuation became more trouble for them than it was worth, thereby forcing their hand to allow it to go ahead (this is why we’d been waiting since November. The Italian government saw that the evacuations were working and decided to put a spanner in the works right before Joy’s group was due to leave.)

Having met and spent time with all of the students in Milan last week I can attest that it is *we* who are so much better off having them with us. And it is us who should be thankful.

We also have so much work left to do: To force our governments to cease their complicity in genocide, to compel Israel to end this genocide, and to dismantle the apartheid state and begin the reparations process. Those of us on the right side of history will not stop until the people of Palestine are free.

PS. While Joy is safely in Milan now, her family are not. You can support them using this fundraiser: chuffed.org/project/farah-need…
