Labour was once the party of protest. Under Starmer the party banned the use of the word "genocide" at its party conference, is moving to proscribe Palestine Action, & rather than intervening to prevent genocide in Gaza Starmer wants to intervene in who can play at Glastonbury.

Another day, another radio debate in which I had to rebuke a fellow journos erroneous and grotesque effort to create a link between Kneecap's pro Palestine position and antisemitism. How far humanity has fallen that we can not collectively condemn genocide.

Was half tempted but too lazy to travel to Belfast for a nice weekend dinner yesterday, so I made duck breasts and home-made gnocchi with black garlic and mushroom at home. Rogue getting in on the action here.

The US attacking another country under the guise of weapons of mass destruction, again, is depressingly unsurprising. So much for America first. Trump is fighting Netanyahu's wars and doing so against US intelligence that Iran was not preparing a weapon or an imminent threat.

Wall to wall coverage and daily stats for how many people are wounded or killed in Israel. Imagine a world where the daily horrors being inflicted on the civilian population in Gaza received this level of coverage. 100% of the population are at risk of famine. Over 55,000 dead.

RT by @EmmaCDeSouza: The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security believes that the G7 leaders have demonstrated unforgivable, willful ignorance about the crime of genocide and the proper way to engage with states that are committing genocide. The recent G7 statement on Israel’s illegal aggressive war against Iran not only fails to treat Israel as a major threat to peace and security globally, but also engages in propaganda techniques that are most commonly used by genocidal actors. G7 leaders should know better than to guarantee impunity to Israel. If they really do not know better, if they believe their own words, they should organize immediate training for themselves and their staffs in genocide prevention. The world needs leaders -- not amateurs or ideological puppets -- making critical decisions at this dangerous time. Read the full statement at: https://bit.ly/G7IsraelIran

Yesterday, at least 70 people were killed and hundreds wounded when Israeli tanks, machine guns, and drones opened fire on a crowd waiting for aid near Khan Younis. This is a war crime, being actioned every day by Israeli soldiers. Genocide continues in Gaza, with impunity.
