First, know this: This young man has had his diploma suspended for doing this.
Now, watch what he did:

It's quite simple.
You cannot say you oppose Israel's plan for the mass ethnic cleansing of Gaza if you keep providing them with the weapons they need to carry it out.
The government’s refusal to end all arms sales to Israel is becoming more egregious by the day.

A new paper published in Nature — one of the most respected science journals — finds that the world's wealthiest 10% are responsible for 67% of global warming.
The rich are burning our planet.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Because of the immense difference in income between rich and poor countries, to be in the richest 10% globally, you would have to make roughly $20,000 a year as an individual. This would be poor enough to qualify for Medicaid in the United States.

Rigged top heavy economy
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Removing the top 1% of U.S. earners would drop the average income from ~$75K to ~$70K—a ~7% decrease. Claims that removing just a few top earners would cut the average by $10K are way off.
Top 1%:

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza.
If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

The UK has abstained on a UN resolution demanding an end to Israel's occupation of Palestine.
A shameful chapter in this government's ongoing contempt for international law and the dignity of Palestinians.
End the occupation. Free Palestine.

I've never seen these guys posing with a Qassam sniper rifle or RPG, all the "trophies" IDF soldiers keep displaying to show off their victories are like wheelchairs, children's toys, and women's underwear. That should tell you something.

Today #COMPET Council meets to agree new conclusions on “a competitive European industry”.
#Competitiveness is word of the moment in Brussels bubble with Europe’s biggest industries pushing this agenda hard.
But this agenda should worry us deeply

ALT This cartoon shows a big, scary fish under the sea, with teeth barred. The fish has a banner called ‘competitiveness’ and a net called ‘green wash’. Smaller fish are close by and looking worried about being swallowed up, with labels saying ‘consumer safety’, ‘workers rights’, and ‘environment’. Cartoon by @CartoonRalph

David Lammy claims Nelson Mandela would not have agreed with student protests about Gaza. But Mandela said “We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians."

The assault on Rafah is another utterly despicable war crime.
As bombs rain down on a trapped and terrified population, we implore our government to find an ounce of humanity and end its complicity in this senseless massacre.
Wake up. This is not war. This is genocide.

“This is not a normal war. The war in Ukraine has killed 500 kids in two years and the war in Gaza has killed over 10,000 in less than five months. We have seen wars before but this is something that is a dark stain on our shared humanity.” -Dr. Fozia Alvi theguardian.com/world/2024/a…

As World Central Kitchen confirm, Israel slaughtered their aid workers despite:
1) Travelling in a deconflicted zone
2) Travelling in cars branded with the WCK logo
3) Coordinating movements with the IDF
4) Leaving a warehouse
How can this not be intentional? How?
World Central Kitchen is devastated to confirm seven members of our team have been killed in an IDF strike in Gaza. Read our full statement on the loss of our team members here: wck.org/news/gaza-team-updat…

The British government is knowingly aiding and abetting Israel - despite its lawyers informing them that Israel is committing war crimes.
No excuses.
This is crucial evidence which should be used to put politicians on trial for complicity in genocide.
