The German parliament .... dedicated its annual Holocaust commemorations for the first time to people killed for their sexual or gender identity, and acknowledged decades of post-war persecution.

It's videos like this which have changed my opinion on Zionism. I don't think that there's any way it can leave the Revisionist path any more. There could well have been in the past, but successive choices by Israeli voters have closed that off.

I wrote this about the student protests in Serbia at the beginning of last year, for @NewLeftReview Sidecar. Re-sharing because a few people have asked about the background and because it's my favorite thing I wrote about the protests newleftreview.org/sidecar/po…

One of the highlights of my time in Jordan was visiting UNWRA archives and examining the index cards and other records of the 750,000 Palestinians kicked off their land at the Nakba in 1948. They used to be kept in Gaza and were airlifted out at the beginning of the genocide- Israel has destroyed all the archives that remained. They form the best evidence for some form of reparations in the future and are now being scanned and digitalised
غزة ومنعطف التاريخ: الشرق الأوسط قبل وبعد النهضة (أرض) تنظّم زيارة للمؤرخ ويليام دالريمبل إلى أرشيف الأونروا وحواراً رفيع المستوى حول فلسطين
Gaza and the Turning of History: The Middle East Before and After ARDD Organizes William Dalrymple’s Visit to UNRWA Archives and High-Level Dialogue on Palestine
نظّمت منظمة النهضة العربية للديمقراطية والتنمية (أرض)، من خلال مركز النهضة الاستراتيجي، وتحت عنوان «غزة ومنعطف التاريخ: الشرق الأوسط قبل وبعد»، زيارة إلى أرشيف الصور والأفلام التابع لوكالة الأمم المتحدة لإغاثة وتشغيل اللاجئين الفلسطينيين (الأونروا)، بمشاركة المؤرخ والكاتب البريطاني البارز ويليام دالريمبل، إلى جانب لقاء عمل حواري رفيع المستوى جمع دبلوماسيين وأكاديميين وصنّاع سياسات وخبراء إقليميين، لمناقشة التطورات في غزة وفلسطين ضمن التحولات التاريخية والسياسية الأوسع التي يشهدها الشرق الأوسط.
وخلال الزيارة إلى أرشيف الأونروا، التي نُظّمت بالتعاون مع الوكالة، اطّلع دالريمبل على سجلات ووثائق تاريخية توثّق تهجير الفلسطينيين وتجارب اللاجئين وذاكرتهم الجماعية منذ عام 1948. ويُعدّ هذا الأرشيف، المدرج ضمن برنامج ذاكرة العالم التابع لليونسكو، مرجعاً تاريخياً مهماً يبرز ضرورة الحفاظ على التاريخ الفلسطيني والهوية الوطنية وتجارب أجيال متعاقبة من اللاجئين. للمزيد: ardd-jo.org/news/%d8%ba%d8%b…
The Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD), through its Renaissance Strategic Center (RSC), organised, under the theme “Gaza and the Turning of History: The Middle East Before and After,” a visit to the UNRWA Photo and Film Archives with renowned British historian and author William Dalrymple, alongside a high-level working lunch bringing together diplomats, academics, policymakers, and regional experts to reflect on Gaza and Palestine within the broader historical and political transformations shaping the Middle East.
During the visit to the UNRWA Archives, facilitated in cooperation with UNRWA, Dalrymple explored historical records documenting Palestinian displacement, refugee experiences, and collective memory since 1948. Recognized by UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme, the archives underscore the importance of preserving Palestinian history, identity, and the experiences of generations of refugees.

On energy, Britain is an outlier. Virtually none of our neighbours have taken the privatisation experiment as far as us. Many are now reversing course.
@chrismwhayes explains how recent developments show just how anomalous our energy strategy has become.

Basic education piece:
Not all Jewish people are Zionists.
Lots of Zionists aren't Jews.
The Board of Deputies largely self identity as Zionists.
The Media often report the Board of Deputies as the opinion of Jewish people.
Yet many Jewish people say #NotInOurName

Another British Prime Minister bending over backwards to appease a climate denying authoritarian President.
We deserve so much better than this.

This is absolutely insane.
The UK seems to have been involved in the kidnapping of Maduro - and the story spiked by an MOD D-Notice.
The kidnapping was the most brazen act of criminality, and UK involvement would almost certainly have been given with Starmer's sign-off. A wretched, wreck of a PM. An unforgivable assault on international law.
'History' is very rarely unequivocal about this kind of thing, so I doubt that. But maybe one day it will be studied alongside Calvin's Geneva, C16th Spain, post-1979 Iran, Modi's India, etc.

“We need to make the transition as fast as possible, not least because genuinely, the future of our kids depends on this.”
Ellie Chowns makes the case for accelerating the transition to clean, renewable energy following Labour's approval of Jackdaw on #BBCQT.
It was tiktoks like this, from the troops engaged in genocide in Gaza, which made me realise that the co-existence trend within Zionism is dead. The Revisionists are in the driving seat, and there's no prospect of them giving it up while US backing continues.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
I’m so disappointed.
Last year, Andy Burnham stood alongside Massive Attack and called the #FossilFuelTreaty a “lifeline.”
He urged governments to end coal, oil and gas expansion and hold polluters accountable.
Yesterday, his government approved a new North Sea gas field. 🧵

I'm not sure what Miatta's "common sense" approach will look like when we all share this during the next round of wildfires and floods.
Insulate homes. Invest in renewables. Keep fossil fuels in the ground.
A "common sense" approach to climate change & clean energy can fend off challenges from the Greens, energy sec Miatta Fahnbulleh told @politicshome
Zack Polanski said Labour had “abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change" by approving gas drilling at Jackdaw
Good letter. @ShockatAdam are you up for adding your name to it?

Jackdaw offers just 27 jobs, 35 million tonnes of carbon, and no change to energy security or bills.
Greens offer a different vision. Our own homegrown, renewable energy, creating thousands of British jobs and investing in our children's futures.

One of the arguments I make in Abolish Westminster is that we radically underestimate the impact of the House of Lords - and people yearning for peerages - on our wider political debate.

Literally a Year ago @andyburnham sat with @MassiveAttackUK and signed the Fossil Fuel non-proliferation treaty "to end, coal, oil and gas and hold polluters accountable"
Today he has just signed off a brand new Gas-field in the North Sea.
Shameful

Plenty of utter BS from the government and FF supporters being used to justify this monstrous decision
Every tonne of CO2 we don't emit counts - and every tonne we do takes 400,000 years to completely remove from the atmosphere
Politically inept too
