Donald Trump must end the separation of migrant families.

Between October 1, 2018, and May 31, 2018, at least 2,700 children  have been split from their parents. 1,995 of them were seperated over, the last six weeks, April 18 to May 31, indicating that at present, an average of 45 children are being taken from their parents each day. Migrants who have been crossing the hot southern desert into the U.S seeking security and safety from gangs and drug cartels. The UN says the use of detention and family seperation runs counter to human rights standards and principles.
This has seen the United States , under an Orwellian  policy of 'zero tolerance' immigrant children being ripped from the arms of their mothers and fathers and placed in detention camps. This is the same country, who has invaded a number of states across the globe in the name of freedom, human rights, democracy and equality, but we are currently seeing the real face of the USA, and with their President warning that migrants will 'infest' America, some are saying Holocaust parallels are impossible to ignore. Currently speaking wikipedia is listing Trump's detention centers as concentration camps.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_concentration_and_internment_camps#Forced_separation_of_immigrant_children
The  heartbreaking sight  of children being held in metal cages, in extreme heat by day, extreme heat at night  is America's shame, what the Trump administration is doing to these families is simply barbaric.Church leaders and figures across the political spectrum have expressed their outrage.This
outcry has increased  after an audio recording  captured distraught  minors, apparently between  four and ten, screaming "Mami" and"Papa" hours after they were removed by their parents.
Parents who have fled trauma and persecution are now having to endure the unfathomable terror of not knowing if they will ever see their children again.
Taking children away from their parents can risk  re-traumatising children who have already sufferred the trauma of violence and persecution in their native countries, as well as the arduous journey to seek safety. The idea that children can be protected by tearing them away from their families is cruel and unnecessary, defying all sense of logic and humanity. None should be treated so cruelly .Punishing people seeking safety and dignity goes against all values of dignity and compassion.
Donald Trump must end this human rights violation now and when he lands in the UK on July 12, we should make sure he is not given any welcome.

POSTSCRIPT :22.30

Bowing to immense pressure. Trump has abruptly reversed  and signed an executive order halting his administration policy of seperating children from their parents when they are detained illegally crossing the U S border. A dramatic turnaround for him, who had been insisting wrongly, that his administration had no choice but to seperate families apprehended  at the border because of federal law and a court decision. In my opinion Trump is still an exceedingly dangerous man, out of control drunk on power.

Refugee Week 2018

This week, from 19-24 June is Refugee Week, in which thousands of people across the country celebrate the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees, promoting understanding of why people see sanctuary. The UN has announced today that more people are fleeing conflict and persecution than any time in the past 70 years. The UK government can and must do more to help.By signing the following petition, this one simple act will hopefully bring us one step closer to changing the unjust rules that keep many families apart.https://www.amnesty.org.uk/actions/home-secretary-reunite-refugee-families?from=issue&utm_campaign=MEMA1714_ACT_REFU_FamilyReunion_ActionTakers&utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Campaigns&utm_content=1744
The following is a letter that I wrote to my local paper, the Tivy-Side Advertiser to mark Refugee Week..

FOUNDED in 1998, Refugee Week Wales is a week long cultural, artistic and educational celebration of the contributions made by talented asylum seekers and refugees who arrive in Wales.
Refugee Week takes place from June 17-24 and Cardigan and North Pembrokeshire Amnesty International group always marks the week.
Wales has a proud history of welcoming refugees from all over the world. Refugees are forced to leave their country in order  to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster often with no warning and cannot return to their country unless the situation improves. This is different to economic migrants.
Refugee Week Wales is an opportunity to promote this message across Wales.

After the Hatstands ( Forever we will dance)

In the morning, days lay ahead
in the middle just a dot,
as sky above, slowly awakes
releasing heat, to cloy the senses ,
into this world of daily prescription
a shot of benevolance, beyond the dark,
on spinning floors, laboriously gathered
we are one, a stream of togetherness,
taking deep breaths, we sail again
holding on to memories, sliding down,
we inhale the smell of one another
the sweet anesthetic of friendship,
carried by rhythmic vibrations
from our cages, we free ourselves,
beyond drifting world of chaos
float peacefully towards tomorrow,
among tinctured cadences and
                            patterned threads
find fulfillment in music and magic,
fuse our movements, blend emotions
release our breathe, redistribute passion
as fragments drift into twilight
forever we will dance

Guantanamo 6,000 days,

This Friday, June 15, Guantanamo Bay prison will have been open for 6,000 days. A depressing milestone  that marks 6,000 days of torture, abuse and indefinite detention without charge. It is a cruel reminder of just how long this injustice has gone on.
 Via the Close Guantanamo  campaign, there has been a photo campaign all year involving the Gitmo Clock, which counts, in real time, how long Guantanamo has been open, and urges Donald Trump to close it.People have been taking photos with posters every 25 days showing how long the prison has been open.
Join us in telling Donald Trump, "Not one day more!"
Print off a poster, take a photo, with it and send it to info@closeguantanamo.org, or just gisplay the poster on a tablet and have your photo taken with it - or even on your phone!

Most of the men held at Guantanamo over the last 6,000 days (16 years, five months and four days) have been held without charge or trial, in defiance of international laws and treaties governing the treatment of prisoners, There are only two acceptable ways to deprive an individual of their liberty- either as a criminal suspect to be tried in a federal court or as a prisoner of war, held unmolested until the end of hostilities. The men at Guantanamo are neither. Instead, after 9/11, the Bush administration concieved of a novel category of prisoner - one without any rights whatsoever - and implemented this at Guantanamo. Although the prisoners have fought to secure rights, being granted constitutionally guaranteed habeas corpus rights by the Supreme Court in June 2008, those rights were eviscerated by a number of appeals court decisions between 2009 and 2011, effectively gutting habeas corpus of all meaning for the Guantánamo prisoners. The unacceptable reality of Guantánamo now is that the men still held can only be freed at the whim of the president, and the president has no intention of releasing anyone.

Donald Trump inherited 41 prisoners from Barack Obama, but he has only released one man, a Saudi repatriated to ongoing imprisonment as part of a plea deal he agreed in the military commission trial system in 2014. Of the 40 men still held, only nine are facing, or have faced trials. Five were approved for release by high-level government review processes under President Obama, but are still held, while the other 26, accurately described as “forever prisoners” by the media, are held indefinitely without charge or trial, regarded as posing an ongoing threat to the U.S., even though the U.S. apparently lacks the evidence to put them on trial.
Every day that Guantanamo remains open is a black mark against America's notion of itself as a nation founded on the rule of law, which respect the rule of law. Andy Worthington, the co-founder of the Close Guantanamo campaign,https://www.closeguantanamo.org/ said "6,000 days is far longer than the two world wars combined. It is outrageous that the U.S Government continues to perptuate the  myth of an endless war, as a supposed justification for holding prisoners indefinitely without charge or trial, when this is, in fact, a policy for which there is no justification whatsoever."
Helen Schietinger of Witness Against Torture http://www.witnessagainsttorture.com/ said "it
 is significant, and not accidental, that all the men who have been imprisoned at Guantanamo are Muslim. How many holy months of Ramadan have they missed during these 6,000 days? How many more must they endure, never being allowed visits by their families?"
The fight against Guantanamo is proving to be a long one, but wont stop until Guantanamo is closed for good.

Grenfell Tower Fire: One Year On

It really is hard to believe that it has already been a year since the Grenfell Tower fire which shocked the nation and devastated a community, when  72 people tragically lost their lives on 14 June, 2017, when flames engulfed the 23-storey building in the worst fire to hit Great Britain since the Second World War, no one deserved or were supposed to die like this.
The chaos and confusion that ensued in the following days added further injury and insult to the hundreds of people immediately impacted by the fire and the wider community. Their anger and frustration were matched by their incredible kindness and generosity, as the people of North Kensington came together in a way that had not been seen in this country for decades.It also saw the UK unite in solidarity with the victims  and their families, against  the reckless incompetence that ultimately led to the fire. The incompetence, coming from both the government and property developers, that included the failure to take seriously the many complaints made by Grenfell residents regarding the lack of fire safety, as well as the failure to replace the extremely combustible cladding with fire-resistant cladding, which would have prevented the fire spreading at such a rapid pace, which would have cost only £293,000 to install, resulted in human beings meeting their deaths in the most horrific of way.
The legacy of Grenfell is clear, and of course we must remember each and every soul that tragically perished in such a preventable disaster, The Guardian recently published a piece on the " Lives of Grenfell Tower " https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-interactive/2018/may/14/lives-of-grenfell-tower-victims-fire  in which mini obituaries written by the friends and family of the victims, were published as tributes to those who lost their lives.We must also remember that Grenfell Tower - a social housing enclave nestled in  one of the most expensive neighboorhoods in the world was mainly occupied by immigrants,people of colour and low-income families, and that the tragedy clearly demonstrated that their lives mattered significantly less, than those of their white, wealthy counterparts.
Time is supposed to heal wounds, but for many Grenfell survivors and victims relatives, the anniversary is a reminder of just how little has been put right over the past year.Sadly not much has changed since the tragedy, Nobody responsible has yet to be charged or arrested, and the consequent investigation into the tragedy, has not urged the government to ban combustible cladding, despite calls from campaign groups, across the country to to do so. 300 tower blocks across the country are still covered in the same dangerous cladding used on Grenfell Tower and building and fire safety regulations are still not fit for purpose
The lack of response is simply a disgrace, but the campaigns of the victims families provide hope for a future with better oversight and more safety, and as the public inquiry continues there are still so many questions to be answered in the fight for justice.
Theresa May  has admitted her failure to meet Grenfell residents in the immediate aftermath of the disaster made it appear she "did not care". The Prime Minister said she will "always regret" failing to go to the tower on the day after the tragedy, saying that her actions were "not good enough" Writing in the Evening Standard May said: "The day after the disaster I made the first of a number of trips to the site, thanking the firefighters for their work and holding a short meeting with the team in charge of the response."What I did not do on that first visit was meet the residents and survivors who had escaped the blaze."But the residents of Grenfell Tower needed to know that those in power recognised and understood their despair. And I will always regret that by not meeting them that day, it seemed as though I didn't care. "That was never the case."
Many people though believe her apology is simply to little and far too late, and are asking that if she cares so much, why are survivors still waiting  to be rehoused in permanent accomodation? Housing Secretary James Brokenshire has admitted that 43 families are still living in hotels, one year on. Speaking in the House of Commons on Monday, he said 203 households needed new homes in the aftermath of the tower block fire, saying that of these, 198 have accepted permanent or temporary accomodation and 134 have now moved in. But he added he was "very concerned" about the 23 households who are living in hotels one year after the event.
"My ministerial team has met with many of them and I've  personally written to all of them, to find out what barriers exist in each individual case and how we can overcome them, he told MPs.
He also reiterated the Governments commitment to ban the use of combustible materials on the external walls of high-rise tower blocks, subject to a consultation, that will be published next week.Adding that the Government has "made it clear" that it espects private building owners not to pass the costs of removing dangerous cladding on to leaseholders.
"The private sector must step up and I am not ruling anything out if they do not." he told MPs.
Responding to the Housing Secretary's statement, Labour's Shadow Housing Secretary John Healey said the "time for warm words is long past".
"Grenfell residents feel that they were failed before the fire, and many feel failed since," said Mr Healey. "They were promised permanent new homes within a year, but only 82 of the 209 households are in permanent new homes. On the wider Grenfell estate, only 39 of 127 are in permanent new homes."
Mr Healey also pressed the Housing Secretary on whether the Government set for all survivors to be permanently rehoused.
"Without a deadline, more words of regret will simply ring hollow to the still homeless residents of Grenfell Tower." he added.
Grenfell Tower now stands in Kensington as a relic, covered in scaffolding and white sheets like a bandage over broken bones. On it is a banner featuring the green Grenfell heart and the words "Grenfell forever in our hearts" emblazoned across the four highest floors.
Justice for Grenfell https://justice4grenfell.org/ is a community led organisation set up in the days following the fire, focused on obtaining justice for the bereaved families, survivors, evacuated residents and the wider local community. Where the authorities failed survivors, Justice for Grenfell stepped in, when the media and politicians went silent, Justice for Grenfell shouted louder.
On 14th June, alongside other activist groups,  Justice for Grenfell will mark 12 months since the tragedy with the 12th Grenfell Silent Walk https://www.facebook.com/events/174975633343497/.The walks are a monthly opportunity for the community to remember, mourn and pay tribute to those affected. On Saturday 16th June you can join them outside Downing Street at 12 pm to march for justice for Grenfell.
Today communities across the country will also fall silent for one minute at 12 pm to remember the victims and those affected by the inferno. In solidarity with the survivors and those whose lives were affected, residents, families, neighbours, emergency services, in what must still be an incredibly painful time.

Victims of the fire

300 prominent global figures accuse Israel of committing ‘war crimes’

Israel's forcible transfer of thousands of Palestinians has been denounced as a war crime by over 300 elected officials, legal scholars, academics artists, faith leaders and activists from around the world.
The universal show of solidarity to the Palestinians was published in an open letter which voiced strong opposition to Israel's plans to forcibly  transfer thousands of Palestinians living in farming shepherding communities in the West Bank.
Signatories include 80 members of parliament, many of whom are from the EU and UK parliaments.
Other notable signatories include ten Israel Prize  laureates, film director.Ken Loach, artists Al Weiwi, author Alice Walker, academic Noam Chomsky and several musicians. Dozens of Rabbis have also signed the letter denouncing Israel for what many would describe as ethnic cleansing.
Forcible transfer - by direct physical force or by creating a coercive environment that makes residents leave their homes - is a war crime the letter states.
Mentioning, in particular, residents facing expulsion from three areas, the Jordan valley, the South Hebron Hills and East Jerusalem, the letter says that Israel " aims to establish facts on the ground that would achieve exclusive de-facto Israel control in those area and eventually facilitate formal annextation"
"Israel's plans "the letter point out, range from freezing Palestinian development, through minimising Palestinian foothold in major parts of the West Bank, to the destruction  and transfer of entire communities " The plans, they add are being implemented through "coercive measures" which are listed as not being allowed to build new private or public buildings, denied access to water grids or to pave access roads, demolitions, threats and confiscation of essential equipment.
After denouncing Israel for committing "war crimes" the letter says "all people responsible for ir - including Israel prime minister and the minister of defence - bear personal responsibility.".
They also accuse Israel's high court of "rubber stamping" the criminal policies of the Israeli government. "All it does is also implicate Israel's High Court Justices in what is nothing short of a war crime, no matter how much legal formalism is enlisted in an effort to exercise the inexcusable." the letter concludes.
BDS until justice is done.

Noam Chomsky - Best Speech In 2018

Here Noam Chomsky who has dedicated his life to tackling very serious word issues, talks about  the major threats to the human race and other important issues of today. Though he talks eloquently, the stakes at moment are very high, words matter, but we as people must act.

Anthony Bourdain , Renegade Chef Who Reported From the World’s Tables, Is Dead at 61 .

Anthony Bourdain, the gifted chef, storyteller and writer who took TV' viewers around the world to explore culture, cuisine and the human condition for nearly two decades, has died. He was 61.
CNN confirmed his death on Friday and said the cause of his death was suicide.
Bourdain had been working  in France on an upcoming episode of his award winning CNN series, "Parts Unknown."
Born on June 25, 1957, in New York City, the son of a Colombia music executive and a New York staff editor, his love affair with food began during a family vacation to France, when he tried his first oyster on a fisherman's boat. Years later Bourdain dropped out of Vassan College and enrolled in the Culnirary Institure of America, graduating in 1978. In the following decades, he would run a number of popular kitchens in New York City.
In his twenties, Bourdain became addicted to drugs. " I was a complete a-hole. Selfish, larcerious, druggy, loud, stupid, insensitive and someone you would not want to have known. I would have robbed your medicine cabinet had I been invited into your house," he said during a conversation in 2013. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/197ji0/i_am_anthony_bourdain_ask_me_anything/?sort=confidence Calling himself a very unusual case," Bourdain added, "Most people who kick heroin and cocaine have to give up on everything. Maybe cause my experience was so awful in the end, I've never been tempted to relapse," Bourdain also suffered financial hardships for most of his life. He told Wealth Simple in 2017 https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-us/magazine/money-diary-anthony-bourdain "I don't want to sound like I'm bragging about this, but the sad fact is, until 44 years of age, I never had any savings account," !I'd always been under the gun. I'd always owed money. I'd always been selfish and completely irresponsible," Weed " was a major expense," he added, costing him a few hundred dollars a week. Looking back, the fact that I'd been smoking weed since I was 14 might have had something to do with my relative lack of ambition,"
Bourdain gained notoriety in 1999 after published a New Yorker article, "Don't Eat Before Reading This." It  became a best-selling book in 2000 Kitchen Confidential :Adventures in the Culnirary Underbelly, leading to shows on Food Network, Travel Channel and eventually CNN.Adventurous and outspoken this led to  him gaining a legion of fans and admirers through his numerous books and essays as well as his many television appearances.
The celebrated author and chef was married twice in his lifetime, first to Nancy Putkoski. then to Ottavia  Busia, who he had a daughter with in 2007. Bourdain is survived by his girlfriend, the Italian actor Asia Argento ,
Recently he had emerged as a leading male voice in support of the 'Me Too movement in the wake of rape and abuse allegations against the film producer Harvey Weinstein, notably in support of his girlfriend.
For anyone who watched his show, Parts Unknown, what was clear that as well as travelling the world sampling cuisine, most importantly he actually spoke to citizens of each country, about culture, their innovations and their lives,  bringing a unique perspective on the food and political climates of Laos, Africa, the occupied Gaza Strip, and other distant cultures that are rarely depicted on major television networks. After tweeting a photo of dead children  on a Gaza beach in 2014 an receiving a flood of "ugly racist shit and accusations" in response Bourdain wrote "The willingness of people not to see what is plainly apparent, right there, enormous and frankly hideous. Unfortunately, we live in a world where its nearly impossible to even describe reality much less deal with it, It's utterly heartbreaking." When he visited Palestine a few years ago he did something unprecedented for American TV viewers, he portrayed Palestinians as human beings, https://www.972mag.com/celebrity-chef-humanizes-palestinians-on-trip-to-the-holy-land/
He tried to highlight marginalised voices and called the powerful to account for their hypocrisy. He was capable of highlighting peoples struggles, their triumphs, and in places like Iran, discussed their oppression, especially the journalists who were jailed for speaking out and the minority classes who struggled to survive. He would speak to people like President Obama  and unknown residents of faw away countries who are trying to just get by day by day, in an equal manner. He made the world smaller, He dived in, hungry to experience. His wasn't the Orientalist gaze. He saw humanity (and food) everywhere, and connected with it.His show was part history lesson, part cooking show, part comedy, and part political commentary. He was brash, hilarious, a fearless renegade, who did not suffer fools, reaching out to the voiceless, reasons why he is bound to be missed by millions across the globe.
I don't know what was going through Anthony Bourdain's mind when he took his own life, but I've experienced depression, beyond sadness, a numbness, a sense that all value in the world was being quashed, feelings of utter hopelessness and despair.
If you or anyone you know are struggling, please seek help. Do not ignore the warning signs. Make yourself a safe person. Do not be afraid to ask if someone you love is thinking of suicide. Everyone struggling matters. You matter. Everybody hurts. To get help call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline in your country.
Rest in peace - Anthony Bourdain

Morrissey :Big Mouth strikes again

Confession. I used to love Morrissey, in my teens, and up to recently I used to sport  cardigans untl the moths had them. Still have loads of Smiths singles, L.P's, and even some of his solo stuff.
I've always been aware he's been a rather contentious sod, that was his beauty I guess, one who was never shy of expressing his opinions ,from  his loathing of Margaret Thatcher, the Royal Family, his passionate devotion to animal rights, which marked him out as  him as an outsider, but recently  this expats opinions really have been getting beyond the pale.
His recent outbursts have seen him swapping Thatcher baiting for muslim baiting and can  be viewed at his his own blog  https://www.morrisseycentral.com/ where he tells us Hitler was left-wing. halal meat is certified by Isis,a process which he describes as "evil" and which should be banned. He  also calls for the outlawing of jewish kosher meat preparation. which he says is "very cruel."A message from the Nazi BNP and EDL in Britain to Marine Le Pen's Front National in France issues that have acted as dog whistles for their Nazi followers.
He has also recently  rounded on Sadiq Khan, the Asian Mayor of London, accusing him of being in charade of a "debased" city and claiming he "cannot talk properly" And that the black woman shadow home secretary, who has been the subject of outrageous racist abuse, that reached a peak during last years election campaign, is dismissed with a sneer that "even Tesco wouldn't employ Dianne Abbot, and  that  the acid attacks in London are and are ' are all non-white, and even tells us we should all vote for Britain,https://www.forbritain.uk/ a party founded by far right ex UKIP leadership candidate Anne Marie Waters, who Morrissey thinks believes in "British heritage" and "freedom of speech" and that she "wants everyone in the UK to live under the same law"- as if something like ' British heritage' is a fixed, inherent truth rather than totally nebulous and subjective concept, or that the UK's laws don't reflect the ideological prejudices of the ruling class, who design and enforce them. Even Nigel Farage, branded Morrissey's fave party as a bunch of Nazis and racists."
Now this master of melancholy, has caused outrage online again for voicing his support for Stephen Yaxley -Lennon, or Tommy Robinson, his nom de Nazi, https://teifidancer-teifidancer.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-trouble-with-tommy-robinson.html who is currently in prison for seriously jeapordising a trial that should see child rapists and torturers rightfully punished, who through his actions put the victims at risk. Morrisey descibed the jailing of this right wing thug as "shocking" saying jailing him for breaking contempt laws by filming outside a court was an example of how Britain;s biggest political parties are against freedom of expression'
"It's very obvious that Labour or the Tories do not believe in free speech, " he said "I mean look at the shocking treatment of Tommy Robinson."
In the interest of free speech, it's worth noting that its simply tiresome that Morrissey continually uses the vaque notion of free thinking to voice support for individuals and parties deny the freedom and humanity of others, sich as For Britain's manifesto proposal for a ban on burqas. Morrissey has frequently denied that he is a racist, recently publishing an essay with the words " I despise racism" and I despise fascism. ".https://www.morrisseycentral.com/messagesfrommorrissey/i-ve-been-dreaming-of-a-time-when-the-english-are-sick-to-death-of-labour-and-tories.
Then again, anyone can say they're not something, its another thing for their actions to demonstrate this. Heaven knows I'm miserable now, the light has truly gone out, a voice I once  loved really seems to have gone full gammon. As one twitter user  remarked "It's so sad that someone with the talent and legacy of Morrissey can only reclain a desperate piece of monetry attantion by saying redundant, needlessly provocative things. He thinks he's the unshaken voice of the streets, but he hasn't lived on them for decades. " Now a mere mouthpiece for racism, I only only wish now his bigmouth would shut up.I was once the kind of fan who could remember an old Morrissey B-side, called "Get off the stage2, which evoked a singer who had outived his welome and turned into an embarrassment :"Oh, you silly man/ You silly old man/ You're making a fool of yourself' So get off the stage", I never thought the day would come that I wished Morrissey would heed his own advice. But sadly that day has come. Viva diversity, viva tolerance but goodbye to hate.

Murder most foul - No Israeli war criminal here, free Palestine.

"Murder most foul. But this most foul, strange and unnatural  Shakespeare Hamlet, act 1 , scene 5)
The Ghost Speaking to Hamlet says that murder is always horrible, but this killing was especially monstrous.
Between 30 March 2018 and 21 May 2018 - just over 7 weeks, 112 Palestinians were killed of whom 13 were under 18, and 12,190 injured. The injured included 7,618 struck. by live ammunition or rubber bullets, including 2,096 children and 1,029 women injured.
223 medics injured by either live fire or tear-gas suffocation, 37 ambulances partly damaged. and there have been 32 amputations.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Gaza_border_protests
At the same time at least 55 journalists covering ongoing protests on the Gaza Strip have been wounded by Israeli soldiers.https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/israel-injures-55-journalists-covering-gaza-protests/1164511
The world cries out in outrage as the wholesale slaughter of the Palestinian people. Not one Israeli has died.I would urge all concerned people to pray for Palestine, to support BDS and call for  their political leaders to confront this dreadful catastrophe in the name of peace and justice.At least due to political pressure Argentina have cancelled their world cup warm up game against Israel this coming  Saturday.
Today Wednesday 6 June, Benjamin Netanyahu  is meeting with Theresa May, how do  you greet the head of a government that occupies a people and deprives them of their basic rights, shoots them when they protest and calls the killing of a 21 year old medic "standard operating procedure " Our prime minister is welcoming the man who presides over Israel's occupation and its siege of Gaza,while her Government continues to arms his state.
We should be calling on her to instead impose immediate sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel until it complies with international law, ends its blockade and the occupation, and should give him the welcome he deserves, join the emergency protest  opposite No 10 Downing Street. No Israeli war criminal here, free Palestine.
