Israel got away with targeting #healthcare in #Gaza It’s no surprise it is doing it in #Lebanon too
When will @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu and especially @Bundesregierung@social.bund.de speak out and stop supporting this insanity? #Complicit #BDSIsrael
Once again #Israel is breaking a #ceasefire once again targeting #hospitals , once again using callous #doublestrikes

Ancient heritage sites across #Iran damaged by #US - #Israel bombing
“ #Isfahan is not an ordinary city, it’s a museum without a roof. [...] In none of the previous eras, not in the Afghan wars, not in the Moghul conquest, not even during the ‘sacred defence’ [the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war] was this ever done,” the governor said.
Will @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @Bundesregierung@social.bund.de have the guts to stand up to #Trump and #Netanyahu ?
What we've been watching this week is not a #fuelprotest. It is a #blockade
"A protest persuades [...] A blockade puts a small mobilised minority in a logistics chokepoint and squeezes until the rest of the country is forced to negotiate at gunpoint with whoever happens to be holding the chokepoint that morning. One is democratic. The other is the precise opposite of democratic, it is the substitution of leverage for argument"

Demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement in view of Israel’s violations of human rights
Over 300,000 signatures in just 5 days - we need 1 million to compel the #EU to reassess the agreement with #Israel
#EuropeanCitizenInitiative #HumanRights #Justice @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu
WHEN will @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @Bundesregierung@social.bund.de
stop pandering to the #US and #Israel ?
* Stop ignoring the blatant violations of international law
* Stop aiding the US army in demolishing and destabilising other countries
*Follow #Spain 's example and withdraw access to European military bases and airspace
*End Europe's #complicity now!
#Monbiot on the imminent danger of a collapse of the global food system:
#Policy "across most of the world appears to consist of allowing “the market” (namely a few huge global corporations) to decide what happens next. There’s another way of putting it. Our governments are leaving a group of ruthless speculators to play dice with our lives"

#US and #Israel army planes shown to pass military installations (their supposed target) and instead focus on bombing urban police stations. Their aim: to destroy #Iran 's social and economic infrastructure, and cause destabilisation across the entire region
How long are @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu and @Bundesregierung@social.bund.de going to turn a blind eye to those violations of #InternationalLaw ?
Stop #EU #complicity now!
The histories of #enslavement, #displacement and organised #theft are foundational to the modern world - the #UNdeclaration "calls on all nations to recognise what happened, teach its history honestly, and remember the victims"
How utterly disturbing that @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @Bundesregierung@social.bund.de refused to do so... #Europe continuing on its exploitative trajectory, no lessons learned 😭

Beef and lamb get 580 times more in #EU subsidies than #legumes, study finds
“It’s scandalous that billions of euros of EU taxpayer money is being used to prop up such a high-emissions industry at a time when scientists are telling us that we need – on health and environmental grounds – to shift to lower-meat diets,”

#GDP can be misleading when it comes to assessing #poverty. This research uses
"“Average poverty” which is defined as the average time needed to earn $1. The measure is inclusive, distribution-sensitive, decomposable, and aligns with how both experts and the public conceptualise poverty"
Unlike in Europe, average poverty has increased in the US, because average #inequality grew faster than average income

#EU #population to fall by 12% by 2100
“While all EU countries have low fertility, countries with sustained #immigration can still grow despite low fertility beyond 2050 (e.g. Luxembourg and Malta), while countries with low fertility and weaker #migration inflows or negative net migration balance tend to decline (e.g., Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland),”
