«¿Es a Dios o es a los seres humanos a quienes les gusta el olor a sangre? Estas preguntas circulaban en A Casa mientras José #Saramago escribía el libro y contemplaba el espectáculo del mundo y de la historia y meneaba la cabeza en señal de incomprensión». Pilar del Río

“Four days after Russia started a war in Ukraine, FIFA and UEFA suspended Russia. We are now 716 days into a genocide – and yet Israel continue to be allowed to participate. Why, why is it double standards? FIFA and UEFA must suspend Israel.” - Eric Cantona

Sanctions on illegal settlements are welcome, but not enough. Britain must end all arms sales, all military cooperation, and all forms of support that sustain Israel’s system of apartheid, occupation and genocide.

British diplomats have privately told US counterparts that the new sanctions on Israeli settlements "are largely symbolic and will have no material impact on the UK's wider relationship with Israel", according to Bloomberg.

Every Friday, this Jewish teenager stands outside a mosque in Paterson, New Jersey, distributing cards in support of Palestine and emphasizing that Z!on!sm does not represent Judaism. His weekly gesture has become a visible expression of solidarity with Palestinians and a firm rejection of the crimes committed against them by 'Israel' in the name of Judaism.

FLÁVIO BOLSONARO É UM COVARDE! Assim como todos os políticos que são contra o fim da escala 6x1 e o direito do povo ao descanso, Flávio se esconde nos bastidores e não coloca a cara no sol pra dizer quem é e o que quer: o esgotamento físico e mental dos trabalhadores em troca do lucro dos patrões e de uma vitória política dele e de seus aliados. Mas, com a união da classe trabalhadora, o futuro de todo explorador é ser derrotado. Semana que vem, a nossa proposta pelo FIM dessa escala desumana avançará no Senado!

This is Netanyahu, the man you see before you: He has killed 120,000 Palestinians and starved 2 million people. He has killed 10,000 Lebanese and displaced 2 million Shiites. He has killed 5,000 Iranians, imposed a blockade on an entire country, and contributed to the suffering and starvation of an entire population. He has also supported and funded terrorist organizations and contributed to the killing of 26,000 Iraqis. He has killed 25,000 innocent children who had no power to defend themselves. Despite all these crimes, he has not been labeled a terrorist. No one has held him accountable or openly accused him. No one has told him: You are responsible for the destruction of the Middle East. No one has told him: You are responsible for the devastation and fragmentation of Arab countries. America is a source of terrorism, destruction, and bloodshed around the world.

This was the most interesting part of Carney's appearance this morning. Asked what changes the Americans made that were unacceptable, he gave a clear and direct answer with concrete examples. This was not a deal any PM should have signed with those auto tariffs on trucks.
