World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza. Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians. Stop arming genocide, now.

Israel allowed 9 trucks of aid into Gaza yesterday Tess Ingram from UNICEF: "A drop in the ocean... we have an ocean of need. We have 2m people who've endured 3mths of being deprived of all of the basics that they need to survive... a handful of trucks is not enough"

There is a shocking (but not shocking) story in Haaretz about the Romanian election... As you are aware, the Israeli government tries to smear everyone who opposes their genocide as "anti-semitic". Meanwhile, however, they work hand-in-hand with actual anti-semites to try and further their agenda.🧵

American policitians: Murdering journalists & medics is ok. Raping people to death is ok. Bombing hospitals is ok. Blowing up universities is ok. Burning people alive in tents is ok. Killing 60,000+ people is ok. But openly starving 2m people to death makes us look bad so stop it

Nicusor Dan won because he persuaded young people to vote. He didn't ignore them, he talked to them. He didn't chase the right wing vote, he just talked about positive things, why the EU is a benefit, what Romania could be. He used facts.

Also of some note that Nicusor Dan didn’t tack to the right between the rounds and didn’t dance to Simion’s tune. Not all mainstream parties supported him and not all strategists were happy with him, but Romanians voted for him over the radical right today.

Incidentally, knowing and loving the city, I can say that Nicușor Dan has done a brilliant job as mayor of Bucharest. If he can carry that on to the national stage then his election would be excellent news for Romania in its own right, quite apart from keeping out that ignorant fascist thug Simion.

HAI, HAI, HAI, this is basically top of my expectations. AGAIN, health warnings: pro-Simion error in first round, exit polls do not count diaspora who are a significant portion of the vote, but hey 10 points is not to be sniffed at.

In short, Starmer has taken a massive hit among Labour voters, for no gain elsewhere, while boosting Farage's popularity, including doubling his ceiling among Labour voters. I.e., the political scientists were right, Morgan McSweeney was horrendously wrong.

No one who cares about wildlife and ecosystems is now likely to vote Labour in 2029. Or about Gaza. Or poverty. Or inequality. Or international aid. Or corporate power. Or democratic reform. Or racism. Or trans rights. So that's goodbye to just about its entire vote. What are they playing at?

The latest news from Romania's election: George Simion has at some point appeared on a flat earther podcast and told us that scientists should tell us conclusively if the Earth is flat or round because apparently this is something they've been unclear on. This man is likely to be President.

It is frightening how much support there is for extremism in Romania. It is true that half a country chose not to vote, but to have ~40% of vote in the 1st round of presidential elections for a protofascist supported by a fascist is extremely problematic. Sunday is the 2nd round and stress is ⬆️.

So, for those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need? Will you act now – decisively – to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law? This Council must prevail. Demand this ends.
