Big players in geopolitics should shun pampering autocrats and invest in people to people connection. Period.

A ship carrying Indian weapons for Israel has been barred from docking in Spain en route to the war zone because Spain does not allow supply of arms if it could be used for genocide. Spain is doing what Modi govt failed to do: Act against genocide. 1/9 thewire.in/diplomacy/spain-d…

The simplest of simple questions: if Israel isn’t committing war crimes or ethnic cleansing in Gaza, what does it have to hide? Why won’t it allow in foreign journalists *six months* on from the start of this offensive?

Foreign Press Association presses again for immediate access to Gaza raising “questions about what Israel does not want international journalists to see”. The US administration has also pressed Netanyahu directly on the issue, still no change.

Biden' Easter statement mentions the wars and conflicts that have killed many innocent lives. Perhaps someone should have reminded him that some of these wars are waged by the US and with US weapons. Unbelievable hypocrisy. No shame

It was tragic that Israeli troops shot and killed three Israeli hostages while they were shirtless, unarmed and waving a white flag. But it would also have been tragic if they had been Palestinian civilians, and then there'd have been no investigation.
