If you read, and retweet, one post on Gaza this weekend let it be this

Today four activists face terror-related sentences for taking direct action against an Elbit Systems weapons factory in Filton, Bristol - a factory that makes drones sent to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel to kill Palestinians in Gaza. Back in April, I warned in Parliament that jurors would not be told terrorism sentences could follow a criminal damage conviction. No terrorism charges were ever brought. The proscription against Palestine Action has since been ruled unlawful. The defendants were even prevented from telling the jury they acted to stop genocide. This is a Labour government defending Israeli death factories and stripping away all of our fundamental rights. Everyone who cares about our democracy should be outraged.

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

The resignations of Healey and Carns show the military elite and arms manufacturers are getting ready for a fight Arms spending is the issue of our age. The entire anti-war and trade union movement is needed to demand an end to war-mongering and war-driven austerity! #All2London20June

'Arms spending is the issue of the age. The entire anti-war and trade union movement needs to demand an end to the war-mongering and war-driven austerity. We need wages not weapons, welfare not warfare, and we need to organise to get it now.' stopwar.org.uk/article/heale…

On May 24, 10 of our Land Convoy volunteers were abducted by Libyan forces as they neared Sirte to negotiate safe passage of humanitarian aid into Gaza—exactly as previously agreed. Now, after almost three weeks of being illegally held without charge, sources say their detention in Libya has been extended for the second time. This is an outrage. And governments must respond. Pressure officials to act NOW to secure the safe release of these citizens of Spain, Poland, the United States, Argentina, Uruguay, Portugal, Tunisia, and Italy.

We’re told there’s not enough money to support disabled people, build social housing or fund the NHS. But somehow there are billions for weapons and illegal wars. Join us on the 20 June for the International Conference Against War! Tickets here: tickettailor.com/events/stop…

How about we owe them not to die in a trench in a foreign country, in a war with no end, and to no end?

UK defence secretary John Healey has resigned after criticising the prime minister for not committing to more spending on war and weapons. The question now for Healey is why he didn’t resign over his involvement in the Gaza genocide: youtube.com/watch?v=EheodB0m…

John Healey’s replacement as defence secretary is Dan Jarvis, who was listed as a friend of Israel before LFI removed this webpage.

Aren’t you supposed to be running this country @Keir_Starmer

The celebrities published an open letter calling on Judge Jeremy Johnson to drop the use of a “terrorism connection” in the sentencing of the activists set to take place on Friday. Sentencing with a terrorism connection could mean the defendants face aggravated sentences. Most of them have already served 18 months on remand middleeasteye.pulse.ly/z0fvc…

Protesters gathered in Downing Street to demonstrate against Israeli military action in Lebanon and Gaza, as the war with Iran escalated over the weekend. Despite a US-announced ceasefire in Lebanon, Israeli bombardment has continued. Israeli officials have called for a further escalation of attacks and an increase in the defence budget during the latest security cabinet meeting. Israeli minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf called on Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to “open his pockets” for the military and its artillery
