Today is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. This day was established by the UN as an annual reminder of the continuing denial of Palestinian rights, in the hope that this would galvanise the international community to take action to end the injustice
When the day was established in 1977, there were just over 7000 illegal Israeli settlers occupying the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Now, there are approaching 700,000
@PSCupdates @312shelly3 Injustice will end when the people of Gaza/WB have leadership that's willing to find common ground w/ Israel +is willing to genuinely end the combat relationship. Individually, Arab Palestinians are choosing to refuse to be enemies. @IsraelPalesProj @ElizabethMay @SDG4QEducation
@PSCupdates @corbyn_project On many levels, the UN makes perfect sense ; on one, less so : * As a global body of representatives, it does fine and good things, but * The so-called Security Council, given how both it's constituted [un.org/securitycounci…] and operates, too infrequently works for Peace ?
