Letter in today’s Times

If you think calling for the death of soldiers who shoot starving people as they run towards food targets me as a Jew, you really show what you think Jews are and it's not pretty

Silence is not an option.

Bare en liten notis for denne skremmende nyheten, mens en ny investering i ett oljefelt får stort oppslag og positiv vinkling. nrk.no/nyheter/sjoise…

Can you imagine taking away healthcare and food stamps for millions of people to give $18 billion to big oil CEOs? bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Whom is a real person with dreams and feelings that can be hurt, who can feel emotional pain? And who is a revolting pig-person you can hammer the boot into over and over, wreck their lives and careers and send them into obscurity with jeers ringing in their ears? Let’s find out

Nå vanner også EU ut klimapolitikken med falske løsninger og kvotekjøp, takket være lobbyarbeid (også fra Equinor og norske regjeringer som lobbet for gass/karbonfangst), høyrebølgen og at politikere ikke tør utfordre interesser som tjener av klimakrisa. realzeroeurope.org/resources/pres…

Today women MPs wore Suffragette sashes to celebrate Votes for Women–won by civil disobedience & celebrated in Parliament's gift shop. And yet now the government is asking us to vote to proscribe Palestine Action–a modern civil disobedience group–as terrorists

Good sequence of headlines here showing how out of touch British MPs are with basic humanity

Karbonfangst lar politikere late som klimamål nås senere, mens de unngår vanskelige, nødvendige, strukturelle endringer i dag. Norges største utslippskilder, oljeutvinning og transport, berøres ikke av karbonfangst. Vi må prioritere en reell omstilling! dn.no/innlegg/ond-vi…

IOF soldiers are now taking their official photos with their backs turned. Because they know. We know. They will be held accountable. The day of reckoning is coming

Unbelievably grim

Under Gandhi’s statue. For holding placards. A priest, a professor, medics - arrested for peaceful protest. This is not about terrorism. It’s about silencing dissent - and it’s leading us down an ever darkening path.

David Lammy: "We must also praise the courage of ordinary Russians taking to the streets of Moscow, St Petersburg and beyond under the threat of repression to show their opposition to this despot"

Good timing for Donald Trump’s impending visit to Britain, in terms of being able to lift and jail members of the public who have done nothing wrong. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence though

It indicates that some people have *wildly* extreme politics and horrific opinions about the acceptability of employing massive violence against entire civilian populations. Is it the crusties and the protest grandmas, who are saying the same now that they were 20 years ago?

Bruk av gass i en overgangsperiode mellom kull og fornybart, kan føre til større utslipp fordi det tar investeringer bort fra fornybart. Produsentland som Norge bør bidra til å unngå «gassfellen» ved å varsle mindre produksjon, sier Harstad og Holstmark. ft.com/content/e969af…

Did something unusual happen in Britain and America round about 1980 or so

Israeli politicians and public figures have been talking like this for years, decades. This is why all those people came out protesting immediately, without waiting for the real horrors to start: they had been *paying attention*, so they knew exactly what was going to happen.

The Daily Express is the most right-wing mainstream newspaper in Britain. It now has a better position on Gaza than the Labour government.
