In this article I suggest 10 things UK, alone or with partners, could do to help the Palestinians if our Govt truly cared. All drawn from previous examples of humanitarian intervention. Western failure to do more to protect Palestinians is a choice, and a massive moral failure.

🇦🇺🇮🇹 He is Joe Burns. Former Test Cricketer of Australia . After his brother's death, he decided to play for Italy to honor their family's root. He had only one goal, to make Italy qualify for the T20 World Cup. Today, he has done that as captain. What a story.
This is amazing. China on track to be the world's first clean energy superpower. Literally. Meaning it will generate surplus clean electricity, creating a bold new possibility space that has never existed before. This is a massive inflection point.
China is building a stunning 74% of all current solar + wind, will achieve energy over-abundance in about 5 years China held superpower status for 1,600 of the past 2,200 years. Achieving energy super-abundance first = leapfrogging any other superpower globalenergymonitor.org/report/chinas-…

Magnificent book.
I have been asked whether my book “The Struggle Continues” is still available. It is - you can purchase it in paperback in South Africa as @JacanaMedia did a 4th print last year. It is also still available instantly on @amazon @AmazonKindle .
Such a powerful, truthful and terrifying piece from Nick Cohen. Should be widely read and pondered.
Something macabre is stirring in the British right. Driven mad by the failure of Brexit and Truss, it is doubling down on fanaticism. Piece from me open.substack.com/pub/nickcohen/…
Former British ambassador explains how Britain can stop the carnage in Gaza:
Here is the list 1. Protect Palestinians from Israeli missiles, as we protected Israel from Iranian missiles 2. Offer to escort aid into Gaza, as John Major did, with armed escorts of aid to Bosnia 3. End arms sales, or insist on tougher conditions, such as more aid into Gaza🧵
