The us administration's straight-faced denial that Israel uses US weapons in violation of Int'l Law is bewildering. Unless they think that razing cities to the ground & indiscriminately killing civilians is in line with Int'l Law.

Today I called on the Prime Minister to end sales to Israel.

When you watch the Prime Minister’s answer below, remember this: since 2015 the UK has licensed over £489m worth of arms to Israel.

Indian elections are going on. But unfortunately, climate change is not even a political topic here despite facing the climate crisis daily. Imagine the level of climate education in 1.44 billion population country 🇮🇳! 😳

Thank you University Network for Human Rights for your excellent report: you pay careful attention to detail, and give sources for evidence you analyse.

I hope your report will help CIJ_ICJ to make their judgement on this case.

Future generations will see the ICJ case as a key moment in history.
