“We are one of the countries that wants to increase pressure on Israel, but we have not yet obtained the support of EU members.”

Frederiksen added that she wanted to consider “political pressure, sanctions, whether against settlers, ministers or even Israel as a whole.”
The deadline passed with no pause in the war — the fighting has in fact intensified as #Russia pushes forward with a summer offensive — and no new economic penalties on Russia.
“Instead of getting hit with #sanctions, #Putin got a summit,” said Ryhor Nizhnikau, a Russia expert & senior researcher at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs. “This is a tremendous victory for Putin no matter what the result of the summit.”

But it is more than a photo op. In addition to thawing #Russia’s pariah status in the West, the summit has sowed discord within #NATO — a perennial Russian goal — & postponed #Trump’s threat of tough new #sanctions. Little more than two weeks ago, he vowed that if #Putin did not commit to a cease-fire by last Friday, he would punish Moscow & countries like China & India that help Russia’s war effort by buying its oil gas.

Sorry IDF you can't 'blame malfunction' when dehydrated and starving kids are killed waiting to collect water during a genocide. Water is life, but obviously not for the Knesset and IDF when it comes to Palestine.

Interesting response and analysis of Francesca Albanese regarding profiteering in the siege of Gaza and settlements of Palestinian land, annexed to Israel. She’s been studying this for over 2 years, revealing particular capitalist entities like Maersk. She notes that young activists undertook the research and now established media refuses to acknowledge their authority. 2nd part of interview yet to be recorded and posted.

I know, as #anticapitalist we’re not likely to be the biggest #consumers, and that many of these #companies targeted for #boycott, #divestment, and #sanctions, are not #consumer brands anyway.
