The #EU is Israel's largest trading partner, accounting for 30% of its trade in goods. The EU-ISR economic agreement stipulates 'respect for human rights' (art 2).
The #ICJ's recognition of the risk of Genocide obliges the EU to suspend the agreement.

This is what ethnic cleansing looks like, and every single leader who defended or enabled it should be in jail.

My husband, Ruben Vardanyan, the philanthropist, businessman, and former Minister of State of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) was arrested and detained by the Azerbaijani authorities at the border this morning as he tried to leave with thousands of Armenians.
Ruben has stood with the Arsakh people during the 10-month blockade and has suffered with them in their struggle for survival.
I ask for your prayers and support for my husband's safe release.

We have a corrupt Russian-financed government giving oligarchs time to sell up while refusing asylum to Ukrainian refugees. It is beyond sickening, beyond enraging. The combination of greed, callousness, incompetence & daylight larceny has gone way too far. They must go.
This isn’t The Thick of It. This is real. This really is Raab saying, “Do you know whether the crowd has thinned out yet because of the terrorist attack? It was extraordinary that they all stayed.” To which Boris echoes, “Amazing, amazing, yes.” WTF.

I just re-watched 5 Broken Cameras. If you haven’t watched it, please do. It gives context and clarity to the ‘complex’ Israeli-Palestinian ‘conflict’. If you can’t afford to watch it, DM me and I will cover the cost. @burnat_emad

#OnThisDay 1981: A toddler with an ear for identifying classical composers appeared on That's Life. This is very sweet.
