What the war in Iran and disrupting shipping in the Street of Hormuz, even if only for a few days, means for global economy and food supply—oil prices might not even be the first thing to worry about: nazem.substack.com/p/the-underw...
A very good piece on why the left can't jettison the concept of international law altogether, despite its limitations and structural arrangement which at times has repeatedly legitmized colonialism and might-makes-right.
If I was named CEO of Bluesky part of my growth strategy would be not to ban accounts with IP addresses from Gaza, in general work on diversifying my user base, globalise and make everyone feel welcome by actually banning racists. But I’m just a little user.

Anyway, I don't think virtue signalling matters that much in international relations but actions and diplomatic pressure by governments of states like UK and Germany does, as they host US military bases and sell arms to Israel.
Yes, also read my post again and think about who I was referring to. Now you almost come across as someone defending attacks on hospitals, which I'm sure wasn't your intention.
I don't know, does it? I think hospital shouldn't be bombed anywhere.
Now that I have listened to it twice let me recommend this podcast series by @thedigradio.bsky.social on the history of modern Iran, super insightful and can’t be shared enough👇

This International Women's Day, I want to talk about one of the strongest women I know. Over the past year, Samaa has survived and protected her family against seemingly insurmountable odds. You can help her at chuffed.org/project/157569 @mommunism.bsky.social @merryrobin.bsky.social #SkyHelp #Gaza
Surely the people of Iran now are going to rally behind the son of some former monarch who wants this war.
This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.
It’s already happening. Iran attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain.
This war has to end immediately. If it turns into a water war we will be dealing with a whole different level of a humanitarian catastrophe across the region.

The people of Gaza continue to struggle for basic sustenance, particularly now that Israel has once again restricted the flow of aid during its attack on Iran. The Gaza Soup Kitchen is still doing all it can to feed and provide medical support to as many people a day as possible. Please help them.

The situation in the UK reminds me so much of Germany under Scholz, just that the role the Greens have in the UK is taken by Die Linke in Germany (apart from the weird silence on Palestine). Hope the UK Greens won't fail as soon as Die Linke.
I never thought leopards would eat MY face!
The ones who kept quiet when they did this in Gaza will keep quiet when they do it in Iran and Lebanon, and no one will take them seriously the next the Russian military bombs a hospital in Ukraine.

This is a pivotal intervention that should also be widely read in Germany.
WHO (Weltgesundheitsbehörde) Direktor Ghebreyesus hat heute in Genf bekanntgegeben, dass sie bisher 13 US-israelische Luftangriffe auf Gesundheitseinrichtungen im Iran und einen solchen Angriff auf eine Einrichtung im Libanon bestätigen können. Kriegsverbrechen.
