"Back in 2021, Israel was one of the only two countries among all UN members that voted against a resolution reaffirming the right to food as a fundamental human right — a motion that passed with 186 votes in favour.
The US was the only country to side with Israel in opposing the access to food as the “fundamental right of everyone to be free from hunger”"
You'd almost think that Israel and US are both fascist inhumane colonial powers.

Today in Labor History May 31, 1838: Kentish peasants clashed with British troops in the Battle of Bosendon Wood. Sir William Courtenay led the uprising. Courtenay had previously run for public office and spent time in a lunatic asylum. He built up a large local following in the previous four years with his millenarian preaching and demonstrations against the New Poor Law of 1834. On May 29, 1838, he led a march through town, with a loaf of bread on a pole (a local symbol of protest). They continued protesting for the next two days, alarming the town’s wealthy elites. When the authorities tried to arrest Courtenay, he shot and killed a constable. The authorities quickly mustered a small army. Courtenay had a gun and a sword, but his followers had only sticks. Courtenay managed to kill a Lieutenant in the ensuing battle, but was promptly killed by other soldiers, who also killed eight of his followers.

#UN says 100% of Gaza population are facing #starvation and a great number is suffering from malnutrition, especially #children. Since March, when the Israeli occupation initiated the war again and broke the ceasefire, no food or aid was allowed into the Gaza Strip.

Despite international aid organizations' attempts to pressure #Israel into allowing them to operate normally and deliver #food to everyone, the army continues to target international and aid workers and blocks the aid trucks' entry.

The #Gaza Strip is a coastal enclave that used to depend on farming, animal rearing, and fishing. If the Israeli army stops its constant attacks against these sectors, the people can start working again and feed themselves.

Today in Labor History May 28, 1797: French authorities executed proto-anarchist revolutionary Gracchus Babeuf. Babeuf formed a secret society during the time of the French Revolution, known as the Conspiracy of the Equals, that plotted to overthrow the revolutionary government, and replace it with one that was truer to Jacobin ideals. The group included Sylvain Maréchal, Jacques Roux, Jean Varlet and others. Specifically, they called for a society with absolute equality, through the collectivization of all lands and the means of production, and putting an end to all poverty, at least for citizens of France. They also called for the abolition of private property and equal access to food, demands that resonated heavily among the impoverished French population, who were suffering from hunger during the economic crisis that followed the Revolution. However, their manifesto did not include the enslaved people living in French colonies. By early April, 1796, half a million Parisians were in need of relief. And people began singing Babeuf’s song, Mourant de faim, mourant de froid ("Dying of Hunger, Dying of Cold"), in the cafés.

Throughout his life, Babeuf advocated for the poor and for the abolition of private property. He said "Society must be made to operate in such a way that it eradicates once and for all the desire of a man to become richer, or wiser, or more powerful than others."

Nearly half a million people in Gaza are facing starvation amidst living in the rubble with continual attacks. There's been no proper food supplies as well as water & sanitation for months.

Don't look away. Keep pushing for sanctions on Israel

Western governments have enabled this. Many have finally woken up, but it's too little & v late.

Shame on you David Lammy, Keir Starmer, @EUCommission , Ursula von der Leyen

Wenn #Israel den #Krieg mit #Hunger und #Bomben fortsetzt, dann kann, dann muss auch die #Bundesregierung eindeutig reagieren. Also keine #Waffenlieferungen mehr, kein privilegierter Handel mit der #EU, Anerkennung #Palästina s. Damit würde man der demokratischen Opposition in #Israel signalisieren: Wir unterstützen euch.
