27 Jan is #HolocaustMemorialDay and the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. In this special @BHumanPodcast I discuss with @philippesands how the human rights system was set up to prevent another Holocaust - and why we are at risk of forgetting patreon.com/posts/new-epis…
@BHumanPodcast @philippesands The episode is entitled ‘dying of the light’ as I think that we are at a critical and dangerous stage - where living memory of the Holocaust has almost disappeared and many of the dynamics which led to it are reappearing patreon.com/posts/new-epis…
Thank you to the brilliant Tzedek for hosting the event

This appointment beggars belief on a few different levels.
On one level, I thought that Corbyn et al aren't really into the House of Lords? Shami excepted of course
On another level newstatesman.com/politics/stagg…

Lessons I learned from the battle over the Human Rights Act (thread)

We need to start right now. There are three urgent things.
First, we need to get organised to tell the stories of the thousands of successful Judicial Review cases which have improved the lives of people across the UK.
The stories must be told in a non-legalistic way. They must be easily accessible and available to anyone who wants to find them. This is how I did it for @EachOtherUk with the 50 human rights cases that changed Britain

14. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

#Hypocrites #DoubleStandards #Liars #Warlords #USRealTerrorists
Wrong US policies in the Middle East. Sanctions against Iran. Sanctions used by the USA as a war weapon🤨👇🏼

We've just released the final report by @Alston_UNSR, the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme #poverty, on his visit to the #UK. The report is available here: undocs.org/A/HRC/41/39/Ad…. A few key takeaways:
Some have asked me why a UN expert on #poverty would visit the #UK. Unfortunately, although the UK is the world’s 5th largest economy, 14 million are in poverty, child poverty is rising & predicted to reach 40% by 2021, homelessness is up 60%, and food bank use has skyrocketed.
To understand #poverty in the #UK, you have to look at the massive disinvestment in social support since 2010: the end of a centralized social fund, changes to the ways benefits are capped & calculated that substantially reduce their value, the decimation of civil legal aid, etc.

I refuse to remain silent as religion rips through humanity like a virulent plague. I know it’s awfully rude to question and criticize this very ancient institution, but so what?
Political correctness and the protection of truth and human rights rarely coincide, so I would rather be politically incorrect and compassionate than cowardly and apathetic.
I would rather empathize with the oppressed than pander to the oppressor. I’d prefer to freely express contempt for contemptible cultures and religions than sit safely and silently as women are treated as beasts of burden, as mere chattels to be bartered between barbaric men.

George #Soros: When deportations from Hungary to death camps began to soar during the Holocaust, he was reduced to hiding his Jewish identity to survive.

Translation: He pretended he was a nazi as he shipped his friends & family off to die.

Going to read “The Right Side of History”. This will be some mixture of enlightening, been there done that, and hate-read dunkathon. Let’s see.

No idea what Shapiro’s background is outside trolling libs, but I maybe he’s sort of Straussian? The ‘Jerusalem plus Athens’ thing.
So the thesis is ‘things have never been better, but we’re fucking it up now.’ Pinker + angst.
‘We’ in the book is Americans, natch.
