The resolution passed today is an appalling and dangerous statement by the Parliament. The text criticises Israel mildly or not at all, obscures context, fails to even call for a ceasefire, and amounts to a green light for Israel to keep going.

Working in the Left group, we tabled numerous amendments to address these problems.

A thread🧵on some of the amendments we tabled or signed with colleagues to today's motion and how MEPs voted on them.

Press statements on the Close GTMO! event held yesterday in the European Parliament. We call on European countries to offer to accept prisoners already cleared for release, but who cannot leave without a safe destination to go to. Help the US #CloseGuantanamo Bay for good. Statement by Mansoor Adayfi, former prisoner in Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

Today is #NakbaDay. 75 years ago a catastrophe was visited on the Palestinian people - the violent beginnings of Israel's occupation. It continues today.

@vonderleyen recently described these events as a "dream." That is unacceptable, and must be condemned. #VonDerLies #Nakba A "tragedy" is a terrible event nobody is really responsible for. It is totally unacceptable for a German politician to use the @EU_Commission to minimise the historic crimes of the Nazi regime as a mere "tragedy," and in the same breath as she downplays the #Nakba. #vonderLies

Two news outlets. Same story. Brussels-based @euobs on the left. Irish public broadcaster @rtenews on the right.

Historic levels of defence spending. RTE zooms in on a detail to report a "slump".

Irish audiences are being woefully misinformed about the militarisation of Europe. @euobs @rtenews Here is the @euobs story - have a read yourself. euobserver.com/world/153736

Citizens protest against Spanish state's imprisonment of a #Catalan rapper @PabloHasel for "crimes of expression" (speech!) that wouldn't bat an eyelid in Ireland. But for the #EU, if it's not happening in #Russia it's not happening. #LlibertatPabloHasel

pscp.tv/w/1MnxnlLAALyGO For comparison, under laws like these you could throw half of Ireland's folk singers in jail for "glorifying terrorism." It would have a massive chilling effect. Even humour wouldn't be safe. Would @Rubberbandits have self-censored their song "Up the Ra"?
