Ploughshares to swords: the story of the German Greens 

A new radical left party emerged in Germany forty years ago, but its story is a warning about the importance of class for Britain’s new left party, argues Robert Dale  When the German Green Party hit the scene in 1980 it was well to the left of the Social Democratic Party.

The Scottish Parliament has passed a motion by the Green Party calling on "the Scottish and UK Governments to immediately impose a package of boycotts, divestment and sanctions targeted at the state of Israel and at companies complicit in its military operations and its occupation of Palestine".
Scottish Labour Party MPs abstained in the vote.

"The recent wave of symbolic recognitions that began in 2024 now appears to be the only step many European powers are willing to take in the face of genocide, following nearly two years of moral, material, and diplomatic support for the Israeli regime as well as near-total impunity."

Why now? What political or strategic interests? https://al-shabaka.org/roundtables/statehood-without-liberation-europes-response-to-genocide/

Yara Hawari: "This kind of recognition is not just ineffective—it is dangerous. It reinforces a narrow partitionist framework that reduces “Palestine” to the West Bank and Gaza and the Palestinian people to less than half of who we are."

Why now? What political or strategic interests are driving this wave of recognition? And what does it mean to recognize a Palestinian state

"The Dutch government has faced mounting pressure from public protests over Israel’s war. Demonstrations in The Hague drew between 100,000 and 150,000 people - the largest in the country in two decades. Protesters demanded sanctions on Israel and humanitarian access for civilians in Gaza."

"Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp, part of a caretaker government, resigned on Friday after a cabinet meeting failed to reach consensus on new sanctions against @israel.
[…]
"Veldkamp, a former ambassador to Israel, [had] called for fresh measures against Israel on Thursday in response to its war on Gaza and its plans for the occupied West Bank."
