On 23 Dec 2025, #UKgovt lost a huge #Judo contest. #GretaThunberg used the #UKgovt's own power against it.

In July, the UK banned #PalestineAction as "#terrorist". Arrests for supporting PA total ~2,500, mostly older people. #Greta is the latest.

UK public opinion opposes the arrests. But Greta's fame takes the disdain global.

If Greta is convicted, the UK globally looks cruel. If she is acquitted or uncharged, it globally looks weak.

The UK govt has trapped itself, with no way out. #ukpol

The distance between #Dublin and #London is only 464 km (288 miles), #asthecrowflies. The two capital cities are in a Common Travel Area.

But as #GretaThunberg showed today, it's about a million miles in politics.

In Dublin, #PresidentConnolly regards the #genocide in #Gaza as a horror. But in London, the #CityOfLondonPolice treat opposition to genocide as #Terrorism. So #Greta went from a presidential welcome in #Ireland to arrest in #England / #UK.

This photo was taken one year ago — October 23, 2024.

My husband was stopped by the Israeli army near the Indonesian Hospital and used as a human shield for three days during their attack on Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabalia. During that time, he was threatened, beaten, and humiliated.

Today, October 23, 2025, we share this photo not with shame, but with strength.

This is his story — and our pain that became strength.

As displaced Palestinians return to a leveled Gaza amid the Trump administration’s precarious Israel-Hamas “ceasefire,” senators quietly worked through a government shutdown to deliver $914 billion in 2026 military spending.

The budget fulfills a number of expensive surveillance and weapons funding requests from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the powerful pro-Israel lobbying group.
