The UN General Assembly has just voted to describe the transatlantic slave trade as ‘the gravest crime against humanity’.
Three countries voted against, and 52 abstained. My video is on what these votes illustrate, in case we forgot.
The ones voting against were the U.S., Israel, and Argentina. In the 52 abstentions, we find the U.K. and all 27 EU member states.
In short, we shouldn’t be surprised. There’s nothing surprising in seeing those who can’t condemn the mass murder of brown children now choosing not to condemn the harm of unseen magnitude that was unleashed onto black people in the past (an injustice that’s nowhere near being undone). And it’s not just the ex-colonisers; it’s the whole EU.
We shouldn’t be surprised – but we should be enraged. We should be able to see who the ones in power are and what kind of mentality we’re up against.

A Must-Watch Interview on Palestinian Armed Resistance and Israel’s Iron Dome
This interview is an absolute must: Jeremy Scahill talks to Senator Ro Khanna about the U.S.’s continuous support for Israel and whether Palestinians, too, have the right to armed resistance. It reveals so much of what we have been seeing: one’s unwillingness to bring full accountability to the Israeli regime.
On Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya And The BBC’s Irresistible Desire to Quote Israel
We’ve had enough of the propaganda of the occupier being repeated by the legacy media. And when it still gives airtime to unsubstantiated claims by the Israeli government regarding Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya even as his life is at risk, we should be enraged.
How to Make (No) Sense of The New Lebanese Agreement with Israel
As the Lebanese government signs an agreement with Israel, seemingly disregarding the leverage Iran is currently granting them, what does this all mean? What does it mean for Hezbollah, Lebanese resistance, and the future of the country itself?
