TWIP-250517 The UK government has undergone a significant shift in its approach to Israel since the Labour Party took office. Foreign Secretary David Lammy has notably changed policies on arms sales, international law, and humanitarian aid.
One of the most striking moves was the restoration of UK funding to UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, after it had been suspended due to unproven Israeli allegations. Additionally, the UK has dropped its opposition to the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) arrest warrant for Israeli leaders, a decision that has sparked concern among Jewish communal bodies.
While Labour had previously called for transparency on arms sales to Israel, Lammy has yet to publish the legal advice on whether UK arms exports should be suspended. These shifts indicate a departure from the previous Conservative government’s stance, with some seeing it as a move toward greater accountability, while others worry it marks a distancing from Israel as a key ally.
There has been a growing international push to hold Israel accountable for its actions in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) recently issued an advisory opinion stating that Israel's policies in the region violate international law, including findings of apartheid. Additionally, a UN-backed commission has accused Israel of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity during the ongoing conflict.
Public opinion is also shifting, with increased scrutiny from human rights organizations and some governments reconsidering their stance on arms sales and diplomatic support. However, enforcement remains a challenge, as key allies like the United States continue to provide military aid and political backing.
The question now is whether these legal and diplomatic pressures will translate into meaningful consequences.

Cuba's Struggles in 2025. More than "El Bloqueo?"
May 15, 2025, 9:55 p.m.
The Cuban people have been through so much over the last 60 plus years with intense periods of hardship, especially over the last decade. The bulk of this hardship, I suspect, is due to the Blockade.
But there is a disturbing trend developing at least as far back as the Obama administration, that elements of the Cuban society are succumbing to American pressure and are serving roles willingly or not against the very principles of the Revolution. If that is the case, how does the resistance in the streets react to the reality of the enemy within so to speak? And has the Revolutionary fight weakened with the death of the legendary Fidel Castro? That concept will be the subscript to the discussion in a special episode of this program.

WINGS #06-25 Unite to End FGM! (For week of May 19)
May 12, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
FGM stands for female genital mutilation. In Nairobi's Kibera slum, Nabuki, whose name means fatherless child, tells her childhood experience of forced genital cutting and child marriage. Siyama Ismail is a human rights advocate, Nubian Cultural Ambassador, counsellor and social worker born and working in Kibera, who works to eradicate FGM. African Union Youth Envoy Aya Chebbi from Tunisia moderated a panel titled Change Social Norms: Abandon Female Genital Mutilation, at Women Deliver in Vancouver, 2016. As of 2025, the UN Population Fund estimates 27 million girls are still at risk around the world.
Note that the body part clitoris is mentioned. (Not on the FCC forbidden words list but may worry some people.)
