Disappearing people, disappearing morals – how two years has changed Gaza and Israel | Orly Noy There can be no healing until the world stares into and acknowledges the void torn open by this conflict, says Israeli journalist Orly Noy

"It feels as if everything has vanished. Not only the tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza erased without graves, without records, as if they had never existed – so many other things have been hollowed out: basic conceptions of morality, decency, compassion, humanity, hope, future."

This is grim & dangerous over reach.

This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.

Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

Our horror at the genocide in Gaza, at the mass murder of civilians on Oct 7 2023, and at today's atrocity in Manchester, comes in each case from the same, inherent part of our shared humanity. We need to assert that shared humanity as loudly as possible, and in as many practical ways as we can.

literally no correlation here except to massage the notion that the cause of palestinian liberation is antisemitic and to manufacture consent for genocide from jews (which, itself, places jews in harm’s way).

Photo with Keir Starmer and copy that reads: RECOGNITION OF A PALESTINIAN STATE IS A HOLLOW GESTURE WITHOUT MEANINGFUL ACTION TO END ISRAEL'S GENOCIDE, APARTHEID & OCCUPATION

Recognition is no doubt significant but it will be a hollow gesture if the UK does not also seek to end Israel's genocide, illegal occupation, and system of apartheid against the Palestinian people.

"There is no excuse for what’s happening in Gaza. This tragedy must end now, immediately and decisively. Every political hesitation, every attempt at justification of the horrors being committed under international watch, will forever be judged as a collective failure to preserve humanity in war.”

Gaza | The scale of human suffering and the stripping of human dignity have long exceeded every acceptable standard, both legal and moral.

This tragedy must end now.
