A war crime by Israel. Another. How many?
βBarely an hour before US-backed Israeli forces killed Al-Sharif, he had warned on Twitter, βIf this madness doesnβt end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its peopleβs voices silenced, their faces erased β β¦
Wrong, tragic on too many levels to list here. A few seconds to pause, consider the implications of this on-going genocidal onslaught against Palestinians is all it takes. A few more seconds will lead you to the need to implacably oppose the murderous, appalling Zionist destruction Netanyahu brings.

I see some Representatives, some Senators trying this approach. I hope it takes hold. Education is precious and needs to become a personal passion.
Freireβs antidote β fostering critical consciousness through genuine dialogue and collective problem-solving β is a reminder that resisting authoritarian or manipulative politics is less about memorising facts...

In the US under Trump, politics often takes the form of one-way messaging and polarising narratives that replace dialogue with loyalty tests, making it harder for citizens to question power or see common cause across divisions.

"Paulo Freireβs Pedagogy of the Oppressed warns that when people are treated as passive recipients of information rather than active thinkers, they can be persuaded to defend the very systems that keep them down.

Looked up Freire for a friend the other day in the context of the Trump regime. Chat GPT5. Quite useful I thought. Actually totally on point and a great focus. Sharing for more thinking!

βAll the young people whoβve witnessed historyβs first live-streamed genocide are going to be running the world someday, and they are not going to want to have anything to do with the state of Israel.β
A future hope? Good. Right now genocide is being live streamed
"I hate all genocide supporters equally, regardless of their religion. Telling me your religion is like telling me about your dreams: [...] If you support an active genocide youβre a bad person who deserves to be shunned and reviled, regardless of what your religion happens to be."

Who is surprised? Itβs disgusting, yet. But pretty all to do with this kind of society-degrading capitalism is. More surprising and disgusting is that itβs Labou doing it, pretending there is no other way. There is. And the new socialist party will, I hope, propose it. And win. Labour had a chance.

I didnβt storm the Capitol. I didnβt attack police officers. And I sure as hell didnβt vote for the guy who pardoned them. I stood for law and order, respect for our police, and democracy itself. Too bad half the country canβt say the same.

Pete is trying to make a difference. The effects of Trumpβs monstrous actions will devastate the US for years. Cleaning up his mess will cost billions. But he has made money on it all. His mates too can live anywhere on earth or maybe in space. They donβt care.

Seems Gibb is indeed so positioned that his bias is distorting BBC output on Palestine and is pro-Israel. Thatβs a no from me.
