Matt Frei, "Israel's isolation on the world stage is growing, fuelling internal dissent against PM Netanyahu's plan to step up the war in Gaza and reoccupy the entire strip, already reduced to a smouldering wasteland" #C4News

Oh and didn't we sing that awesome song "C'est La Vie" hoping to win 12 points from Israel at the #Eurovision #Genosinging?

Oh and didn't we race the Tour The France with #TeamIsrael #Genocycling?

Even "my own" Netherlands is kindly asking Israel to mass murder innocent Palestinian people in a more humane way ...

Of course you are never too unkind towards your big business partner, who knows too many details about your involvement in the genocide and other human rights violations.

In the UK, as wel as in the USA, the FPTP system serves the ruling mafia (no "Elite" pls). All people can vote for is change or not. In a democracy politicians represent the diversity of opinions and negotiate the details of change with a clear mandate.

At best you'll get another family of mafiosi.

Nationalisation 'll be a massive waste, as long as this archaic pseudo-democracy is in place. The system will return power to the other group of ruling mafiosi one day, using "the people want change", and then another privatisation wave is obvious. It is a never ending story unless we reboot the UK.

Renationalising is going to be the biggest waste of tax money ever. And it's only a matter of time in the UK for the Tory mafia to return and repeat their tricks.

Better go after the mismanagement in these companies and the white collar thieves stealing from the hard working people.

Please, ask this question to a Trump voter if you know one:

"What has he done with your vote?"

The answers might go into my new song.

Trump and Biden support the genocide.

Think about that.

The USA is no democracy.

Imagine growing up in Israel ...

It needs courage, being young, to face the world around you. Of course most people (Jewish or not) don't want their government to engage in injustice against anyone, let alone such massive injustice we see today.

There is no excuse for genocide.

Could it be that Maxwell made a deal for the better prison conditions she recently received? Of course she is the one who knows most. It all smells.

They have already caused that I no longer support the State of Israel. I don't recognize a country that doesn't respect international humanitarian law.

Their leaders destroyed Israel's credits. Give the land to the people that believe in peace, humanity and justice and call it New Palestine.

The Hague is one big farce as well. It lost all credibility staying in Israel's most befriended nation, The Netherlands, now engaged in sadistic food droppings about Gaza, while shamelessly funding and supporting the genocide and echoing IDF propaganda.

Bye Bye Winston Klezmer style song by Simon Oak about the ongoing injustice being done to the Palestinians by Israel and the international community, largely initiated by the famous Winston Churchill, whose mistak…

If you search on "Simon Oak Winston Churchill" you won't find my song, so here it is. I wrote it in 2019 after another monument raised for him in Israel. Let's face it: 1948 was the start of the Palestinian genocide.

Respect for fellow human beings is no longer a US feature. How many voted for this Nazi? And what was their alternative if they didn't like Genocide Joe Biden?

The USA needs a revolution to become a democracy.

Israël staat voedseldroppings toe boven Gaza, eerder bleken die geen oplossing Jordanië zou mogelijk later vandaag al een eerste dropping uitvoeren. Het Israëlische leger zou de operatie coördineren.

It's sad to find all these beautiful alternatives for Air B&B dead. Have we all gone blind and sold ourselves to US Big Tech? I am not blaming Brian Chesky for anything, just all Irish B&B owners for failing to support independent initiatives like bnbowners.com You are begging to be exploited.

That I refuse to believe. Many people care, but feel without influence (which is a mistake). Too many good people around. But what's the use of being virtuous when you stay silent at injustice? Massive protests do help sometimes. But often it's not enough. Sadly tougher actions make you a terrorist.
