Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza. It couldn’t have done it without the west's help | Owen Jones The current hand-wringing by Keir Starmer and other western politicians is empty bluster. They knew what was happening all along, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza.

It said it was starving Gaza over and over again.

It has done so systematically - with the full complicity of the West.

My column on a crime committed in plain sight 👇

Great minds 😂🤣😂
Another good reason if one is needed to ❤️ the Lionessess www.instagram.com/reel/DK99YzP...

Israel is “plausibly” committing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, as determined by the International Court of Justice.

ZARA has chosen to fashion-wash genocide & apartheid.

The fast fashion outlet is also devastating the planet. Boycott ZARA until it ends its criminal complicity.

Victoria Starmer is going to need a long hot shower today after being slimed on by Trump 🤢

If you want something done .

Believe it Michelle 😀

Alex de Waal has worked on humanitarian causes across the globe for over 40 years.

“There is no case, over those four decades, of such minutely engineered, closely monitored, precisely designed mass starvation of a population as is happening in Gaza today.”

Israel is deliberately preventing birth and survival for Palestinians in Gaza.

This is part of their genocidal strategy.

RAIN!-just stood out in it bc HEAVENLY but also to sniff that delicious scent from the parched ground-petrichor.
The scent of petrichor consists of geosmin, a molecule released by bacteria & blue-green algae in the soil &plant oils (phytoncides) released when rain hits leaves.
Human noses can... (🧵)

Canterbury turned out this evening to support peaceful protestor Laura Murton who on Monday armed with a 🇵🇸. & a ‘Free Palestine’ sign was threatened by armed police with arrest for, ahem, raising their suspicions .

Armed police threatened to arrest Kent protester for holding Palestinian flag Officers accused Laura Murton who also had a sign saying ‘Free Gaza’ of supporting a proscribed organisation

The actual state of our country 🤬
Is this limited to Kent or a government directive to all forces?
I’m waiting to hear back from Kent Police.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking the Dept. of Education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

It's fascism.
