Israel starts a war with Iran by bombing their nuclear power plants in breach of international law. Trump does the same. These are illegal acts of aggression. Iran was at the negotiating table. Israel sabotaged the talks. Netanyahu does not want peace. The genocide in Gaza continues. What a world.

Pope Francis rest in eternal peace. A moral and truthful man. Canโ€™t think of any other world leader as sincere and one who personified Goodness. Entreating us all to treat others as we would wish to be treated ourselves. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Guardian headline which reads:

Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN
Workers on a mission to help colleagues were buried in mass grave in southern Gaza, says humanitarian office

Guardian headline which reads: Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN Workers on a mission to help colleagues were buried in mass grave in southern Gaza, says humanitarian office

Five ambulances, a fire truck and a UN vehicle were struck one by one.

The bodies of the first responders were then ditched in a mass grave.

A war crime. Without anything close to the appropriate level of global outrage.

Israel is a pariah state. Trump allegedly so keen to end wars, how about cutting off aid and arms to these occupying colonial land grabbers?

โ€œIf you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.โ€

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Feels a bit like Jan 6, except this time without the naรฏve belief that everyone would abandon Trump once his depravity became undeniable.

Time to boycott Amazon, Meta, Twitter now known as X, AI, Israel and its goods, USA and its trade, the arms military industrial complex, the othering of minoritised groups and to exercise the power of critical thinking. Wake up people.

What is the difference then between Trump and Putin? Bullying would be superpower taking other peopleโ€™s land? I see no distinction.

Nazi salutes in week one.
State-sanctioned ethnic cleansing in week four.
But all the scumbag apologists who dared to talk about โ€˜over-reactionโ€™ are still too bent and/or invested to row back.

Labour defence secretary caught at arms industry gala John Healey thought he was privately his speech to criticise student campus protests over arms trade involvement in their universities. Wrong.

Defence Secretary Healey, who said
โ€œWe donโ€™t stop wars by boycotting our defence industry. We stop wars by backing itโ€
is either a fool
or an arms industry shareholder

Quite a moment.

Jim Acosta announces live on air that he is leaving CNN. Then he ends with this final message:

โ€œIt is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant. Donโ€™t give in to the lies. Donโ€™t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth.โ€

Day one. The aged orange oaf and fellow nazi saluting narcissist are just as terrible as we all feared. God save us from America and its new crazed policies.

No. That was an act of terrorism
against one young woman. By your own definition not genocide.

You raised the whataboutary of another genocide. Not me. It is irrelevant that the Israeli regime is Jewish. Itโ€™s their leadershipโ€™s actions which have resulted in arrest warrants being issued. Letโ€™s not have the antisemitism trope again. Thatโ€™s worn out.

16.01.2025 10:47 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

No. Itโ€™s because of the extreme rhetoric expressing ideas that Palestinian lives donโ€™t matter. And the extreme videos posted by deranged IDF soldiers carrying out acts of barbarity like sniper shooting civilians rescuing children etc.

Because there have been other Genocides eg Rwanda does not mean this is not one.

Because schools, hospitals, universities, mosques, communities. Infrastructure, historical buildings ,a way of life have all been destroyed. Children, women and innocents killed. The Israeli openly states it wants to expand Israel and this land is theirs. Wiping out a group of Palestinian people.

So Israel has finally decided to agree but not yet to stop murdering innocent children and Gaza citizens. BBC allows genocide denier to repeat the same lies for a lengthy interview/rant unchallenged. Absolutely disgraceful. Arrests to follow I hope. โ€œCeasefireโ€ applies to a war. Not Genocide.

Not the result we were looking for Fulham. We were responsible for four of the goals sadly only two were for us. An aberration. ๐Ÿ˜โšฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜. We go again.

Just goes to show how Capitalism works, in the USA you can't get Health Insurance if you are actually sick, and in Los Angeles you can't get Fire Insurance if your house will burn down.

Capitalism literally only works for the billionaires, everyone else works for them.

From inside an obliterated Gaza, gunfire not a ceasefire In north Gaza the IDF is now facing โ€œa bitter guerrilla warโ€

"Yoav Gallant ... has admitted in private that the IDF no longer has a military purpose in Gaza."

As I've mentioned a few times now, in that context, I don't see how the law of proportionality can apply to the kinds of strikes Israel is conducting now, if it ever did.
