Israeli quadcopters shooting children.

And our government continues to materially supporting Israel every day.

Even as Israel rejects a two state solution, votes to fully annex the West Bank, and murders more doctors, nurses, journalists, children.

And our government continues to assist it.

Let that sink in

"Despite its extreme population density, Gaza was mostly self-sufficient in vegetables and poultry, and met much of the population’s demand for olives, fruit and milk. But last month the UN reported that just 1.5% of its agricultural land now remains both accessible and undamaged."

R.I.P.

SHAME on European governments!

Night thought: I really don’t understand how they never banned the use of two hands as soon as people started striking the backhand in that fashion.

3rd deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean.

As with the others:
-in area US military operates freely
-where arrest has relatively low risk, and greater strategic value
-no US legal rationale, or even attempt to offer one
-blatant violation of international law
-no evidence US knew who they hit

Opinion: Slaughtered journalists, medics and starving children will not sway public opinion here in Israel Views of the public are partly shaped by members of the media here who call for the killing of Palestinian journalists in Gaza

“No one has been to account – and no one will be – because the destruction of Gaza is Israeli policy, because Israeli public opinion supports it and because the world allows it”:

www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

If you have a decent platform and decide to just “stick to your job” or express some form of solidarity for certain causes, and YET you stay completely SILENT on #Palestine, trust me: it DOES NOT look good at all…

Now… that’s cheating!

UN-backed experts declare famine in and around Gaza City IPC says famine is ‘entirely man-made’ and immediate response is needed or avoidable deaths will soar

Absolutely astonishing. The morally bankrupt folks at @theguardian.com STILL cannot bring themselves to condemn Israel’s responsibility for this horror.
Shame on you!
So many in media will NEVER be able to clean their stained conscience.

A leaked Israeli intelligence report says the vast majority of Palestinians slaughtered by Israel in Gaza are civilians

And of course if Israels own figures estimate that 83% of those killed are civilians, the actual figure will be even higher #GMB

The BBC hides truth about Israel's genocide - again The BBC keeps failing to report Israel's actually stated genocidal intent

Once again, the BBC has suppressed the truth about Israel's genocide.

Where Is the Political Leadership Against This Violent Far-Right Movement Terrorising Britain? The silence of senior mainstream politicians and media organisations against the rise of a new well-organised far-right movement on Britain's streets is a disgrace, argues Adam Bienkov

So a multiply convicted criminal, arrested recently on suspicion of assault, is using social media to terrorise innocent families in alliance with the racist far right. Another summer when British politicians and our mainstream media capitulate to organised thuggery
