A rook waiting for its next meal. Clever and opportunistic birds.
Rooks often get together at dawn and dusk for those great noisy displays.

There’s a lot of evil in the world, but is there anywhere on Earth where it is more concentrated, persistent and malign than in the genocidal coloniser state of Israel?

The Israeli government says the organisations have not met new requirements, which include recognising Israel as a Jewish and democratic state and banning any so-called "de-legitimisation" of Israel.

We are essentially constantly being told by most of the world media that some people (dark, poor) are worth far less than others (western, wealthy).

There's only one word for that.

RACISM.
Ok, 16 innocent people brutally killed in Bondi Beach attack – response is wall-to-wall global news coverage & condemnation.

Meanwhile, 400+ innocent people brutally killed by Israel *since* Oct “ceasefire” – response is near-total silence from world’s media.

Israeli troops kill six Palestinians sheltering in Gaza school, say hospital chiefs
Attack brings total number of Palestinians killed by Israel to 401 since October ceasefire took effect
