Meanwhile, Israel continues to restrict the entry of tents, tarps and blankets into Gaza despite cold temperatures and heavy rain. The winter weather has been blamed for more than a dozen deaths, including at least three children who froze to death.

Four senior former British Army officers urged Keir Starmer to impose a full arms embargo on Israel, citing Gaza violations and warning against “business as usual.” They also oppose UK military ties as a £2bn training deal with Elbit Systems is considered.

In Gaza, displacement is enforced by siege; in the West Bank, by demolition and land theft, both carried out by the same malevolent power. In each case, only Palestinians pay the price under the so-called “peace.”

The campaign group Defend Our Juries said Thunberg's arrest could signal "a new level of repression", questioning whether police had misapplied the ban on Palestine Action or whether expressions of support for detained activists were now being treated as terrorism offences.

Is there no limit to the evil of the Israeli government and the IDF
The WHO has warned more than 100,000 Palestinian children and 37,000 PBWs — that’s pregnant and breastfeeding women — are projected to suffer acute malnutrition through April of next year. Meanwhile, Israel continues near-daily violations of the ceasefire.

Reform UK have repeatedly said that Kent is their "flagship" council and "the shop window" for how they intend to run things.
When they are exposed as planning to slash social care for old people, in order to hire their cronies as advisors at £150k a pop, I think people should believe them. ~AA

It is concerning to hear two Palestine Action hunger strikers have been taken to hospital.
The Government must intervene immediately to uphold their human rights and ensure they are treated with dignity.

This was a Reform UK campaign image from the local elections, criticising councils for increasing council tax, and cutting services.
Guess what?
Reform UK are:
⬆️ Raising Council Tax (up to 10% in one case)
⬇️ Cutting Services

It's worth taking the time to read the story of this little girl's life
Adelaide Springett was so ashamed of her tattered boots, she took them off for this 1901 photograph.
She was 8 years old and recorded as lodging with her mother at the Salvation Army Shelter in Hanbury St.

Nothing suggests systemic pro-Zionist bias in the British media more than the bizarre lack of reporting on the Palestine Action hunger strikes.
