The EU needs to take action immediately. Talk is insufficient. The EU project values are in peril. The EU population surely can not accept a man-made famine

This afternoon, a British A400M military plane flew from RAF Akrotiri, UK base on Cyprus, to Tel Aviv

The A400M can carry 116 troops and a 81,600 lbs payload

Ofer Cassif, Jewish member of Israel's parliament, calls for international sanctions against Israel and continues to remind us that those who stay silent are actively deciding to be complicit in the genocide.

84% of Americans want immediate ceasefire.

Only 27% back Netanyahu.

Only 31% of Americans *don’t* believe Israel is committing a genocide.

Israel's endgame is clear: the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip and the expulsion of its population. It is not an immediate goal, and Israel uses different levels of violence depending on the situation. And yet the physical destruction of the Strip leaves no other outcome.

The official death toll in Gaza doesn't include:
- Palestinians whose bodies remain trapped under the rubble.
- Palestinians whose bodies were torn apart by Israel’s bombs.
- Palestinians who could not be brought to a hospital/morgue.

The UN’s satellite centre (Unosat) has published its most recent assessment of damage in Gaza: around 78% of buildings there were damaged or destroyed by Israel by July this year. More than 40% completely destroyed. Here's an example of what that looks like in Abasan al-Kabira in the south.

ITV News film Gaza from an aid drop flight

Emma Murphy, "Building by building, Gaza is being erased"

Since Dec 2023 the UK's RAF has flown 500+ flights over Gaza gathering intelligence, photographing, and filming, they literally have a record of the destruction of Gaza and have said nothing

Two Nice Jewish Boys är en väletablerad och populär engelskspråkig podcast i Israel. Ta en liten stund och lyssna på det här. Det ger en inblick israeliskt samhällsliv men inte minst på vad det är de av våra makthavare som stödjer Israel siktar på för samhällsutveckling.

Last Night in Galway's Westend was absolutely magic as a choir of kayakers floated on the Eglinton Canal, accompanied by live music and choreographed canoeing ✨ 🌊

'Voices on the Water' is part of Westend Theatre & Arts Festival and was dreamt up by the brilliant Tracy Bruen and Galway Kayak Club!

When are we going to have a full public strike in Europe to force our politicians to act over the starvation of Gaza?

I'm surprised we haven't already seen a million+ march in London.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social are going to feel this abdication of moral duty when they face the electorate
