This is just heart breaking......civilians killed while they sleep
"We picked up a leg here, a hand here. We took out the bodies of three children yesterday. We found a dead older couple, both of them in wheelchairs," said Jaafar, an 18-year-old rescuer. "It was the worst scene yet."

Donald Trump has appointed multiple pro-Israel fanatics to his administration.
Biden already facilitated Israel's genocide from day one.

Donald Trump's fanatical pro-Israeli appointments should terrify you
Some were beguiled by the idea that Donald Trump is a peace candidate - but his appointments underline a commitment to escalate Israel's genocidal onslaught.

Why has this taken so long? How many thousands of people have died because of these delays? And why does the British government still insist on supporting Israel and supplying weapons; enabling it in its crimes against humanity?

Just the type of questions I wanted to ask, well done Jeremy Corbyn et al! But why aren't more people, our journalists other MPs asking these questions. Why is this government so dismissive of the man made catatrophy that is Gaza? Lammy and Stamer are both lawyers yet still support Israel. WHY?

Of course.....the West's enabling of Israel and their denial of a genocide taking place could only lead to more discrimination against Arabs and Muslims everywhere .

Israel destroyed 83% of plant life in Gaza by June this year.
It destroyed 70% of its agricultural land.
It damaged or destroyed 65% of water tanks and 47% of groundwater wells.
Israel has deliberately tried to make Gaza uninhabitable. This is genocide.

So yesterday my nephew, his wife and their 4 month old baby were refused entry to Egypt the reason being they were under 50 and needed some type of letter from Lebanon. What new rediculousness is this?... Turned away by an Arab state probably because of an American directive!

Words of the great Gassan Kanafani .....assassinated with a bomb placed under his car by Israel in Beirut 1973 just because of his words.....who would have thought back then that the injustices faced by Palestinians would worsen to this extreme? 😢
When the Palestinian discovers that we are fighting a great enemy that we cannot defeat in a few years, that our war is long term & that we will be defeated repeatedly, then their loyalty to the Palestinian revolution will not be as fragile and emotional as it is now.

The incredible thing about the rise of reactionary politics is it's never the fault of those who have a privileged access to shaping public discourse and influencing politics (media, politicians, academics etc)
Instead, those at the bottom are to blame (the poor, minorities at the sharp end etc)

Clear evidence of the hoodwinking of the masses by government and the elite. They are scapegoating the most vulnerable to avoid taking responsibility for their own failings and greed.
In the late 90s & early 2000s we in the UK received (very roughly) 80,000 asylum applications per year.
Mainly people escaping Balkan wars.
Today in these “unprecedented” times of “invasion” by small boat… we receive pretty much the exact same numbers.
Had you been taken in?
I wouldn’t blame you.
