@carlowweather.bsky.social seems to be par for the course now after a storm in Ireland! No idea who owned it, but it's mine now! Not that it's any use anymore!

Israel nearly killed the head of the World Health Organization.

Has any Western government commented on this yet? Can you imagine their response if it was Iran or Russia?

By “extreme anti-Israel policies” they appear to mean:

- supporting Palestinian statehood.
- supporting South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice.

Active here a couple of weeks. One difference here, I'm less afraid of voicing my opinion on things. Example, and maybe this will test it... but I'm Pro-Palestine. I feel safer here re-posting and liking similar views. I know others won't agree, but I feel like there's space for that without abuse.

Today marks 300 days since Israeli forces killed 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her family members, and the medics sent to save her in Gaza.

For months, I have pressed the US government again and again on the killing.

How they’ve responded is shocking.
