Oh sure, you wouldn’t pick sides. Your rant is so impartial. And what flag? And talking of the IRA, did Britain bomb Ireland in response to the IRA’s attacks on its mainland? No it didn’t. Now, try actually looking at B’Tselem’s website.

And imagine if the hostages, many held not in tunnels but in Gazan homes, had not been killed in Israel’s vicious bombardment. And imagine if the Palestinian prisoners released by Israel as part of the last deal, weren’t being rearrested.

Oh you want to play that game, do you? OK imagine if Palestinians hadn’t been suffering many years of oppression from apartheid Israel. You don’t know about that? Let Israeli Human Rights organisation educate you. Try actually looking through their archive. www.btselem.org/about_btselem

So do I. Sadly, Netanyahu doesn’t, as most Israelis know.

The tide is turning. The West’s leaders and media are now belatedly expressing their horror at Israel’s brutality, which vastly overshadows Hamas’s. BTW there is no evidence of widespread rape on 7/10/23z

Your heart has not been affected by the many decades of Israel’s unjust oppression of Palestinians? Maybe you don’t know. Well, now you can’t say no-one told you. www.btselem.org/about_btselem

I’m afraid I can’t do that any more than you can. Sadly, Netanyahu is not interested in bringing the hostages home, as most Israelis know. He wants to prolong the genocide on the Palestinians until there are none left. It’s called ethnic cleansing. Why don’t you know this?

Erm … I’m convinced already!

Is Twitter down? Just been over for a quick look and thought my broadband was playing up.

No evidence that Hamas raped anyone. Israel’s Chief Prosecutor couldn’t find a single complaint of rape or sexual abuse arising from Oct 7. Next you’ll be saying they beheaded babies and baked them in ovens!

Victoria Derbyshire in the last hour has posted it here, much later than on X.

Then I can’t help you because I couldn’t find anything like it on BlueSky. That’s my point.

What we want to know is, if they refuse to leave Gaza, what would be the mechanism of forcing them out? Dare I say “cattle trains”?
February 12, 2025 at 12:41 PM
Yes it was heartening. Here is a clip of an interview with one of Trump’s people.

But other than my post, I see little mention of it here, unlike X/Twitter. I hate that cesspit but I do find more news on it. BlueSky will only be as good as we make it.
