You can lock up as many people as you want for chanting or protesting against genocide.
You will never scrub away the truth about that genocide - or your own complicity in it.
You are just ensuring that you will be damned all the more for what you have done.

Fair play to Gary Neville for putting his head above the parapet, and saying it as it is. Takes proper courage, for someone of his profile to speak out knowing the kickback he’s going to get from the rightwing media, and the bigoted keyboard warriors.

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p data-end="718" data-start="493">Israeli air strikes demolished the Al-Sousi residential tower in Tal al-Hawa, southwest of Gaza City, less than an hour after Israeli forces ordered residents to evacuate.</p>
<p data-end="718" data-start="493">The attack occurred opposite the Unrwa headquarters.</p>
<p data-end="1138" data-start="720">The Israeli army said it targeted the tower because it allegedly contained intelligence equipment and observation points used to monitor troop movements. Israel has regularly claimed that it targets military objectives within civilian infrastructure, but it rarely provides evidence, and its claims are often disproven.</p>
<p data-end="334" data-is-last-node data-is-only-node data-start="267">Gaza’s Government Information Office dismissed the Israeli claims, saying the towers are under surveillance and only civilians are permitted inside. The office said allegations of militant activity are part of a “deception policy” aimed at forcibly displacing residents.</p>

Cutting "red tape" (aka public protections), as Reeves is doing, does not save money. Instead, it transfers costs from the rich to the poor. Other people pay for financial recklessness, filthy rivers, air pollution, lax building standards and consumer rip-offs.
