Having trouble fitting Poppy duty into your busy Parliamentary schedule? Don't worry, just take one of these Early-Bird Remembrancing Paper Crosses and stick it into some nearby grass. Don't forget your photographer!
Don't miss out, they're selling like hot cakes! #UKPolitics#CeasefireNow
I need to verify this : Israeli military interviewed by channel 12 news claim that Israel attacked, bombed and shot at their own civilians on October 8th.
The news also claims that the family used by IDF and Netanyahu as the proof of barbaric act of Hamas during their attacks were killed by an Israeli tanks shell.
I can't find any western media covering the story but inside Israel, the story is gaining momentum and people are realizing that the official story of what happened on October 7 and 8th is from from the official story pushed world wide #Netanyahu and his blind supporters in the west.
Those calling for #ceasefirenow are obviously ignoring the fact that #Hamas doesn't want a real cease fire.
There WAS a cease fire on October 6.
Hamas could end this war immediately by surrending and releasing all remaining hostages.
Hamas is NOT a "resistance". They are not freedom fighters.
They are a blood-thirsty, warmongering organization with only 1 objective: to destroy Israel.
Hamas kills #Palestinians who resist their oppression.
If you don't condemn Hamas and call for their immediate unconditional surrender, not only are you supporting a continued war, you are supporting #terrorism and #genocide
Refusal to place the blame for #Gaza's thousands of deaths on Hamas is compliance with Hamas' strategy and support for their war.
The [US] State Department recently approved the transfer of 1,800 MK-84 2,000lb (907kg) bombs to Israel, with the decision reportedly coming on the day of the WCK strike [sic]."
The Guardian: "Biden calls for ‘immediate ceasefire’ in Gaza."
So, numerous Israeli families went to the ICJ against Hamas, because they are understandably going through hell with their family members being held captive. Nothing wrong with that. I get it and agree.
I just want you to remember that I call it now, the ICJ will rule against Hamas in no-time, whilst also stalling with providing the Palestinians with any real resolution.
Imagine being a medic.
Imagine being a photographer.
Imagine being a parent.
Imagine being a child.
And imagine your home got bombed, after you were told to move there to "be safe". Your child gets hurt, and you end up in a hospital that doesn't have any beds, any equipment, any pain killers, not even disinfectant.
You have to hold your child screaming while the doctors performing an operation on her, the pain is so overwhelming that you have to pin down the child with all your weight.
Just close your eyes and put yourself in their position.
As a father, I can't imagine such horror. Glad I never did.
Now imagine doctors, medics and photographers having to witness and perform these operations over and over again.
And we, the people with high morals, watching it happen. It's not like the words of witnesses that Israel and their whole multi billion dollar paid propagandists repeatedly calling them for "Pollywood", to make you have doubt about what you just watched and simply move on and ignore it.
There is absolutely no need to prevent painkillers getting into Gaza.
There is absolutely no need for the world to ignore the suffering of innocent children.
And there is no way those doctors, medics and photographers to stop doing what they possibly can to help the victims of Israeli bombings.
But we don't care.
We just move on with our lives not even thinking about those little ones who later die of the shock because their tiny hearts can't handle the unimaginable stress during the bombings and the horror of ab operation.
And by then, she become a number. One of 13400+ that the civilized world has chosen to ignore.
I am not sharing the video, I simply can't. Even the image is from another victim because I'm writing this with tearsein my eyes. I hate the world we live in, the politics, the religion, the money and anything that is justifying the ongoing slaughter of the innocent little angles who had the who life ahead them.
CNN speaks to settlers in Israel who are blocking food from getting to Palestinians in Gaza. Even confronted with the fact that children are starving to death in Gaza, they say "not one loaf of bread should get in until we have our hostages"
Little children, babies are starving to death and they do not give a fuck
"The #SNP motion calls for a ceasefire. The Labour motion does nothing of the sort. In particular, its motion defends the right of Israel to continue with its actions in #Gaza if Hamas does not cease all its action. But, under international law, Israel has no legal justification for its continuing action in Gaza because it is no longer acting in any form of self-defence."
"This is an utterly intolerable motion from Labour."
I seem to remember many Very Serious People around here who assured us that #Biden's unconditional arming of #Netanyahu was smart, strategic foreign policy that would make the latter more compliant. 🤔
“Doctors in Rafah are warning Israel’s seizing of the border crossing and its intensifying attacks on eastern Rafah could lead to thousands of more deaths.”
The extract below (posted in two sections for alt-text purposes) is from an investigation by two independent Israeli journalists. The link is in Hebrew, which my browser doesn't translate, but has been provided for sourcing purposes (and for anyone who speaks/reads Hebrew, obvs).
BDS Movement: Update: Palestinians call to ban genocidal Israel from Eurovision
"The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) and the Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate call on the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to ban Israel from the Eurovision Song Contest – the world’s biggest live music event – or face widespread boycotts.
Israel, considered an apartheid state by major human rights organisations worldwide, is accused by South Africa, supported by tens of states, of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza at the International Court of Justice.
A senior UN human rights official and a prominent Israeli scholar of the Holocaust and genocide have described Israel’s war on the 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied and besieged Gaza as “a textbook case of genocide.” Dozens of UN experts and hundreds of international law scholars have also warned of “a genocide in the making.” …"

It applies as equally to the climate crisis and capitalism, as it does to Palestine. #cdnpoli#CeaseFireNow
"People are saying that they're feeling like they're going crazy. I want to congratulate you on displaying great courage and conviction. And I will tell you why: because in the past few months you have been mostly successfully withstanding a psychological warfare campaign of a massive, massive scale.
Thanks to @msquebanh for the idea and example. Here is the rough outline of #gaza (perimeter 110km and area 636sqkm) superimposed on #VancouverIsland, facing the City of #Vancouver#yvr. It runs from Lantzville (North #Nanaimo) to Chemainus. Imagine the people of Vancouver ‘facing' that horror, that deseruction, that genocide, within sight across the Salish Sea.
While the countries involved keep on bickering, the UNRWA is still not being funded after the revelation that 12 of its members were allegedly involved in the Oct. 7 attack.
I'll keep saying it again and again. It's absurd. UNRWA is the biggest humanitarian aid agency in the warzone, taking care of millions of Palestinian civilians and it's being pulled out in the middle of the famine just because Israel provided some information yet to be verified.
The Western nations ceasing to fund UNRWA are engaging in the collective punishment against innocent civilians running from point A to point B to avoid having a guided bomb dropped on their heads.
In the meantime, the ICJ ruling seems to have no effect on Israel whatsoever, because Israel is doing anything but "do everything in its power to prevent death, destruction and all acts of genocide in the Gaza Strip"
Amid all this, WHO decries shortages of food and medicine in Palestinian hospitals which are still under constant bombardment despite housing hundreds of injured and non-active civilian combatants™.
It would also seem Hezbollah got scared and declared they shall not directly attack US and Israeli troops, providing aid to Palestinian in other methods.
Doctors Without Borders said that the intensification of the onslaught by Israeli forces on #Rafah has forced it to stop providing lifesaving care at Rafah Indonesian Field hospital as of 12 May.
