Brexit is a coup by the far right for the far right. I'll never stop mouthing off about it.

"UN experts have expressed grave concern over a pattern of attacks that have severely damaged or destroyed more than 80% of schools and universities in besieged Gaza, terming the widespread destruction a potential act of 'scholasticide.'
For many, the school was more than a place of learning; it was a haven from the harsh realities outside its walls."

"Seven peers work for arms firms involved with Israel’s weapons trade, while another six hold shares in companies that supply the Israeli military...raises concerns about how British parliamentarians are financially benefiting from the suffering in Gaza, with activists accusing them of “profiting from genocide”
Also: "...these unelected legislators could use their influence in Westminster to promote the interests of weapons manufacturers."

"UNRWA staff members were among the released detainees and the report said they were forced to confess to actions they were innocent of."
"I saw people [in detention] 70 years old, very old. There were people with Alzheimer’s, old people who were blind, people with disabilities who couldn’t walk, people who had shrapnel in their backs and couldn’t stand up, people with epilepsy… and torture was for everyone,"

The New York Times language, used to report on Israel's attack on Gaza, has been deconstructed by Juan Cole.
Funny and tragic at the same time. One example:

"DEADLY VIOLENCE: When Israeli settlers kill innocent Palestinian civilians. Contrast to TERRORISM, when Palestinians kill Israeli civilians...Russian renegades who attack Russian targets in Russia from Ukraine are never to be referred to as TERRORISTs, since they are not Palestinian."

"Every time Israel does something that makes things more dangerous in the middle east with the assistance of the United States, the American press fall all over themselves to inform the world that the president really doesn’t want this to happen and that his feelings are very upset about it...And it’s just such an obscene insult to our intelligence to suggest that the Biden administration is some kind of passive witness to all this,"

9 min Al Jazeera documentary from 6 years ago. Israel has always been a terrorist state. You can clearly see the violence and the lies to the media. The Israelis don't want to know the truth anyway. They complain if they see anything reported other than the state narrative.

Ahed Tamini's "A Palestinian Girl Fight for Freedom" tells the horrors in the West Bank and what she endured in prison for simply slapping a soldier.

In the meantime, whilst everybody is distracted by the Iran response to Israel's attack, the settlers attacks in the West Bank have been intensifying.

"The Palestine Red Crescent Society said its ambulances were prevented from reaching the area by Israeli army vehicles blocking the roads."
Francesca Albanese...urged the UN to "authorize the deployment of a protective presence in the occupied Palestinian territory,""

Headline bias

Headline from The Guardian:
"Israeli military says 99% of Iran’s 300 drones and missiles intercepted; Biden denounces ‘unprecedented’ attack – live"

The FT:
"Iran launches 'unprecedented' missile and drone attack on Israel"

No mention of the attack being in retaliation for Israel's attack on Iran. I didn't even bother with the right wing rags..no point

The Independent mentions it:
"Iran launches drones and missiles towards Israel in retaliatory attack: Live"

"Iran consulate bombing: 'Israel's' act of desperation"

""Israel" wants to give the appearance that it is ready for war with Iran. However, the reality is that the attack was a desperate attempt to intimidate Iran into pulling back its support for the Resistance axis. There is only one explanation as to why "Israel" would take such a risky measure - it is losing the war in Gaza."

"Israeli Knesset member Har-Melech has said that there are "secret" Israeli plans to settle in Gaza, saying that rapid work is underway in government offices to achieve this"
She said:
""I also believe in the context of defining victory over our enemy, that they must know that in the place from which those who slaughtered, killed and called for erasing Israel's name came out of, will be a large and spacious settlement".

Not so secretive, are they?

"Organisers have criticised the Metropolitan Police’s handling of yesterday’s al-Quds Day demonstration in which two ultra-orthodox Jewish rabbis were arrested for inciting anti-Semitism, Islamic Human Rights Commission reports."

The London Met police arrested some rabbis for inciting anti-Semitism? ... you cannot make this shit up..

Apparently the rabbis burnt an Israeli flag. That to me is protesting a state, not a religion. Duh?

"The divestment decision concerns shareholdings with a total value of €2.95 million in the following six companies: Bank Hapoalim BM, Bank Leumi-le Israel BM, Israel Discount Bank, Mizrahi Tefahot Bank Ltd, First International Bank and Rami Levi CN Stores."

This is what should happen globally, IMO. Divestment and sanctions should be applied to Israel, the same way they've been applied to other rogue states.

Not an easy one to read ..Opinion piece on Israelis committing holocaust in Gaza and denying it at the same time.
"...now there are the many kibbutzniks who openly speak of wiping out Gaza. Two-thirds of us, including nearly 40% of the “left wing,” literally want to deprive Gazans of the most basic humanitarian aid (it’s 80% on the right wing, by the way, and they constitute about two-thirds of Israeli voters)."

A testimony from Nick Maynard, cancer surgeon who's gone out to Gaza with the UK emergency team back in December.
This is about targeting civilians.

Owen Jones on Israel's excuses to slaughter aid workers, stop NGO's from operating and merrily inflict famine on the whole of Gaza, with total impunity. He also deals with the information published on Haaretz, which has gone around and convinced a few people ... er, nope, not that convincing after all.

"The destroyed vehicles bear the hallmarks of a precision strike, which only the IDF has the capability to conduct in the region...Although not possible to be certain without fragments of the munition itself, the WCK vehicles bear the hallmarks of a precision strike by inert or low-yield missiles...In order to hit moving targets, such as cars, it is necessary for this kind of munition to be able to track the target in real time."

Hardly a mistake IMO...

Some priceless quotes from Caitlin Johnstone in her most recent opinion piece.

"Israel is so dedicated to protecting civilian life that it’s deliberately gunning down unarmed Palestinians whenever they walk within firing range and then adding them to its “Hamas terrorists killed” tally."
