Israel killed every single child in this photo in Lebanon over the past 48 hours alone. They were not combatants. They were children.

Imagine if someone stabbed three people and the media reported that two people had been stabbed and ignored the third victim because they were Jewish. Well, the media is literally doing the opposite, it's ignoring the third victim because he is not Jewish. This is deeply warped.

The fact there was a third, non-Jewish victim, is obviously inconvenient, but the BBC (along with the rest of the media) doesn't let that stop them pushing their narrative.

Everyone should protest war crimes and genocide. But however much people are, rightly, furious with Netanyahu’s murderous government, its completely unacceptable to intimidate or attack random Jewish people. In the same way you shouldn't blame individual Muslims for the actions of al-Queda or ISIS. You always need to distinguish the criminal men of violence from innocent civilians.

BREAKING: Israeli settlers attacked the village of Luban al-Sharqiya in the West Bank — setting Palestinian vehicles and agricultural tractors on fire and attempting to kill farmers working their own land.

By the time the march happened thousands of Palestinians were dead due to indiscrimate bombing by Israel. That you dont consider that merited a protest speaks to your lack of morality. That you didnt realise this was predictable on Oct 7th speaks to your ignorance of history.
Stephen Pollard@stephenpollard

The first march took place on 14 October 2023, before a single Israeli soldier had entered Gaza. The PSC rang the Met to start the process of organising it on the afternoon of 7 October, while the massacre was still happening

A man just released from a psychiatric hospital, previously referred to Prevent, attacks Jewish people in London. The Guardian immediately carries an article blaming pro-Palestinian protest marches, despite a complete lack of evidence of any connection. theguardian.com/uk-news/commen…

Working-class children in Grimsby are losing faith in school, with many feeling they are being left behind before they even get a chance. “I just can’t do it” and “No, not really” show how some young people no longer believe they can succeed. John Ellis, who has run the Shalom Youth Centre for 54 years, says “the education system is totally failing the whole dream of young people,” as more children stop engaging with education altogether.

Yes, I also used to think this way: that the Arab intervention preceded the Palestinian expulsion. That is because I was unaware of the basic chronology of events. First, the Israeli militants started mass murder & expulsion. Then, Arab armies intervened trying to stop it
James Lindsay, anti-Communist@ConceptualJames

The Nakba is what happens when a five armies start a war they think they should be able to win easily and then somehow lose. The Holocaust is what happens when a continent decides a particular kind of people are so intrinsically a problem that they have to be exterminated. No.

This stuff is the most disgusting ghoulish behaviour possible — millions of men, women, families, children and, yes, Jewish people, have marched against Israel’s genocide. To use an act of violence in London like this is so utterly reprehensible it makes me feel genuinely sick.
Sharron Davies HoL MBE@sharrond62

Words are cheap, it’s actions that count. I’m sick to death of certain politicians being shocked & horrified (again) then allowing weekly vile marches

@Ria1984 @Beth_Tastic @CarmelOHagan1 My experience - and that of a lot of people I know - is that not only do schools offer minimal support, if any, but they are quick to label children as disruptive, thus creating an incentive for parents to seek a diagnosis.

@Beth_Tastic @CarmelOHagan1 @nsdmorrison No we don’t. Assess, plan, do, review. If there’s a problem, identify it…adapt for it/intervene…reassess etc. If there’s evidence of there being a problem despite interventions for a long period… THEN seek external support (here’s when a diagnosis might appear eventually).

Today, 29th April, marks a haunting anniversary. In 1989, 16-year-old Albert Kennedy fell to his death from the Charlton Street car park in Manchester. If you read the Manchester Evening News coverage from that time, it tells you everything you need to know about how gay people were treated. ​There was no sympathy for a dead child. Instead, the reporting focused entirely on his assumed status as a "rent boy" and the "killer disease" assumed to be in his blood. The cruelty peaked when the authorities simply hosed down the area where he fell. No criminal investigation was carried out; no evidence was collected. To the system, he was a non-person. ​Society let Albert down, let his family down, and let the gay community down. He was a vulnerable teenager who deserved care, yet he was met with total indifference. It is devastatingly cruel, but we tell ourselves: "That was 1989. We’ve moved on." ​But have we? ​Years later, Stephen Port murdered four young gay men in Barking, East London, dumping their bodies like rubbish: ​Anthony Walgate (23) ​Gabriel Kovari (22) ​Daniel Whitworth (21) ​Jack Taylor (25) ​The echoes of 1989 are deafening. Despite the bodies being found in the same vicinity, the police failed to investigate properly, blinded by the same old prejudices. Families were ignored, and a killer was left free to strike again. ​We may have "gained" legal equality, but when it comes to the lives of gay men and boys, there is still no equality of treatment. The "hosing down" of Albert’s memory continues whenever the authorities fail to take our safety seriously. ​Remembering Albert Kennedy. Gone, but never forgotten.
