Nothing justifies killing almost 15,000 children in Gaza. Nothing. Not self defense. Not human shields. Not a damn thing.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

IS THIS A THREAT?

Paula Vennells has been stripped of her CBE by King Charles. But she has kept her £3m bonuses, paid for of course by the tax payer who still own the Post Office. RT if it's money we want back, not CBE's.

"Any transfer of weapons or ammunition to Israel that would be used in Gaza is likely to violate international humanitarian law and must cease immediately, UN experts warned." ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

It is utterly disgusting that a senior politician, Lee Anderson, a dangerous and divisive, hate inciting, racist, Islamphobic is allowed to openly spout his hate Get a grip @RishiSunak and sack him!

Just imagine if I was the one holding a sign that said that? What would happen? Or Imagine what would happen if this was said about anybody else aside from Palestinians, Arabs or Muslims? Why do Israelis seem to be beyond world law?

Lloyds, HSBC, Barclays, Natwest post £44.2bn pretax profit, up 41% from £31.4bn. Not because of extra effort. Govt forced people to hand their money to banks. Their unchecked profiteering is our inflation, cost-of-living crisis. The state we're in. cityam.com/big-banks-see-…

Since 2010 United Utilities sanctioned 215 times for offences and fined £6.6m. It continues to dump sewage, endanger water supplies. Puny fines have no deterrence effect. Its directors pocketed £4.3m last yr. What would you do with a serial offender? leftfootforward.org/2024/02/heres-…

Should Rishi Sunak be allowed to jet off to California as soon as he is kicked out of No.10. Or does he have serious charges of corruption that need to be investigated? RT if he must be detained. Like if he can leave.

Powerful words by 102 years old philosopher Edgar Morin, one of France's most revered intellectual figures, as well as a Jewish WW2 resistant who fought as a lieutenant in De Gaulle's France combattante. x.com/bob30031583/st… Here are his words on Gaza: "I am both astonished and outraged by the fact that those who represent the descendants of a people who were persecuted for centuries for religious or racial reasons... That the descendants of this people who are today the decision-makers of the State of Israel, that they could not only colonize an entire people, partly drive them out of their land and seek to expel them for good... But also, after the massacre of October 7, engaged in a real massive slaughter on the populations of Gaza and continue, incessantly, hitting civilians, women, and children. And to see the silence of the world, the silence of the United States, protectors of Israel, the silence of the Arab states, the silence of the European states who claim to be defenders of culture, humanity, human rights. I think we are living through a horrible tragedy because we are also powerless in the face of this thing that is unleashing. At least, I say: bear witness! The only thing that remains if we cannot resist concretely is to testify. Let's resist in our minds, let's not be fooled, let's not forget, let's have the courage to face things head-on."

First time the word Brexit has ever brought a smile to my face…👇🏻

Well… it has certainly turned a corner… not sure about the right direction though!!

The images from Gaza of the Rafah massacre by Israel last night look like a horror movie. Children dangling with limbs blown off, or crawling screaming with their dying breaths. Parents picking up the heads of their babies that are barely recognizable. The hundreds stacked like bodies in a slaughterhouse. The fact that their stories will be erased in mainstream media while videos are being suppressed on social media tells you all you need to know. Any semblance of international law or standard for humanity is dead. Palestinian life under occupation never mattered to you before, so our deaths under genocide don’t matter to you now. Don’t ever lecture us on morality again. Your hearts are dead. #SuperBowlMassacre

So immeasurably sad.

Israel has dropped almost 30,000 bombs and shells on Gaza in 100 days, eight times more than the US aimed at Iraq in six years of war. The world's 100 bloodiest days since the Rwandan genocide. It’s not war. It’s genocide.

Sinn Fein making more sense, and speaking with more humanity, than all the pathetic English politicians put together
