BREAKING: Norway's $2 trillion wealth fund terminates Israeli asset management contracts.

“I support* a Palestinian** state***” *on condition the population is fully demilitarized and lives under US-Israeli security architecture **in a vague cultural sense since there is no contiguous land to put a Palestine ***a series of bantustans Israel can bomb/invade at will

A much better question than "What was Israel supposed to do in response to October 7?" is "What were Palestinians supposed to do in response to all of Israel's abuses prior to October 7?" Nobody's ever been able to give me a serious response to this question which doesn't entail mountains of lies and/or the dehumanizing expectation that Palestinians should accept conditions that none of us would willingly accept ourselves. That's why you never see me criticizing Hamas. If someone could tell me what specifically Palestinians should have done in response to Israel's tyranny that they haven't already tried in order to obtain real material justice, I'd happily say Hamas should have taken that option instead of resorting to violent force. But if that option truly existed, Hamas never would have been created in the first place. That's why nobody's been able to tell me what such an option would have looked like without lying. What was Israel supposed to do after October 7? Same thing they should have done before October 7: dismantle the apartheid state, give everyone equal rights, pay massive reparations, and right all the wrongs of the past. October 7 was a response to the tyranny and abuse of Israel; the correct thing to do when things finally came to a head with the Hamas attack would have been to remove all the tyranny and abuse which gave rise to it. That's what Israel should have done. Of course Israel was never going to do this, for the same reason they spent decade after decade murdering, displacing and oppressing Palestinians since Israel was created. Israel would never allow justice and equality after October 7 for the same reason Israel would never allow justice and equality before October 7: because Israel has always been a settler-colonialist project that can only be sustained by nonstop violence and tyranny and theft and abuse and lies and breathtaking immorality. That is the reason October 7 happened, and it's the problem all decent people in the world are trying to address right now.

100% of Gazans are actually being attacked if they stay at home

However bad you think Zionists are, they're actually far worse when they think no one outside their cult is listening.

Emerging centrist consensus that Israel is committing a world-historical, even genocidal atrocity and also less than two years ago was a perfectly normal democracy committed to protecting human rights and equal protection for all under its sovereignty

FALSE FLAG ALERT! Here it is, evidence that on Oct. 7th, Israeli soldiers were given a stand-down order before the wall was breached. The soldier in the video was only 100-200 meters from the wall but was told along with his fellow soldiers NOT to go to the wall because they might get shot. The soldier remains flabbergasted over this order that day. Link in comment. If this isn't definitive proof that Oct. 7th was a false flag, I'm not sure what is! especially in light of the fact that Israel had the plans days, weeks, even a year in advance of the attack.

@piersmorgan “Now”

FFS. This is so disgusting. How can anyone defend what this Israeli govt is now doing???

A colony of inbreds, rapists and thieves destroyed every single university and centre of learning and turned one of the world's most highly educated populations into emaciated refugees scrambling for food and water and I will fucking hate them forever

The absolute incapacity of Western leaders to enforce intl law when it comes to Israel is EPIC. Ministers, Prime Ministers, Presidents of Republic: Doing NOTHING, diverting attention, sanctioning individual ministers IS NOT enforcing the intl law that was developed after the Holocaust and WWII to prevent another Holocaust and WWII. At this critical point, Your states have a CLEAR obligation to: 1. Sanction Israel 2. Impose a total arms embargo (no buy, no sell, no transfer, direct or indirect) 3. Break the siege (send navies instead of dropping food on the head of starving genocide survivors) 4. Suspend all trade agreements with Israel till the end of the genocide, occupation and apartheid. 5. Investigate and prosecute individuals and orgs that have committed crimes in the oPt. Together we can, and we will.

@lambeth_council Thanks - how often is this area swept generally?

@markbittlestone Hi, sorry to see this, we will request this area be litter picked and swept with our street care team. Thanks

@lambeth_council I walk my dog every morning around Stockwell. The streets are covered in litter every day, every route. It’s so depressing. You have obviously cut costs because it’s got much worse over the last 5 years. Pics from this morning (Jeffreys Road & Larkhall Park).

I will never vote Labour again. Not in my lifetime. I will never forget the skeletal faces of starving children—cut off from food just beyond a sealed border. A border kept closed by choice. I will never forget the silence bought by political donations—or blind loyalty that bind Labour MPs to a policy over 100 charities and NGOs have called unconscionable. And I promise you this: as long as I live, I will never let the world forget. This is Labours greatest political miscalculation in my lifetime. Worse even than Iraq. It will destroy the Labour Party at the next election. Opening the door for Farage. The Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary belong in The Hague. This is a party complicit not only in genocide, but in the criminalization of peaceful protest—the cornerstone of democracy. Where words on signs are treated as more dangerous than bombs dropped on schools. On hospitals. On churches. All filled with children seeking shelter. This party are a true terror. For shame.

So what's the plan here? We just sit and watch Israel starve Gaza to death with the support of our own governments? And then what? We just go along with our lives, knowing that that happened? That this is what we are as a society? That our civilization is comfortable allowing something like that to happen? And that our rulers could do the same thing to another inconvenient population at any time? We're just meant to be cool with that? And go on living like it's normal? I'm genuinely curious. How exactly is everyone planning to go about living their lives after that point? How does that work, exactly?

There is no moral difference between telling people they can have shower so you can gas them in gas chambers and telling people they can have food so you can shoot them at aid sites. A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is cheaper than accepting homelessness.”

Today Israel murdered every child in this photo. If these were Israeli kids we'd hear every western leader speak their names and every news channel tell us their story. They're Palestinians so have no names, no story and no value to western nations who "champion human rights".

Not Gaza 2025, but Jaffa 1948, after the Nakba #ThisDidntBeginonOct7 #HistoryRepeating

The duality of British policing....

Israel has murdered more starving Palestinian civilians queuing for food from its "distribution hubs" (798) than the total number of Israeli civilians (695) killed on 7th October. On top of the 80,000 people (over 25,000 kids) it's already butchered.
