@Finallyloggedin
This is so interesting. Never thought of it that way but she’s right.
Again, I remain baffled by how Israel can behave like this in full view of everyone with no one seemingly able to step in and stop it. The billions

Very important point - Gaza is not an open prison, the people there are afforded none of the rights of prisoners.

It’s so blatant. Yet still no one is calling them out and saying that’s it, no more weapons.

"These words are worth reading.

They are from 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.

"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... who are today the decision-makers of the State of Israel, 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.""

Thank you for this link.
He is expressing so clearly what I have been thinking and feeling.
As a French citizen, I have nothing but admiration for the men, women and children who put themselves at huge risks to help liberate my country.
Let's bear witness!

@anotherfatyorkie it's probably your connection services where you are. It works. Better on WiFi for me.

Links loading fine for me too.

All twitter links loading for me. I assume where the links won't load that it's due to the account trying to access it being on a block list.

Been thinking the same since I saw the pic of some psychopath (because I can’t define them as someone defending civilians) with a woman’s night clothes. They see women as trophies

No idea what that picture is meant to be.

@EasterIssland @ConnieCounter I've just seen this on X. Israeli soldiers took a Palestinian hostage, used him to evacuate the hospital then executed him. What is moral about this?

Great speech in the Irish Parliament. Puts the UK government to shame.

He can be a bit unhinged sometimes but definitely passionate. Representatives from smaller fringe parties and independents get into government due to proportional representation and their voices are often much needed and a welcome change from members having to comply with their party whip. I think the UK loses out on these characters of dissent with its first past the post system

"Since Saturday…

We’ve discovered Hind Rajat was murdered by Israel, alone, amidst the bodies of her family, after crying for help as she was terrified.

We’ve witnessed Sidra Hassouna’s broken and dismembered corpse hung from a wall after another IOF attack.

We’ve watched yet another young Palestinian girl taking her last breaths, lying on a hospital floor, as an Israeli missile blew her stomach out.

We’ve seen medics desperately attempting to resuscitate a baby whose home had been destroyed by the IOF.

We’ve seen another infant whose legs had been blown off, lying in hospital without anaesthetic.

That’s five images that should never exist—five scenarios that can never be justified—in five days.

Yet these precious souls are merely five out of tens of thousands of dead or injured children—children the west sees as expendable to protect a fascist regime built on bloodshed.

There is no returning from this for the western order. The systems in place that facilitated this—and many genocides before it—must be entirely dismantled if the world is to know peace."

Very clear and well set out argument for how wrong it is to cut UNWRA funding.

Egypt has started to build a security buffer zone surrounded by walls to receive the Palestinians of Gaza.

Please do all you can to object to the genocide of Palestinians (Thread 2)

What influence does Italy have?

Seriously?

Apart from being NATO and the EU and having the Vatican the HQ of 1.4 billion Catholics (whose spiritual leader has also called for a ceasefire), there’s only the 58 million citizens of Italy …..
