Apologies for the graphic talk but in that picture his sister has been blown in half ..
Barbaric.

600 or 20 classrooms of children dead since Israel ended the ceasefire.

It is horrific, Palestinians are saying what a nightmare it is that at any moment a neighbours body part could be flung into their homes. Such is the nature of the bombs that Israel is using.

Yes him, thank you. I'm so glad to hear he survived and praying his mum does too. The poor poor boy 😞

Is that the little boy Ali Faraj Faraj? There is an image of him bloodied on top of rubble. His dad and five sisters were killed and his mum is seriously injured. He did survive though.

Apologies if it's a different child.

Some of you might have seen the footage of the poor little boy in Gaza today who was flung into the rooftop of another building from the force of the bombing. Does anyone know if they managed to rescue him?

They are under immense pressure now because of how many aid workers they have killed in the past year and there's talks that there might be more warrants issued by the ICC.

Hopefully the UN and other International bodies will actually do something.

Once is a mistake, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern indicating deliberate choices.

Next month is the anniversary of the assassination of UN appointed mediator Count Bernadotte, who was murdered by the Stern Gang prior to the declaration of the modern state of Israel in 1948.^^

"....The assassination was approved by Stern Gang leaders, including future Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Shamir and future MK and peace activist Natan Yellin-Mor, and was carried out on the 17th in the Katamon neighborhood in Jerusalem. A four-man team ambushed his motorcade, with one of the men firing six rounds into Bernadotte, and another 18 at Col. Andre Serot, who sat next to him, killing them.
According to Gen. Aage Lundstrom, who was in the motorcade, the scene took place as follows:
"In the Katamon quarter, we were held up by a Jewish Army-type jeep placed in a roadblock and filled with men in Jewish Army uniforms. At the same moment, I saw an armed man coming from this jeep. I took little notice of this because I merely thought it was another checkpoint. However, he put a Tommy gun through the open window on my side of the car, and fired point-blank at Count Bernadotte and Col. Serot. I also heard shots fired from other points, and there was considerable confusion... Colonel Serot fell in the seat in back of me, and I saw at once that he was dead. Count Bernadotte bent forward, and I thought at the time he was trying to get cover. I asked him: 'Are you wounded?' He nodded, and fell back.... When we arrived [at Hadassah hospital]... I carried the Count inside..."

More lies and 'mistakes' in the killing of a UN worker.

I saw this, the UN representative was insisting at the time that it was the IDF who shelled the building despite knowing that foreign UN officials were there but the IDF repeatedly denied It. Other officials were also injured.

Weird that he can get a visa. US immigration law, specifically the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), outlines grounds for visa ineligibility, including association with terrorist organization's. Seems if you support Jewish far right terrorism against Palestinians it's all good. Yet attend a protest for Palestinians, the victims of Jewish far right terrorism and you can face deportation.

Free Palestine apparently. Although at the moment it looks like Palestinians are going to have to free themselves as western protestors are too preoccupied criticising Israel

Show quote history

Oh yes, because Israel poses no existential threat to Palestine or Palestinians. None at all.

And Palestine’s fate rests entirely on UK protesters.

If UK citizens would just protest against Hamas, everything would be fine. Hamas will leave (because they will take note of the protests) and then Palestinians will be free to live happily ever after in peace, with no aggression or interference from Israel whatsoever.

The end. 🌈🌸

The IDF bomb tents again. This time at Yafa School where people are sheltering.

Thats awful @Scirocco . It says 70% of the country is under an evacuation order. This means with my very basic maths that roughly 109.5 square kilometers is available for 2.1 million people.

Like shooting fish in a barrel.

A few apparently like beating up female Jewish Pro-Palestinian peace protesters…

”A Jewish woman marching in support of justice for Palestinians and a ceasefire in Gaza was pushed into the pro-Israel counter protesters by a Met police officer. There she met with violence and abuse.”

”UK – On 18 May 2024, as a result of Police actions, a Jewish activist named Jessica L was assaulted by counter-protesters when she attended the pro-Palestine ‘National March for Ceasefire’ at Piccadilly Circus, London, wearing a Kippah and t-shirt with “Jews Say Ceasefire Now”.

”Counter-protesters had gathered holding Israel flags and placards with inflammatory slogans. When Jessica passed by this area on the march path, they became visibly and audibly hostile to her, shouting derogatory, misogynistic, Islamophobic and antisemitic abuse. Jessica was subjected to specific slurs such as “Kapo” and accusations of being a self-hating Jew—terms uniquely weaponized against Jewish supporters of Palestinian liberation. She also received explicit threats of violence and sexual assault.
A Met Police Liaison Officer identified Jessica as Jewish based on her attire, forcibly removed her from the main protest, and then pushed her towards the counter-protestors as he shouted at her to “get back over there”. The counter-protestors proceeded to reach across the barriers, pulled Jessica towards them by the hair, attempted to remove her kippah, struck her, spat on her, and they continued to shout misogynistic and antisemitic abuse at her.
Jessica shouted for help, but police officers failed to intervene. Eventually, she freed herself with the help of Palestine Solidarity Campaign demonstration stewards and rejoined the Ceasefire demonstration. A police officer then communicated that they wanted Jessica to leave the demonstration due to the amount of hatred and hostility she was receiving from the counter-protesters. Jessica sought to report the assault to police officers, but she was told to report it online. When she then went to make a report at a station, she was refused an in-person meeting with a supervising officer.”

To all the IDF apologists on here. In the aftermath of the IRA terror campaigns on the UK mainland in the 1970's/80's would you have called for the carpet bombing of Northern Ireland, the destruction of hospitals, churches and schools on the basis that IRA members and sympathisers were present in those places and the blockade of all food supplies to the province. If not, why not? Please explain the difference.
