Thanks @HeidiInTheBigCity

Thank you

Wow. The last three paragraphs 🔥

Thanks @HeidiInTheBigCity

In honour of thread 2, here is Nelson Mandela famously saying that America's enemies are not South Africa's enemies.

"Our attitude to any country is determined by their attitude to our struggle"

Thanks for the new thread @HeidiInTheBigCity

Thanks for the new thread @HeidiInTheBigCity

Thanks for the new thread
Day 101 of the war and the death toll is now over twenty four thousand, which includes over ten thousand children

I’ve also been reading the Guardian this morning.

Ayalon said most Israelis believed that “all Palestinians are Hamas or supporters of Hamas”

Now off to read the other SA article.

He's probably on to something here - but his ideas won't satisfy the needs of either Netanyahu or his extreme right coalition partners.

@HeidiInTheBigCity He says his views are extremely unpopular. Do you or anyone else know what is happening with Netanyahu’s corruption case? And what the likely outcome (the case and wider impact) of that may be?

Thanks @HeidiInTheBigCity

As 100 days of the war pass, The BBC have shared drone footage of the devestating destruction of Gaza

Just saw on the Spanish news that SA is going to sue USA but uk as well for supporting Israel. Thanks sunak

Edit - fuck it. Can't be bothered.

1. You weren’t giving before
2. what does that have to do with this thread ?

I apologise. Wrong thread. I will report.

@Parkingt111 , that footage is horrific. And people are having to live amongst that destruction. Its unimaginable.

Thanks @stomachameleon I saw the allegations and agree it’s concerning but wasn’t sure what it had to do with this thread hence why asking

It really is, and I'm glad the BBC posted it as too often the destruction of Gaza is minimised.
Even when the war ends, many will be living in unsafe and dangerous conditions

So many lives ruined and for what?

No one is coming out of this well.

I agree what exactly is being achieved by all this death, destruction and hatred? We now see increasing escalation throughout the region, sadly our own Government willing to be a part of that escalation. Absolute madness 😡

I really wanted to share this but wasn't sure which thread. Hope it's ok to share here. The BBC shared this clip of a young girl in Gaza who talks about her life in the war and the effects it has had on her. She lost her home and her brother was killed, aswell as being displaced twice. She dreams of becoming a doctor one day. When it comes to Gazans, we often only hear of them as numbers and statistics, so this is a opportunity to share a name and a face

@Parkingt111 thank you for posting this so much de-humanising even if unintentional

Seeing that girl all bundled up against the weather reminded me that there are now reports of young children dying of hypothermia in addition to malnourished mothers newborns at a few days old
