@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?

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

It's beyond depravity. I'm so upset for then all.

From a @washingtonpost story about Israelis blocking aid trucks for Palestinians:

Every explosion in Gaza raises a cheer.
“Dead, dead, dead Arabs,” one camper shouts at a roaring volley of outgoing fire. Then she notes the presence of a reporter. “Hamas,” she corrects herself.

remember this next time you’re reminded that some Palestinians celebrated the death of Israelis on 7-10. Remind them how some Israelis have been blocking aid for days for Palestinians and wishing them death

Nope it started in 1947.

Yet more evidence that this is a war mounted on the Palestinian people. The aim here is what, other than to cause suffering?

Sorry I have no idea where to post this. The Irish Taoiseach and the President of Spain have written to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, asking that the Commission "undertake an urgent review of whether Israel is complying with its obligations including under the EU/Israel Association Agreement, which makes respect for human rights and democratic principles an essential element of the relationship; and if she considers that it is a breach, that it proposes appropriate measures to the Council to consider."

This is being reported as the the first step towards seeking European economic penalties on Israel.

Thanks, I know the Irish government are looking for sanctions at this point, good to know Spain is standing with them

Spain has been critising UEs option since the beginning. When the war started ue removed the aid for Palestine and Ireland and Spain managed to overturn this. The Israel consul in Spain is really pissed off and says Spaniards are funding terrorists, the donations for unrwa have increased. Government says they’re not sending any weapons since 7-10(tho this has been proven not to be 100% true)

The EU has put sanctions on Hamas, which is good,

You mean against Israeli settlers?

.

What is your problem here with this?

Good to see Italy requesting a ceasefire. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240214-italys-parliament-calls-on-govt-to-support-gaza-ceasefire/amp/

Why?

What influence does Italy have?

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 …..

Seriously?

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

Just seen this petition

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

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

Jewish lady with a clever metaphor - a must see for the Zionists.

"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."
