Sadly he will fit right in with the current US Government.

Birds of a feather there.

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

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. 🌈🌸

Am I surprised that this racist terrorist has been invited to the US?

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.

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?

More lies and 'mistakes' in the killing of a UN worker.
https://m.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-851392

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.

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..."

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.

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

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.

Genuinely what is going to happen if the food and Supplies runs out? There is 116 metric tonnes of food waiting at the border not being allowed in?

Are we going to see famine conditions soon, there will be huge numbers of deaths especially in those in vulnerable groups.

Gaza death toll surpasses 52,000 as aid groups warn crucial supplies are about to run out

Israel has blocked all imports to Gaza, including food and medicine, for nearly 60 days

People are starving. I saw a photo of a woman and child at the Catholic Church in Gaza and the woman was bone thin, as was her child. I’ve seen anorexic women 1 week from death with more flesh on them.

That is just so frightening and unnecessary..

I read there is enough food at the border to feed a million people for four months

If this round of ceasefire talks fail (which is expected) what happens next? Block all food until the whole population dies.

The new documentary from Louis Theroux about settlers in the West Bank is trending on social media.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002bm1y/louis-theroux-the-settlers

"Louis Theroux spends time with the growing community of Israeli religious-nationalist settlers. Their settlements are illegal under international law, and they have been protected by the army, the police and the Israeli government.

Since the Hamas-led attacks on 7 October 2023, in which 1,200 Israelis were killed, there has been an acceleration in the establishment of settlements, with settlers pursuing a campaign of violence against local Palestinian communities.

What was once a fringe movement has now won support at the highest levels of government, with their supporters holding key positions in the cabinet and able to influence not only the role the military plays but also the future of this conflict.

Louis Theroux embeds himself in the West Bank, meeting prominent settlers - including the ‘godmother’ of the movement, Daniella Weiss - and travelling throughout the territory to understand the consequences of their activity. Louis also meets Palestinians whose lives have been impacted by settlers moving into their communities. As the world focuses on Gaza, where at least 50,000 Palestinians are estimated to have been killed by Israeli forces since 7 October, Louis discovers that the settlers are already making plans to move into that territory, too."

Louis Theroux - The Settlers

Fourteen years after his first visit, Louis Theroux meets some of the growing community of religious-nationalist Israelis who have settled in the occupied West Bank.
