The Israeli army are using aid centres as target practice.

The Israeli government is proposing building a 'refugee' centre in Rafah with an extra special feature - no one is allowed to leave.

Its continuing in the West Bank too.
5 Palestinians injured by settlers today (2 shot the rest attacked by rocks etc)

5 killed in Gaza (Gaza City and Khan Younis) last night but the IDF.

773 dead in the Lebannon since Israeli bombardment began (including 100 children)

Good luck to the movie "The Voice of Hind Rajab" at the Academy Awards tonight as it is nominated for Best International Film.

Unfortunately one of the stars of the movie (Motaz Malheese) cannot attend as Trump has banned all Palestinian passports from entering the US .

I just saw that the IDF killed an a mum, dad and two children and they injured two more on an attack on their car in the West Bank. Who the fuck shoots up a car with 4 children inside? The violence in the West Bank is really getting out of control. The other day I saw a 5 year old girl who had been knocked down by a car driven by a settler and you know there will be no repercussions. When you can rape a man on camera, shoot and kill a man on camera and have no repercussions you know that you are free to do anything you like.

It's really mask off now. Smotrich warning that the Dahiyeh area of Lebana will soon look like Khan Younis. Dropping leaflets in Lebanon talking about their 'success in Gaza' and telling them that they are next. There is no pretence any more. Rape, kill, destroy and they know that the West will stand back and watch. We all warned that this would happen when a blind eye was turned to Gaza.

Unfortunately @ReturnOfTheToad I think we all know the answer to that.

Same fuckers who double tapped a house in the Lebanon with a tank and killed a Catholic priest .

"Who the fuck shoots up a car with 4 children inside?"

The same type of people who murdered Hind Rajab, her family, and the paramedics sent to rescue her. Unfortunately the IDF has got form for this. I wonder if Israel supporters here would make up stories to justify it or that it wasn't the IDF who shot up the car.

It’s one of the survivoring children in that car. They asked the IDF soldiers do they love their parents they said yes. He then said why did you kill mine. They then punched him in the face. He’s only young as well

JaneJeffer · 16/03/2026 20:56

The poor child. Why are those IDF soldiers such fucking cruel bastards?

Those soldiers are murdering thugs who have evidently lost their minds and souls. What a country Israel/US has become.

Was it an insult to the puncher to think his Jewish mother and father were comparable to the Palestinian’s? Is that why he punched him for asking?

I had never properly read Rachel Corrie’s correspondence to her family before today. Remembering her now as 23 years ago this March, when she was 23, she was killed with a bulldozer by the Israeli army. What a wonderful young woman. So aware of her privilege, very brave and true.

‘When I come back from Palestine, I probably will have nightmares and constantly feel guilty for not being here, but I can channel that into more work. Coming here is one of the better things I’ve ever done. So when I sound crazy, or if the Israeli military should break with their racist tendency not to injure white people, please pin the reason squarely on the fact that I am in the midst of a genocide which I am also indirectly supporting, and for which my government is largely responsible.
I love you and Dad. Sorry for the diatribe. OK, some strange men next to me just gave me some peas, so I need to eat and thank them.
Rachel

Rachel was a beautiful soul 💐💜

Ellen2shoes · 17/03/2026 23:57

Reading her emails made me realise that they could have been written yesterday. Believe her parents have made these public in the knowledge that she would have wanted them shared, but unbearably sad that the 23 years later, this is still the reality.

ReturnOfTheToad · 18/03/2026 21:00

This is just beyond words. A brutal assaults against both Palestinians and activists who were trying to provide a protective presence.

The ongoing terror is endemic, out of control and unconscionable - that the UK supports this regime and is allied with this is unfathomable. Wake up Keir! We are not asking you to attack the Israeli military, simply that you withdraw your endorsement of it.

BelleHathor · 18/03/2026 21:48

There are no more words to say about this barbarity. May the victims see justice.

Israel via their government and the actions of the IDF and certain settlers is in the end stages of destroying itself.

These brutal actions are not rational, but via Netanyahu's actions the country has largely alienated itself from most ordinary people around the World.

These are actions reminiscent of the fall of Rome in 476 AD, deep down many know there is no path back to normalcy, acceptance or the old status quo.

Kier like many in the political classes are keeping quiet right now, waiting to see how this plays out. Just be thankful so far we haven't followed Trump into Iran.

I don’t believe the Israeli authorities will really act to get justice for these poor Palestinians herders attacked by the illegal Israeli settlers. They are more likely lying in their usual way. The lowest of the low are defining the character of Israel.

ReturnOfTheToad · 19/03/2026 06:39

I saw some Israelis talking about their bombing of Lebanon(and the same talking point is made here regularly to justify attacks across multiple territories) 'No other people would be told to roll over and take terrorism'.

What are Palestinians supposed to do in the face of Israeli terrorism this is just never spoken about? They can't drop 2000lb bombs to kill Israeli terrorists. They can't even arrest Israeli terrorists. There appears to be no appetite within Israel to stop their terrorists, the opposite could be said to be true with the IDF defending their terrorists. There is no appetite among Western leaders to sanction Israel until they deal with their growing terrorist problem. Palestinians are literally expected to roll over and take Israeli terrorism whilst Israel are excused for bombing and killing 10s of 1000s of civillians on the grounds of terrorism. It makes no sense at all unless you don't see Israelis and their neighbours as equals. I cannot think of any other way someone could justify Israels actions but expect Palestinians to quietly take the daily Israeli terrorism.

Yes, and the Israeli state is itself sanctioning Israeli terrorists and thieves now more than ever, as well as in the past. The IDF also seems to include a large number of terrorists within its ranks and so does the Knesset.

The other argument used to defend Israeli murder, rape and theft is that Palestinians want to kill all Jews.

The Israeli terrorists and backers arguing this as an excuse seem to have huge motes in their eyes.

Has anyone seen the footage from Lebanon of the British Journalist Steve Sweeney being almost hit by an Israeli bomb? He was injured in the incident and lucky to be alive. He is adamant it was a targeted strike on journalists. He was in the middle of a live report when struck and clearly wearing a press vest.

Yes, seen it, I tend to believe him.

The IDF also hit the Bushehr Nuclear site in Iran, where Russian scientists are based, prompting a warning from Russia and this happened with Steve working for RT who have been highly critical of the IDF.

Just blatant terrorism. The flimsiest of excuses to murder and destroy as usual.

I see Germany has pulled its support for Israel in the ICJ case regarding genocide.
