Children in Gaza dying of thirst after trucks carrying water blocked - UNICEF

Shipping giant Maersk will cut ties with companies linked to illegal Israeli settlements on the occupied West Bank, the Danish shipping giant has said. The decision follows months-long pressure by activists on Maersk on issues related to Palestine.

BREAKING: Palestinian witnesses and hospitals say Israeli forces opened fire toward hundreds of people waiting for aid trucks in central Gaza, killing at least 25 people.

Amidst shameful media neglect of genocide in #Gaza, there has been a consistent exception: the UK’s Channel 4 News. Today’s report on the daily killings by Israelis of the starving queuing for food aid. Wait for the UN assessment at the end. This is a difficult but essential watch. Pls share.

Today—after the war was supposed to be over, due to the alleged destruction of Iran’s nuclear program—Israel has bombed Shahid Beheshti University (a war crime) and a landmark in Tehran’s Palestine Square (a war crime) and launched the worst bombing of Tehran yet. Israel is out of fucking control.

The 5% is the NYT editorial board

Tens of thousands of US military pass through Shannon Airport every year. At times, it’s the largest de facto US war base in the world, despite Ireland being neutral & pretending it doesn’t notice. All US military should be obliged to provide >their< social media accounts, in advance, unlocked.

I am so angry that the Tom Lehrer songs about nuclear proliferation and ballistics that I grew up loving are suddenly relevant to the present day: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRLO...

Sally Rooney in The Guardian Israel kills innocent Palestinians. Activists spray-paint a plane. Guess which the UK government calls terrorism | www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The difference between this US war on Iran and their disastrous war on Iraq over 20 years ago is that this time the US hasn't even bothered to get evidence of WMDs - they've gone on the record to say Iran doesn't have them.

It's one of those things like "the velvet underground only sold 6,000 records but everyone who bought it started their own band" but for everyone who answered "yes" to this being given a national newspaper column

Now is a moment to reshare this video

It was one of the greatest privileges of my life to visit Iran in 2014. It’s the place I wish I could return to most. Stunning natural beauty, deep reverence for artists, and people of profound kindness, wisdom, and warmth. They don’t deserve USrael’s barbaric violence. They never have.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

West’s history in ME is constant meddling & hypocrisy; carving up regions; redrawing borders; fueling ethnic/sectarian divides; undermining some regimes, propping up others. If we truly cared about Iran, we’d have supported Iranian people’s own resistance to regime, not bombed them at behest of 🇮🇱.

BREAKING: The US says it is optimistic that the Iran war will be as quick and easy as the 20-year war with Afghanistan when we replaced the Taliban with the Taliban ♥️

A young boy in Gaza was filmed wailing over the body of his father, who was killed in an Israeli air attack on Jabalia. Israel’s bombing of Gaza has not subsided despite it’s escalating military campaign on Iran.

Study reveals ABC racism & bias is worse than CNN & the BBC. The ABC is a publicly funded org which isn’t abiding by its own ‘standards’ ‘The ABC shapes the genocide narrative around the perspective of its perpetrators’ #shame #auspol www.deepcutnews.com/p/exclusive-...

Is it déjà vu all over again? Unproven WMD claims being used to justify unprovoked bombings, USA poised to join in, UK reportedly considering it, public support in the West patchy at best, ‘hawks’ getting excited etc etc etc tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

Every day.

Gaza's civil defence agency said Israeli forces killed at least 43 people today, including 26 who had gathered near an aid distribution centre

Lemme get this straight: the only country in the Middle East to have nukes and the only country to ever use nukes on civilians are bombing another country to stop it getting nukes, even though their own intel shows it's not trying to get nukes. Is that about right?

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

Israel complaining about another country bombing a civilian hospital is almost as sadly ironic as Israel bombing another country for developing nuclear technology.

Iran: Weeks away from having nuclear weapons since 1995

"11 Palestinians have been killed since midnight, at least 4 children are amongst the dead. The Israeli military killed at least 56 Palestinians on Monday alone. Most of them were killed by a mix of air strikes and snipers whilst trying to access food"

As the British state arms and supports these war crimes they'll have Mo Chara in court in London tomorrow to try to label him a terrorist..... Starving and homeless they were shot dead by the IDF who now also control the tiny trickle of food. Evil beyond any fucking words.

Yeah, Othello’s just about being careful where you put your handkerchief, isn’t it?

Israel hasn't stopped gunning down the Palestinians they're starving, as those Palestinians try to feed themselves There is nothing wrong with continuing to say it: these are war crimes, this is genocide, this is murder. It must be stopped, and those perpetrating the crimes must be held accountable

REP. RANDY FINE: Nuking Gaza would be a terrible idea. The fallout would drift into Israel. It would kill the hostages. CNN: But you're not worried about killing women & children in Gaza? FINE: War is a messy thing... Palestinianism in Gaza is on level of evil that we saw in Japan & Germany in WW2

NGL this one hit different

Video shows a Palestinian child searching for scraps of food among garbage in a dumpster in Gaza, as Israel continues to forcibly starve the population in the besieged enclave.

Referring to events in Ballymena as "disturbances" is a euphemism too far. We are witnesses to a pogrom. And it behoves us to say so, loud and clear. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

No rest for the wicked: despite having just launched an all-out war on #Iran, Israel continues to simultaneously slaughter civilians in #Gaza. The only language they understand is violence. www.rte.ie/news/world/2...

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Accurate statement

Netanyahu's Iran nuclear bomb claim timeline: 1992-present

Riots breaking out across N. Ireland after a girl was sexually assaulted by 2 immigrants. Where was the outrage for the 4090 other female victims of sexual violence here in the past year, or the 25 murders committed by NI men? This is not about the victims. It's about ignorance, hate & racism.

Jeffrey Donaldson's Home, Surrounding Streets Remain Unaffected By Riots

The Gaza Health Ministry says at least 57 aid seekers have been killed by Israeli soldiers since yesterday morning.

Bibi needs another war
