The first Remembrance Day since Israel killed 3 British Veterans in a precision strike, while they were delivering food to starving children.

Remember John Chapman, James Kirby and James Henderson, and think of their families who deserve justice.

They want you to forget them.

Israeli football hooligans terrorise locals, rip down flags & chant fascist songs

Football hooligans then get into fights with locals

Israel & supporters claim this is akin to Europe’s darkest hour or pogrom for Jews

Both minimising The Holocaust & insulting your intelligence

[Middle East Observer @ME_Observer_]

⚡️⭕️ Amsterdam Timeline :

1 - Israelis attack personal property

2- Israelis attack taxi drivers

3- Israelis chant "“Let the IDF win to Fuck the Arabs”

4- Israelis get beat up

5- Israelis start to market the story under the title "savage Islamic migrants attack peaceful Jews"

6- Israelis call it a pogrom against Jews

7- Israeli government and social media accounts exploit the event to the maximum to market / justify their genocidal war on Gaza and rally Europeans around their "cause" in "defending against terrorists"

George Monbiot on #PoliticsLive absolutly tearing Suella Bravermans claim the world is safer under Trump

"To me Braverman is a fake patriot, who the moment a demagogue arrives prostrates herself"

From Putin to nuclear threats, It's well worth 60 seconds of your day

@StanCollymore Labour no longer works for those people Stan… that’s the problem! You’re voting for a machine that placates & feeds the same monsters. The press allows them occasionally back in, on condition they do as they’re told, which leads us nowhere but back to the right… #voteDifferent

Its a sad bleak day
Trump sees no wonder or value in the natural world
unless it can be destroyed to create even more profit and wealth
Rules that protect wildlife and a clean environment are seen as red tape and obstacles that must be obliterated for more profit

[Prof Michael E. Mann @MichaelEMann]

America is a failed Democracy.
Our media failed us, our institutions failed us, our people failed us.
Worst of all, we now pose a major threat to the planet.

On such days the immortal words in 2002 of former Whitehall permanent secretary Sir Richard Mottram re-echo down the ages: “We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. We're all completely fucked.”

Whatever your views on the Royal Family, we can surely all agree that they shouldn’t be profiting from our NHS.

A potential reason for declining birth rates…

Having to explain to your kid:

Liars win

Cheaters prosper

Rich buy power

Wealthy evade the law

Genocides overlooked

And we’re destroying the planet to keep a handful of old dudes mega rich

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

@BBCSteveR is an absolute legend! Not many left at the BBC and even fewer in Russia… #journalism

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

British people should be proud that they have a journalist, working on their behalf, attempting to hold Putin to account. Americans might reflect on how the Presidential candidates might respond to this question being asked.

Thursday, October 17th , all the checkpoints in Hebron are closed for the Palestinian people because of the Jewish holiday #sukkot2024 , we are not allowed to leave out or in our houses. No schools no jobs no life . It is racism and apartheid not security to anyone .

[George Tsakraklides @99blackbaloons]

A lot of talk in the media about how Florida is now “uninsurable”. The naivety and hubris of humanity expecting to be insured against a climate Armageddon is off the scale.

How about the fact that this entire civilisation is uninsurable. How about the fact that money, and therefore insurance, will have no value in a demolished world where there is no food.

How about the vast areas of the planet which are becoming not uninsurable, but uninhabitable 💀

There is no insurance, or assurance. Only climate, ecological and economic devastation. But hey, good to make a point about the insurance industry collapsing. Maybe the same journalists will write about how this entire planet is collapsing

"One rogue nation cannot declare war on the UN itself and continue to get away with it"

My latest for @GuardianUS on why it is way past time for Israel to be expelled from the United Nations - and how it could be done.

YES, WE BUILT A HURRICANE CREATION MACHINE

Here’s how it works: It pumps out greenhouse gases that raise ocean temperatures, which then creates extra huge hurricanes to hit coastal communities, which nonetheless keep voting for politicians that subsidize the machine.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

You can recognize that European Jews have been persecuted for centuries, while also recognizing that this does not give them a license to colonize, steal land, and kill Arabs who have literally nothing to do with aforementioned persecution.

Really not that complicated.

[John Cusack @johncusack]

So let me get this straight- a bad person comes into my home tries to kill me - I kill them in self defense . Then I go out and find their house and kill everyone in their house - then I find where their families live - kill them all - and some guests who are there -
Then I kill the guests families - then everything in the whole town - then everyone in the state
- when does it stop being defense ?

“We are drowning” says Polish Mayor.
Lower Austria declared a ‘catastrophe zone’.
Much of Romania is ‘under water’
Why haven’t people listened?
And why are they STILL not listening?

Only an idiot would gamble their families lives that NASA + every university on Earth are wrong - and unfortunately that’s what our civilisation has done
