The Freedom Flotilla sailing to Gaza 🇵🇸

Breaking an illegal 18yr 🇮🇱 siege, feeding children, exposing genocide.

Over 50 boats from 44 countries & 6 continents

Mainstream media & failed western ‘leaders’ ignore them

So carry their message:

‘Palestine 🇵🇸 must be Free’

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

Gaza. A young boy carries his sister, both starving, trapped, homeless and fleeing from Israeli genocide.

On the other side of a wall other kids play at swimming pools and eat fast food.

This is what the UK/EU and US support.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

WOW!
President of Ireland, Michael Higgins, asks if there really can be a European Union if some of its most powerful members stay silent in the face of the genocide in Gaza (in fact, they are complicit).

His point is a crucial one: Much of the glue of the European Union was common values. But is support for genocide a European value? Can those who oppose genocide feel commonality with those in the union that support and facilitate the Gaza genocide?

“I believe that the European Union will find it extraordinarily difficult to ever be a union in any sense again when some of its strongest members are deciding to stay silent in watching emaciated children in what is a human, man-made, really atrocious infliction on people.”

This video of Charlie Kirk saying that Netanyahu let Oct 7 happen so he could stay in power has been REMOVED FROM YOUTUBE

He asks if there was a “stand down order” on Oct 7 (there was, the border was empty for hours).

They don’t want you to see this.

- Players now seem to play better for their clubs than their country, and have done so for a long time
- Have conceded first in 9 of Heimir's 10 competitive games
- Can only buy tickets in three-match bundles until a week or two before
- FAI €43m in debt

The FAI has failed Irish football.

There are many good people in the organisation who are about to lose their jobs due to the incompetence of top-level management.

Hopefully, last night is rock bottom, but my fear is we're still not even there yet.

Something just has to change.

“I have not betrayed my people. It is they who have betrayed the tenets of Judaism, which were always full of compassion.”

Actor Miriam Margolyes denounces Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, sharing she has lost friends and family members over her outspoken views.

[Joseph Attard @josephattard02]

Say what you like about Banksy, but with these two pictures, he's managed to sum up the attitude of 'British democracy' to free speech when it comes to Israel and the genocide in Gaza.

Trotsky once said that art must tell the truth. I'd say he's met that standard.

Israel accuses Greta Thunberg of antisemitism!!!

"It is not antisemitic to say that we should not be bombing people, that one should not be living in occupation, that everyone should have the right to live in freedom and dignity, no matter who you are,"

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Are you silent because it's not your child or grandchild? If you are silent during a genocide you are complicit. Shame on you.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

❗️🇪🇺 Amid a genocide, Europeans must know: Israel is the second largest per-capita recipient of EU start-up funding via @EUeic

EU institutions will have to answer for the ‘innovations’ that have aided Israel’s assault on Gaza. But right now, this program must be stopped.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

At this point, you are either pro-humanity or pro-genocide, there is no in-between.
