It’s becoming clear that if Israel is not stopped in it’s destruction of Gaza, through internal pressure and the removal of Netanyahu from office, or external pressure from the US, then not only will we see genocide but also the Great War of our time.
Shame on @NimaxTheatres!
@MetPoliceUK How is this event at Apollo Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue, fundraising for ‘reservists’ in the Israeli army allowed to go ahead while 🇮🇱 commit genocide?
🚨 Emergency protest: Assemble at Eros statue, Piccadilly Circus. Sunday 4th Feb, 6pm
Yesterday, the ICJ made it clear that it had trust in UNRWA sources.
Immediately, Israel attacked the credibility of those employed by the agency, and now both the US and UK have cut funding to it.
@olivercookson Removing funding from a UN organization helping victims of genocide because the ICJ, another UN organization, ruled that genocide was likely occurring. What has the UK become.
In the latest of a cycle of "Hamas mass rape" articles, the Guardian joins the fray. It recycles a supposed eyewitness account of a group of Hamas fighters taking turns to rape a woman at the Nova festival on October 7, then cutting off her breast to play a football-like game with it at the side of the road.
We are supposed to believe this happened when we also know – from facts provided by the Israeli media – that Hamas stumbled on to the Nova festival totally unprepared and on their way to what they assumed would be a major confrontation with the Israeli military at a nearby army base; that its fighters were quickly confronted by paramilitary Israeli police who engaged them in gun battles; and that Israeli Apache helicopters, with little intelligence to work on, were firing Hellfire missiles at anything that moved, based on the “Hannibal directive” to prevent hostage-taking at all costs.
Does any of that add up? Did Hamas’ most disciplined elite fighters – training for years and knowing that this might be their their only, brief moment to take on the Israeli army in a near-fair fight or drag hostages back to Gaza for a prisoner swap before the Israeli military used its air power to overwhelm them – really take time out to indulge in a sick game involving a woman’s breast?
How is it that no one – the Guardian reporter, her section editors, the paper's editors – stopped for a moment and thought “Is this really plausible?” and “Am I being played to advance a nefarious agenda?” – in this case, genocide. Or did they simply recite in their minds – as Israel knew they would – “Believe women!”, especially if they are confirming a racist assumption that Arab men are blood-thirsty, sex-obsessed primitives?
In fact, the Zaka volunteers who are being heavily relied on in this Guardian “report” are Jewish religious extremist men, also with a proven record of lying: they came up with the complete fabrication of “40 beheaded babies”, when no babies were beheaded. Two infants are recorded dying that day.
The woman leading the “Hamas mass rape” campaign – now an academic – is a former spokesperson for the Israeli military. Their job, as any honest reporter will tell you, is to lie to journalists to excuse Israel's incessant war crimes.
What we now know – from multiple credible Israeli sources – is that Israel killed lots of its own civilians on October 7. Ynet, Israel's biggest media outlet, has just published an investigation in Hebrew showing that Hamas successfully took out Israel's all-seeing drone “eyes” over Gaza that day, leaving the Israeli military blind about what was happening. Panicked, Israeli commanders invoked the Hannibal directive, allowing those in the field to order tanks and helicopters to fire at anything that moved.
It was Israel that incinerated the hundreds of cars trying to flee the Nova festival, killing potentially hundreds of the 1,140 Israeli civilians that died that day, as well as Hamas fighters. It was an Israeli tank that incinerated 13 Israeli civilians, and 40 Hamas fighters, holed up in a house in Kibbutz Be'eri by blasting a shell through its front wall.

As Israel loses in the court of public opinion, we see desperate attempts to widen the conflict. All with the blessing and material support of the #ButcherBiden, a US President who claims Irish descent. Keep our country out of your mouth, @JoeBiden. Your ancestors disown you.
@SuellaBraverman Must NOT/ Mustn’t normalize massacres was clearly the intended message if you watch the speech. You’re either deliberately obtuse or need to go sit a verbal reasoning test - gcse level might be tough try an 11+ one perhaps.
In the Amalek عمالق story, the call was for the extermination of men, women, children, and all their animals. In the Gaza episode, animals were apparently not directly targeted by the IDF.
There is a yuuuuge difference, and one that must be used in the defense arguments.
@hurryupharry The only country fighting to stop the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Disrupted global commerce and did not kill a single person. If you’re more upset about late Amazon packages than a genocide, just say so.
As Biden bombs Yemen over shipping freedom, remember this:
When Israeli commandos boarded a Turkish humanitarian ship that aimed to break the starvation siege on Gaza to deliver food & medicine in 2010, they MURDERED AN AMERICAN CITIZEN on board, & the US didn't move a finger.
Uk and USA regimes about to add to the horror the West and its Middle East allies have piled on Yemen for years.
Cowardly, reckless, warmongering, Zionist-puppet scum.
If British ships are hit in retaliation, remember who to blame: Sunak, Shapps, Biden.
#escalation#WW3
On the same day that South Africa tries to stop Israel's genocide in the United Nations' top court, the US defends Israel's genocide by bombing one of the world's poorest countries.
