Help needed.

A group of us will go to Cuba next week.

They are facing a crippling illegal siege/blockade by the vicious US regime.

We will take as much medical aid as we can and the below list is most essential items.

If any medical workers can help please DM me. 🇨🇺

The real reason Spain is trying to exclude Israel from Eurovision:

[Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin @EoghanOCPBP]

National tally for Catherine Connolly so far is 64%.

Even if you include all spoils in final poll, she's at 56%.

Some people are trying to make spoils the big story in this election.

That's not it. The big story is a sweeping victory for a united left.

This is the only journalist I've seen acknowledge the role sections of the media are playing in the 'smear the bejaysus' campaign. Fintan O'Toole wrote an article in the Irish Times castigating FG for its Trump-like attack on the legal system, while ignoring the media's role

The Global Sumud Flotilla is approximately 3 days from Gaza with nothing but humanitarian aid on board. They have Naval support from 3 countries now. Don’t rely on mainstream media to keep you properly informed.
Your attention and support is vital. Repost everything!

ITV pulling zero punches in this incredible footage - "This landscape of destruction looks otherworldy, but it's not, it's this world - What is happening may come to define one of its darkest eras, one that casts a stain on humanity, which will endure for generations" #Gaza

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

Israel is acting systematically and deliberately to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip.

The “Our Genocide” report is based on documentation and research by Palestinians and Jewish-Israelis working together out of a shared moral commitment to human rights.

Genocide is the violent and deliberate destruction of a distinct group in whole or in part, or an attempt to destroy it, whether physically, socially or economically. It does not require the mass killing of all members of the group, but rather refers to any act committed as part of an intention to destroy the society and render its continued existence impossible.

Israel is inflicting a system of total destruction in Gaza:

– Mass killing of civilians
– Forced displacement of millions
– Destruction of homes and infrastructure
– Starvation as a weapon
– Bombing of hospitals and clinics
– Erasure of schools, universities, and cultural institutions
– Collapse of every civil system that sustains life

This is not “collateral damage.” It is the deliberate dismantling of a society.

Genocide is not only about what is done – it is about why it is done.
In Gaza, destruction is not limited to military targets, it is directed at Palestinian life itself. Civilians are killed because they are Palestinians. Children are starved because they are Palestinian. Homes are flattened not to win a battle, but to ensure that there is no life to return to.

The genocide in Gaza cannot be understood in isolation. It builds on decades of occupation, apartheid, and the systematic dehumanization of Palestinians. Israel’s regime of Jewish supremacy laid the ideological and political groundwork for this moment, shifting from domination to erasure.

The horrific Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, accelerated a process already in motion and served as a catalytic moment in which the Israeli regime shifted from a system of violent control to overt genocide. The trauma suffered by Israeli society and fear it generated were instrumentalized by Israel’s extremist, far-right government to advance policies that key actors had long sought to implement. It provided the justification for every action undertaken by Israel in Gaza since. The language of vengeance and elimination became common in Israeli discourse, as explicitly declared by senior political and military officials.

The actions of the Israeli military in Gaza were not a deviation, but the direct and almost verbatim execution of those threats.

The same regime, commanders and army are also intensifying violence in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and within Israel. Across all of these areas, Palestinians face mounting violence, forced displacement and collective punishment. While the genocide is committed in Gaza, the appropriate trigger could cause it to spread rapidly to other areas controlled by Israel.

There is no mechanism in place to prevent Israel from harming Palestinians, who have been left with no protection.

This is genocide and it is happening now, in real time and in full view of the entire world. Genocide must be named, and everything must be done in order to stop it. There can be no justification or explanation for genocide.

@SteveTLMT I’d say the childhood memory is better. Stick with that.

32 murdered by Israeli tank fire while waiting for food aid today.
TANKS FIRING ON STARVING PEOPLE!

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

A British guide to...

Terrorism:
- picking up a flag
- putting paint on a war plane

Not terrorism:
- executing 200 journalists
- murdering 30,000 kids
- bombing 37 hospitals
- allowing babies decompose in ICU beds
- starving 2million people
- shoot people queuing for flour

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Today, more starving Palestinians were lured into “aid distribution sites”.

They went in hope that they might find a bag of flour.

They were gunned down and murdered instead.

What utter inhumanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza.

Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians.

Stop arming genocide, now.
