@master_paintt @barker_kel35489 @owenjonesjourno No, free us from Zionist Israel, which is different

@TCruiser8291 @barker_kel35489 @owenjonesjourno Don’t identify all Jews with Zionist Israel, that’s really misinformation

[Jane McCarthy @JaneMcC149]

@meierod @barker_kel35489 @owenjonesjourno Don’t mix up Jews with Israel

Circulating footage online documents an Israeli settler demanding Israeli occupation soldier shoot Sara Aziz, a 15-year-old girl from the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, after alleging that "she's trying to attack the soldiers".

Sara, lying on the ground defenseless, was reportedly shot in the hand.

West Bank land sales keep happening all over the world, because external financial and demographic support is essential for the colonisation of Palestine.

Protest Is Not Terrorism report that, while the infamous Judge Johnson was imposing draconian sentences on the the Filton 4 after refusing to allow them or their lawyers to explain their motives to the jurors (and then adding a ‘terrorist connection’ of which the jury were also unaware when they convicted), activists in three other cases, who *were* allowed to explain, escaped conviction:

‘Direct actionists walk free from court in Aylesbury, Canterbury and Birmingham
It’s clear that the Filton 4 Palestine Actionists were convicted because Judge Johnson prevented Rajiv Menon and the rest of their defence team from making any effective defence at all, and in particular he prevented them from telling the jury about their reasons for taking direct action against Elbit Systems.
‘On 21 May, the Grid 2 (Audrey Corno and Jessica Stacey) were acquitted at Aylesbury Crown Court of criminal damage during a rooftop occupation of GriD Defence Systems premises near High Wycombe. As Audrey Corno explained on Instagram, they were acquitted because the judge “We argued that the damage was necessary in order to prevent war crimes. It's a very, very simple case, which is why the jury came back with the correct verdict after only 20 minutes of deliberation.”
‘On 11 June the Discovery 5 (who sprayed red paint over the Instro Precision site in Sandwich) were acquitted at Canterbury Crown Court. As one of the defendants (Dziej Smith) explained, “We were able to take the stand and talk without restriction about our reasons and our strongly held beliefs based on fact. We could not only say the word ‘genocide’ we could talk of the destruction and devastation manufactured on our doorstep. We could directly link Elbit systems to the IDF.” As a result, “12 members of the jury heard our evidence and unanimously delivered a ‘not guilty’ verdict
‘On 18 June, the jury in the trial of the Moog 4 refused to convict them of criminal damage after they occupied the roof of an arms factory in Wolverhampton. Again the jury’s decision followed a trial in which the defendants were allowed, by the judge, to explain their intentions. “We believed the longer we stayed up there,” said one of the defendants (Iain Evans), “the more lives we would save.”’

Israel's UN ambassador gets in a shouting match with UN officials and demands the resignation of the author of a UN report documenting Israeli rapes of Palestinian prisoners. https://t.co/NIqrwRxfOn Seems to me the better approach would be to investigate the allegations of rape.

Really surprised to see Katie Hopkins being kicked out of a London pub. It's almost as though the real world bears no relation to the bots and Russian shills of Twitter and ordinary people don't like hideous hate-filled divisive grifting twats.

I visited the first Gaza Holocaust Memorial in the US

Every American city should host the Wall of Tears

We paid for this genocide and should reckon with it for eternity

Getting rid of Keir Starmer is not enough. We need to get rid of the politics he represents: corporate greed, anti-migrant rhetoric and endless war.

[Stop The Bollocks with Mirabel @MirabelTweets1]

Israel has killed FOUR THOUSAND people in Lebanon

FOUR. THOUSAND. PEOPLE.

Not reported in the Westerm MSM

If 4K people were killed in Israel we would be in Armageddon.

[Palestina En Español 🎒 @PalestinaVence]

🇵🇸🇮🇱 El presidente de Bielorrusia lo dijo sin rodeos.

“¿Por qué hablamos del Holocausto sufrido por los israelíes mientras ellos mismos han matado a tanta gente? Gaza simplemente fue borrada de la faz de la Tierra.¿Y ahora quieren construir un resort sobre la misma tierra donde mataron a esa gente?”

Una crítica dura y directa que refleja el creciente rechazo internacional ante la destrucción de Gaza y los planes posteriores.

Mientras tanto, millones de palestinos siguen desplazados, con sus hogares y tierras destruidas, en medio de una crisis humanitaria que no termina.

Es urgente que se detenga la impunidad, se proteja al pueblo palestino y se respete el Derecho Internacional.

¿Qué opinas de estas declaraciones?

[Marwa Osman || مروة عثمان @Marwa__Osman]

They knew exactly who Mona Khalil was.

They knew the bright orange house in Mansouri, south Lebanon. They knew it was not a military site, not a command center, not a battlefield position. It was one of the most recognizable symbols of environmental conservation on Lebanon's southern coast; a sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles and preserving life.

Mona spent her years defending the most vulnerable creatures of the Mediterranean, teaching generations that every life matters, that nature is not a casualty to be discarded, and that humanity has a duty to protect what cannot protect itself.

Yet the same orange house that stood as a beacon of conservation became a target for terrorist Israel.

This was an assault on a woman whose life's work was devoted to safeguarding life itself. A woman known internationally for her environmental activism, whose name had become synonymous with the protection of Lebanon's coastline and its endangered sea turtles.

The murder of Mona Khalil sends a chilling message: even those whose only weapon is compassion, whose only mission is preservation, are not spared.

Let's be very clear that vicious anti Muslim hatred by politicians and their trillionaire mate @elonmusk create the conditions for this kind of vile attack.

Sending huge solidarity to the Muslim community in Edinburgh and beyond.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

No Cobra meeting @Keir_Starmer ? No headlines @BBCWorld ? Why are stabbed Muslims of absolutely no consequence to anyone in power in the UK?

This was a prediction a few years ago from a French TV show about how hot it might be by 2050 if we didn’t stop climate change.
France is seeing these temperatures today.
Climate change is happening faster than predicted and it’s going to get much worse.

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

. @skynews casually mentions the European heatwave and that France may see the hottest temperatures ever recorded there.
No mention of climate change our that we are seeing the hottest years ever recorded globally.
How on earth are the public meant to understand or demand action if the media doesn’t explain reality to them?
