The Israelis are armed with warplanes, guided bombs, high explosive missiles, phosphorous bombs, tanks, armoured personnel vehicles, heavy artillery.
44% of those they have killed are armed with dolls, toy cars and teddy bears.
Let that sink in.
"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.
There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.
I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.
It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!
So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.
And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."
King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £350m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. But he still needs a 45% pay rise.

Israel killed more Palestinians in the West Bank last year than any year in nearly TWO DECADES.
Now, 25 days into January, Israel is on pace to nearly DOUBLE the number of Palestinians it has killed in the West Bank for 2023.
Are you paying attention?
Today the schoolchildren in a-Safai had to study outdoors. Two weeks ago the Israeli military demolished their school and yesterday confiscated the tents that were used as temporary classrooms.
The cruelty of Israeli apartheid grows each day. Occupation forces destroyed a small elementary school in Masafer Yatta 2 weeks ago, but residents rebuilt, placing tents for the little kids to study in.
Today, soldiers came and destroyed the tents, as the children watched.
90-year-old Israeli brags about murdering hundreds of Palestinian civilians, including children, during the 1948 Nakba.
