Remember: Anne Frank wasn’t thrown into a gas chamber. She died of typhus, likely contracted from the filthy, overcrowded conditions at Bergen-Belsen. Yet, to call her anything but a very much intended victim of the Holocaust is basically Holocaust denial.
What, then, is this?
A massive chickenpox outbreak is spreading rapidly across Gaza’s crowded displaced families tents
20 day old Palestinian baby girl Tala Abu Ghali has contracted the disease while living with her family in an extremely hot tent with almost no basic necessities.
@get_involved1@hahussain How exactly does anything about October 7th justify dropping the equivalent of multiple nuclear bombs on Gaza? What then does the post-October 7th Israeli reaction entitle Palestinians to do to Israelis, if they ever acquire the means?
@_LFI@PeterPrinsley THAT is a fabricated version of zionism, lying by omission about what it actually does to people. There is no actually existing zionism that doesn't involve the violent dispossession of Palestinians to make room for an ethnosupremacist state, something he'd never back in the UK.
Trump got Qatari gas fields blown up by Iran in his stupid war and will now sell them gas.
Pretty much sums up the relationship of any client state with the US

portugal doesn't show up on the news because we're trying to stay peaceful despite being assaulted by the police numerous times, but please don't forget about us
I'm not going to name the school, but the @BBC's coverage of the antisemitism in schools report featured interviews with children from a Jewish school.
Here's the rub, though.
The school's own published curriculum explicitly teaches Zionism, celebrates the establishment of Israel and describes preparing pupils to become "positive advocates for Israel" at university.
It even references bringing in organisations such as StandWithUs to prepare pupils for that advocacy.
Now, let me be absolutely clear. There is nothing wrong with teaching Jewish history, culture or identity. And antisemitism must be challenged wherever it exists.
But when children are actively encouraged to advocate for a particular state, rather than critically examine its history, policies and actions, surely we have to question whether this is education or ideological conditioning?
And here's the staggering hypocrisy.
We're being told that schools must exercise political impartiality when discussing Palestine, while a school can openly describe preparing children to advocate for Israel.
Political impartiality cannot be a principle applied selectively, depending on which side of a conflict children are encouraged to support.
And the BBC has a responsibility to scrutinise that distinction, not simply present children's views without examining the educational environment in which those views have developed.
Children deserve an education that teaches them how to think, not what to think.

Buried on page 30 of 'Sir' David Bellend's report into antisemitism in schools in the UK it explicitly says there hasn't been a rise in antisemitism, only in anti-Israel sentiment. Astonishingly fraudulent crisis/debate, all to shield a genocidal state
If someone wearing a Palestine pin, or showing support of any kind for a people going through a genocide makes you feel personally ‘attacked’ or ‘Uncomfortable’ the Racist is YOU.
But Thanks to our Israel buckled Government, Up is now down, truth is a lie, & empathy is illegal.
What is the point of teaching children about the immorality of Nazism or the Holocaust if they can easily identify the same patterns being reproduced in Israel and Gaza and the response is they mustn't take sides?
This makes me sick. I can't believe this is normalized. Silicon Valley companies that build AI drones to kill Palestinians and Lebanese people should not be seen as "innovative" and "disruptive." It's just war and genocide profiteering while the biosphere continues to burn.
