"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.
Whilst the @NHS is contemplating a ban on its staff wearing anything that shows humanitarian solidarity with Palestinians...
... it continues to be ok with employing staff who actively took part in what the UN, human rights organisations & legal scholars describe as #genocide.
Oct 7th, when 36 Israeli children inc one infant were brutally murdered, is rightly commemorated. World leaders condemned it, films were made so it would never be forgotten, the Israeli flag was displayed on public buildings across the globe.
March 18th, when 130 Palestinian children were massacred in their sleep, just a mile away, hasn’t even made the front pages. It’s just another day in Gaza.
Israel has cut off electricity to Gaza, even as it sent a team to Qatar to resume talks to extend the fragile ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
The move threatens desalination plants and will add to the shortages, a week after Israel stopped aid entering the Strip.
Israel. Is. Cutting. Off. Water. And. Is. Starving. Babies. Children. Elderly. Women. Men. To. Death. In. Gaza. Right. Now.
UK politicians and media are doing NOTHING to stop them In fact, they are supporting Israel's genocidal actions
Hold the fuck on. Are you telling me the guy who applied for a Canadian passport thru his Canadian-born mother to avoid South Africa’s mandatory military service, has the nerve to call 25-year decorated Navy combat vet Mark Kelly a traitor. Oh, hell no.
I pitched Hind Rajab’s story to @BBCNews while she was still alive. I will never stop fighting for the newsroom conditions in which her story would have been told long before she was killed by Israel. We’d have seen immediate wall to wall coverage of a 5-year-old white girl.
Despite winning an Oscar, ‘No other land’ has NOT been able to find distribution in the US because Israel doesn’t like it and the media companies are subservient to them.
Thank you for reading this thread.

The Israeli army has finally decided to release me today after 197 days in prison.
It was a long and exhausting time, but my refusal to enlist is only the first step of my journey.
Evil should start trembling from this day forward because I’m in the fight against it with full force - until this world is a better place.
Until there is peace, freedom, and equality for all.
I invite you to join me in this struggle.

No Other Land airs on Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March. Please share widely so as many people as possible can witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist.
Bafta and Oscar winning : BEST DOCUMENTARY.
As I seem to be shadowbanned, I repeat:
The "riviera plan" for Gaza is nonsense, which nonetheless must be taken very seriously. President Trump has basically declared his intention to commit the int'l crime of forced displacement and resort to unlawful use of force against the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination, in violation of the UN Charter - amounting to aggression.
The 191 members of the UN who still have an interest in protecting themselves from this madness, better recover from their paralysis and stand united against this imperialist lawlessness.
PS: In any case, this plan won't work. How do I know? 76 years of failed attempts by Israel, including 16 months of genocidal assault. Indigenous people do not leave their land.
This is one of the main reasons why “Israelis” are no longer allowed to give interviews immediately after their release to live TV.
They don’t want you to know the truth.
“This war is like nothing Gaza has experienced before - it’s hell on earth”.
‘This is Gaza’ is the searing new documentary from Channel 4 News, featuring the Emmy-winning work of filmmaker @YousefHammash.
UK release tomorrow at 9pm on Channel 4 Streaming.
I've not seen a single media outlet in the UK, Europe, or US report on the killing of this little girl by the Israeli military.
Not a single political leader has spoken of this incident. No emotive interviews have been done with her family. No condemnations have been issued.
