The biggest mass funeral in Gaza was held this week for 112 people (including 44 children) that were killed in an Israeli strike on a residential block in 2023.
Their bodies were only recently recovered from the rubble in an operation that spanned across two weeks.
They’re destroying the books.
They’re destroying the museums.
They’re prosecuting the scientists.
They’re cutting down the forests.
They’re destroying the planet.

This is what a captured state looks like.
Britain is not independent or sovereign.
Free Palestine. Free Britain.
Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
The police in the U.K. last night were not able to keep up with the 999 calls after women were battered by their drunk boyfriends and husbands. Children too. Because England lost a football game.
You fucking weak ass fragile pieces of shit. You over emotional child men cnuts.
Fun Fact: The President of the goddam United States paid nearly $6 million in damages today to a woman he raped. Once upon a time, this would have been the only news you heard.
He's clearly recognised that Labour has haemorrhaged support due to its complicity with Israel's genocide, but if he thinks this is enough to stem the flow he's deluded.
Harking back, and apologising for the failure to call for a ceasefire is one thing, but the anger at Labour is rooted in its ongoing active support for a genocide , beginning with the failure to even recognise the reality of that genocide.
Burnham suggests that war crimes may have been committed but this is for the courts to determine. That is an extraordinary position in the face of the copious evidence of clear crimes. Burnham has no problem calling out war crimes in Ukraine despite no court ruling. He relies on the reports of credible bodies and the evidence of his own eyes.
It is predictable but nonetheless shameful that in a statement about Israel's appalling treatment of Palestinians he feels the need to state his opposition to antisemitism, implicitly suggesting that this is required before any call for Israel to be held to account.
2 weeks ago the UN commission of enquiry produced a harrowing and forensic report documenting Israel's deliberate targeting of Palestinian children as an aspect of its genocidal policies. It set clear recommendations for all UK member States. Adherence to these will be the test of Burnham's commitment to restore a policy rooted in respect for rights and the application of IHL.
1. End all arms trade with Israel.
2. Introduce comprehensive sanctions.
3. Arrest all of those who come to your terrain who have been Indicted at ICC
4. Prosecute any individual or corporation in your terrain that is complicit in supporting Israel's crimes.
As an addition end all repressive actions against those protesting genocide.
That's for starters. Burnham promises change. As so often Palestine will be the litmus test.
I'm sorry
So let me get this straight- Farage is resigning as MP to avoid being found guilty of possible foul play from the investigations into his £5m?
Even if its not clear cut- that's still his intention??!
How can folk not see through this and how this makes him look even more GUILTY??
Nigel Farage is a grifter. He always has been and he's continuing to grift.
He knew he was heading towards a byelection anyway so has pulled the trigger early.
The people Vs the establishment?! Reform are literally part of the establishment.
@LloydsBank following the prompts on the app to report a blocked transaction as fraud and keep getting sent round in circles. Now I can't use the app at all.
