At this time of year, it’s professional shoppers only. My mum trained me up from 14, my brother was never allowed.
You simply cannot be bringing your 3 kids, husband and mum-in-law to tesco I’m afraid.
So sad that this generation of white boys cope with loneliness by turning into incels… whatever happened to sitting ur ass down and writing a song called Iris? Putting pen to paper about how down bad you are?
rather than touching grass, i recommend going to a concert and experiencing the live performance of that one song you hold religiously close to your heart.
During the bombing of Gaza City, a young man named Hamed Ashour found a German Shepherd that had been separated from its owners due to the heavy shelling. Hamed took the dog to his tent and cared for it so devotedly that he even shared his food with it.
International organizations sympathized with his story and asked him to film the tent and the living conditions he and the dog were enduring so he did. The footage moved many, including an Irish organization that was deeply affected and demanded a safe transfer for the dog, claiming that the tent where it lived was unfit for habitation and unsuitable for its environment.
Indeed, the dog was evacuated to Ireland while Hamed was left behind in the same tent deemed unfit even for the dog.
There’s a saying by Martin Luther King: “The problem is not with the cruelty of the world, but with the silence of humanity.”
His son was murdered yesterday and he is still reporting for us and trying to get Gaza’s stories heard all over the world. Please do not let these people down by being silent now. Keep going until Palestine is free.
UPDATE: This morning, Israeli police filed an indictment against Spanish flotilla activist Reyes Rigo Cervilla, with a request for pretrial detention. If granted, this means she will not be immediately released.
Rigo Cervilla is accused of assaulting a guard in Ketziot prison. She is currently the only one of 479 people detained with the first flotilla to have been singled out in this way.
Eyewitnesses told me that, after days of abuse, Rigo Cervilla, 56, was attacked by guards for defending another woman and advocating for everybody to be allowed mattresses to sleep on. Guards dragged her into a cell by her hair and then threw her in solitary confinement,
In videos from court, she can be heard begging for help and whispering that she is being threatened.
The six other activists (three Norwegians, two Moroccans and one Nigerian) still detained from the first flotilla are expected to be deported today or tomorrow, along with some of the 145 detained with the second flotilla. Israel has not indicated otherwise, and simply isn't drawing attention to their continued detention.
At this stage, it is just Rigo Cervilla who is facing a longer detention.
🆘 PLEASE SHARE 🙏🏻 🆘
Activist Okey Vitalis Nnorom who joined the Omar AlMokhtar Flotilla sailing alongside the Global Sumud Flotilla, remains in detention, despite earlier false reports claiming he was handed over to the Nigerian embassy in Jordan. The occupation authorities deliberately obfuscated information and misled lawyers about the detainees’ status.
Supporters are called on to contact their local Nigerian embassy and the Nigerian government to demand Michael’s immediate release.
UPDATE: Yvonne Ridley has been released from Israeli detention and is safe…
“Many of you know that I spent 11 days in prison under the Taliban in 2001. Well, I will tell you something now that, straight from the heart, I would rather spend two months in a Taliban prison than two days with the Israelis.”
Keep your eyes on this new flotilla wave- they have less big names so our attention matters more.
Keep Gaza in your hearts and minds as well because that is what all of this is for.
🚨 URGENT: Scottish flotilla participant Yvonne Ridley is missing after being imprisoned by Israeli forces while on a humanitarian mission to Gaza.
