"Your channel refers to Palestinians as prisoners, even the children arrested without trial, & the Israelis as hostages, is again a racialised othering of Palestinians that has allowed the genocide to happen for 15 months"

The monstrosity of our time.
We know and pretend not to know.
We give it other names, we make up excuses.
Israel is erasing Palestinians from Palestine - starving, torturing to death, pulverising homes, schools, churches, trees, human bodies, burning them in tents - and we call is "self-defense".
Israel's self-defense is the defense of ideological hatred turned political doctrine. And genocide.
Just now -- acclaimed British surgeon testifies to #UK Parliament, detailing how #IDF "quadcopters" would arrive at the scene of airstrikes in #Gaza & "pick-off" / "shoot" the injured, including children.
The *only* people impacted by a “prayer ban” in schools are Muslim students/staff.
If your organisation’s systems/structures/policies/practises/expectations, result in unequal treatment/outcomes for a particular group, then this is the very definition of institutional racism.
Breaking: Michaela Community School, frequently referred to as 'Britain’s strictest', is facing a High Court challenge from a pupil over its policy banning prayer rituals
The school can be named after an application for anonymity was rejected today

This testimony from Paul Ley, a doctor at the European Hospital in Khan Yunis, Gaza, is absolutely sickening:
“I have worked in hospitals in Afghanistan, Uganda, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Cambodia... but I have never operated on so many injured children as I am now in the Gaza Strip. In the burns unit of the European Hospital we now have 78 patients, nearly two-fifths of them children under five. I have never seen anything like it. I have been in many war contexts where the type of wounds are the same but the number is huge. We never leave the hospital. We work round the clock. We do operations with minimal anaesthesia. If we run out, we can’t operate but there is no clear line. There are a lot of people crying, screaming with pain, but we don’t have enough analgesics. We keep them for the kids or very severe cases. Normally we would change dressings on patients with 40% burns with them under sedation and minimise the time by using more attendants... Now it has to be done with a lot of pain. We try to keep our heads cool and steady, but for local staff this is their families, friends, their people. They never want to amputate. They say: ‘I can’t do it any more’ and so I say: ‘OK I will do it, don’t worry,’ and you can feel the relief”.
Listen to this. Listen.
Israeli MP: “As far as I'm concerned, the concept of proportionality, must cease to exist…If it’s one Israeli mother crying, or or a thousand Palestinian mothers crying, then a thousand Palestinian mothers will cry…We are too merciful”

Israeli soldier and settler call for war “between good and evil”, and promise to bomb “all the hospitals” and “kill them all.”
Zionism is a genocidal ideology.
