“I've reported 18 wars over 35 years. I've been shot at, kidnapped, threatened, nearly raped. I've lost friends from Sarajevo to Syria. I thought I'd seen the worst of humanity. I was wrong. Nothing compares to #Gaza, or the complicity letting it happen.”

If cattle were forced to live in these conditions, the @BBCNews and especially @BBCNewsNI would keep this story as a main headline. But Palestinians matter less than farm animals.

One of the most prominent Jews speaking out against Zionism has been @ZackPolanski, and it was a pleasure and an honor to speak to him here.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon:
"The countries of NATO account for 80% of the world's military spending. It is not true that the others are armed to the teeth against us. What is true is that we belong to a coalition that threatens everyone."

Protecting an old forest stores 40x more carbon than planting a new one.
We don't just need to plant trees. We need to STOP cutting the ones that already keep us alive. #CongoBasin #SaveForests

When Israel warns the world that "Iran is planning to assassinate Trump with drones", you can bet your entire life savings that Mossad intend to assassinate the President of the United States (again) and then blame Iran.

Superb investigation. The value of arms export licenses to Israel increased under the Labour government.
They need to hang their heads in shame.

Stop calling it a climate problem.
Call it what it is: organized greed.
The planet isn’t dying. It’s being killed for profit.
The killers have names. And boardrooms.

As Lewis Hamilton called it a GENOCIDE the BBC can't report his visit or his comments.
Please RT this until they do.
Thank you.

Israeli actress says she's leaving Israel for good, citing Gaza genocide
——
Israeli actress and director Einat Weizman, a member of the Balad party, announced she will relocate to Athens, Greece, with her partner and two daughters, citing years of professional and personal difficulties over her political views and criticism of Israel.
Balad is a Palestinian-led political party that advocates for Palestinian national rights, equality, and a single secular, democratic state for all its citizens.
Speaking to Haaretz, Weizman said her 'outspoken' positions had exposed her to harassment, cost her professional opportunities and made it increasingly difficult to earn a living. She cited being fired and suspended from teaching institutions, as well as the termination of her representation by the Zohar Yakobson agency following a social media post celebrating Palestinian journalists in Gaza after the 'ceasefire' announcement.
"I can't sit in a cafe and drink wine without being constantly aware that people are being expelled from their homes and going hungry in Gaza," she added.
Weizman also said she could no longer tolerate living in Israel amid the war on Gaza, saying "for the past three years, it has been hard to live here because of the genocide. I simply know too much to be able to lead a normal life in the Tel Aviv bubble."
She concluded by reiterating her rejection of living in Israel, saying: "I can't mentally bear to stay in this place, can't pay taxes here and can't be part of the murderous madness happening here."

An IDF statement issued yesterday stated a 14 year old boy was shot dead in the West Bank on Monday, because he planned to throw stones at them. Not threw stones, PLANNED, to throw stones.
This is Zionism.

Lewis Hamilton: "I'm here with the Egyptian Red Crescent as they load these boxes containing aid they have prepared to send to Gaza. They went to the Rafah border today, accompanied by their wonderful volunteers. They have more than 70,000 volunteers across Egypt, and over 2,000 people here volunteer every day to make sure these boxes are ready and packed as well as possible. They're fully ready to be
deployed. So we really need to put pressure on Israel to
reopen the crossing from the Palestinian side, because not enough trucks are getting through each day."
"The people in Gaza and Palestine are in such urgent need that they could hardly need this aid more than they do right now, so we really must apply pressure.
And work together to ensure this aid gets there. There is a great deal of it, and this center is just one of several different sites that also contain such wonderful supplies, full of food, medicine, and things that individuals and families in Palestine really need."
