Israel kills four Palestinians, including a 7-year-old girl, in attacks on Gaza as Tel Aviv continues its policy of tormenting displaced people

More than 2,200 Palestinians have been forced from their homes since Israel launched its siege of Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, on October 23. Buildings have been demolished and hundreds of businesses forced to close.
Residents accuse Israeli authorities of exploiting last week’s deadly gunfight to tighten restrictions ahead of Israel’s October 27 elections.
The offensive comes amid a surge in Israeli military and illegal settler attacks across the occupied West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem, since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023.
The violence has involved killings, arrests, home demolitions, the destruction of agricultural land, and the forced displacement of Palestinian communities, as Israel continues to expand its illegal settlements on Palestinian land

From arms sales to surveillance flights, Britain has played an instrumental role in Israel's destruction of Gaza.
Shamefully, this government is trying to obstruct the truth.

Just like in the US, the United Kingdom political establishment is owned by Israel and it is quite prepared to sacrifice everything for Israel.

We can reveal that the Tories took £1.3 million from firm linked to Israeli settlements.
Amnesty International says Conservative donor JCB is ‘part of the machinery of ethnic cleansing’ in illegal West Bank settlements👇

Basic education piece:
Not all Jewish people are Zionists.
Lots of Zionists aren't Jews.
The Board of Deputies largely self identity as Zionists.
The Media often report the Board of Deputies as the opinion of Jewish people.
Yet many Jewish people say #NotInOurName

🚨 Police Scotland have found no criminality relating to the finances of Yes Scotland.
It comes after a newspaper report claimed there was £1.5m 'missing' from the pro-independence group's accounts

"The science is crystal clear that if we were to burn the reserves in existing oil and gas fields, and those that are planned, we would shoot straight past what scientists and governments have accepted is the threshold for a safe climate."
@TessaKhan, energy expert and executive director of Uplift, explains to @AaronBastani why the government's decision to drill for more gas poses a grave threat to humanity.

The worst thing about the buses story is the way the BBC embraced the extreme language used by McGills against the FM and the lack of condemnation from Scottish Labour given it comes from a major donor.
Imagine Burnham being compared to murderous dictators by an SNP donor. The BBC would immediately go after John Swinney to ask him if he condemned the remarks. The whole narrative would be about the extreme language from a major SNP donor.
Not in this case though because the target is the SNP and not Labour. Indeed, the fact that McGills is owned by donors to the Scottish Labour party is absent from BBC Scotland coverage. The story is being politically managed to remove any fallout that might harm Labour.

Prior to the 2024 general election BBC Scotland headlined calls for Scottish buses to be taken back into public ownership. The call came from a think tank called Centre for Cities and a Glasgow campaign group. Why are neither on BBC Scotland this morning?
Interestingly, Centre for Cities turned up on BBC Scotland earlier this year calling for elected mayors in Scottish cities - and singled out Glasgow.

Israeli Defense Minister Katz on Lebanon:
'60 villages destroyed. 23,000 houses demolished. 200,000 residents gone. This is the Gaza model, and this is the model we are implementing.'
Just a Minister of Defense proudly listing the villages he erased and the 200,000 people he displaced
They've stopped hiding it

Remember, there's no high-speed rail line from Scotland to England and no passenger route to Europe.
But there are 3 interconnectors for our power. – at Wishaw, Scotland

This is a nonsense statement from Marra. How can you ask Downing Street for powers to be devolved out of Holyrood when the PM has no authority to do so?
Moreover, what Marra *actually* promised was more powers from Westminster to Holyrood. He said it clearly to the BBC.

SNP conference weekend ... Andy Burnham ... Andy Burnham ... Andy Burnham.
The whole station should be closed down.

It's BritNat Day at BBC Scotland. BritNat Breakfast has given us Douglas Alexander, Douglas Ross and former Labour advisor Sonia Sodha variously attacking the SNP and praising Andy Burnham and Kemi Badenoch. The Radio BritNat phone-in is pushing Burnham's message as well.
Note how easily BBC Scotland has changed the meaning of more devolution. It's always meant power from London to Scotland. Not anymore.
The SNP conference? BBC BritNat doesn't care about that. They've got the TV licence and they'll do as they please.
