Gaza is DROWNING. And this should make us angry, furious and outraged!
🚨Urgent support needed 🚨 chuffed.org/project/113222-t…
Overnight, thousands of tents collapsed under the storm, with dozens of displacement camps now completely underwater. The rain is expected to continue until Monday.
This is the FOURTH winter that Palestinians in Gaza have faced under genocide. After years of bombardment, displacement and destruction, families who have already lost their homes are now watching their only remaining shelter collapse under the rain.
Think about what that means: parents trying to keep their children dry, families desperately trying to salvage their belongings from floodwater, people who have already been displaced repeatedly being left with nowhere safe to go.
There is something profoundly wrong with a world in which people are forced to fight this hard for the basic right to shelter. They should never have been put in this position.
The Sameer Project is already replacing dozens of destroyed tents and arranging truckloads of sand to help absorb water in flooded camps. But the need is far greater than our current resources.
We urgently need funding to provide higher-quality, more durable tents. These cost $700, compared to $200 for lower-quality alternatives. Many families are refusing the cheaper tents because they know they will likely break again. We are also looking to buy hundreds of tarps and blankets. They cannot keep starting from nothing every time a storm hits.
We are asking you to help us do something tangible. We can’t sink into helplessness. Help us get families out of the floodwater and into shelter that can actually protect them.
We cannot stop the storm, but we can refuse to stand by while families face it without protection.
Please urgently donate whatever you can and share this appeal. Every contribution brings another family closer to having somewhere safe and dry to sleep: chuffed.org/project/113222-t…
Hey @abcnews there’s “wet weather” @ some Grand Prix but why aren’t you mentioning a word about the dire flooding & the situation in Gaza?
Disgraceful reporting
@FranceskAlbs
There’s no freedom of the press in West Bank as Israel doesn’t want anyone to know the truth about it’s Zionist policies
Segal’s undertakings in Australia are another example of Zionism silencing freedom of speech.
The “Israelisation” of Australia
.
I have watched interviews in which Israeli officials are asked why foreign journalists are barred from entering Gaza or face restrictions on their work in the West Bank. Their response is that journalists can enter and work with complete freedom. However, this video reveals a different reality, showing how foreign journalists are treated in the West Bank, while foreign media remain completely barred from entering Gaza.

The Shoalhaven City Council refused to allow this exhibition but now it's being shown in a church.
The Wall of Tears by American artist Phil Buehler memorialises the 18,457 children reported killed by Israel.

This compilation of BBC pro-Israel bias, recorded in their stories, is truly daunting — especially when you play the clip.
“We counted 70 of these denials and justifications [of Israel’s crimes] in 52 aired interviews.
“The BBC calls this ‘impartiality’.
“But in not one of those 52 did a presenter raise any of these words from Israel’s own leaders, like:
“We are fighting human animals.”
Now, play that clip…
It’s hard to grasp the BBC’s systematic attempt to launder Israeli propaganda until you see the sheer scale of it. Here's a compilation of them doing it at 2x speed.
The latest was on Newsnight on 4 November. When Bernie Sanders called Israel’s government extremist, Victoria Derbyshire answered for it: “And the Israeli government would deny that they are extremists.”
As this video shows, BBC presenters repeatedly do this as guests describe Israel’s crimes: “Israel would say.” “Israel would deny.” “They would reject that.”
We counted 70 of these denials and justifications in 52 aired interviews. The BBC calls this impartiality. But in not one of those 52 did a presenter raise any of these words from Israel’s own leaders:
- “We are fighting human animals.” Yoav Gallant, 9 October 2023
- “It is an entire nation out there that is responsible.” Isaac Herzog, 12 October 2023
- “They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world.” Israel Katz, 13 October 2023
- “Remember what Amalek did to you.” Benjamin Netanyahu, 3 November 2023
- Starving two million people in Gaza until the hostages came back might be “justified and moral”. Bezalel Smotrich, 5 August 2024
On 10 October 2023, Tahani Mustafa told the BBC that Israeli forces were not distinguishing civilians from fighters. The presenter replied: “They would reject that.” Mustafa then had to bring up Gallant’s “human animals” herself. The BBC supplied the denial. The guest had to supply Israel’s own words.
That is cherry-picking. The Royal Charter requires the BBC to be impartial, and the public pays for it through the licence fee. In these interviews, it handed its audience Israel’s denials and left out its leaders’ own words, during a genocide streamed live to the world.
We have archived the BBC’s coverage for three years, and we are now counting all of it: 50,000 video clips and many more written excerpts.
We are calling this first part: "BBC: The Would Say Files".
Handing Israel its denials is only one of the ways the BBC launders Israeli propaganda, so we will count every other technique too. Over the next few weeks, we will announce each milestone as we complete the report.
These are the first results, with every clip, quote and source: newscord.org/editorials/bbc-…
ABC forgot to mention 30% of Israelis blocked from voting & adds:
“Shin Bet have launched investigations into allegations of foreign funds flowing into Israel prior to the election, aimed at encouraging voter turnout in Arab-Israeli communities” 🤷

It’s not an act; it’s a hideous crime & MSM aren’t reporting its seriousness nor severity to the public @abcnews @SBSNews
O World,
The people of Gaza are not drowning in rainwater, nor are their frail bodies trembling because of a storm or rainfall.
They are drowning in YOUR ABANDONMENT.
#YourAbandonment 💔

There is insane censorship on the flooding in Gaza, please share the catastrophic storm widely!
If Spain can be Governed from Spain then why can’t Australia be Governed from Australia?
Almost every Australian ‘cepting pro-Zionists respect Aust’s sovereignty more than Israel’s genocide.
Why not ALP, LNP & ON?

Genocide is hate. Zionism is hate.
One day everyone will always have been against this
Do you care about these children in Gaza?
Do your friends, family & neighbours?
Your Government @AlboMP certainly doesn’t even though they’re signatories of Int’l Law.
The concentration camp MUST end!!!
David Sharp retweeted
The worst kind of disappointment is that Gaza has turned from a cause that shook the conscience of the world into a forgotten tragedy,
living in oppression alone, while everyone continues their lives as if nothing happened
David Sharp retweeted
Gaza’s displaced families are being left to face freezing winter storms in tents that are now submerged in floodwater. This suffering cannot be allowed to continue, while the world turns a blind eye.
Alongside fellow MPs, I have written to the Foreign Secretary demanding urgent action and international pressure on Israel to end the obstruction of aid and reconstruction. Britain must stop issuing statements of concern and start using its influence to force change.
