“Our lives are in your hands.” The most eloquent and simple statement of our universal predicament, from an amazing young woman who sees the stark reality of our existence more clearly through her Asperger’s than anyone else with access to a microphone.
Some people say that we should study to become climate scientists so that we can “solve the climate crisis” But the #climatecrisis has already been solved. We already have all the facts and solutions. All we need to do is to wake up and change.

JUST IN: Footage from Hebrew Channel 14 shows the final moments around Kamal Adwan Hospital.
From inside the tank, Israeli soldiers ask Doctor Hussam to lift his shirt and mock him for not having changed his clothes in a week.
After filming stopped, they stripped him and his staff of their clothes and took them to Sde Teiman Torture Prison, according to recent reports.
These scenes of devastation should be shared by every news outlet. Why aren’t they broadcasting it?

A photo that should have been emblazoned across every newspaper front page and every media home page. It should be one of the key images of 2024.
Dr Hussam Abu Saffiya strides in his white lab coat through the wreckage of the Kamal Adwan hospital he ran – the last functioning one in northern Gaza – towards two tanks, their gun-barrels aimed at him.
It tells the story of the final stages of Israel's genocide in Gaza better than any words. Is that why the corporate media has shown so little interest in publicising this image?

The last image of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya — detained by Israel for refusing to abandon patients — defines 2024.
It’s a testament to Palestinian resilience & a damning indictment of those enabling genocide, including the UK government.
In 2025, the fight for justice continues.

The IDF have targeted journalists from the start of the Gaza invasion. This is not, “collateral damage”. It is murder, pure and simple. As is the ethnic cleansing of 50,000 innocent Palestinians. One day, Netanyahu and his death squads will be brought to book.
Killing of five Al-Quds Today journalists in Israeli air strike is an outrage. They were covering events near al-Awda Hospital when their clearly marked broadcasting van was hit. Laura Davison, GS has desribed the incident as a clear breach of international law. @IFJGlobal
Well said, Carole. I worked for the Observer from 1990, and the Guardian from 1993 (after the amalgamation) until 2021 (and thereafter occasionally). Over three decades in liberal Limboland, I never imagined I’d see the Guardian so brazenly ape the worst traits of Rupert Murdoch.

Matt Van Tuinen is as good as they come - professionally, as a champion of tennis, and most critically as a human being. Keep him in your thoughts....

Thinking Nigel Farage is on your side is like believing that the stripper actually fancies you.
You have lost your political moorings. You’re living in a long-gone world of right and left. You can’t see that Russia under Putin is right wing? Seriously? You can’t make the connection between the neo-fascism of Trump and the dictator in the Kremlin who is manipulating him?
According to today's leftists I am "right-wing" (after a life of being called a Commie) because I'm opposed to NATO and the EU. Because I'm with China and Russia against US hegemony. Because I'm with the farmers and not globalised capital like Blackrock. Because I believe men cannot be women however they dress up. Because I hate abortion and euthanasia. Because I've concluded that marriage and the nuclear family is the best way to live. Because I believe in free speech and the free play of ideas. Because I believe in God. If these things truly are "right-wing" then so be it. But are they? Really?
