This is like pushing someone off a cliff and saying: “I don’t control gravity”
Contrary to popular belief, Israel does not control the weather.

Ms. Rachel: “Can we take a second to think about how if we were freezing cold in tents and they were flooded and our babies were going to freeze and there’s a government, the Israeli government, that won’t let the warm supplies through so more kids are gonna die and we’re just like, all the nations, all the people, all the leaders, just like yeah that’s gonna happen again. You and I should not be ashamed that we are loud and we are constantly saying stop”

Large crowds dressed in red gathered at Museumplein in Amsterdam on November 8 for the fourth Red Line demonstration in solidarity with Palestinians. Backed by Amnesty International, Oxfam Novib and Save the Children, the protest called on the Dutch government to act over conditions in Gaza as Israel’s genocidal war continues

Meet the Israelis who just stole 8 homes from Palestinian families in Jericho. 1/ Rabbi Uzi Sharbaf, a mass murderer who shot up a Palestinian school while wearing a ski mask. Israel set him free. Now the Rabbi is stealing houses.
Rabbi Uzi Sharbaf. This one did a school shooting in Hebron, murdering 3 students and maiming over 30 more. Israel commuted his sentence. Now Rabbi Uzi Sharbaf is stealing houses.

If journalists like Courtney weren’t reporting from Lebanon we wouldn’t know that Israel is still killing people and demolishing homes. Because legacy media doesn’t care.
Report from Qantara, where Israeli forces are continuing demolitions of civilian homes and infrastructure. On Wednesday a man documenting the destruction was murdered by an Israeli drone strike.

Heavy rains have flooded tens of thousands of tents where displaced residents have been living in Gaza, with a United Nations official saying almost everyone in the territory needs help.

Labour have been rehashing this line about benefit claimants with chronic illness or disabilities for 20 years "Ask what people can do, not just what they can't" It's code for: "we're about to restrict benefits needed for survival because we think you're not trying hard enough"

The Israeli government gave the settlers a dozen 100,000 shekel Polaris ATVs to enable them harass more Palestinians. Same government that pretends they can't control them. Also gave them rifles.
Israeli settler militias storm the community of Khirbet Al-Marajem near the village of Duma, southeast of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

How evil! To crow about refugees they mass murdered, displaced, starved, destroyed homes/schools/hospitals, deprived of food/medicine/shelter. Continue to bomb and murder in tents. People are freezing to death, waterborne diseases rife. You support this @andyburnham @Ed_Miliband
Hamas doesn't get to escape accountability every time it rains.

You wouldn't know anything about the devestating conditions Palestinians are being forces to endure in Gaza, if you just listened to our government, or only checked in with the mainstream news. And why? BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL SO FUCKING COMPLICIT! Sign the petition. Share it. Make them answer for their crimes. petition.parliament.uk/petit…
A Palestinian child froze to death in Gaza this morning. This brings the number of children who have died from the cold since last winter to 12.

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.

Remembrance Sunday is a time to think about those who often had no choice but to perform heroic acts on our behalf. I’m thinking of my hero, Simon. "Despite shrapnel wounds to his legs and burns to his back and face, Simon was all that stood between the rats and the crew’s essential supplies" pdsa.org.uk/what-we-do/anima…

One of my favorite quotes (paraphrased) "Heinrich Schliemann did more damage to the walls of Troy in 10 minutes than what Agamemnon and the Achaeans did in 10 years." - Kenneth W. Harl
He then proceeded to irreparably destroy Troy by excavating without a permit using dynamite and digging directly through the city thinking Homeric Troy must be at the bottom. Troy was actually the mound itself, the layers he just plowed through, and not underneath the mound.

The water is almost certainly full of sewage as well. This is torture on a mass scale.
Ten minutes of rain were enough to reveal the suffering of an oppressed and wronged people.

For last 24 hours I’ve seen footage of horrific scenes from Gaza, just absolute human misery. Yet..it’s not there on any news outlet’s home pages, not discussed on our witless political shows. We’re just going to ignore it? Is that the plan?
