Today, the Zionists are holding a conference in the Knesset hoping to translate vision of "Gaza Riviera" into a reality. As children continue to drop dead from the planned and deliberate starvation.. as the #GazaHolocaust is acheiving its aims, there is no evil worse than Zionism
בעז"ה מחר נקיים יחד עם @limor_sonhrmelh כנס בכנסת בנושא "הרביירה בעזה מחזון למציאות". בכנס יוצגו תכניות מעשיות ומפורטות להתיישבות ברצועת עזה על פי חזון הרביירה. אם אנחנו לא נתרגם את החזון למציאות הוא לא יקרה. מוזמנים להצטרף מחר.
"#Gaza: A constructed and deliberate mass starvation. Today, more children died, their bodies emaciated by hunger. The flawed distribution system (GHF) is not designed to address the humanitarian crisis. It’s serving military and political objectives. It’s cruel as it takes…
US analysis found no evidence of Hamas aid theft in Gaza pulse.ly/rizzkn00u8
Same from my upbringing and worse… Good thread
At my Jewish primary school & cheder, we were taught not only that Arab lives were worth less than Jewish ones, but that "Palestinians" didn't exist. Anyone who denies this is commonplace within Jewish communities is lying. Watch the film 'Israelism'.

Please watch this. If you're American or British, you're paying for the mass famine Israel has been imposing and continues to impose on Gaza. Alex de Waal is a leading famine scholar who has worked on most recent famines. Listen to what he says here about starvation in Gaza:
Mass starvation expert Alex de Waal warns that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is the “most intense, most severe,” and “minutely engineered” act of deliberate starvation since World War II:
My 2-year-old niece, Sham, cries all day from hunger. She begs for bread — anything beyond the tasteless, heavy staples of rice, lentils, and beans that have upset her stomach and made her sick multiple times. 972mag.com/hunger-gaza-fo…
🔴 LIVE DAY 654 #Israel #Palestine - Israeli tank shelling killed at least 12 Palestinians in a tent encampment in western Gaza - 26 nations called for an immediate ceasefire - Israeli strikes damaged a WHO staff residence Live updates ⤵️ middleeasteye.net/live/israel-ki…
A very nice day using #VolunteerLeave to host guests onto the #Railway200 #InspirationTrain also featuring some lovely @GBRailfreight locomotives, @ClanLine28 & a whole bit about careers #FreightManager #Rail200 #FreightIsGreat
A brilliant afternoon thanks to @GBRailfreight with the launch of the Class 99, a very exciting prospect for the future rail and freight #RailFreight #GBRf #Class99
A teacher pays more for work than a landlord pays on unearned income. Billionaires hide fortunes offshore whilst nurses struggle to get by. And when people defend it like this - just see very clearly they're protecting the wealth of the super rich whilst our country spirals.
We already have several wealth taxes including 🔴Capital gains tax 🔴Inheritance tax 🔴Stamp duty 🔴Air passenger tax 🔴VAT on school fees The top 1% pay 28% of our income tax. The top 10% pay 60%. When the rich are forced out, the rest of us will pick up their share of the bill.
About time!
GM is growing fast. We will expand @BeeNetwork over the next decade to meet the needs of our bigger economy. BUT There’s a limit to what we can do on a congested surface. It’s why I am asking TfGM to start planning for an underground for GM around a remodelled Piccadilly.
This is crazy. People imprisoned for stealing mobile phones and laptops imprisoned with no hope of release, under open-ended sentences that were abolished in 2012. WHY won't the government release them? Literally what is the reason? independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/…
Is there anything more American than screaming "Hell yeah, boy!" as you shoot at unarmed Palestinians? "Why do they hate us?" This is why.
In the future, Clint Eastwood (95yo) will attempt to document the mental health struggles faced by Americans returning from Gaza who lured Palestinians for food and then killed them 😞 Watch them here, celebrate firing on starving Palestinians
Here is the real story. Here is the number of Palestinians killed and wounded seeking aid on a daily basis.
It's not even 8am in the UK and a cursory flick around the TV finds the British media in full meltdown over Glastonbury. More than 70 people were killed in Gaza yesterday, including children and people seeking aid.
This can issue can be solved with a subtle rule change to match the rules like in Copenhagen. In CPH, the rules are inverse for floating bus stops & pedestrians have to give way to cyclists. Sorted…
Respect for pedestrian crossings was once one of the things that defined the UK as a civilised country. So how did so many cyclists suddenly become lawless ferals? And why is the anarchy allowed?
Horrific scenes from a pogrom of Palestinian Christians in one of my favourite West Bank villages, Taybeh where I have many friends. Here is the article I wrote about it @nybooks Disappearing Christians | William Dalrymple share.google/3Sc3zjpCfM0ylM…
More horrific footage from the Israeli settler pogrom against the Christian village of Taybeh, Ramallah, in the West Bank, where settlers set houses and vehicles on fire.
Good news from Yorkshire, where tracks have been relaid into Horton Limestone Quarry: the first loaded train left y'day! Well done all at @hd_materialsUK, @GBRailfreight @VolkerRailUK & @networkrail: more freight on the Settle-Carlisle: 129 fewer lorries on the road each time👌
