…We will not be able to force them to leave Gaza
“Without hunger and thirst among the Gaza population, we will not be able to recruit collaborators, we will not be able to recruit intelligence, we will not be able to bribe people with food, with drink, with medicine.” -Tally Gotliv, member of the Knesset
Are Private Eye jokes now... criminal? PALESTINE Solidarity campaigner Jon Farley was arrested, bundled into a van and taken to the cells during a silent march in Leeds last weekend. What egregious act had prompted the police to act? He was, er, carrying a Private Eye joke piece…
There’s a kind of horror & pain that words can’t carry—like the mother who left home today to find food for her hungry children, only to return & find the home struck & all her children killed. All of them. (1/4🧵⬇️)
You'd think it would've been the audio of Hind Rajab, or silhouette of the person burning with the drip attached, or the half a child on the fence, or the body with hands shackled flattened by a tank. But what prompts an expression of the horror is the Express giving permission

Even the BBC correspondent yesterday said this is just 'declatory rhetoric,' it contains no clear timelines, threats or interventions - Israel is ok with this as long as they are left to get the job of genocide done.

David Lammy today said intel from the RAF spy flights over Gaza is not going to the Israeli military But an Israeli military official told the New York Times that Britain is providing "intelligence from the air and cyberspace that Israel cannot collect its own" Lammy is a liar
A British spy plane set off for Gaza 45 minutes ago It will spend 5 hours over the besieged and starving Palestinian territory The intelligence collected will be provided to Israel But UK government refuses to say what parts of the Netanyahu regime it is handing the intel to

Petro has been raising this alarm - the only analysis that comes close to explaining the US-Israel relationship at this point - that what we are seeing in Gaza is the Americans and Europeans preparing the masses for when they do the same to another nation. Thus, who and when?
“Gaza is an experiment by the mega-rich trying to show all the peoples of the world how to respond to a rebellion of humanity; they plan to bomb us all.” -Colombian President @petrogustavo at The Hague Group Summit
Alex de Waal is one of the world's foremost experts on famine. Listen to every word he says about Israel's forced starvation of the people of Gaza: "There is no case since WW2 of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled"
🚨AFP issues a statement saying this is the 1st time in their entire history their journalists on the ground face death by starvation
Israel is starving little children and babies to death. The entire population is at risk. Doctors are collapsing from hunger as they attempt to save lives. What will bring this horror to an end??
The King of Belgium has denounced “grave human rights abuses” in Gaza that “bring shame on all of humanity” Incredible that a monarch has made a stronger intervention than the leader of the UK Labour party lalibre.be/belgique/polit…
We’ve been watching people lose 10-15 kgs over the past couple of months as they were starved but the famine is now here. The floating pier and humanitarian foundation were America’s false alibi to negate their culpability in this starvation.
I couldn’t hold back my emotions… People were collapsing from hunger in Al-Shifa Hospital’s courtyard, as the bodies of dozens killed by Israeli forces arrived—targeted while trying to get a bag of flour.
Multiple cases of extreme police force were used today by German authorities while arresting activists during a protest in solidarity with Palestine, in one particularly disturbing case officers even went as far as completely obstructing a 13-year-old girls sight as they led her…
This morning the children waited for aid, but bombs came instead. Netanyahu keeps saying it's a war between civilization and barbarism, and this picture proves who the barbarians really are.
The Israeli Authorities are starving civilians in #Gaza. Among them are 1 million children. Lift the siege: allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.
A single Iranian missile left about 2,000 residents of Bat Yam homeless, and will likely require the demolition of 27 buildings. -Ynet
