Today, a Palestinian boy, too young to fully grasp the concept of death, said his finally goodbye to his murdered sister, Tahani Mohammed Shalagah, who died of her wounds after being shot by Israeli occupation forces in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Most people in the UK will never see this video, and if they did the people voicing these statements know they face no consequences.

I've just signed, get enough signatures at least they will have to discuss it (not optimistic about it changing anything but public discussion would be good)

A petition demanding Andy Burnham’s govt launches a public inquiry into the UK's complicity in the Gaza genocide, has reached 10,000 signatures. "Now, let’s get it to 100,000 to force a debate. "The public deserves to know the full scale" - Jeremy Corbyn petition.parliament.uk/petitions/78...

Now it's certainly possible that I wasn't aware in the past but it seems that in a few years BBC News has destroyed its reputation.

BBC report sanitises the overt racism: It notes that organisers warned marchers not to talk to journalists, then gives the "anti-immigration group"'s own sanitised description of itself. It does not report they chanted "England for the white man" in the streets. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

bbc.co.ukPro and anti-immigration protesters march in Herne BayThere was a heavy police presence for the marches by the Kent Nationalist Movement and its opponents.

Everyday they show us what they are, the people see it but our governments ignore it.

It seems targeting British school children for the crime of protesting against genocide is far more important to Friend of Israel Andy Burnham than prosecuting a British volunteer in the Israeli army who helped burn down a Gaza school murdering Palestinian children

Bigots descended on Herne Bay, Kent, England today with chants of 'Save our nation - remigration' 'End the invasion -remigration'. Most shockingly they chanted 'England for the white man'. These are white supremacists not 'concerned citizens'. Britain you've a serious problem, sort it out NOW!

Hundreds of French Thugs beat up a lone protestor in France. This is the message they send, unlimited violence with no consequences. Then they scream victim when the population learn the message THEY send.

“You might wonder how the report could get it so badly wrong?” “Well, let’s take a look at the author, Sir David Bell. He sits on the council of the Academic Group for the Study of Israel and the Middle East—a charity whose main focus is to oppose BDS” www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/here-is-pr...

councilestatemedia.ukHere is proof the report on antisemitism in UK schools is nonsenseAs expected, the Labour government has accepted 27 recommendations of a report into antisemitism in British schools.

By saying ‘he put it back’ Trump’s admitting that Musk took down Starshield in the first place. So either a trillionaire private citizen can now decide the future of an entire European country or Trump is lying about having ordered Musk to do it in order to aid Russia.

bbc.co.ukTrump says Musk has restored access to Ukraine's Starlink networkUkraine relies on Starlink for a range of military uses - its owner Elon Musk has repeatedly denied restricting access.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

This is what the founder of Palantir really thinks of our NHS. Why are we giving them £330 million of NHS contracts - when they have nothing but disdain for our National Healthcare system?

"[the attack] took place around 4am.. while people were asleep.. targeted a residential apartment.. killed a 33yo woman while her daughter was caught in the flames watching her mother burn" Meanwhile the UK media pretends a motion declaring zionism is racism is the problem

The official govt of Israel account muted me after I answered their question, so I decided it’s important even more people see my answer.

Fucking hell, that's one hell of a land grab. So even if your robots.txt file excludes crawlers they are giving themselves the rights to ignore that. And does "create test credentials to access" mean hack?
