Famine in Gaza, pogroms in the West Bank, land grabs in East Jerusalem. These aren't separate developments disconnected from each other.

We probably don't even know half the extent of the Zionists atrocities.

Watch Gerard Horton, the lawyer who works with Palestinian children detained by the Israeli military and prosecuted in Israeli courts shares his experience.

War has been good for Netanyahu:
1. Keeping the war going in Gaza is his best way to stay in power and avoid prison on corruption charges.
2. War with Iran is the best way to make the world forget his war crimes in Gaza. foreignpolicy.com/2024/04/15/isr…

So extraordinary that the rare twisted dragons spire of Copenhagen's former bourse was destroyed by fire on the fifth anniversary of the conflagration at Notre-Dame de Paris, and in both cases restoration work was under way when the fires broke out. Hopefully, it can be restored.

Israel apologist Rachel Riley makes a racist, inciteful tweet suggesting the Sydney knife attack was Muslim terrorism. Called out, she issues an Islamophobic 'apology' in which she suggests the protests against Israel's Gaza genocide pose a threat to Jews

It’s all ok, motorists! Just go back to your old ways - mobile phones at the ready, the odd drink/spliff, break red lights etc

Sure a few Ks over the speed limit won’t hurt anyone /s
