This is an absolutely brilliant speech by Nada, EVERY single word she's uses is incredibly important and needs to be listened to, by as many people as possible ... All a bit blah blah to me. It's common knowledge and the main players won't give a fuck looking at who's said it. This message needs to come from a big nation, otherwise it will be quickly forgotten. I completely agree with what she says, but it won't make a bit of difference.

How much longer will Israel be fighting in Gaza before they declare Hamas destroyed?
My mate out here who follows it told me in October it'd be 1-2 months but we're coming up on 4 months now.

They need to level it enough to ensure that no one will come back to it. That does take some time without a nuke or two. Then they can start looking for oil.

Clearly another antisemitic gesture ...
EDIT: I think it's absolutely disgusting that Musk is taking this sort of stuff down off of Twitter, it should be mainstream news FFS! But they're trying to hide it from the world.
Here's another link, no doubt, this too will have been censored, by the time you get to see it! 🙄

I've been arguing for the past couple of years on here, that we must allow Starmer to do whatever it takes to get into power and turn a blind eye to any doubts about him that we might have. I'm a Labour party member and voted for him to be leader FFS! But their position on Palestine has made me realise just how wrong I was. If they can get such a fundamental issue so wrong, then how I can trust them on anything else? I won't be renewing in April.

Apparently this is a resurfaced Reeves speech at a Friend's of Israel gathering a few days after 7th October also attended by Sir Keir
I'll wait to see an explanation if it has been doctored in any way by AI
But Fuck Me if it's accurate where does it leave the 40% og British Jews who claim to be Anti-Zionist
If Labour gain Power will they instruct the Police to hunt them down
This Country may have gone Fucking Bonkers.... I await authenticity of video

But the time, effort and money from organisations affiliated to the state of Israel involved in our politics and our individual politicians is there for all to see……

We may never know I guess, but his social media posts leading up to the incident don't suggest that he was unstable. His last one was as follows: "What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now. I will no longer be complicit in genocide FREE PALESTINE”

If he believed that it would change US policy, he was at the very least, delusional.

I don’t see how any sane person comes to the conclusion that setting themselves on fire is the answer to anything. It’s not even top of the page news on most US websites I’ve checked this morning. If he didn’t do it as a protest to change US policy, then it’s even more confusing. If he did, then it’s just a massive waste of a life. I hope he didn’t have children. Feel sorry for his family.

Of course its a waste of life and thoughts are with his loved ones, some people just have a different take on how to highlight what they perceive to be wrongdoings I guess..............

Think nearly 200 monks have done it in protest at China in Tibet over the last 10-15 years because their religion forbids harm to others so end up doing it to themselves instead.

Sounds radicalized to me. The nicest thing I can say about this is at least they didn’t kill someone else first before killing themselves. That’s all I have though, so I’ll leave it there.

This is absolutely disgraceful, how on earth can Hoyle believe that that answer from him is remotely acceptable? He OFFERED the SNP the SO24 as a part of his apology to them, he can't now withdraw it based on the grounds he's claiming there. It means one of only two things ... he is either corrupt or he is incompetent, there isn't any other alternative. Whichever one it is, he clearly needs to resign his position immediately.

Perfect opportunity for Conservatives to attack but oddly they're supporting him. One would think it's as though there's some pressure and intimidation and it's not from islamists.

In the 60's the burning monks were not pronounced as being mentally ill, their deaths shocked the world and they were headline news everywhere. Sadly most people today aren't even aware of what happened outside the Israeli embassy over the weekend. It's telling how much the world has changed.

This post is not taking sides at all but is just an observation.
The draft terms of a ceasefire are for Israel to release Palestinian prisoners at a ratio of 10:1 for Israeli hostages that include women, children under 19, elderly over 50 and the sick.
Why are Hamas still keeping children, the sick and elderly hostage? Absolutely inexcusable. Actually, why did they take any hostages whatsoever and provoke this barbaric response which they surely knew it would? It is a reminder that both sides are culpable and neither come with clean hands (unlike I suspect 99.9% who have died or been taken hostage since 7 October).
We have no idea why or on what grounds the Palestinians prisoners being released were arrested in the first place, but worst case they have done nothing wrong whatsoever, something we can say with absolute certainty about each and every hostage. So why the 10:1 ratio?
Now we don’t know if those are the final terms of course. But this does not strike me as a deal brokered by a genocidal maniac that Netanyahu has come across as. Quite the contrary.
